  • Sounds like he’s done a lot of research and has kept an open mind. He’s also wise in suggesting to go into therapy and see if there may be other causes/co-causes.

    Anecdotal, but a friend of mine has ADHD and once she started treatment for that she also lost like 95% of her feelings of dysphoria and decided to postpone transitioning until she could figure her shit out a bit more.

    Years later she’s decided she’s fine as she is and saved herself shittons of money and physical suffering with no real drawback.

    It’s important not to be emotionally attached to a diagnosis.






  • If you look back at her primary in 2020, she was.

    Hard to wash that off with some last minute recanting, like with fracking and other such campaign claims.

    Her hand was tipped as to her ideal term in office 4 years ago, I’m surprised Trump didn’t use that shit in attack ads given how much more stereotypically progressive she was then.

    Personally I called it in when a clip of hers saying “we’ve got to get woke” (not sure about the wording but the word woke was used positively) from some talk show aimed at black people from this year came out.

    You need to live in a parallel dimension to think that word is not absolutely fucking nuclear waste in the political discourse rn.

    The people who made the casting choice were told by Disney they couldn’t cast either, it was that or get replaced by someone else who would play ball.

    It’s ridiculous to expect them to remove themselves from a multimillion dollar project that would get done anyway with or without them.

    The only one of these that is remotely acceptable, to me, is Tilda Swindon, because they explicitly detached themselves from the character to avoid getting shat on by the CCP for casting a Tibetan and from Americans for casting a Chinese person.

    The others are all crap, IMO.

    Every time a character is <color>washed we lose the chance to be exposed to global actors that would fit their profile.


  • They did not say “do I enjoy it?” they said “Is it worth the effort?” and if having food made exactly to your taste is not worth the effort you either have no standards and would be fine with microwave slop and fast food, or you lack the skill to make something that satisfies you.

    Either way, skill issue.

    The one exception would be if you’re disabled or something, and I don’t mean “I have adhd” disabled, I mean “I physically can’t stand at the stove for 20-30 minites” disabled.
