@AriDrennen It’s funny he highlights divorce. This is the thing that gives conservative men the ability to obtain respectability through family and then subsequently allow them to trade in the older model woman for a younger one. There’s a reason conservatives keep adjusting child marriage.

@AriDrennen It’s funny that Dr. P had a very good realization a while ago about dysphoria. If someone was truly “only AGP” and started getting medicine, theoretically if it was wrong for them their dysphoria would kick in and tell them to stop. Give people the chance to try for themselves.

I am happier on the whole since starting transitioning. However, it feels almost as if I have that much extra pressure to “project happy”, to almost prove that I’m transgender to the ones around me. It gets wearing after some time, honestly. Still trans though.

@transscribe I had no idea it was called the "Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act", or the "SAFE" Act. Another spotlight on what they're trying to do to transgender identity--literally saying that they need to "save kids" from it, that it's "experimentation"... Completely transphobic.
