He started in baby swim classes but by the time he was in his preteens he was struggling to find swimwear he felt comfortable in and he stopped swimming. While avoiding public pools for safety and comfort, he fell in love with lake swimming. But it wasn't until years later, when he was able to finally gain access to gender-affirming health care and had top surgery that he really felt he was able to start dreaming of swimming again, he said.

So, to recap: four humans are turned Vulcan via a shot. They believe that they have improved, that they are now the version of themselves they were meant to be, and want to remain. The rest of the crew, and the script, believe that they have been turned into something that is against their nature. The crew reluctantly acknowledge that remaining Vulcan is their choice but they encourage them to get in touch with their unaltered soul self - which works to convince them to detransition. Also, Chapel cuts off all contact to her friends, Uhura grooms Beto to become a Vulcan, too, and La'an has a secret agenda. Every bit of this is based in transphobic rhetoric.

The satirical writer Sinclair Lewis waited a year to offer his scathing critique. He described Carnegie's method as teaching people to "smile and bob and pretend to be interested in other people's hobbies precisely so that you may screw things out of them." However, despite the criticism, sales continued to soar and the book was talked about and reviewed as it rapidly became mainstream.

much like sherlock holmes I have been cursed with the paper-hoarding autism
"But his papers were my great crux. He had a horror of destroying documents, especially those which were connected with his past cases, and yet it was only once in every year or two that he would muster energy to docket and arrange them; for, as I have mentioned somewhere in these incoherent memoirs, the outbursts of passionate energy when he performed the remarkable feats with which his name is associated were followed by reactions of lethargy during which he would lie about with his violin and his books, hardly moving save from the sofa the table. Thus month after month his papers accumulated, until every corner of the room was stacked with bundles of manuscript which were on no account to be burned, and which could not be put away save by their owner." -- The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual

PMs need to consult with spirits, like the old days
King's occult interests were kept secret during his years in office, and only became publicized after his death when his diaries were opened. Readers were amazed and for some, King was saddled with the moniker 'Weird Wlillile." King communed with spirits, using seances with paid mediums. Thereby, he claimed to have communicated with Leonardo da Vinci, Wilfrid Laurier, his dead mother, his grandfather, and several of his dead dogs, as well as the spirit of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Some historians argue that he sought personal reassurance from the spirit world, more than political advice.
