In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Infuriating and edifying thread
This involved signing a statutory obligation, stating that I promised, BY LAW, to live fully as female for the rest of my life. As this was done, "by the book", the government promised that it would treat me as such. (4/13)

Yes, Finland had solved the homelessness problem. But then, a bunch of right wing politicians gained power and decided that they don’t want that kind of wellbeing anymore, it doesn’t fit to their idea of society.
Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way. ysaatio.fi/en/news/home...
Homelessness on the Rise in Finland - Y-Säätiö
Asunnottomien ihmisten määrä on kääntynyt kasvuun. Nyt asunnottomien määrä kasvoi Helsingissä, vaikka asunnottomia asutettiin vuoden aikana vaikuttava määrä.

If the bargain the Democratic Party leadership wants to make to the left is, the left should compete in primaries and then support the Democrat in the general, even if it isn't their favored candidate, it has to go both ways: When leftist candidates win primaries, the party needs to get behind them.

The "misinformation" in question here is that gender-affirming care reduces suicides among youth. It merely reduces depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideation.

Suicidal ideation is a harm in itself. It's fucking torture to be constantly plagued with intrusive thoughts about killing yourself or doing yourself serious harm. Even if we were to buy the claim that there's no causal link between ideation and completion, preventing ideation matters
