This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I mean I guess you're joking, but nevertheless I think it's a bad thing to hope that every fifth person gets born into a body their mind doesn't agree with.

eh I'm trans, and now that I've transitioned, it's largely a neutral experience, neither good nor bad, it just is. But in my comment I meant that I think society (broadly) wouldn't be nearly as transphobic if every 5th person was trans.

If 21% of the population was trans, republicans ain't winning elections again.

You underestimate the proportion of dumb people. Trans people can also be dumb.

Yeah that's bananas. I wonder if people saying 1 in 5 people are trans even know a trans person
