Things that made you frown today (Political Version)

Holy fuck. Where do you live? Alaska?

Sorry to hear about your lack of wing options. You may want to check your grocery store for pre-cooked frozen wings. Those air fryers cook them up in like 10 minutes and you can put Red Hot or whatever you want on them.

And how, exactly, does that change anything?

I just thought it was interesting. She performed on SNL with Sam Smith last year? I don't know but it was pretty cool. Looks to me like someone who's thriving.

Does seeing that picture change your mind about anything?

I usually make my own boneless - cut up the chicken, make some batter, make a few different sauces, fry them....

It takes a bit of work, so sometimes it's nice to bypass the work and get something from BWWs, but their wings are just okay. Wing Stop was horrid and no other place near me really does a good wing. So if I don't make it myself I have to settle for BWW.

Touche! I bow to your culinary superiority.

No. Just because someone is living with mental illness and surgically mutilated themselves to get famous doesn't change my mind. These people need treatment, not surgery and chemical sterilization. If transitioning significantly reduced the suicide rate or other key stats, I might have a different opinion, but it doesn't.

A quick Google search about suicide rates of people who have transitioned reveals why their suicide rate is what it is.

Factors associated with higher suicide risk
High rates of suicidal ideation and attempts are consistently linked to external factors and social rejection, rather than being inherent to a transgender identity. The "minority stress" model suggests that societal stigma and discrimination cause significant psychological distress.

Key factors include:

Family and social rejection: A lack of social support is a major risk factor for suicide attempts.

Discrimination and violence: Experiences of mistreatment and physical attacks significantly increase suicide risk.

Barriers to healthcare: Not receiving or fearing the loss of access to gender-affirming medical care is also associated with a higher prevalence of suicidal thoughts and attempts.

Mental health: Pre-existing mental health conditions increase the risk of suicide attempts among transgender people, just as they do in the general population.

The effect of gender-affirming care and social support

Research has found that protective factors, such as social support and access to gender-affirming care, are associated with lower rates of suicide. Studies suggest that gender-affirming medical interventions can be associated with lower odds of depression and suicidality over time.

If you truly did care about their suicide rate you'd scale back your extreme criticism and villainization because it appears the high rate is because of assholes like you who spread hate about them.

Normal people accept other people for who they are and treat them with respect. No, it's not the normal people.
