Just to be clear on this, I am NOT on your team. Because I'm not on anybody's team:
I'm a referee. I am here to call the fouls when I see them.
And I am full well aware that everybody hates the referee while the game is being played, so you don't need to tell me. But I also

Right, they don't make you "less of" a woman. They make you NOT a woman. "Woman" is not a spectrum.

The whole Grizzly Man narrative tends to ignore the fact that he lived among the bears for 15 years before one ate him.
Compare that with others who have attempted to assimilate into outsider cultures, and it starts to look like a pretty good run.

My friend and I were just casually chatting on the phone once, reminiscing. I was recalling a certain event, and remembered that an ex-girlfriend of his was present, but I couldn't remember her name. His response: "Oh, that was Natalie, the bitch that murdered my child."

I saw someone saying that Kamala actually has real charisma, but it's not POTUS charisma, it's fourth-hour-host-of-the-Today-Show charisma, and I think that guy nailed it.

It sounds like he loved his G son very much, and completely accepted him as such. It's a shame his son couldn't accept himself. And maybe he could have had he been counselled to do so, rather than be submitted to a lifetime of medicalization.

Oh Joshua, the "weird" thing is so two weeks ago. But I get it, your media overlords have been slow to roll out the new insult de jour, so I'll cut you some slack.

Toxic sensitivity. When you pile the weight of the world on a person and insist they care very intensely and deeply about every perceived injustice, it will invariably curdle into cynicism, then nihilism.

I actually happen to know the story behind this photo, and it dates back to a time when "non-binary transkid" wasn't even a whisper in the culture. The child was simply autistic.

"Is it safety?"
Yeah, that's the 1st question because deep down this person knows that's the answer.
Yes, it's safety.
Not that there aren't other dimension such as basic human dignity & coherent standards, but in the most pure, boiled-to-its-essence analysis, yes, it's safety.

It is tricky, because if you don't want to vote for Kamala, you might still be black, but just a misogynist.

Right, because he had Roe V Wade to run interference. It's very easy to be vocally pro-life when there's not much to be done about it.
Trump installed the justices that got it overturned. He has indisputably moved the needle vastly farther on this issue than Reagan ever did.

Which is why they are not restricted from playing against men in any competitive league involving any of those things, to my knowledge. A women's division is a function of women wanting to have a league for themselves. And excluding males is a function of knowing what women are.

Counterpoint: People aren't who they say they are. I can say I'm the King of England. A person can say they're kind and compassionate then go home and kick the dog. You are not your proclamations; you are the manifestation of your physical self and the actions of that self.

You'd have to explain the legality behind that, especially since the current definition of a "trans" person is "one who claims they are trans".

Why, it's almost like he allowed- if not engineered for- these people to pour over the border for his entire term, and can now pretend to care about it in an election year. Now to just figure out how to allow for all these poor migrants to vote for him....

God willing, God willing some basic awareness is breaking through on how much damage this movement is doing. The lifelong effects of unnecessary medical treatments; healthy bodies compromised, basic function destroyed. Women's spaces violated, accomplishments diminished.

What a truly warped perspective to think a person is a "monster" because he has an emotional investment in a life of his creation.

This might be the most painful 'ripping the bandaid off' in the history of civilization. Indulging compulsives was never a psychologically sound treatment approach, and having to course-correct for this will be profoundly challenging for society and the medical establishment.
