  • even though it would shift things left, which he hasn’t thought about and likely won’t acknowledge

    I keep hearing this and, ignoring the fact that it annoys me that we’re even entertaining the idea of annexation, it doesn’t make much sense. For one, there’s no way we’d be given the right to vote; And two, Canada will be a bombed out warzone for the far foreseeable future. It’s more likely the USA will break apart before Canadians accept being American. Even if we pretended that we wouldn’t call on NATO for help, Canadians would go guerrilla until the last Canadian is standing

    I think Americans underestimate the level of pride Canadians take in not being American.

    ~rural Alberta is a different story though~









  • Gender affirming care for minors doesn’t mean surgery. I’m not sure if you’re under the impression that’s what this is banning but if it is, it’s wrong.

    What this is banning, and what every similar ban is banning is things like puberty blockers which are reversible and are only effective before puberty (obviously). Preventing or delaying puberty is REALLY important because it makes fully transitioning infinitely easier later on as adults.

    All bans like this are doing is making the lives of trans people much harder under the guise of “preventing unreversible operations” when that’s not even what they’re banning.
