It's important because it shows exactly what they stand for in legal writing. Yeah it won't pass but it's still good to note.

Guy who owned the segway company died after rolling backwards off a cliff on one.

It sounds like your partner has autism with a PDA profile. Pathological Demand Avoidance. One way that expresses itself is through using perceived physical inability to avoid doing what they see as a demand. Such as your partner being too tired when having to go to therapy, but not when shopping.

I don't think I have much advice for your current situation beyond reading up on PDA and how to cope with a partner who has those signs. Mostly, I think it's going to have to come from within your partner. Who will have to go to therapy, and work on coping mechanisms for someone with PDA.

Both are interesting and both are generally how Batman is. It depends on the run. Sometimes he's dark and grows into a paragon, and sometimes the reverse is true. Totally depends on the author.

If it helps, if you give in to the urge you unlock special powers and stuff.

I feel like that is kind of the whole point behind this thing. They get to completely shut down the government while they play up all the internal strife as if it's not manufactured to keep the government from performing it's job.

Possibly. Since every person with a uterus knows what oppression feels like the good ol USA, when their medical privacy and autonomy where stripped from them.

Sounds like OCD.

This seems disingenuous. You don't have to date anyone you don't want, and you don't have to be friends with anyone you don't want. Why did you decide that was the place to draw the line? You do not have to date Bob from accounting for any reason. But you also don't deserve a job along side Bob if you go on talking about how he doesn't deserve a place in our society.

Ones rights doesn't supercede anothers. You can be a Nazi in your own home, but once you start sprewing hate publicly you are infrining the freedoms of others. This is already the law. But people want to change this law, and are using transphobia to do so, in much the same way they use fear of pedophiles to errode your rights.(trans people harm kids, we must ban trans people to protect kids, is the essential arguement.)In essence You claim that if we stop trans-hate speech, we are losing our rights, but in reality those who are sprewing trans-hate are actively trying to remove your rights and just using transphobia as a means to an end.

Hate speech is always about removing freedoms and rights. Either through violence or legislation. If you want to talk about lines drawn: should we stop Bob from screaming "gas the Jews" in his own home? What about outside a synagogue? What about on the Senate floor? Which of these seems more of an infringement of a Jewish person's rights?
