1/x: This what drives me nuts about the hubris and epistemic confidence of the VBNMW crowd.
Yes, elected Dems aren't embodying Nazism. So it seems like VBNMW is a form of harm reduction.
But VBNMW made Nazism inevitable by empowering Dems who laid the social foundation.

However depraved and horrible you think ICE's actions were on the day they killed Alex Pretti, here comes an interview with the woman he was trying to help to prove those actions were worse. Worse than I even imagined.
“They were hellbent on not allowing anybody to help him until he was dead,” she said. “I was right there, and they — all of them — made the decision to deny me access to give him the best possible chance of survival.”
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: “I was literally begging the agent who was holding me back to let me do CPR,” she told The Intercept.

I am one of the most published academics on the childhood social transition, with 5 peer reviewed articles that relate to the topic.
There is so much evidence of benefit of social transition.
There is no evidence of harm. Not one jot.
This will literally kill trans kids. No exaggeration.

The ethics rules for lawyers are not only entirely insufficient, they're fundamentally misguided.
what’s the most obvious on-the-ground truth that your profession knows, but people don’t live like it’s true?
what other jfc-inducing truths are sitting in plain sight for people who know how to see what’s happening?

Fave version of this is from an 80s zombie movie in which a girl's boyfriend gets Zd and then attacks her. When she resists, he says,
"If you really loved me, you'd let me eat your brain."
