One of the fundamental "magic of the internet" moments I've always cherished is finding a tiny creator who demonstrates surprising talent. A cool song with barely any views, a great new artist with a dozen followers, etc.
The thrill is gone, replaced by doubt for "unverified" art thanks to genAI.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

So what are trans people who can’t get their original birth certificates supposed to do in these situations? Now that passport restrictions are back, this is what people are stuck with. She can’t obtain those docs so her passport is effectively blocked.

This is basically making it so trans people who were adopted and had their birth records sealed cannot obtain a passport at all. This will also ensnare cis people who were adopted and have clerical errors on their records or are suspected of being trans.

the lesson you have to draw from this is:
you HAVE to be unapologetic about what you do. "fuck the rest of the world, we love furries and we're gonna show them that they love them too" is an inspiring attitude
