Theyā€™ve been shoveled a constant level of jingoistic, bigoted fearmongering to distract from the gutting of our shared resourcesā€¦

Doubt they would see a 14yo trans kid as a ā€œchild.ā€ Or as a ā€œperson.ā€ So, like, its all good, right? :face_vomiting:

A child is someone under 18, as long as that person is in a group you can tolerate.

If that person is a white cishet male, itā€™s someone under 65.

Yes, but to be a ā€œchildā€, you have to be a ā€œpersonā€, soā€¦

And I lament that I canā€™t punch her in the nose. We all lament something, I guess.

There is some irony in that, though.

I have talked before about how I donā€™t have a GRC because when I tried it was a lot of work, then they turned down the application because I lost the evidence of my official transition date* when I had to escape Carlisle. I could never find the energy to try again after that.

It used to be illegal for most people to demand to see a GRC as well.

* I started transition a year earlier than that, but the gatekeepers want paperwork.
