Hemmer was such a good character, shame they killed him off.

First of all, good for you for asking the question. I think many people are afraid to ask these things even if they want to be respectful and inclusive for fear of coming off as backward or ignorant, but I think asking questions in good faith shows that we're willing to listen and learn.

But most importantly, just treat them with the same respect you'd treat anyone else! Gender identity isn't really that big of a deal, and after you get to know some trans folks you'll come to that realization quickly that they're just regular people!

I lurk in the conservative reddit to see what they say about stuff, and the other side of the aisle also realizes this problem. They're well aware that any time the presidency flips colors the incumbent can just undo every EO from the previous administration.

Seems that one thing both sides agree on is that Congress needs to get back to legislating. Now how we do that, I'm not sure, easier said than done.

There is value in asking the question and in the consideration itself. Even if we never find the answer, it's good for our brains to think about these things. Knowledge, and the search for it, can be an end unto itself. We don't always need to do something with it.

I also want to point out that this administration is a symptom not only of the rot within the population, but the growing power of the executive branch.

It's been a concern since the Great Depression and WWII and over the decades it has been becoming more and more possible that an administration like this could happen.

Now it's being tested and I hope we're able to fix it.

Just gonna sister in another stud. And another. Juuust a few more.

The most high-profile case of ignoring the judges has been the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, where the ruling came when he was already en route. The courts have also said the administration had to take all reasonable actions to facilitate his return, or words to that effect, which they've surely not done.

Aside from that, in what other instances have they successfully ignored court rulings? I'm sure there have been a few, but not many.

In regards to this particular thread, a pardon of state crimes doesn't mean anything because no one would listen to it. States run themselves when it comes to criminal justice. Short of marching the military in and causing an actual civil war, there's no method for enforcing that.

It's important not to doom. Despair is the enemy. Stay positive but stay vigilant.

I'm not sure if you've been paying attention, but federal courts have been stopping him left and right. The most common situation has been Trump signs an EO or takes other action, federal court blocks said action, administration whines and moans but is forced to go along with the ruling.

You can count on one hand the times this administration has successfully ignored a court order.

And some people are asexual, doesn't mean that most people aren't.

Breasts are larger than they need to be, and they're that size all the time. One hypothesis is that they're used to signal sexual maturity and attract mates.

But aside from that, breasts and nipples are definitely a bigger erogenous zone than most parts of the body, probably second only to genitals. And they're directly involved in reproduction as you need them to feed babies.

And most importantly, most societies view them as sexual even if some don't. So what makes something sexual anyway? That's a subjective thing, it works by consensus.
