That minors can’t consent to anything, even when supported by a consenting guardian, is pretty extreme, but I kinda agree with most of what you say here.

Yeah, you basically nailed it. Trans healthcare for minors , if such a term would need defining would be the reduction of of permanent changes brought on by puberty. Generally, adults who started taking puberty blockers as a kid can either stop taking them later and have a (very likely mostly) normal puberty, or they can start pursuing more permanent changes, like hormone therapy.
A good chunk of the ‘debate’ is trying to separate normal people into ‘not trans’ and ‘lesser.’ What we want is really just comprehensive healthcare- same rules for everyone.
To your last point: trans-affirming surgeries have a vastly lower regret rate than most cosmetic surgeries, which is a very good reason to allow trans adults to choose to pursue them. The people passing these laws want a lower class. at no point does “protect trans children” ever come up in earnest.

If you wrote “King of America: Bernie Sanders” on a ballet, they’d throw the whole thing out? I mean, fair. Ballots are no place for having either fun or opinions :(
(If you mean don’t write him in for presidency then yeah obviously but as King?)
Okay but that is a very cool way to clean napkins

Yeah, well. World is full of racists. Can hardly even make fun of 'em without being mistaken for one, now.
This reminded me of the month ‘wigga’ was every fucking one’s favorite word at my very-nearly-all-white school. Nothing good, indeed.
You know what they say: Every needs their!
Ah, heck. I thought it was a witch’s curse. You’re telling me time fried this rice?

SW on the crash: “We love safety. Nothing is more important than safety! Don’t associate our brand with negative feelings, associate it with safety instead :)”

Are you aware of medicine? It’s pretty rude to say “im not disabled like you. It’d be wrong for you to not suffer,” as you did.
Now THIS is podracing
Wow, I can’t believe doom is so young! It’s been a cultural juggernaut my entire life, so it’s weird to think of Doom as “releasing.”
“walk the bird” has cursed crossover potential with my understanding of British slang
