Did you watch the video friend? No exaggeration needed, that’s literally what she says lol.

Nation.

Did you forget that executive order that Trump signed?

The trans who don’t take hormones won’t pass for their desired gender lol

My first speeding ticket was before I started testosterone. The officer wrote male. My drivers license still said female.

I do shots, once a week. Started every other week. No deleterious medical effects over the past ten or so years, barring some issues with high blood cell count, which is fairly easy to manage/eliminate. I do it myself - I’m shit at z-tracking but eh, must not be fucking it up too much. Just to give you a data point, because you seem ignorant about trans people in general and I’m glad to educate.

In a military context I can imagine it would be problematic to give oneself injections, but there are gels and the pellets. Estrogen is a pill, can also be injected. But the thing is, you can go without hormones and it’s survivable. Testosterone shortages have been a routine issue forever. It’s not like having to skip a week detranses you.

I’m not questioning your knowledge of the military - I am questioning your knowledge of medicine.

Didja know that not all trans people take hormones? Also, they aren’t always in pill form - your comments so far seem to indicate that you have absolutely no idea how trans medical care works. T can even be in pellets which you take every few months.

People who are on medications can join the military. I imagine someone with medical qualifications in endocrinology would be the person to make that call.

The military allowed trans people under Obama and Biden with no issues.

Maybe don’t talk about issues you know nothing about?

I have zero regrets about my transition. It really sucks that the place I live treats me as a second class citizen for being transgender, but that is on them and not me.

Your comments about trans medical care reveal a profound ignorance which isn’t worth engaging with. You aren’t a doctor, and your opinions on endocrinology are probably worth as much as bathroom graffiti. Your opening paragraph is a bunch of stupid, hysterical non sequiturs with no relevance to the current conversation.

Try again.

Because we aren’t supposed to exist.

That’s why the rhetoric is so focused on kids. You torture/conversion therapy/get them to Jill themselves, then act like being trans is a “phase” or “fad” or mental illness or ploy to molest girls. There aren’t supposed to be “real” trans adults.

Friend of JK Rowling and coiner of the term “adult human female” thinks armed men belong in women’s restrooms.

Are they actually taking anyone though? Everywhere I’ve looked has been like “the us isn’t actively killing LGBT people, so we don’t count it as refugee.”

I also just simply do not have the liquid resources. I can sell some stuff - but what then? Sleep on the streets in a country I’ve never lived in before? I guess people cross the Darien gap, but I’m also just physiologically broken now. My nervous system doesn’t work correctly - I have experienced actual torture. I can’t organize a plan to finish my graduate degree, much less get across a National border.

I really want to keep my books. I love my books and leaving them behind would feel like death. I’ve thought about Costa Rica or a few other places. The cost of the plane ticket is unrealistic; the likelihood of getting the books over is doubtful.

I’ve realized that I probably won’t survive this administration, and I’m just going to go down fighting. I lost everything I care about, and the least I can do is try to make it so no one lives a life like mine again.

As a transgender man who served 3 of my 4 years of my TEACH grant before my state made it defacto if not de jure illegal to be a transgender teacher -

I’m fucked lol. I’m just going to have to work under the table the rest of my life. My billionaire ex managed to dump his credit card debt on me, so I’m fucked hopelessly. It’s entirely legal to fire me for being trans in any job. Doesn’t matter whether it’s cleaning vomit after a basketball game or working at a group home - my uterus renders me a non human.

If I do lose my apartment, I’ll make the news in the best way I can though.

I have been begging anyone to pay attention for more than 9 months. No one cares. I have called every single state agency about this place. I thought having photographic evidence and a recent account would be enough, but nope! They killed a kid in 2003 and the state covered up for them then, so they really just don’t give a shit.

Fun story! I reported the physical assault of a disabled child, which the mother had photos of multiple bruises, that happened at a Troubled Teen facility in Oklahoma City. DHS is refusing to investigate.

You can rape kids, you can beat kids, just don’t be a removed.

Reddit will tighten verification to keep out human-like AI bots collect and sell as much data on its users as possible

A big problem is that we stopped teaching phonics. School districts spent hundreds of thousands on a terrible curriculum (and this model of teaching reading had already been tried and showed not to work in the 70’s). Teachers were forced to use this shitty “whole reading” model.

The other big problem is that high school English classes don’t have students read entire books anymore. They read short passages with multiple choice questions, because that’s what the standardized tests have. When you think about what media literacy is - that’s what the point of reading books in English class is! Thinking about the point and purpose of long texts!

FAFSA calculations have been bullshit for years.

“Oh, your family was extremely abusive and they aren’t giving you a dime? Well, your stepfather still makes too much for you to get anything other than unsubsidized loans.”

Like, fuck, my mom stole thousands of dollars from me. I should have had a negative EFC.

Honestly, what my divorce taught me is that the legal system is set up to protect rich white men from ever experiencing consequences. Obstructing the courts is a great strategy, because you can just draw things out until people give up.

Which is basically what this still is - Jones lost on default because he was refusing to provide evidence or follow the rules. But he’s still getting to opt out of the rules.

There’s a kid I work with that is going to end up stabbing me with a pencil. He’s gotten pretty close a few times.

The lab closet when I was teaching science might have worked. The stuff you let kids work with is as close to water as you can make it, but the stuff for demos could easily take out a Jason or a Freddy.

Hey - anyone remember when the Onion was going to buy Infowars, and the judge came up with an entirely bullshit reason to throw that out?
