The avenues for trans kids is conversion therapy, or the dog-whistle "faith based counseling"; seen with the recent federal insurance ban on covering HRT but explicitly calling out conversion therapy coverage. A practice which is banned in several states but has been challenged by conservatives claiming that banning the torture of kids infringes on their "free speech"

He did such a wonderful job as Bernadette in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. For a 90s movie featuring a trans woman played by a cis man I was worried about it coming off badly when I first watched it, but it was anything but. He played Bernadette elegantly, with class & sass, & a real dimension of empathy.

100%. Feel like my dad was only suited for raising kids until they were 10, then absolutely refused to engage with us as teenagers or even adults

Used to tell my partner I wish I was gay to teach my parents a lesson in empathy... Wow did that backfire being trans & gay

I came out to him over christmas 2 years ago and that's the last time he's spoken to me. His last words to me before he read my letter were "Love you always"

Yeah, feels like a form of gish galloping

"Mr. Evrart is helping me find my gun."

The spells in Morrowind are so creative & fun too! Levitate & recall were my favorites.

I still think there are so many adults out there that wholeheartedly believe in the Just World Fallacy. It's honestly baffling how many people have a hard time accepting that things just happen to people without any moral value being assigned to them.

Highly recommend Colorado if people are seeking a blue state to move to in the US! The legal protections are some of the best, we have a super majority Democrat state government that's gotten even more left leaning under Trump, and there's tons of community for queer folks in Denver.

Agreed, I had a friend who every time it came up talked about how much he hated Taylor Swift. I kept trying to press him about what he didn't like about her, like the music, or the tours, or whatever.

And at the bottom of it he just didn't like the idea of a woman with wealth and power equal to her peers in the music industry

Had to stay at home with parents during COVID quarantine w/ Fox News on almost 24/7, you're absolutely right. Also the "token democrat" is so biased to agree with soft conservative points, it's frustrating how many people fall for that trick.
