At my school it was option 3, coaches' locker room, in the mid-'90s several states from there

I had a roommate from California in '99 who also called it the coaches' locker room (in some long-winded story about how he peaked in high school)

What do you mean? I thought this was supposed to be a tale of platonic friendship between two heterosexual women??

Wasn't one of the potential postwar plans like "you've done this twice now, you get your pastoralist wish with a monkey's paw thrown in" and making the German economy almost totally preindustrial agriculture? I seem to remember reading about that somewhere

IT'S EASY

AND A LOT CHEAPER THAN HAVING TO SUE SOMEONE WHEN YOU COULD'VE HAD THE GOVERNMENT DO IT FOR YOU

I think it's more insidious than that; once they achieve Getting the Prof In Trouble they're basically untouchable in their other classes *and* guaranteed speaking fees on the RW grift circuit.

"Older Marine" isn't right, based on the rank insignia that guy's mid-30s maximum; after age 30 is when it starts looking suspicious not to have been promoted past what's shown.

I'm 46, socially transitioned at 38 and got hrt at 40, and yeah there's no such thing as too late

I'm just hoping that by the time the waveform collapses the dad is irrelevant enough not to cause too much more harm

I found out just before my fifth birthday that:
- trans people exist
- I'm one
- that's an existentially unsafe thing to be around my stepdad

So, I played the part of a well-behaved child until I could escape, I've never been loved *for who I am* by a parent, only as a trophy that eventually broke
