Restrictions on Transgender Health Care Slipped into Senate's Must-Pass Defense Bill
  • Edit: Sorry for any spelling mistakes or grammar errors, I wrote this while tired, which causes me blurry vision.

    It's Transphobia, that's what it is, all of it. There's no logical reason to FIRST target this as a budget cut, like wtf.

    Within the past week or two, I've basically have been accepting the fact that I'm transgender, after literal years of questioning. It's shit like this that makes me want to closet myself back in. Why is it not normal for people to just simply have respect (human decency!) For people's varying sexualities and gender identities. It's not hurting anyone.

    It may be easily seen as entirely sexual, but it's really not, because that's really correlated to love, features of your body, etc. But there so much more to it than that. All of this is normal for human beings to do, it's only been thought of being normalized in recent years, and people are just now finding comfort in being open about it.

    I just want everyone to be able to (within reason) be comfortable, confident, and be open about who they love, what they feel about themselves, how they want to express themselves. And I don't mean making entire personalities about it (I think some of us have to be more involved about it, because we have to fight to exist), but not making or going out of your way to discomfort them.

    Let us live, in peace, please. We don't want to hurt anybody.

  • Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
  • Exactly. This is why I say people aren't just "smart", they're smart in certain topics, whether it'd be because they're interested in it, spent a lot of time learning about it, always have been around it/people doing the activity, or a combination.

    I don't like going out there and calling my self smart, can make people seek like assholes, but I'm genuinely interested on computer hardware. Now I don't know shit compared to someone with a full career working at a tech giant, manufacturing or even designing some of the hardware, but I get a slight guts of it, and it allows me to trouble shoot stuff, know what to look for, how to search for the solution to the problem, etc..

    I'm the IT guy in my house, I get it that not everyone can work technology like I do, and that's okay. We each have our own niche. My younger 16yr old brother doesnt know even some of the basic stuff in technology, practically tech illiterate, but he know so much about cars. He can take just a few seconds to look at pretty much any vehicle and tell you what it is, what engine it probably has and other stuff.

    I'm stupid and completely illiterate when it comes to cars, knowing how exactly they work.
