Wow. Well… couple things.Putin has no more face to save. It is NOT Europe’s job to save his face. Perhaps smoosh his face in a pie made out of the poison he used on Navalny? Id be okay w that.
As for the whole trans thing. Much like pregnancy, its complicated by the fact that each pregnancy and each trans human are different. Often dramatically different. Each situation is novel and deserves to be treated UNIQUELY. BY DOCTORS. Both pregnancy and transitioning are MEDICAL. NOT LEGAL.
I am sick to death of Republicans “playing doctor”. Checking the genitalia of athletes? Egregious Child abuse.
Should we rationally discuss the best way forward for trans kids? Yes if its to provide parents with resources and children with acceptance. We cis folk need to defend and ally of course, but we should listen a LOT before we “pronounce”. We should listen to trans people, and to parents of exploring kids
Transitioning seems deeply personal, and politics has no business in our personal decisions which do not affect anyone else.
Why is simple kindness so difficult for Republicans? Thats a genuine question in case someone wants to attempt an answer.
I'm inclined to snark on the question you pose. But I'll try to 'go straight'. I don't really know the answer. I'd like to think perhaps they just forgot how to be kind. But that would assume that they once knew how to be that. Some of them, maybe. Some of them, probably. But for many of them, I think that trait never existed at all, or was only for 'show' if it was exhibited. A pretty broad brush, but that's all I've got.
It isn't just Rs - society as a whole, I think, has forgotten to be kind. A lot of so-called good manners are simply people being respectful and kind to each other. When a society becomes all about "me, me, my feelings", kindness is considered weak and "anti-me".

They have plenty of kindness, it just stops for people who are different enough. Which is weird, since so many of them identify as followers of Jesus.

Yep. Think you're quite right about that, Eva. Quite right, indeed.
