You cannot have a functioning industrial/post industrial society without a bureaucracy. The chevron deference was an acknowledgment of that

Hell, he wasn’t even the only one carrying his. He stumbled three times and a stranger helped him carry it
Ok as an ex catholic the level of sacreligiosity here is impressive. The cross isn’t the heavy bit, it’s heavy sure, he was tortured to death, but a stranger helped him carry it when he couldn’t carry it alone. The heavy bit was choosing to go be tortured to death for everyone including his killers. It was refusing to use divine power to save himself. The cross? No, a thief, a murderer, and a prophet died on that hill that day, each carried their cross, each died on it.
Protestants are fucking weird.
Yeah, as an Ohio trans woman, I’m post op and my choices in presentation are to look like a non passing trans woman, a woman without qualifiers (those two are just random which I’m perceived as), or I can try to look male and look like a bad drag king or like a non passing trans man.
Maybe people just need to get used to people like us existing in public
Fucking hell now I need to go yell at my representatives
Oh you’re actually that stupid, let me laugh harder
Constitutional originalists and spitting on common law, name a more iconic duo.
All originalists should have to explain why they’re doing something to Thomas Paine
Oh they absolutely do. The alternative is men with breasts. They’ll say they don’t, but when the time comes to accept cis men’s bodies when they fall outside “male” expectations they won’t.
Well they do vastly outnumber us and have a ton of their own gender based insecurities so it makes sense
As a lady I not only understand this strategy I employ it
I think the feds should get involved any time anyone grooms children for any sexual act. But I think her and I firmly disagree on where each counts
Yeah as a lesbian, I assume homosexuality when someone says they’re a lesbian. It’s what I mean when I say it. Bi women are gladly welcomed in all sapphic contexts except the ones where nonattraction to men is relevant but I’m not going to erase their bisexuality by implying homosexuality in them
I keep hearing that but my truck keeps working: be openly gay and talk to women casually. If I’m just chatting with strangers in a lesbian flag shirt women feel comfortable hitting on me. It’s great
Isn’t she a Tory?
Well no fucking shit. Clubbing is often an escapist behavior. People with severe trauma often find themselves engaging in risky behavior with drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. Anything to distract them and help them hide from the pain. Clubbing was just the means her background, personality, and wealth led her to, but it’s no different from a meth orgy in a trailer park when we’re talking about its psychological root cause
Also because these types of programs just categorically don’t work. Some of the techniques can help consenting adults, but in young people and people there against their will it just creates trauma
Exactly, I don’t want revenge I want a kind society of equals
Yeah that’s one of the roughest reads of my life. Found it years back and oof. Important though
Eh, it’s more that pride is a rejection of the shame we’ve been taught to feel. But then you get into the fact that we aren’t telling straight people to be ashamed, we’re telling bigots that if anyone should be ashamed it’s them
Yeah either of those scenarios makes me think one of them is eventually turning back to gay sex. Sure bisexuals can have lifelong monogamous relationships with people of a different gender and they often do it happily, but how happily do they tend to do it with people bragging about how they defeated their partner’s queerness?
They need to know your height so they can tell you how the weather is up there
