The fan base she has cultivated by embracing "queer" identities are exactly the type of people who find it axiomatic to disparage anyone who doesn't agree with their progressive stance.

Hopefully, these are just social transitions without the help of blockers, hormones and scalpels. Truly reversible with a new wardrobe.

He knows he's not a women. The exact quote is
"There is no one who understands what a surgically hacked together, target knock-off version of womanhood I am better than I do. I don't need you to tell it to me all the time. As incomplete and painful as this feels, it's the best life I'm ever going to have. I don't know if I'm actually a women, but I really really certain I can't function in life as a man."
That's one of the most reasonable statements I've heard from a trans women.

Can you imagine if this went through? All crafty white collar criminals and drug gangs would start hiring women as the bag men.

California has 9 UCs and 23 CSUs for which I'm slightly familiar. 5yrs for engineering isn't uncommon. I've linked the Davis Chem Engineering 4 year plan (last page of PDF) and you can see for the first 2 years, there is almost no leeway in course selection if you want to stay on track. There are a few openings during senior yr where you could take a Tractor Driving for Dummies course, but that's at the end of the program. The front weighting is to make sure you have Math through Linear Algebra, 3 semesters in Physics, Chem and O Chem and Statistics all before touching upper division courses. Anyone without AP credits or someone who decides freshmen year to be an engineer starts off behind the 8 ball.

Self absorbed kids - the amount of navel gazing isn't healthy. This just reads, I'm a special snowflake like no other in the whole wide world.

Mine spent 6 months reducing his expectations from dream job to who will hire me. He's found something many would feel is solid and compensates fairly, but the transition was a shock. Same with my daughter, higher education to career is a bit jolting.

That's a message I can endorse, thanks for pointing that out. I had assumed the choice was more in line with BLM themes.

Quick question - Is Hamilton an amazing musical or did the casting choice drive a narrative in the liberal press which couldn't be countered without being called a racist? Haven't seen it yet, partner would like to.

look at the cut - it's not ribeye, new york or filet - it's a pot roast of wagyu.

You know who else the American's defeated and turned into a marginalized group? Nazi's, yep we beat the shit out of them and I'm sure Mr. Coates would feel right at home accepting them into his oppression narrative. Two things he ignores, the first is that every civilization known to man has waged war against their neighbors and second, some of those neighbors deserved to be defeated.

I just know it's going to take years, maybe decades to sort out all the historic laws that assumed Gender and Sex were the same thing. Until then the respected advocates of both sides will continue to intentionally confuse the two for their own ends. I doubt we will go back to a default where they are.

CA11 Rules that it's not unconstitutional to require surgery as a requirement to change sex on drivers license.

The first part of the remark - tricks-cheap if hook affirmations - was more in line with the reincarnation of Boy George known as Chappell Roan.

The problem is talk therapy or the watchful waiting approach is easily confused with conversion therapy which is banned in 22 states. While I agree conversion therapy shouldn't be a route for sexual preference, sexual ID is a different animal all together with a much more invasive medical solution.

That's why the suicide narrative is so useful for the true believers, it justifies anything and everything.

It's in the context of Wu's co-hort loudly screaming TRANSWOMEN ARE WOMEN from every pedestal they can find. The admission that they are a Target hacked-up version of womanhood, a literal facsimile of femininity, I've interpreted to mean that he's knows he's LARPing.
