You are spot on here ... but also it seems like such a rigged game for the average person that it's hard to invest energy into the political arena -- too much big money controlling too many people/organizations/narratives for the common person to fee; heard... In general, why we in America accept either candidate is baffling... for all our innovation as a nation, we can't do better than these two bozos? The problem is, the political arena is such a sham -- again with large money controlling all aspects of the system -- that a common-sense, love-your-neighbor, make-reasonable-compromises, roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work candidate will never make it anywhere above the local level (if even there)... Everything is a reality show, and boring ol' decision makers that try to benefit the most people don't generate enough clicks, views and retweets... I am not sure it is so much about celebrity as it is about party politics at all costs - "my side must always be viewed as right and your side must always be viewed as wrong!" kind of thinking... there is no consensus building anymore because that will get used against you in campaign ads... When Obama took office and then Hilary ran again, it was like all Republicans want to do was to find someone loud enough to put them in their place. Forget issues, forget character, just win a debate and rally the base. To get back to your original point, not enough of us care about politics ... and in some ways we've become fat, happy and entitled as a nation. The yearning to achieve the "American dream", which drove my parents and their parents before them to work their tails off and sacrifice and save, is now just "give me the American dream for free while I sit here on my phone and watch tiktok..." -

I am about 5 weeks ahead of you ... best wishes to you! For me it has been subtle changes at most so far (if any) ... but I am also on the "beginner's" level of patch, lol ... Easy -

Oh, another comment. I am a conservative evangelical with strong Republican leanings. So is my wife, my friends, my family. I disagree with a good amount of what the Republicans are doing, but there it is. I understand the mindset, I think, a lot better than those who are outside it do. When you insult Republicans you insult me, my friends, my family. People like me can struggle with trans issues. Please consider that in posting. -

I found this as well. No playacting, they just appear: the finger waggle wave; bracing my elbow on my other arm that's folded across my chest, wrist in the air half-cocked; walking a bit more fiercely... All that. My wife thought I was mocking her at one point! -

I find my lack of time to read the thing frustrating, and I will not really comment until I have read it. This is a wholly inadequate response. 1. I think there are some legitimate concern. 2. Thoroughly discussing this will consume many threads. 3. I disagree partially with @MaeBe but there is partial agreement. 4. The context includes what is happening in society that the authors are observing. It is not an isolated document. 5. Trump, if elected, is as likely to spend his energies going after political opponents as he is to implementing something like this. 6. I reject critical theory, which is based on Marxism. Marxism has never worked and never will. Critical theory has problems which would need time to go into, which I do not have. 7. There are groups who have declared war on the nuclear family as problematically patriarchal, and a lot of other terms. They are easy to find on the internet. This document is reacting to that (see #4 above). 8. Much of this would have to be legislated, and this is a policy documented. Implementation would be most likely different, but that does not mean criticism is unwarranted. -

Sort of bracing myself for flipping, because I am wearing f and of course I wear f and it is natural to wear f and what else would I wear? The novelty is long gone out on this. I wore a bra most of yesterday but we had a Zoom call and I took the bra off because I was concerned about the straps showing. I missed it. My body is saying "I am female! Treat me that way!" In the past it has screamed about this activity that I have done to it. -

This is what I'm scared of. And it's quite possible. Apparently Chicken Little was right. -

Whether it was a hate crime or not, it's still horrible. -

Finally I am back online I had to use the help of the contact form (not proud of that, I always feel embarrassed and shy about contacting people), but here I am missed all of you -

I'm not happy to admit this, but I usually scream or break things. Breaking things became a bit of a no no, because It was always a cd or something I liked and it got very expensive to replace stuff -

Probably amusement parks. I've never been to one sadly, but I think I could talk for an hour about them without any problem -
