@fishguy.bsky.social you should know, I've nicknamed your scanner Mushu because I saw this and all I could hear, in my head, was Eddie Murphy's voice going, "Look, you got data! And it's happy to see you."

This is very very cool and opens up options for treatment in cases like my mom's (and to a lesser degree, probably mine, though I don't have a formal Dx) because she could not tolerate hormones. She had to stop birth control due to it paralyzing half her body temporarily.

No enemy has infinite resources. Not even the US government. If resistance is widespread, at multiple levels, your enemy will achieve fewer things, at higher cost and more slowly. Resistance over here means they have to shift focus from over there, taking pressure off other resistance groups.

Moderate democrats thrive on the status quo. Trump is a bogey man they use to keep us from pushing for more. And when they are in power, they employ some of the same policies and face 0 resitence bc well, at least they aren't Cheeto Hitler. Sentiments like this show me how well that strategy works.
