EXCUSE ME???? There's language in the new ban that seems to ban a specific kind of T-Blocker for any gender dysphoric person, minor or not???

The arrogant entitlement is jaw-dropping. Anti-choice activist Joanna Howe is on record as having used “insults and threatening and intimidating tactics” against MPs in Australia.
She's bullshitting about this "immunity" claim. It's people who support abortion who need protection from HER.

Tax flight is NOT A THING. Rich people don't move because of high cost of living; that's what makes them rich! Being forced out due to high costs is a poor person thing, not a rich person thing. Can you imagine a billionaire saying they moved somewhere lame because of expenses? Insane.

I want white women to want better for themselves. You don't have to shag a catcher's mitt
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
