Älskar det! Tillsammans marcherar vi utför stupet i solidaritet! Eh, hmm. Wait a minute.

That's pretty awesome of him to actually admit he was in the wrong and apologize instead of doubling down.
It's pretty! Getting cliffs of Dover vibes.

They both look really good lol, I love this idea
"Against a backdrop of American flags, Mr Trump, who is the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, struck a defiant tone and told the assembled crowd he had "every right" to hold the classified documents, but "hadn't had a chance to go through all the boxes". "
Except that the minor detail that there's an audio recording of him in 2021 admitting he didn't declassify them. I can't believe this is finally happening. I was so sure nothing would ever come out of all of this. I'll admit there's still a minuscule chance he'll get off, but it's actually starting to look like the end of Trump. I really hope he doesn't croak before he's put in jail. That anti-climatic ending would just be the end of me.
First they piss off conservatives with the Mulvaney promotion, and then they piss off everyone else by backtracking. They should have just stuck to their guns.
For real. I wouldn't be surprised if it in minuscule writing on the post-it says: "Hitler didn't do anything wrong"
I don't know what the worse war crime here is. Bagging the soda, or actually drinking Dr. Pepper. Do people actually enjoy that stuff?
WAIT. Spez was a mod on fucking r/jailbait???? WHAT????
Glad that we are in agreement and can talk about this in a civil manner! I would just like to clear up a few things. A lot of people seem to think that when a child transitions they are immediately taken to a hospital where they're pumped full of drugs and then snip snip.
Stage one: the transition starts as a social one by changing their name, for instance. There's nothing permanent about changing your name.
Stage two: the next stage is puberty blockers. The criteria for a minor to get puberty blockers prescribed to them are:
-They have to show a long-lasting and intense pattern of gender nonconformity or gender dysphoria
-Have gender dysphoria that began or worsened at the start of puberty
-Any psychological, medical or social problems that could interfere with treatment needs to be addressed.
-Have entered the early stage of puberty
-Be provided informed consent
Puberty blockers temporarily stop puberty from setting in. By taking puberty blockers it keeps the person from undergoing changes that might lead to them undertaking surgeries later in life. And once you stop taking puberty blockers, the puberty kicks in. Nothing permanent about this stage either.
Stage three: Next next is hormone treatment (or HRT). Hormone treatments for transwomen, for example, suppress things like testosterone production and decrease muscle mass/strength. Almost all effects of HRT are reversible, except breast development in transwomen. HRT can cause infertility, but not always, which is why a lot of transwomen first put their sperm in spermbanks, in case they ever want to have children. HRT is only legal for minors if they get parental consent, meet several criteria after having been diagnosed with gender dysphoria for at least 6 months.
Stage four: Surgery. Mastectomies for transmen and penectomies for transwomen. Not legal without parental consent. Even when a minor has parental support for their transition, transition-related surgeries are not typically performed prior to the age of 18. While there are some reports of transgender teens between the ages of 16 and 18 receiving transition-related surgical care, these cases are exceedingly rare and based on the specific medical needs of the teen. Most trans people, counting adults, don't ever go through gender affirming surgeries, in fact. Only about 30%, and then the satisfaction rate sits at around 99.7% currently.
You mentioned that there are zero outcome studies, but gender affirming surgeries have been a thing for over sixty years! There have been plenty of studies. It's just the last few years that people have been starting to realize trans people exist, it seems. They've actually been around in different cultures around the world for thousands of years.
Sorry for the wall of text, and thanks for the chat. I hope we both can agree that since treatments seem to work and regret rates are low, we can with our current scientific understanding of the matter, along with decades worth of study, that there's no point in being against them. I don't think you're a bad person for being critical and asking questions. I just think you're misinformed. Have a nice day!
När jag var ett barn var jag ganska ängslig och rädd om nätterna, men min tonåriga storebror brukade ibland röta runt i köket på nätterna och då kändes det tryggt. Det har hängt kvar tills nu när jag är vuxen inser jag. Älskar att sova när det sitter folk runt om kring mig och pratar, även om de är högljudda. Och om det är folk ute på gatan som festar tycker jag det är lika mysigt det med!
