@japan_nobunaga I like warmer weather and nothing about their bigger cities appeals to me. I often go to Japan many times a year where it is cold but the safety and calmness of the country outweighs the cold.

@japan_nobunaga I know of people who will go to a restaurant like this, eat two baskets of bread and glasses of water, use the wifi then decide they don't want anything on the menu, leaving without paying anything.
@libsoftiktok You are not angry enough.

@HayWWEGOAT@critman_critics With him winning Ludwig is officially dead, he is El Grande Americano and should only be referred to as such going forward.
@CowMFM@Wrestle_G They care in spurts - cared about tag teams on SD just a few years ago having the ladder match, Bar/Shield/Wyatt's, New Day/Usos, NXT last year Hank/Tank, NXT Creeds/GYV. Then they just drop off until some thinks it should hot again.
I’m sure you all remember Avery Jackson, the “trans girl” who, at 9, was on the cover of National Geographic in January of 2017. Avery was given the gold standard in gender affirming care: he was chemically castrated and sterilized with “blockers” to hold off male puberty.
Now Avery has come out as “nonbinary” and chosen not to pursue transition, meaning that his puberty was blocked for no reason — but that’s not the worst part. He also identifies as asexual, meaning that he doesn’t experience sexual attraction.
This is undoubtedly the result of the medication used to delay male puberty. The president of WPATH, Dr, “Marci” Bowers, has said on camera that so-called puberty blockers, which are used to chemically castrate sex offenders, chemically castrate the young boys who take them as well, leaving them incapable of arousal or orgasm.
For adult sex offenders, the process is reversible. For boys like Avery, the effects are permanent. He will never feel sexual attraction, or any of the experiences that accompany it. He is also completely sterile; he will never father a child, and his own childhood was spent in the national spotlight. The blockers he was given have also stunted his physical and mental development in irreversible ways. We know from the experiences of other “trans” children that he will never sexually mature - neither physically nor emotionally. All of these things were stolen from him, and he has said that transitioning “ruined my life.”
It’s high time that we stop pretending that children can make an informed decision to transition or take blockers, even if their doctors are honest about the risks and consequences — which most are not.
Blockers are not a pause button. They are not reversible. The intellectual deficits they cause will never repair themselves, and neither will the damage done to the child victim’s body, or to their emotional intelligence and maturity. This will, of course, make it easier to push them into transitioning; ie, to sell them hormones and provide surgical alterations.
Parents like Avery’s, who try to monetize their child’s struggles with gender identity, belong in prison, not on television, and so do the doctors and politicians who were complicit in his chemical castration and sterilization.
