Guh, now I wonder what that tastes like

There being no gender norms would actually be even more liberating. It means we're not pressured into only wearing femme clothing (when going the estrogen route) or masculine ones (when doing testosterone).

It'd open up a ton of possibilities for cis and queer people alike; wearing skirts on warm days for men also, or wearing pretty nail polish, or short hair for women...

That's my stance as well, although I'd start puberty blockers a little before puberty starts. So around 6/8 yo, and HRT around 12/14. And also without parental consent needed, a lot of trans youth have strict parents which damages their prospects on that.

Obv, the blockers and hrt should occur with informed consent regardless, but yeah.

Yup. Before I came out, as a kid we often had shared showers and drying rooms. Pretty chill actually, we learnt to interact and talk with each other that way, instead of being segregated and correspondingly implicitly seeing the other side as something forbidden, mythical -- when they're just... people, really.

I think some also went there, or to Australia and New Zealand. Maybe other ones too. But I'm less certain of all those.

Trumpites are the real RINOs (Republicans In Name Only).

Mainly France. Macron invited a lot of scientists. Germany and other EU countries as well.

don't forget oligarchs

These are federal statistics. I wouldn't trust those, especially not since Trump tries his best to skim and remove anything he doesn't like.

The reality is way worse. The 1% holds far more than the graph shows.

A waste of space and oxygen, those televangelists are.

Fun fact: during the Nuremberg trials it was determined that the "just following orders" excuse was in fact, not valid; and that someone always ought to disobey their superiors when that goes against liberty.
