    I think, for the most part, trans kids would be helped by their local community, or at least tolerated and included. It’s the propaganda and politicization to whip the small minded folk into a frenzy where it has become this national/international pure hate and fear fest. Inclusion and respect for all!

    I will not likely show up much in history… but if my personal data somehow survives to be analyzed meaningfully in in such a future context, they will see that I was not part of the problem.

  • Bullshit. We’ve got climate disaster, oil shortages and soon food shortages. The air is unbreathable and the water undrinkable. Everything is full of microplastics and we are exterminating entire ecosystem.

    After it all falls apart, and a new civilization rises from the ashes, no one will even know or care.

    In a thousand year it won’t even be a foot note in history.

    I’ll be down voted into oblivion, but that won’t change the brutal reality of life.

        TBF transphobia is a psyop/wedge-issue specifically engineered to distract conservative voters from everything mentioned in the comment above.

        Like yes they’re being an insufferable dick about it. But like MMW Americans are months, not years, away from famine and drought. Pollinator levels are plummeting. Precipitation patterns are shifting drastically. Meteorologists are shitting their pants over weather phenomena never recorded before and/or not seen in over a century.

        I can’t prove he’s not just taking the opportunity to punch down… He may be an asshole but he is not full of shit here. We could save millions of lives by sounding the alarms now and taking steps in our local communities.

        Not commenting to defend him so much as to sound the alarm.

        Learn to garden. Stockpile seeds. Learn about water collection and sanitation. Use the resources we have while we still have them!

        The future is fucked

    • I’ll be down voted into oblivion, but that won’t change the brutal reality of life.

      Oh, you’re one of those “Just being brutally honest” people.

      To save you any confusion, the “down voted to oblivion” part is related to your piss-poor attitude and absence of empathy, and not the objective state of things.
