By executive decree, we're all now females, so we can't even be shitty misogynists.

Depends on how low the prices go /s

I know you two are sorta playing off each other, but I think most of us agree that no, it wouldn't make hurting innocent people ok.

I’ve been paying $8-9 for fancy organic farmer’s market eggs for years. It’s wild to me that the basic Kroger brand egg now cost that much but my fancy eggs haven’t gone up in price.

Costco was about the same per dozen (business costco had 15 doz for ~$137) and they're supposed to be cheaper because of membership fees and buying in bulk. But, hey, at least those damned trans folk are miserable! That's all any of us ever really wanted, right?

Oh look, another brick wall on which to bang my head until I do enough brain damage to understand the reichright.

Yes but that's Ralph's. I've continued getting $4 eggs from Sprouts which is just their going rate. (Although their $9 pasture eggs are lit).

Are they having a fire sale?

Glad you made it, squid! I can tell you there's nothing to fear with those eGates, as they check the photo, not your gender.

Regardless, it seems like you got out at the right time.

Do you genuinely think the government doesn't have any trace of whether or not you have changed your gender marker?

Depends on how the state does it. California amends birth certificate in most cases by leaving the previous version of the document as an addendum to the current... except in cases of gender change. If any person or agency queries the document they see a single page that reflect the updated gender, no history.

(They also do this if your name has a slur in it that you want removed, which is nice)

I changed my marker during Biden. My state made it very easy. It’s a liberal bastion in the NE, and I have an X for NB.

But, yeah, I don’t feel exactly safe. If they made me change my marker, I wouldn’t have much concern psychologically (I’m more gender abolitionist), but I feel like they wouldn’t do much asking and would just rather “remove me” from society or whatever.

It’s not great, but I know some of my trans homies have it much worse. Going through years of HRT, therapy, etc., transitioning, and then finally getting to a marker and identity that aligns with you…only for this group to push you to change it back (or again, potentially worse outcomes).

It may be a time of setbacks and shitty outcomes, but Pandora’s box is largely open. While the trans population is small, a lot of people know a trans person now. Hell, Elon is bitterly related to one.

Even if they killed all LGBTQ people, you can’t eliminate this population like genocide: it’s an idea or identity.(“And ideas are bulletproof” jk) You can’t kill these feelings out of existence forever. Queer people will always exist.

Bottom line: That entirely depends on what you look like.

And for many, just as importantly, what you want need to look like.
