Is that shirt real? I need one.

so... how much did does the us government give its auto industry?

They gave us auto companies 81 billion between 2008 and 2014, and continue to subsidize the industry to this day.

• [CW: Weapons/Firearms]

I'd say its a moderation issue, but I also think its unwise to remove otherwise fine content on a community with so little of it.

This largely needs to be a cultural shift. If you want to see more CWs, post frequently with them used appropriately to set an example.

This is a transcript of a meeting. Those are words that trump did say, but this screenshot is cropped deliberately to hide that fact.

This is one of the typical lies that trump is known to make in speeches. This isn't a whitehouse staff member publishing those words as a written statement the office stands behind.

Dysphoria doesn't feel like dysphoria if you've expierenced it your entire life. Instead it just feels normal.

If you're thinking about transitioning, don't be deterred if you don't feel actively distressed by your current apparent gender. Dysphoria can be crippling for some, and subtle for others.

It wasn't until I started HRT that I learned what it really felt like to feel fine. Only then did I realize how not fine I was before.

I am experiencing this as well. I'm few months into HRT and its had a remarkable effect on my mood, and that changes a ton.

I still lack some amount of self reflection, as I didn't notice this change until reading your post. Making your brain comfy has some very far reaching effects.

Weird right wingers kept going on about trans people, and I wanted to be informed about it and learned a few things about myself in the process.

I genuinely had no idea for most of my life. The signs were there all along but only in retrospect. It took me 2-3 years of questioning before I started transitioning. I was not ever truly certain I was trans until I started HRT, and everything started to feel fine, like genuinely fine. Didn't realize I was depressed from dysphoria my entire life because I had no point of comparison.

I certainly envy the trans people who were able to learn they were trans at an early age. The best time to transition is just before the start of puberty, the second best time is now.

it would be, but they are the minority party in the federal legislature. They can't do the things you're suggesting on their own. Obstructionism is the best course of action. You're asking for things they literally can't do, instead of things they choose not to like normal.

FAA is run by the executive branch. They are subject to laws that have to pass the republican legislature. Not a reasonable option at this point unless republicans start to turn on musk.

Those who could craft or enforce laws against musk right now are the states. If a state could charge musk with a crime and arrest him for it it could stick. The presidential pardon only extends to federal crimes.

The US did issue passports with an x gender marker. The first one was issued in 2021 after a lawsuit, and the option was on the official paperwork in 2022. Most would usually advise against doing so as many countries do not recognize the X gender, and would deny entry as a result. Be aware of where you want to travel and that those countries are accepting before you commit to the X marker.

That was before the newest administration. It remains to be seen how things will play out in future as many executive orders will be blocked in the courts. Executive orders are the lowest tier federal legislation, overruled by nearly everything else.

no, no I can't

I AM MOVING FROM LEMMY.WORLD!!

It is my pleasure to announce that effective immediately, I am transitioning my account to lemmy.blahaj.zone! This has been a few months in the making, so my entire self is already onboard.

FAQ:
Why?
That's a complicated question with a long answer! The primary reason is ideological similarities between me and Ada's excellent team of admins. I am on good terms with Ada and her team, and have gotten her consent to do this.

How does this work?
Currently, as there is not an easy way to transfer an entire account (trust me, I checked), so I am logging out of the old account, and moving my focus to the hildegarde on lemmy.blahaj.zone. For you guys, functionally nothing has changed.

What about the posts?
Well, I tried to transfer them, but there was no real way to do so without absolutely destroying my brain's sanity. For this reason, I am simply ignoring the old account. Everything is staying up. Direct messages are still enabled, but I'm not going to read them or anything.
