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 😬

Okay imagine someone saying it was the moral downfall of society if you take off your really itchy sweater and you should be forced to learn to cope with that sweater because we wouldn’t want the children getting the idea there’s other types of clothing. How about that

That's a powerful analogy.

And it’s clearly illegal.

WTF? So they will hold you hostage and force you to work or what?

Of course you can quit, at any time you wish without anyone's permission.

What utter and complete nonsense from a management that clearly has very serious issues with staff retention.

I wonder why? 🫤🤦‍♂️

@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.

To me this says 'we will not quit on you if you don't quit on us'...idk.

@danirabbit they have been going after no fault divorce, but the messaging is clear, the only kind of divorce that will be allowed in time, is that of a man ‘upgrading’ to a young, hotter model… the way nature intended it. There is likely a very related reason they have protected child marriage as well.

💯 And it's worth noting that you can have both.
