Definitely points to learn and keep in mind. A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill. As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging. Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.
Yes,I hate that
Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.
We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL
I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."
Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening. Organizations trust government at their peril.

"The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.
I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state. But somebody was willing to include it at the time.
I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists. But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this. I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else. And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings.
Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong. As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy.
Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks. I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights.
Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time. I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work.
I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top.

^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist.
I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders. Its specifically Evangelical. I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of.
I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff. Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks.
Free?!?! That's insane. I can understand perhaps mistaking somebody's well equipped garage as a business, but demanding free work is ridiculous.
My GF once remarked that while few things in life are free, butt-kickings are an exception. She offers those free-of-charge, to any who ask. A little charity helps the world go round 🤣
