Way too long to write here :) I've lived a couple of lives that have led me to become a CTO and a farmer on a quinta.
I'm here for the tech and science community and for kind people with interesting minds. Resist fascism!

Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

Pediatric phalloplasty is something that takes place when there is severe genital injury or a congenital condition. I have not been able to find a single report of phalloplasty performed on a transgender minor.
