its... very disturbing
not just because of the subject matter
but the all too real reflections of current times
especially regarding how trans people
are treated, tactics and laws brought in
the common 'consensus'
there are a great many things that stand out
a great many mirroring of modern thinking here
that is deeply uncomfortable
and that has nothing to do with the 'mechanics' and the discussion of the implementation of the final solution
its in the mentality of the people around the

I dwell a lot on how I'd spend a large lotto win
and because of circumstances
I don't really need that much to set up my ideal 'last stage' of life
and furnishing that for whatever length of time I had left
wouldn't be that much
but I do know I'd spend cash on people
this isn't pure altruism
nor is it repaying debt of any kind
but there is a buzz to helping others
I really enjoy
its not selfless theres a joy in it
If I had been born 6'5 and jacked
I'd have been a protecter of people
or a genius I'd have

over-saturation
... what?
how can any identity be an oversaturation
its not like cops
where there is a more militarized police force in the world

is confident in her evaluation of it that not only can there be a saturation point
they all have reached and 'over' saturated

when people use bully
theres a lot of hogwash spoken about the reality of the word and what it describes

decides to use an 'apparent' unfair advantage to force a situation to favor them
thats bullying
whether in the playground or in statecraft

I see so many people try and scribe 'weakness' to bullying
and often literally...stating cowardness is at the heart of all bullying
implying if a victim is brave enough they can counter the bully

Why is dehumanization so effective,
why do the extreme seek to utilize this tactic over and over
from religious fundamentalists to Nazis
from people who objectify to folk that create the 'hate the sin not the sinner' but when the sin resides in the sinner
well guess what happens
those that seek to blame the 'object' of desire rather than hold the one holding the desire accountable
there are so many layers to this type of thinking
so many ways it can be employed
so why is it so consistently and historically used

Ahhh, Stephen, I like a lot of my generation grew up with you from Blackadder Jeeves and Wooster et all
saw your struggle with Bipolar, saw you publicly come to terms with your sexuality
Regard you as a British institution
and know you are not a confrontational man by nature
BUT
DUDE, how can you not see past the superficial to the real arguments.. how can you not separate folk you may care for to seeing what they stand for is abhorrent
and IF the Trans community is eradicated...and THAT IS what these folk want
