So we've had days of discussion about Megyn Kelly excusing Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilia because the children were teens.
Now, Graham Linehan gets off of harassment charges from someone who was 17 at the time he started harassing her, simply because the kid was trans.
Make it make sense.

Congratulations, you are now an "activist."

"Activist" is being purposely used by Sky News here to obscure the fact that Linehan had a violent outburst with a teenager.

Two photos taken from Downtown L.A.
They're from the L.A. Herald Examiner in 1951 and 1952. One from the Herald's roof, the other, I don't know, west of Downtown, maybe?
Not particularly remarkable. Kind of boring, really. Unless you know what they are.
They're nukes.

He can't see without his glasses, Charlie Brown
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die, Charlie Brown.

“the only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life”
If I’d engaged more, read threads like this years ago, I’d have known Alice better and myself and seen the systems that harmed us both.
She’d have had a better chance.

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"
You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

A couple years ago I reached out to Seattle Voice Lab about training. I was told they were full up and would get back to me. They never did.
Now I wonder if the scam fellow had been the one who reached out? The legit folks don't seem like they would not follow-up.

Dreamt last night I was doing a site critique of John Fetterman's new restaurant and spa on the outskirts of Chicago. I found it nice, but basic, with few interesting features to make people come back.
I want to run a level 1 diagnostic on my brain, now. It is clearly flawed.

While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months.
All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.
