Transgender people get diagnosed gender *dysphoria*, not dysmorphia.

Dysmorphia is an obsessive disorder where a person’s perception of reality is distorted. A dysphoria is a persistent unease with a distressing situation. You can have dysphoria from your crappy job. The treatment for a dysphoria is to change the situation. Losing weight doesn’t relieve dysmorphia for anorexic people. Transition does relieve dysphoria for trans people. We’re not delusional, we need a change of circumstance

I was going to provide a reductio ad absurdum about divorce but then I remembered republicans want to make that illegal too. But imagine a normal person hearing that you’re unhappy with your marriage and you’ve been to therapy and you want a divorce and their reaction being, “oh my god we need to make divorce illegal and make sure it isn’t on tv and stop kids from hearing about it”. Anyways yeah, never mind I guess they are consistent here 😬

@danirabbit I would love to see them try to enforce that rule. What are they going to do go to your house and drag you out and force you to work? This is the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard of. I’ve been a manager for fast food restaurant, if you can’t keep employees, the problem isn’t the workers, it’s probably management.
