I think it's a problem to give kids hormones that fuck up their development before puberty but if you look at /lgbt/ there are a lot of people who are pretty fucked up about not receiving them too. I don't think there's really a good solution here. Honestly trans people are so few and far between I think we're better off focusing on business regulation or clean energy or something that actually applies to most people and affects our quality of life.

It's a real mental illness. I kind of believe that gender affirming care is a good solution, but there aren't many studies that show the effectiveness of surgery. Makes you ponder.

So in this unique case, lower-class Europeans get treated with respect and basic decency, while the lower-class Americans get totally fucked. Shocker.

What. Why? Who gives a shit about that?

Honest question for the fedoranerds ITT: how do you explain the most basic structural elements of existence? Sure you can imagine life arising from chemicals, and chemicals from particles, but how do you explain the reason for "dimensions" existing as a concept? Or mass? Or information? Or meaning? How are these things defined, what are they based on, what do they arise from?
It's a difficult question to word because it's talking about some of the most basic intrinsic elements of existence, so tell me if it's not clear. I just feel like at some point you need to acknowledge that there's a thing we can't encompass, a causal beginning, a basic set of rules and definitions, whatever. Then, as Thomas of Aquinas said, "that thing is what we call God."
