    This a wealth of studies showing cigarettes and beer negatively affect your health, while gender affirming cares improves and extends it. These are not even remotely comparable.

    Oh man that reminds me when my friends and I would sneak off after gym and go around behind the basketball courts to affirm our gender. Good times, good times.

      We were young and easily fooled, my homie ate bull testicles to get more T and girl was chuggin’ milk because Estrogen wasn’t available otherwise. Did this every week or so, and look where we are now with our syringes, 100% entry drugs.

    Wright County Circuit Court Judge Craig Carter wrote, “If we don’t let a 16-year-old buy a six-pack of beer and a pack of smokes

    I am normally the last person to give a shit about overly informal language, but for fucks fucking sake Missouri, you couldn’t find one person in your state with the intellectual capacity to realize that “If the state does not permit the purchase of alcohol nor tobacco by minors” maybe sounds a bit more serious? Like, the actual ruling itself is an offensive embarrassment, but I really can’t get over the fact that it’s written like a freakin facebook post.

        The English language will eventually deteriorate into a hybrid of hillbilly, valley girl, Inner City, and various grunts.

    Reed maintained the hospital treated many patients with mental health problems without comprehensive psychological evaluations; at trial, there was disagreement over whether a licensed therapist’s evaluation was enough to warrant gender-affirming care or if a psychologist or psychiatrist should be a requirement.

    Therapist: spends hours establishing a relationship with the patients in order to gain a fundamental understanding of their issues.

    Psychiatrist: Try these pills, idk.

    All this establishes that mental healthcare in this country is a fucking joke.
