Would Being Able to Predict Which Kids Will Identify as Transgender Actually Be Good for Trans People?

Besides the points the article raises about folks being diagnosed as "not trans enough", there's another consideration.

Picture such a test in the hands of bigots.

They'd be apt to double down and try *harder* to make the kids identified by the test "normal".

And lets not even get into how possible genetic tests for being gay or trans could be misused.

my brother knew a kid in school who made $1 bills on his computer & printed with them some fancy printer so he could buy extra stuff at lunch.

Anyway, city folk ain’t rude, they just polite different; suitable for city life.
um, I live in Oakland and there's a metric fuckton of grocery stores here. I live within walking distance of Safeway, Grocery Outlet, Trader Joe's, Sprouts and two little mom and pops.

very possible, but they said there weren't any grocery stores in Oakland generally. I didn't even get into the ones that are a short bus ride away.

"Trump offers socialism for the rich, capitalism for everyone else"

No he doesn't.

"To a conservative mind, socialism is getting something for nothing. Yet this is what the president promotes for the wealthy"

'To a conservative mind', maybe, since as we have all observed, 'conservative minds' don't give a shit about truth or accuracy, and just twist everything around to fit their irrational narrative. But in point of fact, socialism is government ownership of the means of production. It is not 'socialism' when rich kleptocratics take over the government and use the law to grant huge bail-outs and kick-backs to their own privately owned corporations.
