@GBBranstetter @pianobar77 The point is important, but if it helps any trans people feel a bit safer, I do know many trans people with grey hair. I'm starting to get a little grey at the temples myself and am looking very forward to having more.

@maximbepis @YesAnastasia13 I've said this for ages. If a man isn't paying attention to your clitoris, it's not that he can't find it. It's that he doesn't care. The stereotype just provides an excuse.

@NightlingBug What about a reverse Stardew Valley where you move into a thriving farm in a thriving town with a thriving community center and encourage everyone to let it go to seed and return it to nature, eventually allowing the encroachment of wildlife who consume the remaining villagers?

This is true of so many things, too. Like, it costs us more money to manage the "homelessness problem" than to just give people homes. It costs us more money to police welfare than to just pay it all without the rigamarole. Etc., etc.

@MarstheBitter @BunsTeri Even from a TER perspective, how does that make any sense given that Jeopardy isn't gender segregated? If they believe trans women are men, but men are allowed to complete against women anyway, then isn't whatever advantage they misogynistically imagine already in play?
