If you're living together, please consider giving them some time to figure things out, if that's feasible for you.

I cannot stress this enough. Your partner is going through a lot right now and they need support. It might be difficult to deal with seeing them transition, but it's paramount that they have at least some stability in their lives during this time.

I say this from personal experience as I came out to my wife, and she moved out the next day. It was absolutely devastating, and even with the incredible amount of support and found family I have, it's impossible to convey the sheer amount of damage that decision has caused emotionally.

Your partner will understand your preferences, as hard as it may be for her, but she will not be able to understand abandonment.

This is literally the sole hope I have for the USSC. It is still ruinous to the nation, but at least means there are places you will be able to go that aren't utter shitholes.

Much like my racist family members bitching endlessly about Black Panther despite never watching any Marvel movies ever, I guarantee he saw "Get Out" in the top 10 and is livid that a movie with a largely black cast could be popular and well-liked.

Not only that, but targeting the ~20% of the population that's post-menopausal cis women with all the benefits of HRT would be a WAY bigger market than the 1-5% of the population that might be trans. If it was about making money on HRT, they're certainly not going for a very large market.

Not only that, but wouldn't Big Pharma™ be lobbying heavily against all the anti-trans healthcare bills? Seems like they're doing a pretty awful job of maintaining their market.

But see, it was the other team, so it's okay.

Same with Colorado. I don't think I heard "pop" once in the 20 years I lived there

Yup. I had a buddy give himself Vitamin A poisoning from eating gummy multivitamins like they were candy.

Hell, they'll yell at cis women that are just taller than average or have a short haircut. Or, even more likely, is a PoC.
