In the US your doctor makes a profit on a lifetime of treatment for trans patients, and thus certain ethical considerations *may* not get the emphasis they deserve. In countries with what you’d call single-payer the pressures on ethics are not the same.

Recently several European health authorities—including those in the UK (via the Cass Review), Sweden, Finland, and Norway—conducted systematic evidence reviews. They concluded that the evidence base for prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors is low-quality and uncertain. 1/2

That much is obvious. It’s “how?” that she failed to convey. Is she afraid to tell us what he accused her of?

I can’t be sure what she’s talking about. I get that she’s angry, but this is poor communication. How about telling us what happened in order, calmly?

Don’t exaggerate. There are immigrant problems: • They can’t work for over 6 months. (Could you survive 6 months upaid?) • The amount of processing for each person is inflated unnecessarily (No real threat would tell the truth anyway). Just take/check biometrics and let them in.

I’d rather have Universal Basic Income for billions than AI working for billionaires. Without UBI, as AI takes the jobs, entire industries that rely on working people having income will collapse and the economy will implode. Billions will starve.

A lot of attention has been given to the “Free Pussy” message that was sent, but that’s the message campus police systems that protect perpetrators instead of victims send all the time. Abolish campus accessories after the fact.

Yes, but relying on ”boys will be boys“ sanitizes sexual violence as mere juvenile misconduct, as if it’s just another mistake we learn from when we’re young. They’re taught they can get away with it and that they’re superior because they’re male 1st, white 2nd.

#47 has been actively working at ensuring he doesn’t have to leave power. Generals removed. Civil service and Federal law enforcement corrupted. Inspectors General removed so there’s no oversight of these changes. Powers transferred from Congress. Please tell me “Who will remove him in 2029?”

Here @apnews.com I fixed this headline for you. He didn't use a "rare authority" he violated the constitution. You're blatantly buying into administration talking points by saying he has "authority" to just decide not to spend Congressionally approved funds at the last minute

One of the obvious causes is sexism. It leads to the arrogance and dehumanisation, and it doesn’t just remain in college administrations. It’s actively spread by some industries.
