FBI presence must mean they at least had reason to think it could be murder, right?

I was expecting this to be a heat or fall deaths for sure.

How soon? The guidelines for renewal are a year before it expires, but I think they might have still counted mine as a year when it was like, 1 year and 350 days or something like that. Rounding down, basically.

If kids can give informed consent doesn’t the entire argument for not fucking kids cause they can’t consent go right out the window?

What is with people being absolutely unable to reconcile ‘children should have some input over their own healthcare decisions, actually’ with ‘grown adults should not be able to sexually prey on children’?

Knowing your gender is so different to having sex that I’m having trouble believing anyone is bringing it up sincerely.

The important thing to remember with trans kids is that there isn’t a ‘do nothing’ option if they want HRT. ‘Nothing’ is actually ‘force them to undergo puberty for the wrong gender,’ which is traumatic and has effects as permanent as taking HRT.

Going through puberty with HRT as a trans person isn’t any more inappropriate than going through natal puberty is for cis kids. Natal puberty is having permanent, unpredictable effects on their bodies as well, except we just call that growing up. Trans teens also deserve to grow up like their peers, without spending most of their waking hours managing their dysphoria because some third party who’s never met them is uncomfortable.

I’ve replaced my ice cream with fruit popsicles (the kind with blended up fruit bits, not just a bit of juice), I figure even if it’s just as bad for me it’s at least got marginally more fiber.

Instead of using a single meta study (which itself has limitations) as a reason to declare that HRT has no effect on suicidality—which isn’t even something the meta study claimed—you could take a peek at the political climate for trans people right now and just not?

because studies range from showing HRT helps a little to not at all at preventing suicide

You’re misinformed, the evidence supporting HRT for those that want it is sufficient that withholding it is unethical. HRT alone not being able to overcome extreme minority stress for everyone doesn’t mean it’s not helpful or necessary.

While family and community support is extremely important, it can’t replace medical transition for those that want it. You can’t hug the dysphoria away.

Yeah, when you live in a society that treats you like shit for an immutable characteristic that tends to happen. It’s called minority stress, and it happens to cis queer people as well.

No, that was me giving them the chance to clarify what they meant if their comment wasn’t them huffing about how preteens/teens can medically transition but not have sex with adults.

Anyway, as someone who is trans and used to be a kid, knowing your gender isn’t really anything like having sex.

Uh, do you want to rephrase that, because it sounds like you’re mad you can’t fuck kids.

This thread is about kids medically transitioning, by the time they’re undergoing puberty they’re teens or preteens. Not like six year olds who want to do ballet or whatever.

Note: dogs only! Permethrin is toxic to cats.

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has stated that the heartbeat law does not explicitly mandate life support for brain‑dead women, calling the situation legally unclear.

Knowing how this situation should legally play out is your fucking job! Christ, it’s a miracle there are any doctors left there.

Today when I was coming home from the store, a man on the tiniest motorcycle I’d ever seen a grown man ride zipped down along the street. His knees were sticking out so that he could squat down on it. I didn’t straight up laugh because I didn’t want to be mean, but it definitely made me laugh inside.

I don’t think it was a stolen kid’s motor bike or anything like that, it looked strange and squat, almost like he was driving a sidecar. But I didn’t get a great look at it.

Edit: oops, didn’t notice the community this was in. It’s showing as a gift article for me, though

If that’s accurate, there’s reason for hope: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world

‘Lesbians wearing shirts about sex during Pride month are just like straight dudes wearing shirts about sex any time’ is incredibly kneejerk and poorly reasoned, you can do better than this.

“Shut up or I’ll give you my anxiety” has now become a threat that is possible to follow through on.

That’s the main problem, you either spend a lot up front or a lot in random, unpredictable intervals.

I’m really fortunate to be able to rely on public transit despite living in LA, because I can’t imagine paying for everything associated with a car on top of rent.

It looks like a set up for a “suqma DICK lmao” joke, but it’s actually just a store.
