Confirms it tbh

In addition to the other great suggestions here, I recommend Austen Hartke’s book “Transforming”. It’s got a fairly well formed framing of the arguments you’re looking at and more - it attempts to put them together into a coherent overall arc of the Bible’s message as it relates to gender and I think it does a fairly good job.

He also is involved with (founded?) a group called Transmission Ministry Collective that has some discussion groups and other resources online. I don’t knkw much about that but i get the impression it’s fairly active.

Anyway, you’re not alone. There are dozens of us! (trans Christians). I grew up in independent fundamentalist Baptist churches but these days I feel quite at home in our local UCC church. And I also discovered so many other Issues where I feel they are more in tune with the Bible compared to the world I grew up in.

Also for online services I highly recommend a church called Restore Austin, which streams on YouTube. If you can’t find a welcoming community it can be good to at least remind yourself they do exist.

This is all assuming a Protestant/evangelical background, sorry if that doesn’t apply - I don’t know as much about the landscapes of other traditions.

Even if he has MS13 tattoos and a real legit MS13 membership card, I don’t care - we [are supposed to] have “freedom of association” here, meaning that membership in an organization alone should not be a crime.

It’s important to recharge the eels regularly

Fortunately it was outside the environment

You would think he’d know from his aunt Rosie’s tragic example about how our society puts inconvenient people out of sight.

And 34% on Taiwan won’t help anything either

One easy example: get ready to pay a lot more for vanilla. Madagascar makes 50% of it, and gets a 47% tariff. Good luck picking up the slack with US domestic production.

Ok let’s suppose you could though. Wouldn’t that make it EVEN MORE criminally negligent to discuss classified info there?

The DNC is Lucy 100% but Bernie is the football

It’s a valid thing we should have done a while ago, but can the president actually just do it? I mean, I know he “can” if people let him but, like, doesn’t that in theory require an act of Congress?

We’re setting up the “Mr Burns’ diseases” system. We’ll just have every constitutional crisis in existence all at once, and they’ll balance each other out! 🤦‍♀️

I don’t remember details but I feel like I read a while ago that there’s a pending amendment that some blue states want to de-ratify. If there’s open question about whether de-ratifying is a thing, then this might be a strategic move to get the courts to establish that it is.

Edit: looking up unratified amendments I see there aren’t that many and none seems to fit the description I was thinking of so I guess my memory is just wrong. But still I do wonder if it might just be a case of putting an old question to bed.

Well his manifesto said it wasn’t terrorism after all. No reason to question such a fine upstanding citizen.

From the 1960s, it uses vacuum tubes and weighs 7 tons

Clearly not, or you would know that Febreze and Snickers is far superior!

Or he wants to go finish melting the rest of the ice faster
