then why wasn't Miriam or Mary used as the example?

Love to see everyone here cheering the destruction of the humanities in the name of cutting federal spending. Y'all do realize how that's going to play out, right? A less educated population who will be even more prone to fascism.

Government spends all kinds of money that doesn't have an immediate and obvious RoI and often in ways that people are fine with (the military, the massive corruption of the current US executive branch, brutal immigration enforcement). Yet, letting people better their lives in the ways they want to gets people here riled up.

The whole system needs reworking, because capitalism, but there's no reason the US can't have universal university education, just like there's no reason we can't have universal health care, other than the complete lack of willpower and the complete capitulation to capital.

It is also possible to walk away from tech. To stop chasing the demands of anything for a buck and focus on something real.

"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment."

Perhaps because being trans is not well supported and accepted in many societies, even the ones that may have legal protections for trans people (which is, in itself and indicator of a lack of acceptance - there wouldn't be a need for laws protecting housing, for example, if there wasn't discrimination).

Therefore there is a continuing need for mental health support.

What is with the recent uptick in anti-transness on this site?

at the highest levels are the most rigorous standards and testing. this is where it makes the most sense to allow trans athletes to. compete. trans women who have been on hormone replacement do not have an advantage over cis women. this is discrimination plain and simple and creates an atmosphere of misunderstanding, mistrust, and misinformation towards trans people (which incidentally also affects non-gender-conforming cis women).

Trump doesn't care about the results in Iran. He's getting richer through graft while making himself look big. He's pathetic and we're all paying the price in one way or another.

Just wait until the governments start really coming after the people they don't like based on their internet usage. We're already seeing this in the US around social media profiling. States have tried to associate queerness with sex (rather than existence) in ways that will lead to restricting queer content.

if you're giving up that easily, you're just a troll

the GOP produced him and the Christian xenophobic anti-everyone policies have been a 50 year project that's now coming to fruition. Trump is bad and so is the rest of the Republican party. this problem doesn't go away when he does.

use AI!

no! not that way!

Otherwise similarly situation people in the present are already being grouped together into categories and treated differently...undoing that is the work that needs doing.

Have you been paying attention to who the US elected and the people who elected him? They definitely deny systemic racism and are here for ICE targeting non-white people.

In order to bring people together, it's necessary to acknowledge the harms that have been caused. That is part of repair and trust building. Germany had war crimes trials. South Africa had truth & reconciliation. The US can't paper over the ways in which marginalized populations have been harmed, especially since large parts of the country either don't believe harm has been caused or activity endeavor to perpetuate that harm.
