Okay congrats you win the trauma Olympics. I guess i will stop *checks notes* telling the other members of the trans community not to unalive themselves.

Idk why you are arguing that trans people should unalive themselves more and think it's cowardly not to but respectfully, get bent.

My mom found my brother's corpse after he offed himself. How many more closed casket funerals should I go to before it's fine for me to tell people to keep FIGHTING to stay alive????
December 10, 2024 at 7:25 PM
I told someone not to off themselves over the biggest prick on the planet and said that people are going to be hurt by all this.... the person i was responding to said they don't care if cis people lose access to care and I was critical of that.

How tf is that apathy????

What inaction did i give excuses for?

It would make using Canada's giant tap easier so you guys can get water.

But if you join then we can end the war over which country has better maple syrup. :P

Lol no I just have better things to do in life than talk to someone intent on being a brick wall.
December 10, 2024 at 6:49 PM
Im not and you know it. Im muting you though so don't think my lack of a response is that you found some gotcha. good luck with whatever it is you need in life.

Im non binary. I've also successfully gotten people to move further left via empathy. I'm sorry there wasn't a whole essay of disclaimers but that was the point of the "not that it matters." My whole point was instead of this affecting 1% ish of the population, it affects easily a good 10%+
December 10, 2024 at 6:23 PM
You literally just said that you don't care if people with a hormone condition get medical care because by virtue of being cis, they don't care enough. Not getting that treatment means they could ultimately die from diabetes or suffer their whole lives with gender dysphoria. /2
December 10, 2024 at 6:07 PM
And what did you do for every issue in the world that doesn't directly impact you? 100% of people only have so much time in the day and if you get them to vote for something that benefits both of you, it doesn't matter that they didn't become full time activists for the cause. /1

According to pew, 64% of people favor protecting trans care, 25% are neutral, and 10% oppose it.

Theres a lot more than 10% of the population that is cis.

Further the reason I used gender neutral language for ppl with pcos is because it's literally a gnc condition.

You won't know if you let a man who stares into the sun take your life. If you're going to come to that choice one day, at least don't let it be him that caused it. Be the model our elders were for us and fight like hell so the youths know that they are worth fighting for.
December 10, 2024 at 5:48 PM
Plenty of people with pcos voted to protect your rights. Its good to care because if we tell people that it affects them too in ways they didn't know, then we can get them to care.
December 10, 2024 at 5:45 PM
Bc if you go now, then they win and will dance at your funeral. Right now sucks and if you go, then the last thing you knew was some prick trying to destroy you. You will never know what good things you didn't get to see. Its easy to think "there won't be any" but there's always another sunrise.
December 10, 2024 at 5:21 PM
This shit will harm cis ppl too. It matters even if it didn't but they're ultimately going to hurt a large chunk of people with hormone issues. Pcos peeps better start caring if they want their treatment. One of the biggest meds they use is a men's prostate medicine they're using off label.

And pretty much none of them are ever going to need to worry about their social security.
December 10, 2024 at 2:45 PM
Question as a not lawyer. If they took away social security, could we sue the government on the grounds that that was our money we paid in for decades and it being allowed to dry up is unacceptable, or would there be a similar angle we could take?

Everything i know about back pain, it makes you go crazy. I suspect that played a heavy part.

My guess is that he will get first degree murder and will take a plea deal. There's evidence that he has a spinal chord injury and united healthcare screws everyone equally. It probably wasn't ideology so much as it being personal.

I saw a guy say he's healthy and has to pay $1300 a year for something he doesn't use, then when his drs order blood work he has to pay full price, and the one time he had to actually go to the hospital it cost 7 grand.

They did that during lockdown too.

There was a great video of a magat shrieking with rage in this michigan Capitol police's face. They also arrested some maga for dressing like blm(Wendy darling and her friends) with intention to go out and riot so everything they accuse us of is projection.
December 8, 2024 at 3:07 PM
I think that is what made me angriest. Few videos stick with me as much as j6 and when a cop does something wrong, it's back the blue. When people peacefully protest(not rioters just the protests) it's back the blue. When they do j6 it's "the cops teargassed us into making a gallows."
December 8, 2024 at 3:04 PM
Every last one of you are true heroes. Nothing dump had done has been as horrible as what he put you guys through. When I need a sanity check, I watch videos from that day. I am so sorry and more than that, I'm so sorry that the back the blue crowd apparently doesn't mean the bravest of all the blue
