Liberals need to stop vilifying the NRA and realize they are good.

Liberals have no one to blame but themselves for causing this situation.

In order to get any mental health issue insured, a person needs to get a mental health diagnosis.

Mental health providers almost always diagnose someone with a DSM illness just to get coverage. I have never heard of someone seeing a psychiatrist or therapist and not getting any diagnosis at all.

Liberals also allowed being transgender to be a DSM illness so that transgender people could get medical coverage, which is a dishonest way of conceptualizing gender identity. It is very hard to get insurance to cover anything without that diagnosis.

Liberals have then linked gun purchases to a lack of mental health diagnosis in a misguided effort to strip Americans of the right to bear arms instead of encouraging more people to own guns, encouraged gun training, and encouraged free mental health care that has extreme privacy and no links to any status within society.

As a result, people who want access to guns do not seek mental health care since mental health care is expensive and can limit rights within society. And now those who have naively used mental health services and been labeled in order to get costs covered can be marginalized even more.

This is a disaster that liberals created by attacking 2nd Amendment rights. Instead of giving transgender people mental health diagnoses when they identify as trans, society should be giving these trans people free health insurance, free therapy that is completely private and will never result in a loss of freedom, and extensive and comprehensive free weapons training.

People who support trans people and support inclusion need to stop allowing Republican conservative pieces of shit to claim sole support for the 2nd Amendment. This should be a wake up call to all Trans people that if you can legally get armed, do it now, and stop seeing this Mental Health/Liberal coalition suppressing 2nd Amendment rights as being in anyone's interest. The second amendment was never meant to be limited and radical activist liberals and conservatives have perverted the intent of the founding fathers with the result that good upstanding trans people may lose their right to carry guns.

There are phosh based phones and over time more people will hopefully switch to them, use them, and work on making them better. Phosh-based phones are currently are not as usable as something like GOS, but with Google challenging itself to become more and more enshitified in the interest in marginal tiny profit gains (even if it destroys their brand over the long term) nerds needs to band together prepare for an alternative. Part of this is going to be advocating for Apps that work in Linux mobile Phosh environments and just refusing to use containerized apks and part of it is going to be people doing what they can to support native linux phone apps that work well in Phosh.
