Fuck. Doing this sort of bullshit just makes it more likely Iran will return the "favour". And if there's one thing experts have been bluntly talking about for the last 2 decades security wise, civil infrastructure in the US is highly, highly vulnerable to attack.

Jesse Singal literally imagined an entirely fictional me, and then got furious at his own imagination.

Dr. Jonathan Howard says he does occasionally come across trans patients.
Imagine one of these patients in his office.
Imagine this patient asking him, a trusted, prestigious figure, if hormones are the right decision. Imagine this doctor thinking back to the abstract of one since mostly debunked paper and nodding, assuring this patient he is making the right choice. How can this not make you a little bit mad, this abuse of title and institution? How can it not make you a little bit mad that doctors who sit at the very top of society's hierarchy can spout off so confidently about matters they know so little about?

Deliberately attacking civilian infrastructure without apparent military value is a war crime. Shouldn't be surprising since America elected a war crimes advocate, who in his first term pardoned convicted war criminals, and in his second made the public champion of those war criminals SecDef.
