For some more context, what kicked off the entire anti trans movement sentiment in the UK and brought it mainstream in the US and UK in early 2020 was ONE SINGLE person who felt misdiagnosed and de-transitioned 10 years in. They then tried to sue the Tavistock hospital, politicians closed the hospital temporarily then permanently, launched the cass report investigation alongside a temporary then permanent puberty blocker ban nation wide. Before that it was just crazy JKR japping and running her mouth but there was no widespread support for this in the way it was capitalized on for the last 4 years by the Republican Party and the Tories. Would it surprise anyone that over the course of the past few years we found out that the right and conservatives have bought detransitioners with lucrative deals to "speak out" against the "trans cult"? The way gender affirming care is treated as some form of detached and isolated medical practice with absolutely insane criteria is mental. As Op says, 1% regret rate on a medical procedure is hands down one of the best success rates in all of medicine, its a miracle. I dont know why it seems acceptable to some people to jeopardize the happiness and wellbeing of the 99% because of the chance someone could be in the 1%. I dont understand to begin with why we make sweeping regulations that stop treatment for EVERYONE when this is clearly, as with every other medical treatment a patient-doctor-(parent) situation that ought to be exclusively dealt with between those parties. The worst of it all is the hypocrisy, its all about "protecting the children" while causing irreversible, permanent damage to the bodies of children who are forced to go through the wrong puberty to protect 1% of them from potentially regretting their decisions ten years down the line. Its about "protecting the children" and "they shouldnt be able to get any gender affirming care of operations", while entirely ignoring the vast amount of teens that get various operations, breast reductions, breast enlargements, or cosmetic surgeries. While ignoring that puberty blockers and HRT are taken by cis people for various reasons all the time. But its a two tier system, its OK when its something a cis person does but its dangerous and forbidden when a trans person does it. To top it off, its about protecting "womens spaces" and "womens rights" as if the very laws and regulations being passed to punish trans people don't inevitably punish cis women and girls too. All of it is so transparently bullshit, yet so many fall for these lies.

Why the fuck does the government get to dictate, against the advice of every medical and research organization under the sun, what treatments a doctor and patient may enter into just because some absolute dipshits run their mouth on national television for 3 god damn minutes. God fucking damn, rant over

If its not 120 fps 4k on a 50 inch screen, dont even talk to me

guy with 60hz monitor: i am enjoying playing this game

guy with 240hz monitor: Honestly if you were to conceive of the most efficient possible torture in terms of purely causing agony for as long as possible and also have your firstborn son killed in front of you during the torture it would not even be a tenth as bad as playing a game at 60 fps

i actually have to keep reminding myself and force myself against my judgement to treat myself weekly as a form of mental health maintenance. It sounds easy going barebones, trying to cut all *frivolous spending* to save just a little more, but you get so miserable so quickly. I dont care if people think i could be more mindful with some of my spending, if i dont do this ill end up falling into depression(s) again and lose way more than the occasional indulgence of a discounted video game or a particular food that cheers me up and keeps me going and makes me feel like iam actually living and not a machine

meanwhile older generations will just tell us to pick ourselves up by our bootstraps and cant understand why shit is fucking hard these days because not only does everything cost proportionally more and the wages have stagnated but also we have to pay for more things and never get ownership, nevermind planned obsolesence. bitches will brag how they bought their house in 1960 and paid it off in 3 years and afforded to live on a single income like, mf even with two incomes you can barely make ends meet nevermind affording a house.
