Gender-affirming care for minors is not a bad thing. It’s been so needlessly demonized and the position has been so thoroughly capitulated to that I think people forget it’s actually a good thing. A Grammy award winning artist had gender affirming surgery at 16. It’s a great thing!
The hill I will die on:
Women say "like," "um," and "err," so frequently, because when there is the slightest pause in their speech, they are interrupted by men, and don't get the floor back to speak.🤷🏿♂️
So people that are frequently interrupted tend to use more verbal fillers.
Let women speak.
