I left before then, but yes.

I have it, too. We must have been at the same reading.

On the level of local politics, that is also the dynamic here in Spain, with PP politicians echoing the rhetoric of VOX. After the latest results in Aragon, I've concluded that the PP is effectively campaigning for VOX.

Exactly. If the center-right or center-"left" nominally win, and then proceed to enact 90% of the far-right's program, who precisely has won?

A lot of people watch Hollywood films and Netflix series to learn spoken English.

As recently as 10 years ago, Portugal didn't even have any far-right parties worth mentioning.

The far-right candidate got 33% in the election.

In support of your point, that seems to be a case of moving very much in the wrong direction, very quickly.

Fun fact: in French queer slang 67 is used to say "cishet" (because 6-7 is said "six-sept")

My partner has done masculinizing voice training, and it has worked out very well for them. The person was in New York. I will ask if they remember the name.

Can't even blame the anglosphere solely, because the Spanish government just signed onto this nonsense. And because the Prime Minister is a social democrat, most of the local left seems to be falling for it.

This would really depend on the state. I absolutely changed tires regularly when I lived in Maine and in upstate New York (but not downstate)

I started transitioning at 42.

I'm 48 and I am my best self ever NOW.

I could have started earlier (recently while unpacking from my move I unearthed an artifact from one of my earlier near-crackings of the egg), but that hypothetical version of me would have been messed up in other ways.
