    I think there's a real difference between some people who identify as "nonbinary" and others who are truly "transgender." I think in practice these two groups tend to get lumped together or conflated as "trans," when in reality there are quite different phenomena (psychological or otherwise) at play with each group. Sometimes of course there might be overlap for particular individuals, but I think there are potentially very real differences here that get lost in all the noise.

    Ya cops have that special type of skin where mere contact gets them into panic attacks.

    Yep, you can add "crime" and the "woke" and CRT and Alamo history etc.
    Aside from "Freedom !! " is there anything they actually stand for. Fear sells, blood leads.

    Good to know that the opioid epidemic is just fearmongering by conservatives and the media.

    Lol it absolutely is fear mongering. Not because fentanyl addiction isn't a real issue but the entire cop overdosing on skin contact stories and the whole "fentanyl being handed out to kids" narrative is abject fear mongering propaganda.

    The cop stuff is total crap, but I haven't heard that in a long time. The "free drugs to kids" has been a thing at least since the late 70's. Once I was a teenager I always wondered where these mysterious people giving away drugs liked to hang out.

    Where are yall seeing this?

    I am not going to read 33 pages, but please stop shoving your genders in my face, because I really don't care. I don't know all the words, I don't know what they all mean. You be happy... I'm going to be happy and i'm going to keep not giving a F about your gender.

    Okay? How many kids in the history of Halloween have gotten od from a drug dealer lacing candy with drugs?

    How many cops actually is from merely being in contact with fentanyl?

    When people are referring.tp the fear mongering they aren't referring to the addiction epidemic. They are referring to those media and cop scare tactics that are just objectively false.

    I'm not sure what media stories you're referring because the media I consume apparently doesn't ever mention that. But fentanyl is a problem

    Yes opioid addiction is a real problem including ease of access to opioid but there is so much overblown fear mongering around it. Especially around tying it into immigrants where every immigrant coming to our southern border is portrayed as a pack animal carrying fentanyl.
