I will forever think it’s pretty fucking funny that the only thing Musk had to do to retain his popularity was absolutely fucking nothing. Doing nothing is too hard for this silver spoon coward.

It’s been made clear time and time again

Please cite examples. This entire post is disproving this already.

To point this out is not “ragebaiting” and that’s completely absurd that you would even claim that.

It’s absurd to come in here, throw around vague accusations, and then do absolutely no work to back up those claims.

There are already more viewpoints being expressed within respondents to this post than in typical reddit front page subs. I’m sorry but it is not good faith to start name calling. I feel like you know that, though.

I’m confused as to why you’d post such a reddit-esque bait statement when so many of the responses are civil, patient, and respectfully explaining viewpoints without attacking OP. Don’t you think discourse can be better than that? Don’t you want to at least give it a chance?

Hi there. I’m trans. It wasn’t up to me. I didn’t choose to be. Life would be way easier if I wasn’t. I’m dealing with it as best I can so I can live my life. An entire political party is currently putting money and energy behind denying me healthcare. I’m an adult. I’m at a point where I can’t make hormones on my own but that doesn’t matter to them. The dysphoria I was experiencing prior to transitioning was straight up not compatible with continuing to live. You don’t even have to take my word for it - several doctors at different agencies agreed enough to write letters for me to start care. It is disingenuous to look at how conservatives are trying to, at best, make me very sick on a daily basis, or are, at worst, trying to put me in the ground and say “yeah, this is just as bad as the left’s typical talking points.”

If I were a cis person who couldn’t synthesize my own hormones for whatever reason, there would be nothing stopping me from getting this exact. Same. Treatment. These things don’t happen by accident. They happen because the hate is there to open the door and a lot of self-proclaimed “good” folks are real happy to watch it go down.

How do you reconcile with such an insanely disjointed false equivalency? Honest question.
