Sure. A lot of the anti-trans legislation specifically targets minors by banning puberty blockers and HRT for people under 18, forcing students to use the bathroom matching their AGAB in schools, forcing teachers to out trans students to their parents etc. The US in particular has a sizeable conversion "therapy" industry that largely targets minors. Trans kids are also much more at the mercy of their parents supporting them in their social and / or medical transition. If you live alone or with your parents makes a massive difference in your questioning phase. It's a lot harder to figure yourself out when putting on makeup and a skirt (or a binder and a packer when you're transmasc) means you can't leave your room like that because then your parents may see you. Buying these items in the first place may be impossible for many teens, at least without their parents noticing. An adult can usually go no contact with their transphobic parents without being materially ruined by it. A trans kid going no contact usually means they end up homeless. And on top of that, these kids are already aware of being trans at the precise point in their life when their body, if untreated, is changing in drastic ways that cause them massive dysphoria. If they do not have access to blockers or HRT, they consciously have to go through the wrong puberty and see what that does to their body. The pressure on trans kids is just much higher than the pressure on trans adults. Trans youth are an extremely vulnerable population, they just lack a lot of the ressources that people transitioning at a later age have while being in a much more precarious social and psychological situation. Being a teenager is hard enough as it is, but being a trans teenager with an unsupportive home and school environment leaves you little to no room to escape.

And the numbers from that stufy reflect that. The 72% increase in suicides is specifically for people aged 13-17. It is nowhere near that high in any other age group. And that's due to the factors outlined above. These laws and this social climate disproportionally kill children.

Anybody, and i mean literally anybody in support of these laws is an accessory to infanticide and should be treated as such.

My irl trans community is at the point where we are considering to add epithets for girls called Luna, Lina, Maya etc. because shit's starting to confuse the hell out of everybody

it can be a kind of amusing game to see how much of a flat affect and reserved demeanor one can maintain during the reveal of surreal corruption and incompetence

Yeees, it can be ... quite amusing, detective.

a PR disaster for piss

I don't think many people would openly admit to supporting fascism

which is why i count the "don't know" votes as "fascism, but i'm not gonna say that out loud"

Really a missed opportunity, Lord Pickles would be a plausible name for a British cat, and that cat could ride on that guy's hat and pilot him like Cait Sith from FF VII.

guess he didn't take it too well when the game literally told him to stop obsessing over other people's sexuality

The most anarchic of creatures are the cat

there actually is popular AnCom / syndicalist imagery around cats:

This originated with so-called wildcat strikes organized by the IWW, but nowadays is used in all kinds of agitprop about becoming ungovernable. Variations include a portrait image of a black cat hissing and so on

The Romans often just appropriated a Hellenistic concept and slapped new names on it, calling Icarus Luigi is far from the only example. See also renaming Zeus Jupiter or referring to lesbians as gal pals.

not the least bit surprised tbh, they post memes making fun of "binoclards" almost daily

Me, telling Amerikans that Germany has a carbon copy of Sovereign Citizens and that they're called Reichsbürger:

Still can't get over how the German localization translated Kimball as "Flippuragi" because pinball is Flipper in German.

There's blood rituals and then there's "i drilled a hole into my own skull and stuck an electrode into it to make this look less like powerpoint engineering"

Whenever i hear the Italian national anthem, i imagine the lyrics to just be "Italia, Italia, Italia, Italiaaaa" over and over again. idk why

honestly makes me wonder if the US will enter another era of beardo presidents one day, i could see that being a thing when all these hirsute dudes become old enough, which isn't that far off
