@sam_d_1995 The taxi lobby in Vegas won't allow subways, airport monorail connection, or any other useful public transportation options to exist. You're not thinking clearly if you think this will only ever be used for personal cars.
@fallenparx Dysphoria isn't as normal feeling, if simply dressing differently relieves that feeling then they're treating the dysphoria. Your last sentence sounds like you think dysphoria itself isn't necessarily distressing, but dysphoria is defined as a a state of unease.
@fallenparx Then what's the difference between someone who calls themselves transgender but doesn't experience dysphoria, and a tomboy eg?
You opened what I think it's an interesting discussion, but it's fine to leave it.
@fallenparx Everything I've said has been in line with WPATH, including dysphoria being a spectrum where treatments are adjusted accordingly. So I'm still not sure how I contradicted myself or said anything disagreeable at all, frankly.
@fallenparx The system does so because gender and sex matching is the typical, undistressed order. Treatment is a spectrum, some people's disorder isn't as severe, but it's still treated because it's a disordered state that causes distress.
@fallenparx Gender must be based on sex for transgenderism to exist. If not, there's no need for sex alterations, puberty blockers, etc as part of gender affirming care.
@fallenparx Gender is based on sex. If your gender doesn't match your sex, you have a disorder that needs to be medically resolved so that it does. There is no choice. You can choose how you style yourself, but that has nothing to do with gender.
@theJoShPENNER@Ummmmichelle@UHC I used to manage cases for those with issues from working at the Nevada Test Site. We wrote the letters for patients to just get signed by their doctor because the language has to be so specific and doctors simply can not keep up, and they were happy to do it. It's insane.
@MattWalshBlog How insane do you have to be to think driving yourself across the country would be better than taking a train? 3+ days of staring at the road for 12 hours and sleeping in motels? Are you okay???
@MakeitRain478 @MrMoonMasters @LasVegasLocally@inferiorbowl Raise the wage to something liveable and appealing or take advantage of desperate illegal immigrants to do it cheaply under the table without protections. Which one are you arguing for exactly?
@GuitarGuyHaner@markeatsmeat Joel was a huge inspiration for my final regenerative ag project in college, I'd love to see him get involved!! Massie as well, though he's denied being formally offered anything yet.
