a friend of mine is a truck driver and today he was training a new hire, who he described as "an old redneck dude". he said it was going alright until the old dude said "you know about them transgender folks?"

... uh oh

"yeah I'm thinking if them transgender folks can get such nice beards with testosterone maybe i should see if i can get it too, maybe finally get a nice beard growing in here..."

everything turned out better than expected!

gender affirming care for everyone!

@tarajdactyl We readily accept cis-gender affirming care, breast implants, plastic surgery, liposuction, and other “body” enhancements. We even accept “age altering” care (I can’t call it affirming). If we are going to ban gender affirming care because it doesn’t reflect the biological sex at birth then I think we should ban surgery that changes the nose, the breasts, the lips and butt you were born with and anything that alters the natural aging process.

I am stepping off my soap box now.

@jackiegardina absolutely. though i feel strongly that we shouldn't ban it for anyone!!!
