Why did you transition, wrong answers only. I like trans dudes so much I wanted to donate my testicles. Imagine my disappointment when they said I couldn't give them to charity.

This is why I'm not on board with Newsom. That he took the time to praise a man who's responsible for the deaths of millions of queer people shows he's the worst kind of gutless, pandering faux-centrist. Dragging Trump on social media doesn't win you a free pass on this shit.

Yes! But canonically they're way too one dimensional. For one of my campaign settings I re-imagined them as a tragic fallen society that had thrown off the yoke of demonic evil and taken up a more shamanic religion. Gave them a chance to shine as possible allies.

To sum up life in Central #oregon in one encounter: stopped in the shopping center parking lot to let the openly pistol-carrying dude in full tactical gear cross the street in front of me. He flashed me a peace sign before continuing on into the local organic food store.

You can register AT your polling place! ID is wide-ranging, so if you’re not sure, bring what you can (digital bank statement or bills are fine!) and just show up. Poll workers want to help you vote.

1. I am raising the alarm: If you are a transgender adult, your care is under threat by President Trump. You should prepare for severe supply disruptions and policies that amount to potential bans. The latest CMS letter indicates an expansion to target adults. Subscribe to support my reporting.

So being #transgender, you get used to getting a hojillion pages of disclaimers/side effects every time you ask for medicine. Informed consent, sure. You know what they fail to include on that list?
