To be fair that means they’d be making money without spez’s 193 million salary. https://fortune.com/2024/03/19/reddit-ceo-steve-huffman-defends-193-million-compensation-following-backlash-unpaid-moderators/

Read your own damn study. You are selectively omitting the words right before "of the 139 participants "

"Sexual orientation was ascertained for both fantasy and behavior and then dichotomized as either biphilic/androphilic or gynephilic. Of the 139 participants, 17 (12.2%) were classified as persisters and the remaining 122 (87.8%) were classified as desisters. Data on sexual orientation in fantasy were available for 129 participants:… "

Right off the bat that study is about sexual identity, ie- sexual preferences, not gender identity ie who one is.

And the are much better studies that are far more comprehensive

“found an overall rate of 1 percent for regret after surgery for both transmasculine and transfeminine surgeries.” https://slate.com/technology/2024/02/transgender-youth-health-care-regret-pamela-paul-nyt-data.html

With a 1% regret rate it is not something that trans people have an issue with. You can count on one hand the number of trans individuals that have gone back permanently. Also puberty blockers are completely reversible, it’s not until months on the actual hormones that people start getting permanent changes. And even then that isn’t that irreversible.

Yuuuuup and it was the only one they could pass because of the one seat majority Joe Lieberman afforded them and he was bought out, the original Kristen Sinema.

Still saved a lot of lives and still infinitely better than what was before it.

Obama changed Healthcare forever he gave me the Healthcare that saved my life literally, again trans. His hope and change was a step forward. But you don’t sound old enough to remember what it was like before that. And he was betrayed out of his congressional power immediately after by Joe Lieberman.

I know his troubled history, I’m trans, I’m a socialist. I do not believe there is any other way for me to survive without a Biden win, and black people in South Carolina overwhelmingly put Biden in charge of the democratic party over Bernie Sanders and I respect that choice because he was there to uphold Obama’s legacy.

Nope, politics is won by messaging. By constantly hand wringing about flaws your echoing his critics material. We all know his weaknesses, echoing them over and over only weakens the messaging.

Point is your just echoing the criticisms, which undermines his strength as a politician even if he isn’t anyones favorite, he’s still a good Democrat who is old school pro union, which is honestly more beneficial and fundamental to democratic power than anything.

Nah I’ve got you tagged for this too. Biden has to be supported at this point, my life and many others are absolutely on the line. Defeating trump, trumps any and all concerns about Biden.

It wasn’t in the pertinent message when you could be misconstrued. You only clarified your position after you started getting downvotes

Learn to put proper antecedents in if you don’t want to be misunderstood.

“These ones do, the problem could be solved easily enough with separate locker rooms.”

That could just have been as left vague as you could word it to both insult while maintaining plausible deniability that you didn’t intend to insult.

That’s a whole lot of words to use to say just to say use the men’s room and the answer is no. We are women we’re entitled to be with women. We need the same or more protection from men that other women do.

Because it’s insisting on a distinction when there is none. Anatomy doesn’t make the woman dude.

But why seperate, why differentiate just to alienate a kid trying to live out their lives?

The vast majority of women don’t mind. And you don’t speak for us or get to decide if women and trans women are on different sides about anything. Because we literally are women.

That’s not reasonable it’s just a new form of segregation. Stating that we (trans women) are both equal to women but seperate which has been ruled unconstitutional and discriminatory.

It’s very easy to resolve, most kids that participate in sports are themselves (shockingly) also kids and will not have gained any advantage if allowed to transition early enough. Even a year or two of puberty is going to shed away very quickly.

(And leave us older trans people who are no longer teenagers who might have gone through a full puberty to have that advantage not participate in sports, and leave kids alone to transition and participate in their chosen gender.)

Either way this is a problem that resolves itself if trans people are allowed to accept and be themselves when they figure it out, which would be a lot more possible if people actually took the time to understand us.

Also genetic advantages like Micheal Phelp’s lungs and body have always been a part of sports. So if we happen to want to play sports we’re still women playing sports with a genetic disadvantage in every way that matters to us like having babies. (sports are the last thing on most of our minds)

Either way stop making trans people the center of your political battles. We just want to live without you fucking up our lives. We aren’t anything that matters to the vast majority of instances. We are the rare exception. Go figure out that they’d rather you argue about us than about the actual issues like health care, abortion, union rights, civil rights, etc.

Any vote that does not prevent Trump from being president is a vote for a Trump/Putin collaborator.
