Circumcision is not gender-affirming care? "Oh, that's different!"
It is different. It's genital mutilation. Has fuck all to do with gender affirmation
jfc what kind of sacrifice do I need to make to what ancient diety to get him to step down?
I think we gotta have a conversation as a society about when the hand over the reins to the kids. I'm in my 30's and glad life expectancy peaked cause seeing the gerontocracy from this end is horrifying.
I'll accept Cthulhu. I always assumed an ancient being as old as the universe would destroy my puny existence
If we're going to be ruled by Old Ones, they might as well be Great.
Glad you posted this, it reminded me to update my Lemmy content filter! Up to now, I've just filtered out any headline including the word "slam, slammed, or slams." Because those headlines are garbage. Now I've remembered I need to add the word "blast, blasted, and blasts," because those are garbage too. Thanks!!
woe woe woe. lemmy has a content filter. I liked kbin and was going mbin but I would really like a filter for certain key words.
Not that I've thought a lot about this specific issue, but I just want to mention that intersex babies have been receiving surgeries for decades in order to make them conform to the majority, far before they were capable of having or expressing any opinion on the matter. So I'm going to be really skeptical of people who oppose trans teens requesting surgery when they themselves have been asking for it, and they have the support of their doctors, as it just looks like the fact that they're straying away from normativity makes a lot of people apply an unfair double standard.
Biden was never much of a fighter. He's done almost nothing to help while dozens of states pass anti trans legislature. But hey he made it so trans people can join the military again, if they can survive their state that is.
You mean like hoods executive order that was blocked by courts? I’m not saying he’s the biggest trans ally but saying he’s done almost nothing is unfair imo
What do you propose he does?
Not give speeches that cave to conservative pressure? Especially since there's no way for him to pull their votes away from Trump anyway.

Please remember we knew all of this about Donald Drumph in 2016, and we allowed The Electoral College to vote him in. This was before he was elected and John Oliver was pleading for us to vote this guy out.
Biden isn't who anyone wants, but if you want to stop having to decide between a shit sandwich and a steaming pile of shit, you have to be constantly vigilant.
Engage on a local level so that RCV or anything other than FPTP voting is enacted. Do the same at your state level. Literally 80+% of the voters would support RCV if it is presented with no political bias, some will recommend some addendums, but will still be fine with the overall idea.
The federal level will follow because they have to or we start exercising our second amendment rights.
Make the government scared of the people, to the point that we can disband the slaver gangs called police.
