On arrested development I skip the story arc of episodes related to Maeby tricking people in to thinking her mom is trans so they can be awful to her.

There is a lot of casual transphobia that was common at the time, but I just can't fucking stand those scenes.

Well, I'm trans woman but I'm not sure the article is as cut and dry as that? There is good and bad being covered here.

one member wrote. “I need someone to explain to me how taking out the ages will help in the fight against the conservative anti-trans agenda.”

Because any recommendations will be taking as a rule and it depends a lot. Like literally at any age is blockers is blockers fine and HRT seems reasonable at the 11-12ish range when cis puberty would start. But when it comes to top and bottom, well it actually depends a lot. My GF ran in to issues getting BA's purely because of her smaller torso frame. Likewise I know Jazz had difficulties with bottom surgery because she started lockers early enough that her existing genitals didn't have much material to "work with". Work around with using leg tissue is great, but that really seems like a case by case basis. Defiantly pre puberty of course, but post some height growth. The level of dysphoria should also play a factor as well, especially if it currently a self harm risk.

There are some physic limb properational limitations for some surgeries that can't neatly fit in to an "age X" rubric. Saying that Y can't be done until X becomes a hard rule that causes harm.

As always, the true answer is not letting politicians decide bodily autonomy. These choices need to be made between patient and doctor, for all the same reasons only a doctor and patient should decide on reproductive rights.

Admiral Levine “was very concerned that having ages (mainly for surgery) will affect access to care for trans youth and maybe adults, too. Apparently the situation in the U.S.A. is terrible and she and the Biden administration worried that having ages in the document will make matters worse. She asked us to remove them.”

And to the Biden admistrations credit, they are literally trying to exactly that. There is a lot of nuisance here that tragically bigots have no interest in actually engaging with.

You can think that, but understand that it is a theory that the government is conspiring to keep knowledge tech the public.

Look, I can't and won't try to change your mind, seems like you have already decided it's happened. But you should understand that their is no evidence to believe in telepathy. That doesn't mean impossible, but if you choose to believe it is possible AND invented in the early 90s that is entirely a you choice. Much like choosing to believe in god.

So sure, believe whatever. Just know that without evidence it will be difficult to get serious people to take you serious.

Yes, they were programs that were carried out.

No, they did not prove telepathy, mind control or anything of the sort.

they care that an inferior tasting

This is such a self report. Tofu tastes great, you just haven't been around people that know how to cook it. Of course people are allowed to have different preferences but to unilaterally dismiss tofu. When it can taste like literally anything, one of one of the most versatile ingredients known to humanity, just makes you sound sheltered. I have been regularly asked if I made a non-vegan dish for the potluck because they mistook tofu for meat. It's not commonly prepared in America or Europe, but to say "normal people don't like tofu" just makes the content of Asia laugh.

Like truly, I linked recipes for a reason.

Not once did the pop psychologist disagree with Trump’s rant that the election had been stolen and that drug-crazed, mentally ill criminal migrants were invading the U. S. McGraw agreed with Trump that world leaders respect him; that he created the best U.S. economy in history; that he was the best president for Blacks since Abraham Lincoln; and that he tried to calm down crowds chanting “lock her up” about Hilary Clinton. Instead, he asked how Trump could keep going and why people were so energized against him, since he had done such good things for America? Trump replied that he loved the country, and it was just habit for many people to support Democrats, while others were just evil people.

This isn't a surprise. Dr. Phil has always been openly a huge piece of shit that cares more for money than anything else. But dude has his own media personality cult following so of course he had have to do a crossover episode with the felon president.

Okay, so I might be biased but as 8+ year vegan the price barrier is such a cop out. My grocery budget went DOWN after I stopped buying meat. My girlfriend and I eat for a whole month for about $350, breakfast, lunch, dinner. There is more to vegan diets than those lame impossible/bocca/gardiens prepackaged frozen junk, I literally never buy any of it.

Tofu, beans and rice are cheap as hell. Like, of course prepared food is expensive but if you learn the basic easy ways to prepare it yourself you will save a ton. I use this recipe a ton as a base and then change the spices a bit for the specific dish. This site also has a ton of easy basic recipes.

Of course I agree that meat subsidarys are the real problem, but I flat out refuse to accept "veganism is expensive" as a legitimate claim.

This is pure blackpill. I'm really sorry you are in this position, but you truly need to talk this over with a therapist. You're not unlovable, but when you think and talk like this women, rightfully, see nothing but red flags. And then your loneliness become a self fulfilling prophecy.

There is nothing wrong with you, except for the fact that you believe everything is wrong with you. A relationship is literally the last thing you need, instead focus on your own mental health and serenity.

This thread is a form of self harm. I know therapy is hard, but arguging with strangers about how terrible you are won't ever make things better. Tending to your mental health will.

Wolf allegedly tried to grab her six-year-old son and he was able to escape but suffered a cut to his finger. As the woman helped her son, Wolf allegedly grabbed the woman's three-year-old daughter and forced her underwater.

You ever get so drunk that you decide to kill some kids? No? Because that's not a thing. Hate is an American tradition, fuck everything about this lady.
