If your horse is on death’s door. And you’re crossing a stream. You’d better be prepared to swim.

I remember being a kid and seeing a sign like that and assuming it meant that it was illegal to use cruse control on that street. TIL otherwise.

To be honest I never expected the BSA would attempt to reform itself as much as it has. I was in a very homophobic troop, a scoutmaster of mine vented to my grandma that all the queer people ought to be put up against the wall and shot. I’m glad things are improving but I don’t think I’ll ever see the organization in a positive light.

What mental healthcare specifically are you talking about? Everyone would ideally be getting mental healthcare. So what additional steps are you suggesting be taken with regards to trans people? Are you arguing against informed consent or for a different standard of care entirely? I cannot tell from your other posts what you actually support, only what you’re opposed to.

You’re being evasive, specifically what treatments are you talking about? Everything from conversion therapy to electric-shock treatments have been attempted in the past without success.

some people want hormones and puberty blockers to be the only way in reducing dysphoria and a big part of that wants surgery to be the only way. calling everybody bigots and fascists because you disagree with someone only shows how weak your arguments are.

What do you propose to reduce dysphoria other than gender affirming care? Y’all talk a big game but you have no alternatives that aren’t abjectly cruel whilst being entirely ineffective.

BTB did an episode that covered competitive hotdog eating for those interested. IIRC the competitions were coed until a woman started doing well enough to get noticed. Sexism goes so deep, some folks just never want to see a woman beat a man in anything.

I would be looking for ways to revert that update. Either using a pre-existing timeshift shapshot or maybe apt’s built in reversion capability. (Which I’m not familiar with, sorry.) Hopefully someone with real skills will chime in, good luck.

Columbo comes to mind, he refuses to carry a gun and goes after the wealthy and powerful, including other cops. If only real cops were so chill.

In my experience the bigots tend to view it as a bridge the other way. It let’s them feel like they care whilst still pushing a destructive agenda. There is no compromise on the table, they just want you to submit.
