This is one of the first things I mention when I talk to anyone about transition. Anyone who thinks people are being rushed through and pushed into decisions they might later regret is absolutely incorrect. Even going privately was a whole, long ordeal. Not to mention incredibly expensive.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

I don't like acknowledging this asshole at all, but I do believe these sort of rage bait content creators are detrimental to the medium of games, they take up so much of the space and dominate conversations with this behaviour. And they just move on to the next person they're going victimize.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Regardless, caring about how your actions affect other people and making choices in line with that is about your values.

So, no, I don't think people developed "empathy burnout" as a result of 2020. I think people, especially in 2021 going forward, got permission to stop caring.

The entire concept of "empathy burnout" is why I think the way people talk about empathy is bullshit.

It's a model where people are allowed to opt out of doing the right thing because they don't feel the right things.

It's a model where everything is about vibes, not values.
