Okay congrats you win the trauma Olympics. I guess i will stop *checks notes* telling the other members of the trans community not to unalive themselves. Idk why you are arguing that trans people should unalive themselves more and think it's cowardly not to but respectfully, get bent.

My mom found my brother's corpse after he offed himself. How many more closed casket funerals should I go to before it's fine for me to tell people to keep FIGHTING to stay alive????
comment in response to post
I told someone not to off themselves over the biggest prick on the planet and said that people are going to be hurt by all this.... the person i was responding to said they don't care if cis people lose access to care and I was critical of that. How tf is that apathy????

What inaction did i give excuses for?

Lol no I just have better things to do in life than talk to someone intent on being a brick wall.

Im not and you know it. Im muting you though so don't think my lack of a response is that you found some gotcha. good luck with whatever it is you need in life.

Im non binary. I've also successfully gotten people to move further left via empathy. I'm sorry there wasn't a whole essay of disclaimers but that was the point of the "not that it matters." My whole point was instead of this affecting 1% ish of the population, it affects easily a good 10%+
comment in response to post
You literally just said that you don't care if people with a hormone condition get medical care because by virtue of being cis, they don't care enough. Not getting that treatment means they could ultimately die from diabetes or suffer their whole lives with gender dysphoria. /2

And what did you do for every issue in the world that doesn't directly impact you? 100% of people only have so much time in the day and if you get them to vote for something that benefits both of you, it doesn't matter that they didn't become full time activists for the cause. /1
comment in response to post
According to pew, 64% of people favor protecting trans care, 25% are neutral, and 10% oppose it. Theres a lot more than 10% of the population that is cis. Further the reason I used gender neutral language for ppl with pcos is because it's literally a gnc condition.

You won't know if you let a man who stares into the sun take your life. If you're going to come to that choice one day, at least don't let it be him that caused it. Be the model our elders were for us and fight like hell so the youths know that they are worth fighting for.
comment in response to post
Plenty of people with pcos voted to protect your rights. Its good to care because if we tell people that it affects them too in ways they didn't know, then we can get them to care.

Bc if you go now, then they win and will dance at your funeral. Right now sucks and if you go, then the last thing you knew was some prick trying to destroy you. You will never know what good things you didn't get to see. Its easy to think "there won't be any" but there's always another sunrise.
comment in response to post
This shit will harm cis ppl too. It matters even if it didn't but they're ultimately going to hurt a large chunk of people with hormone issues. Pcos peeps better start caring if they want their treatment. One of the biggest meds they use is a men's prostate medicine they're using off label.

And pretty much none of them are ever going to need to worry about their social security.
comment in response to post
Question as a not lawyer. If they took away social security, could we sue the government on the grounds that that was our money we paid in for decades and it being allowed to dry up is unacceptable, or would there be a similar angle we could take?

Everything i know about back pain, it makes you go crazy. I suspect that played a heavy part.

My guess is that he will get first degree murder and will take a plea deal. There's evidence that he has a spinal chord injury and united healthcare screws everyone equally. It probably wasn't ideology so much as it being personal.
comment in response to post
I saw a guy say he's healthy and has to pay $1300 a year for something he doesn't use, then when his drs order blood work he has to pay full price, and the one time he had to actually go to the hospital it cost 7 grand.
comment in response to post
They did that during lockdown too. There was a great video of a magat shrieking with rage in this michigan Capitol police's face. They also arrested some maga for dressing like blm(Wendy darling and her friends) with intention to go out and riot so everything they accuse us of is projection.
comment in response to post
I think that is what made me angriest. Few videos stick with me as much as j6 and when a cop does something wrong, it's back the blue. When people peacefully protest(not rioters just the protests) it's back the blue. When they do j6 it's "the cops teargassed us into making a gallows."
comment in response to post
Every last one of you are true heroes. Nothing dump had done has been as horrible as what he put you guys through. When I need a sanity check, I watch videos from that day. I am so sorry and more than that, I'm so sorry that the back the blue crowd apparently doesn't mean the bravest of all the blue

My Hungarian friend said the biggest goal of orbans government is to run it like a mafia and have a few people who siphon off as much money as possible. I fear that is trumps goal too.

We learned it in school but they literally told us it was done for everyone's safety. Even as a kid I knew that was bs
comment in response to post
It makes me sick, especially since I live in a northern border state.i remember last time seeing ice regularly. I'm afraid of seeing those cars again knowing it could mean someone being taken away. Knowing a kid might come home and never see their parents again.

Apparently the kamala for they them ad was done by the guy who did the John Kerry swift boat ad. This is the third time now at least that dems have ignored one and lost because of it. We deserved to lose because we acted like we were above it.

And we suck at sales because everyone in campaign strategy are people who got started knocking on your door 5 times to tell you why a no solicitors sign doesn't apply to them. At a time when people don't want to engage with delivery drivers. 2/2
comment in response to post
Yeah because they didn't work on doing good at sales. At a time that DEMANDED boldness her team said "be cautious"they ignored a swift boat ad, they stopped doing public rallies, and the worst sin. She said she wouldn't change a thing from biden. We lost purely because we suck at sales. 1/2

You know what coffee people didn't want? Tea until i sold it to them. Then I got some of my most passionate customers. We're fragmented because someone thought "we won't have leaders" was a goid idea. We'll its time to circle up and its time to learn marketing.

With dearborn, do you know why they thought trump would be good for palestine? No one thought to put up this billboard. No instead they put up a billboard in the bluest city that informs you he's a felon.
comment in response to post
With better salesmanship. We suck ass at selling our ideas to the point where even other leftists get incredibly annoyed with us. At canvassing training they were telling us "just so you know, you aren't soliciting so the no soliciting sign doesn't count." We need to start selling not arguing.

Its not fighting for the people, it's getting them to put down the gun. Look at their vote as being like money. Their vote spends the same as ours and if we win them over with things that make their lives better it makes ours better too

Its not about facts, it's about sales and we suck ass at that.

This would tank the dollar and potentially bitcoin. With how much of an economic powerhouse America is, this would cause the greatest depression.

Medieval people thought dogs were put here to ease the pains of life and to be a friend so what's a better point of optimism than a dog getting a loving home?

Then we need to make it. You want people who care to have power? Then do what I'm doing and work to acquire power. The worst thing we do is let evil people get power uncontested because we decide we can't have more than we already do.

Yup I grew up in Bible belt and worked at a trumpy job so I feel very unsafe with far right people
comment in response to post
Here's how I look at it. Xyz jobs will still exist and be done by someone. It might as well be done by someone who wants to do the right thing. Intention doesn't get you far but doing the work does. If good people refuse to do x then that leaves only bad people to
comment in response to post
Yeah I'm nowhere near that level of power or importance but I just did something at my job that will ultimately positively impact everyone due to how supply chains work. That makes me feel good and makes me want more power to help people. You have fdr's who did want to do good and then there's dump
