Friend is trying to convince me that One Nation voters aren't just racists because they're using them as a "protest vote" and I cannot take this seriously because Hanson has been like this since LAST CENTURY ffs.

It was never extreme for trans people to want to be treated like human beings in whatever spaces we entered. It did not go too far, and no amount of historical revisionism will make the simple request for equal access to safety in public spaces unreasonable.

I found taking the long acting ones helped with this, because then it's just the routine that you take them every morning, and you don't sit at your desk thinking "nah I don't really need these" (spoiler alert: yes I did)

Because my job can be a real bummer, when I am searching for instances of sexual violence among men in a defined group, you don't search for "sexual assault," you search for "hazing." We have euphemized language because we really, really don't want to address this in any real terms.

The reason every political campaign ad is like "I'm Bob Bobbington and I believe in goodness and happy. (Big cheesy smile at camera with family.)" is because they are targeted at undecided voters, and undecided voters are about as smart as toasters.
