Uhh very easy in fact! Trans people aren't these rare and arcane creatures--you're talking to a bunch right now! I think it'd be best if you listened to what they have to say, rather engage in this sophistry. Like sure, thank you for bringing to our collective attention this study, as flawed as...

This definition is useless--garbage methodology. You're reducing the rich tapestry of queer identity and self-expression to a binary option? Let alone the most extreme option??? It's like asking people if they like their parents or think they should be summarily executed. I have no clue (beyond...

I think that's the joke

it is in fact Patrick McHenry :lol: "give me McSpeakership or give me McDeath!"

also the three cases are completely separate in NY, GA, and FL. the mar-a-lago case I think is in the federal courts and the other two are in state ones.
