I hate to be that guy, but early in our history the Supreme Court recognized that each house of Congress has the inherent power to enforce subpoenas by having its Sargeant at Arms arrest people who fail to comply with subpoenas. The later law allowing DOJ prosecution did nothing to change this power

Oh. That use of "it" hadn't really occurred to me.

This sort of thing really triggers an adrenaline surge for me, and not in a good way. I can watch soldiers being blown up all day with less reaction than a defenseless person (even a Russian soldier) being beaten mercilessly.

Chinese (or at least Mandarin and Shanghainese) also do this. But I doubt either language does it for any especially enlightened reasons.

I won't lie. I'd be more comfortable with they/them & just using your name when "they" would sound weird, like if I was saying "Buddhacjcc is very tall." But, if you don't like that, I'd call you "it."
"It" is just uncomfortable because it's usually used for objects & non-human animals.

And I'd kill (or maybe seriously injure) for your height. See? Everybody's jealous of you!
But, obviously I get it that being so different from almost everybody else is hard.
Be strong (and tall and smooth-legged).

When she was quite young, my daughter said she was more beautiful than her mom. When asked why, she said "because I have hair on my legs" (or maybe arms). When she got older she was actively annoyed at me that my Italian and Northern European genes were the source of her body hair, as if I chose it.

When I first read that tall stature was a symptom of XXY, it seemed surprising, but if it delays puberty, it makes sense that growth continues longer.
I'm glad I didn't have to go through what you did, but does it help to know that I & many (probably most) other XYs are jealous of your height?

The guns allow the criminally insane & those just having a bad day to impulsively kill people, but there's evidence of more criminal insanity in the US. Tens of millions voted for T* in the hope that he'd brutalize people they hate for racist & xenophobic reasons.
That's insane & should be criminal

Well, maybe they're worried about the birds that shouldn't be released, like the names of the victims who haven't chosen to go public and didn't abuse others.

Every independent clause is a lie too.

Because they'll pretend they thought you were going to ram them and shoot you in the back.
They're murderous thugs engaged in a terrorist campaign of intimidation. You may want to take the risk of being shot in defense of your rights, but others may want to resist in less dangerous ways.
