Hard to say, frankly the GOP at this point is full of psychos so even if they struck some sort of deal there's no guarantee it wouldn't be sabotaged internally, by the Trump administration or otherwise. Meanwhile the Trump administration likely wasn't reducing air traffic enough for people to be safe. Yes they cancelled lots and lots of flights, but I doubt it was enough. My stepfather was an air traffic controller. He would never say anything to us because his job stressed him out too much to talk to anyone after work. So I don't know how we haven't had a major plane crash when they haven't been paid in several weeks. Even so, Chuck Shumer failed to get his party in line enough for it to matter, I think I would still prefer them to fight but it is what it is. Very difficult calculus though when you think about possible plane crashes...

Thing is that you can often find food if you look hard enough (not always), but it's only going to get worse. It will definitely negatively affect society. People are just going further into debt, going to churches, scrapping coupons together etc.

Oh I was being mild. Every year before SRS I was turning over suicide plans in my head like making pancakes every morning. My anatomy was draining my will to live and ever since I had it done I haven't considered suicide a single time. I have half the self hatred I had before, and most of that turned into giggly perplexion that so many people seem to think conversion therapy works. It's probably because I'm not offering enough femininity to them which is why I made my pancakes analogy.

It's indisputable that there is at least a small portion of people who were swept up in the transgender craze who would later regret it but given that there are still strong priorities for the body to preserve itself and not undergo such drastic surgeries..and the amount of hate you will quickly run into, most of the "transtrenders" will stop before they get too far into transitioning. Since as I alluded to before it's not a 4 hour process....

There is also a huge variance in the way people dress. I still pretty much wear androgynous clothing with only some slight "feminine" accessories being added on from time to time It can be a lose lose scenario with clothes and presentation. Try too hard to be femme and people say you're adopting stereotypes about women too much. Don't try hard enough and people don't take your feminine identity seriously and say you're not committed. They just find any workaround to try to insult you since you broke their brain a little too much.

I was already having negative psychosomatic symptoms from having a penis at 5 years old , I think I'm good. I don't miss it at all Some critical developmental milestones to masculinize my brain were already missed and I can't go back in time. Medical science couldn't fix the R424X mutation in the KAL1 gene then and it can't now. I'm pretty sure we're talking in circles though. The rest of your post is accurate, the stuff about both men and women having masculinity and femininity within them.

Why do you need his opinion so bad

I have an intersex-adjacent genetic disorder and something like free will. So, honoring the body for the function it's supposed to do would involve getting osteoporosis by age 30 from my HPG axis malfunctioning, having tiny small genitalia, and grimacing every time I look at the male genitalia since my brain didn't fully masculinize. Along with being a frail male like eunuch w/ almost no happiness. Oh I thought along these lines for years and years, you can't ever change your biological sex, you'll always have XY chromosomes so youre always male. But it just isn't true, if you put your soul in the oven long enough it'll manifest changes for your body, for your "biological sex", given enough time and effort. Leo isn't wrong but my point is just that society will already do much of the "thinking" for you in terms of "is it okay to be transgender".

No need to mutilate your keyboard by using it to invoke misogyny, to suggest that male to female SRS is inherently a downgrade.

Yes and no. Changing hormones and getting SRS rewrites your brain so you can become a new person, but you have to put effort in it to facilitate this. I do not feel like the same person, I feel like I was born figuratively after SRS so I'm only 8 years old........ Don't underestimate either one, when you change genitals your body is forced to start rewriting its self concept if it didn't already. There was a recent study indicating how HRT changes many protein functions in your body to change aspects of your biological sex.

Transitioning can take like 3-10 years to do it well. I thought it would take two years to do a gender transition instead it took me 10. Not the 4 hour time frame that Fox News says Then you get under fire by society because it's rare that there's an ideal time to be trans since you took too long. Right wing propaganda is more harmful than left wing propaganda because if left wing propaganda is wrong you'll usually get bored of transitioning after it takes too long. If right wing propaganda is wrong you wasted your life because you were brainwashed to believe there aren't variances in gender identity. As usual right wing propaganda is worse. When I switched hormones I immediately became less suicidal but I still wanted to be fair to both sides, then you realize the right doesn't give a shit if you try to be fair and balanced. The clock is always ticking so it was better for me to just dive head first into the process

This post made me want to take a nap..

I expect to see this type of post on Reddit, not here.
