The flip side of this is that it has to be praiseworthy to pass through that gauntlet and still care about other people. Eclusively negative incentives don't work.
Have ADHD, picking up a pencil intermittently when we have the executive function. Shit's harder for us but come on.
We'd mind a lot less if people treated it like getting a commission. Sure, it's cool that there's art of your character, but you didn't do the drawing, you just gave some specifics.
On priors, you're talking about the Cass report, which was in fact massively flawed, and I saw a great deal of discussion on it. Among other issues, they tossed out a lot of studies, and wrote the report from the stance that the only studies worth looking at would have been double blind studies. I'm not sure if you've considered this specifically, but it's pretty damn hard to blind starting to grow boobs or facial hair. Cass, the supposedly neutral party conducting the study, was handing out copies of "Irreversible Damage", a scaremongering antitrans book about how the poor helpless young "women" were being seduced by big trans. It was garbage, and there's plenty of writeups on it.

If they can't afford to maintain it in a changing world, perhaps we should nationalize the infrastructure that we all depend on.
Every nominee must have a full and competitive primary every single cycle, regardless of incumbency.
What happens if a given seat doesn't actually have primary competitors? Do we just assign someone by lottery?
Endemic is not an improvement on the situation. It's just an acknowledgement that we were inadequate to deal with it when it was reasonably possible, and are giving up now. I don't leave the house without a P100, because my species appears to be insane.
If someone is in prison, IE, in the care of the state, and unable to choose their own paths, the state is therefore responsible for that person's well-being. In other words, the state is morally mandated to give that person food, medical care, etc.
If you don't want inmates "receiving better coverage and health care than a law-abiding citizen", fucking get law-abiding citizens, you dicksneeze!
I wear a P100 because I can't trust my fellow Americans to wear so much as a scarf.
Cue anyone sane: "Well-regulated."

Turns out?
Terrorizing not so hot as a governing method.
Can we try helping everyone instead? Say for like, five generations. That's not much, we've certainly been doing variations of terror for at least that long.
