Hannah Arendt, who fled Germany in 1933, later wrote that long before Jews, Roma, gays, Communists and others could be herded into death camps, they had to be “denationalized” — excluded from the society that guaranteed their legal rights. Enlightenment thinkers had posited that just by virtue of existing, each person has inalienable rights. Arendt, however, observed that the “right to have rights” could be guaranteed only by a political community. Without a state to claim them as their own, people have no laws, no courts and no political mechanisms for protecting rights.

Arendt once said that “the generally political became a personal fate when one emigrated.” As a stateless person, she experienced that loss of rights — unable to get papers, hiding from the police, interned as an enemy alien in France — before making it to the United States. She was lucky. Her friend Walter Benjamin committed suicide in his eighth year of exile, when the French authorities blocked him from crossing the border ahead of advancing German troops...

A country that has pushed one group out of its political community will eventually push out others. The Trump administration’s barrage of attacks on trans people can seem haphazard, but as elements of a denationalization project, they fall into place...

The message, consistent and unrelenting, is that trans people are a threat to the nation. The subtext is that we are not of this nation...

The rights the Trump administration is taking away from trans people are relatively new. Only in the past few decades, for example, have clear legal procedures existed for changing the gender marker on identity documents, and only in the past few years have federal and some state authorities made the process fairly easy. But before transgender, gender-nonconforming and intersex people were recognized as a group — or groups — of people who had rights, many could blend in, fly below the radar. Now, in their new rightlessness, they are exposed...

Living with documents that are inconsistent or at odds with your public identity is no small thing. It can keep you from opening a bank account, applying for financial aid, securing a loan, obtaining a driver’s license and traveling freely and safely inside a country or across borders. I was once detained in Russia after a routine road check because an officer thought I was a teenage boy using his mother’s driver’s license.

It’s not just American identity documents that are being scrambled. Like all things American, Trump’s denationalization campaign affects people far beyond the United States. In late February, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued visa guidelines, ostensibly designed to keep foreign trans athletes from competing in the United States, that seem to direct consular officers to deny entry to anyone whose gender markers appear different from their sex assigned at birth.

The new regulations require visitors, when filling out the paperwork to cross the border into the United States, to indicate the sex they were assigned at birth. Lucien Lambertz, a German curator who is trans and was planning a professional trip to the United States, told me they worried that they would be denied entry if they complied, indicating a birth sex different from the gender marker in their passport, but also if they didn’t comply.

Lambertz emailed the Foreign Ministry in their country to ask for guidance. “The issue is the subject of tense discussions here at the ministry, and your concerns are absolutely understandable,” the response read, in part. Ordinarily, the Foreign Ministry would suggest asking the U.S. Embassy, but by doing so, as the letter noted, Lambertz “would then ‘out’ yourself to them.”

Trans and nonbinary Germans fear that their country’s incoming conservative government may take its cues from the Trump administration. Far-right parties, ascendant in Germany and other European countries, have made the specter of “gender ideology” a centerpiece of their politics.

“Something has changed,” Heinrich Horwitz, a German choreographer, told me. Horwitz, who is nonbinary, was recently assaulted at the main train station in Vienna. The attacker was demanding to know whether Horwitz was “a girl or a boy.” Before they could make out what the attacker was saying, Horwitz instinctively tucked the Star of David they wear around their neck inside their shirt. “I thought that would be safer.” Horwitz, who was born in Munich in 1984, is the child of a Holocaust survivor. “I grew up with this idea that I could always go to the U.S. if the Nazis came back,” they told me. That no longer seems like an option.

You know how this column is supposed to end. I rehearse all the similarities between Jews in Germany in 1933 and trans people in the United States in 2025: the tiny fraction of the population, the barrage of bureaucratic measures that strip away rights, the vilifying rhetoric. The silence on the part of ostensible allies. (Trump spent about five minutes of his recent address to Congress specifically attacking trans people and 10 minutes attacking immigrants; the Democratic rebuttal mentioned immigrants once and trans people not at all.) Then I finish with the standard exhortation: The attacks won’t stop here. If you don’t stand up for trans people or immigrants, there won’t be anyone left when they come for you.

But I find that line of argument both distasteful and disingenuous. It is undoubtedly true that the Trump administration won’t stop at denationalizing trans people, but it is also true that a majority of Americans are safe from these kinds of attacks, just as a majority of Germans were. The reason you should care about this is not that it could happen to you but that it is already happening to others. It is happening to people who, we claim, have rights just because we are human. It is happening to me, personally.

the price to pay when you’re a passenger princess.

You knew that there had to be a catch when Bakugou said he’d pick you up after your 12-hour shift at the hospital. But the thing was, you were too exhausted to dwell on the thought.

Or so you thought.

“You look dead on your feet,” he commented as he opened the door for you.

“Thanks for the compliment,” you replied dryly, tossing your bag into the backseat. “And they say chivalry is dead.”

The sleek, jet-black Porsche 911 Turbo S roared through the empty streets like a predator on the hunt, the low rumble of the engine vibrating through your very soul. Bakugou, of course, looked completely at ease, one hand resting casually on the steering wheel, the other on the gear shift, a calm expression seen on his face.

You’ve come to understand that your husband was relatively calm when not provoked.

“Katsuki,” you started as the car picked up speed, “you do realize this is still a hospital zone, right? Maybe don’t speed like you’re in a Fast and Furious movie.”

“I wasn’t.”

“You literally just did.”

“Relax,” he drawled, shifting gears with precision. “You know I’ve got this.”

You, on the other hand, were internally reciting every safety procedure you could think of in case of an unfortunate circumstance to come.

“Should I call my assistant to make an appointment in advance?”

Bakugou snorts. “What? Don’t trust me?”

“Oh, I trust you. It’s the laws of physics I don’t trust,” you muttered under your breath, earning a low chuckle from him.

The worst part? There was barely any traffic this late at night, which only encouraged Bakugou to push the limits of what his new Porsche could do. You glanced at the speedometer and instantly regretted it.

“Katsuki, I swear to God—”

“What? It’s not like I’m breaking the speed limit,” he said with mock innocence, though the mischievous glint in his eyes told you he knew exactly what he was doing.

The Prefectural Government’s Public Safety Commissions should really revoke his license one of these days. Or you might not live to see the next one.

“By less than two!”

You leaned your head back against the seat, staring at the darkened city skyline as it blurred past you. You were exhausted from your shift, your feet aching, bone tired, but all of that was being drowned out by the overwhelming sensation of your life flashing before your very eyes.

You double-checked your seatbelt again. It’s never too late to actually be safe.

“Stop looking at me like that,” he said without taking his eyes off the road.

“Like what?”

“Like you’re about to yell at me for being too hot and good at everything.”

“Wow? The audacity of my husband making such a bold claim,” you scoffed, rolling your eyes at him. “Have I fed your ego too much that you’re about to float away like a hot-air balloon?”

“Didn’t deny my claim.” He got you there.

You couldn’t argue with that.

“Just so you know,” you muttered, clutching the grab handle even tighter as he effortlessly weaved between two cars, “if I die tonight, I’m haunting you. And I’ll make sure to mess with you when you’re trying to sleep.”

“Good,” he said with a grin, finally glancing your way. “At least then you’d be with me all the time, huh?”

You stared at him, momentarily speechless. “Are you seriously flirting with me right now? While you’re driving like a maniac?”

“Who says I can’t multitask?”

Before you could fire back with another retort, the car slowed as you neared your apartment complex. Your death grip on the handle loosened ever so slightly, though your heart was still racing.

When Bakugou finally parked, you let out a breath you hadn’t realized you were holding. You unbuckled your seatbelt, your hands still trembling a little.

“I hate you.”

“Love you too or whatever.”

“I—wait, you actually said it.”

“What? Can’t a man just say he loves his wife?”

“Good point, but you rarely say it!”

“I pick you up after your every shift and make sure you don’t die of starvation or poor health. That’s enough than saying it, no?”

“But you said it! So it’s different.”

“Not.”

“It is!”

“Not.”

“Is!”

Terrifying car rides aside, there was no one else you’d rather be stuck with. Even if your husband drove you absolutely crazy—both on and off the road. This must be the price of being Bakugou Katsuki’s passenger princess.

Prison in the world of Cars

So Im currently in the process of writing chapter 8 of Behind Blue Eyes and said chapters' content has got me thinking about the various minutiae of prison systems within this universe. Here is my take on it.

Speed restrictors - In order to prevent any kind of escape attempt, speed restrictors would be fitted to inmates with a high flight risk to prevent any speed being reached above about thirty miles per hour. In some cases, it could be deemed necessary to decrease speed potential even further for the most dangerous offenders. But the use of these devices comes with a significant quantity of government regulation to prevent their misuse. The fitting of restrictors can cause engine issues in the long run and shouldn't be used without prior approval from a court.

Parking boots - Wheel cuffs. I needn't say much more than that. No moving for you! They can be used on both front wheels, both back wheels or all four wheels depending on requirement. But one or three parking boots should never be utilised as this can cause serious damage to the detainee if they were to try and drive.

Extension restraints - For particulary strong and violent offenders, axle extension restraints can be applied. Parking boots are the go-to for prisoner transport, which are heavy and cumbersome. But for strong vehicles who want to get a few punches in, the use of parking boots can be particularly hazardous to police officers. So these restraints can be utilised to prevent any damage to other vehicles or property that could be caused by the detainee.

Deep tread tyres - It would be damaging to a vehicle to force them to roll around on tyres with deliberately low pressure. So to increase drag for inmates, a thicker tyre tread is used. This has the added bonus of reducing the amount of replacements required during sentence duration, thus cutting down on costs. Although the tyres used increase the vehicles ability to grip into the floor and push or pull, the officers that respond to any issues with the prisoners within their care are usually able to subue them rapidly and effectively. Prison tyres are ugly and not comfortable to drive on.

Chemically engineered paint - With technological advancements and genius chemical engineering, the paint used on inmates is very specific and can be picked up from quite a distance away with the use of police scanners. It holds its own unique chemical formula that lights up like a christmas tree when scanned with the appropriate digital equipment. The colour is also utilised as a tell-tale sign as it is a highly distinctive and vibrant orange; the only orange paint of its kind. This paint can only be purchased for prisons, by prisons. To be in possession of this paint without the appropriate licensing carries both a hefty fine and a prison sentence. So if an unlicensed vehicle is caught with it, they will very quickly be wearing it. The chemical does, however, hold the unfortunate capacity to seep into and embed itself into the surface of metal through layers of paint, meaning that, even if a vehicle is released and repainted (repainted on the offenders dime might I add), they will still be picked up on police scanners. This leads them to be regularly stopped and questioned by police officers. This can be incredibly irritating to both parties, however it does allow officers to keep an eye on offenders that are on probation. Vehicles that are permitted to be external to the prison whilst on remand are sprayed with just the traceable chemical component of the paint, which is invisible to the naked eye. A small stencil is utilised in the form of the sigil of the police force that made the arrest. This makes them traceable to police, but prevents civilians from seeing that said vehicle could be facing criminal charges. For those that can afford the expensive procedure, this chemical is removeable by removing all layers of paint and primer and grinding down the surface layer of the bare metal. This can be painful, so a general anaesthetic is provided.

Fuel quantity control - As previously displayed in the first cars movie, fuel quantity is important when you want to try and escape from the cruel clutches of community service. The same principal can apply in prisons. Fuel intake is heavily regulated and no inmate is usually permitted any more than 1/8 to 1/6 of a tank at any time. There are exceptions to this in regards to specific jobs that inmates perform as some will require larger quantities to perform their duties. Which is usually met with seething envy.

GPS locators - This method is even more heavily restricted than the use of speed restrictors as it violates multiple data protection laws and vehicle rights legislation. However, in the correct circumstances, it can be very useful. This is only ever used for vehicles that are both incredibly dangerous and have a high flight risk.

Remote engine inhibition - A vehicles engine can be shut down at the push of a button after modifications to the programming of the ECU have been made. This method of inmate control is incredibly new and still in its theoretical stages and thus it is still being debated whether or not it is viable and vehmane. Considering its highly intrusive nature and possibly damaging consequences to both the escapee and the general public, if it were ever to pass into legislation, its useage would be very rare indeed.

Medical care - Each vehicle within the prison system must have a three monthly check up with a desigated mechanic and all new inmates must be checked once a week for the duration of three months. Considering high depression rates within prison systems, a lot of vehicles, especially first time offenders, will stop consuming oil due to stress. This can lead to sickness and fever/overheating, which causes severe issues in the long run.

Not all of the above restraint/tracking methods will be used in all cases as it will depend highly on sentencing requirements for specific individuals and the type of prison that they end up in.

I might update this at a later date if I think of anything else to add. But so far, this is all I've got.

In a nutshell, its INSANELY difficult for any vehicle to escape a prison. So Miles Axelrod is pretty fucked.

What's the difference between a nurse and nurse practitioner?

They are two different "levels" in the nursing hierarchy.

Here's how that hierarchy works in the USA:

At the very beginning rung you have STNAs, or State Tested Nursing Assistants. STNAs have taken a class that lasts in the weeks-months range of time and received a certificate. They have then taken a test to prove that they understand the material. In a job context, STNAs do a lot of the direct patient care- they bathe and feed patients, take vitals, turn patients who cannot move for themselves, etc...

The next rung up is an LPN, or Licensed Practical Nurse. LPNs have gone to a nursing program lasting usually between 1 and 2 years, have received a diploma, and have taken a test called the NCLEX-PN. In a job context, LPNs can do everything an STNA can do, plus they can gather information about a patient's condition, pass medications (except some IV medications) and do many nursing interventions like wound care, placing IVs and catheters, etc... An LPN must work under the license of an RN.

The next rung up is an RN, or Registered Nurse. RNs have either an associates' degree (2-3 years) or a bachelor's degree (4 years) in nursing, which has allowed them to sit for a test called the NCLEX-RN. No matter which education route the nurse takes to get their RN the license is the same and they are allowed to do the same things in a clinical context. In a job context, an RN can do everything an LPN can do, but can give all medications (including IV) and are allowed to also make care decisions LPNs cannot. They also hold an independent license, meaning they can provide nursing level care without needing to be supervised by a higher license-holder.

The next maybe half rung up is a Certified Registered Nurse. These are nurses who have worked in a particular area of nursing (med-surg, psych, ICU, etc...) for a certain number of years and taken classes and a test to say they know a lot about that area of nursing. Now, unlike the nursing license itself, this certification is usually through a private organization instead of the state of practice. Certified Registered Nurses don't have any additional skills they can do, but they do act as a resource for other nurses and may get paid more depending on the organization they work for.

The next rung up is an APRN, or Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. An APRN is a nurse who has a masters degree or higher in nursing, and who, again, has taken a test. Here is where things get complicated. Because 4 different licenses fall under APRN:

Nurse Practitioner (NP). An NP is an APRN who works under a physician's license in some states and hold independent licenses in others. They are able to do a lot of things that doctors can do, including diagnose, treat, and prescribe (what they are able to prescribe depends on the state they are in). NPs specialize in a specific patient population, and they can only work with the type of patient they have specialized in.

Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS). A CNS is an APRN who acts as a consulting nurse. Basically, they have gotten specific education in a specific area of nursing for a specific population, and they consult with the multidisciplinary team, generally at a hospital, about the nursing care for that type of patient. CNSs typically cannot prescribe medications, but may prescribe nursing interventions.

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). A CRNA is an APRN who works as an extension of an anesthesiologist. They provide anesthesia during surgery and procedures.

Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM). A CNM is an APRN who delivers babies and helps mothers and children through the entire maternity and birth process. They may also do things like women's health exams, nutritional counseling, and the like.

hi! I’ve had some gum recession, and have been flossing and brushing regularly. I had a deep clean ~6 months ago, and my gums have since reattached to my teeth. My dentist told me that my gums would shrink but would stabilise around the 4 month mark. I’ve noticed that my gums around my top teeth have started receding again (before it was my BOTTOM teeth which had severe receding), and have no idea what’s going on or how to stop it. The gums are just barely covering the bone and I’m scared! I have an appointment in August, and can’t get a sooner one. Any advice?

hey there!! it’s always scary when treatment doesn’t go as planned — as always, it’s impossible for me to truly advise anything without being your dentist, but i do have some information and resources that may be helpful!

i’m going to guess the procedure you had done was scaling and root planing (SRP), which is what is commonly referred to as a deep cleaning. this is usually the first phase of treating periodontal disease, and can be performed by any licensed dental hygienist. for a lot of people, this clears up a lot of the active disease, and they’re able to maintain their gum health at home and with more frequent dental cleanings.

however, you might be one of those patients whose periodontal disease has progressed past the point where SRP can be helpful. this does not mean your case is hopeless!! it just means that further intervention may be needed. your dentist may recommend that you see a periodontist, a specialist who treats gum disease full-time. they can do more advanced SRP cases, as well as procedures like gum and bone grafting and guided tissue regeneration. these kinds of procedures can restore the gum and bone that you’ve lost using tissue grafts from elsewhere in your mouth and donated cadaver bone. this is a good overview of each type of periodontal treatment. not everyone is a good candidate for these treatments, but a lot of people have really great results from them!! it’ll just depend on your specific case, anatomy, other health factors, etc.

if your regular dentist can’t get you in for a few months, it’s not a bad idea to see if you can get an appointment at another practice for a second opinion. they might write you a referral to a periodontist, or make recommendations for maintaining your current gum and bone levels until your appointment in august.

regular flossing and using an alcohol-free antibacterial mouthwash can help a lot with managing active periodontal disease at home. if you have a water flosser, you can fill the tank with 50% water and 50% mouthwash to maximize the benefits of that mouthwash by making sure it gets into all the nooks and crannies.

xylitol is also a great ingredient for gum health!! it’s naturally antibacterial, and has been shown to help reduce inflammation and even reattach gums in some cases. you can get mouthwash or chewing gum with xylitol in it, but i wouldn’t eat too many xylitol consumables, as it can cause some stomach upset if you ingest a bunch of it.

i hope this was helpful!! please let me know if you have any other questions :)

Chloe Simon at MMFA:

On May 13, an Atlanta TV news station reported that a Georgia woman who had been declared brain-dead was being kept on life support because she is pregnant, and her family said the hospital attributed the action to a restrictive state abortion law. Medical experts have noted that the case shows how restrictive abortion laws are failing both patients and health care providers. However, anti-abortion groups have attempted to reframe the story around the rights of the fetus and to downplay the role of Georgia’s restrictive abortion laws, an approach they’ve also used with other stories about pregnant patients who have died after struggling to obtain needed care in states with abortion bans.  Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old nurse and mother from Georgia, was declared brain-dead in February after suffering a medical emergency while about nine weeks pregnant. Even though that means she is legally dead, doctors at Emory University Hospital have kept her on life support in an effort to sustain the fetus to at least 32 weeks, telling her family that they are “legally required to keep Smith breathing until the fetus reaches viability,” as the Louisiana Illuminator described.  This decision seemingly has been driven by Georgia's strict abortion laws, which ban terminating a pregnancy once “fetal cardiac activity can be detected, or roughly six weeks into pregnancy.”  The office of Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has said the abortion law does not require “medical professionals to keep a woman on life support after brain death.” Some have instead claimed the governing factor in Smith’s case is Georgia’s Advance Directive for Health Care Act which restricts “doctors from withdrawing life support from a pregnant patient unless the fetus is nonviable and the patient had a written directive explicitly requesting such action." But hospital staff apparently based their action on the abortion law, citing it in explaining their decision to Smith’s mother, she said. The hospital has declined to publicly comment on the specific case, citing privacy rules.

Anti-abortion groups are “looking away or shirking blame” when confronted with such stories

Anti-abortion groups have repeatedly undermined reports of patients who reportedly became victims of their states’ restrictive abortion laws.  After ProPublica published stories of women in Georgia and Texas who died following delayed treatment in states with strict abortion laws, anti-abortion groups attacked the reports as a “complete lie” and claimed the women did not die due to abortion bans, instead pinning their deaths on “medical malpractice” and “neglect.” In fact, two women in Texas died after failing to get proper treatment post-miscarriage under the state’s abortion ban, and a woman in Georgia died after doctors waited 20 hours to perform a dilation and curettage. This may have been due to Georgia’s recent ban on the procedure, as CBS News reported that doctors in states with restrictive abortion laws have voiced concerns over “losing their medical license or being prosecuted if they break the law.”  Substack author Jessica Valenti explained the anti-abortion groups’ strategy toward these kinds of stories as “either looking away or shirking blame.” 

[...]

Some anti-abortion groups have tried to steer blame for Smith from the abortion law to Georgia’s life-support law. 

Live Action claimed that “despite public outcry, removing a pregnant woman from life support actually DOES NOT constitute an ‘abortion’ as defined by the Georgia LIFE Act,” and argued that the onus is on the Georgia life support law which “prevents removing a pregnant woman from life support.”  Secular Pro-Life also said that it is not “not clear Georgia's abortion law is actually the issue here. It's more likely that Georgia's law regarding withdrawing life support for pregnant patients is the issue.”  Other anti-abortion groups have taken the position of arguing for the rights of the unborn fetus.  Students for Life of America complained that “activists and media voices are pressuring her family to pull the plug—ending two lives,” and Secular Pro Life said that “pro-choicers have been too quick to assume babies can’t survive in cases like this—and that Adriana Smith’s family wouldn’t want to try.” 

Anti-abortion extremist groups such as Live Action and Students For Life of America grossly downplay the role of Georgia’s infamous anti-abortion ban (HB481) that Adriana Smith was declared “braindead” in the hospital.

Athens has launched legal action against Adidas for what appeared to be a drone show promoting the sports brand near the Acropolis.

The Greek culture minister said the show could constitute a breach of antiquities law.

Images circulating on social media depicted illuminated drones forming the Adidas logo and a shoe, with the Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage site, providing the backdrop.

The ancient citadel, home to the Parthenon Temple, a symbol of Athens' Golden Age, is one of the most visited sites globally.

Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said that the show exploited the Acropolis for commercial gain, violating national law and bypassing mandatory approval from the Culture Ministry.

"It's like the Adidas shoe kicking the Acropolis," Ms Mendoni told the local radio station Skai.

"A lawsuit has been already filed against anyone responsible."

Adidas has been approached, but declined to comment on the matter.

The culture ministry said it was also investigating whether the licensing procedure for the drone overflight had been followed.

The move comes weeks after Greece dismissed a request by director Yorgos Lathimos, known for the films The Favourite, Poor Things and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, to film scenes of his upcoming Bugonia movie on the Acropolis hill.

The science fiction comedy sees two conspiracists kidnap a CEO, played by Emma Stone, as they are convinced she is an alien.

Greece dismissed the filmmaker’s request on the grounds the film was incompatible with what the Acropolis symbolises.

Potential damage to the Ancient Greek monument has long been a concern of authorities.

In 2023, the country imposed a tourist cap, limiting visitor numbers at the Acropolis to 20,000 per day.

It previously received about 23,000 visitors per day at peak.

“That’s a huge number,” Ms Mendoni said at the time.

“Obviously tourism is desirable for the country, for all of us. But we must work out how excessive tourism won’t harm the monument.”

Limitations also vary depending on the time, with tourists having to book a time slot in advance.

THE TEACHER AU?!?! LMAO I'm a sucker for em but Ted falling first? Or is that just from his perspective?

okay so here's what i'm thinking for this au, there's probably never that oh i'm in love moment from either of their perspectives. there's an "oh i can trust this new guy" moment for ted but I want them to settle into their usually silly friendship

Mr. Carter and Mr. Kord are the teachers that go hard for spirit day, they are the accomplices to the senior prank, they are the teachers that volunteer to get pied in the face for fundraisers.

Mr. Kord is also the teacher that doesn't have late work deductions because it takes him ages to grade your stuff and hey he knows his students they're all also taking a million AP classes, the content is hard so he'll make the classroom producers easy.

Mr. Carter is that social studies teacher. We've all had that teacher at one point. They're usually a coach, super funny and joking around, doesn't do any intense projects, but you feel like you've learned something and actually look forward to being physically in class. You guys remember those teachers? Yeah that's Booster. He's probably reusing the slides from the last history teacher and he's just reading them off and doesn't really pause for questions (because his origin is the same he got suspended from college for a gambling scandal he doesn't know the content or the pedagogy) but he gives grace to all his students and grades easy. Is this a good way to teach? no, but he has high expectations for his students in other ways.

I think Booster and Ted have their like "oh god I'm in love with this idiot" moment when they're at school late grading papers and Ted is helping Booster because obviously this guy didn't pay attention during student teaching god who writes a lesson plan like this. And then as they're leaving, Ted just leans over and kisses him like it's the easiest thing in the world. they both go bright red, don't say a word and leave. and they don't talk about it the next day and both of them are in agony thinking oh god what does this mean. but they're just normal buddies during the day, but it keeps happening anytime they're alone, just a quick kiss that feels so natural and right followed by panic. until one of them finally says fuck it and kisses back. which really starts the drama of the story because oh god there's paperwork and procedures for this and only after Booster and Ted have gone on a proper date does Booster come clean about actually not being licensed to teach technically

also Rip Hunter is there as a unreasonably smart and unreasonably annoying foster kid. He really should be in the advanced classes to keep him busy, but he's a foster kid that's be bounced from school to school, his gpa is ass so he's stuck in Mr. Carter's awful history class and oh god that's so over simplified it's basically wrong mr carter turn off the power point let me explain please! Booster finds out that Rip is being moved to a different home again at the end of the semester along with his older "sister" (fellow foster kid he's sharing a home with) Rani who just wants to finish her senior year. Thus begins the poorly thought out speed run of getting certified to foster which might involve breaking more laws.

Hello, just discovered your blog and have gone through it I hope to not be an illiterate anon, apologies if i am, I'm very tired all the time. Your post appeared on my recommended and I'd like to respond.

If a doctor put a perfectly healthy person on chemotherapy because they walked into their office and said “I think I have cancer” that would be malpractice and the doctor would lose their license.

Let's check this. Quote from transcare https://transcare.ucsf.edu/transition-roadmap: "Requirements for a behavioral health evaluation and preparation in advance of chest and genital surgery, and the use of hormone therapy and presenting full time in one's chosen gender identity for 1 year before genital procedures, unless there is a medical or other reason that prevents meeting these requirements." What that means is kids do not just walk in at the first sight of dysphoria and ask. They've got to be committed to it for a year. What about dysphoria? How does one get diagnosed with it? Quote from mayo clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/symptoms-causes/syc-20475255#(sry if the link doesn't work) :

"Gender dysphoria might cause adolescents and adults to experience a marked difference between inner gender identity and assigned gender that lasts for at least six months."(bold mine) Six months. That's not just walking in and asking, that's again, a long time.

What if they regret it? There's an incredibly high regret rate. They're only kids, we know better than them. Well, those figures might have been exaggerated a little. Quote from transeqality "This study ( https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanchi/article/PIIS2352-4642(22)00254-1/fulltext ) found that 98% of youths prescribed puberty blockers went on to be prescribed hormone replacement therapy after turning 18." That means that 98 percent of kids knew they were trans and correct about it.

Quote from the same site "One Dutch study ( https://genderanalysis.net/2018/11/large-study-of-trans-people-in-the-netherlands-shows-growing-numbers-seeking-treatment-low-regret-rates/ ) of nearly 7,000 transgender people found that the rate of regret was less than 1% among those who received treatment as adults – and there were no cases of regret among those who received care before the age of 18."

To put that in perspective, 30 percent of people regret getting knee surgery https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2018/knee-replacement-surgery-regret.html

You claim to care about children? Check this out. https://www.thetrevorproject.org/survey-2022/ 45 percent of trans youth seriously considered suicide, and that number more than halved when they got support. Half.

Referral letters are required for a surgery. If a surgeon had a person who looked perfectly healthy come into their office and say "I have cancer, here's my proof of living in pain for 6 months, here's my proof of taking medicine, telling people I have cancer, my proof of going to support groups for my cancer, my cancer screenings, a signed letter from a specialist saying I have cancer, and one more for good measure." then the surgeon would get them surgery immediately because they do not specialise in cancer diagnosis. Yet this same thing happens for trans people all over the world where they're denied surgery by transphobic doctors.

Hi thanks for your thoughtful response. I have to disagree, though.

I have a couple of issues with your first point about surgeries and hormone therapy. First, one year is not that long to wait, especially if the person is a minor (and frankly this not should not even be an option for minors at all). If a perfectly healthy person walks into a doctor's office and says they have cancer and the doctor, instead of testing them for cancer, says "come back in a year and if you still feel that way we'll start chemotherapy" that's still malpractice.

Also, I would encourage you to listen to the testimonies of detransitioners because these "requirements" aren't always adhered to. One woman I was listening to who underwent transition as a minor said the first medical intervention she ever received was a double mastectomy.

And I wasn't just referring to surgeries and hormone replacement therapy with that post; I was also talking about puberty blockers. And if you consider Mayo Clinic a reliable source, this is what they list as the requirements for getting on puberty blockers.

In most cases, to begin using puberty blockers, an individual needs to:

Show a lasting pattern of gender nonconformity or gender dysphoria.

Have gender dysphoria that began or worsened at the start of puberty.

Address any psychological, medical or social problems that could interfere with the treatment.

Be able to understand the treatment and agree to have it. This is called informed consent.

This could all be accomplished in a single visit and just requires the doctor to ask a few questions.

"Gender dysphoria might cause adolescents and adults to experience a marked difference between inner gender identity and assigned gender that lasts for at least six months."(bold mine) Six months. That's not just walking in and asking, that's again, a long time.

No, six months is not a long time before diagnosing a severe mental illness where the next steps are essentially permanently altering your body.

And, mind you, this does not mean they have to be observed by a doctor for at least six months. It means it has to have been established that they have felt that way for at least six months. Meaning, a little boy can walk in and essentially the following exchange can take place:

Boy: I'm a girl

Doctor: How long have you felt that way?

Boy: About six months.

Doctor: Ok. I am diagnosing you with gender dysphoria.

Again, it can be diagnosed in a single visit. And btw, people can go through phases that last much longer than six months. That is nowhere near enough time to diagnose someone, especially a child, who is living in an environment where there gender confusion is being affirmed by the people around them, with gender dysphoria.

"What if they regret it? There's an incredibly high regret rate. They're only kids, we know better than them. Well, those figures might have been exaggerated a little. from transeqality "This study ( https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanchi/article/PIIS2352-4642(22)00254-1/fulltext ) found that 98% of youths prescribed puberty blockers went on to be prescribed hormone replacement therapy after turning 18." That means that 98 percent of kids knew they were trans and correct about it."

Ok so there's some important information being left out here and it's information that shows this study can't be really be a credible source of information for the rate of regret and it doesn't show that 98% of kids "knew they were trans and were correct about it."

First of all, the sample size of this study was only 720. Not that big. Most importantly, at the start of the treatment they were following the median age for boys was 14 and the median age for girls was 16. When they concluded the study the median age of boys was 20 and the median age of girls was 19 so this was only measured for about four or five years and can't be taken seriously as evidence of anything. Certainly not evidence that "98% of kids don't regret transitioning and know they are trans and are correct about it." That study is hardly long enough to show that children still consider themselves trans once they are adults.

This study, published in 2022, looked at a sample of about 1,000 individuals and found that the 4 year continuation rate of gender affirming hormone treatment is around 70%, which means the detransition rate is 30%. Not 1-2% like you suggest.

This study, while not a study on how many people detransition, looks at a number of people who have detransitioned (237, so not a lot) and reasons why they detransitioned. Here is a chart from the study showing that the main reason for detransitioning (70%) was realizing their gender dysphoria was related to other issues.

It's also worth noting that 45% of the people didn't feel "properly informed about the health implications of the accessed treatments and interventions before undergoing them."

This study also indicates that, at least for the detransitioners sampled, their detransitions happened approximately five years after they started their transition, which, interestingly, is right about the point of time the study you linked stops.

"Quote from the same site "One Dutch study ( https://genderanalysis.net/2018/11/large-study-of-trans-people-in-the-netherlands-shows-growing-numbers-seeking-treatment-low-regret-rates/ ) of nearly 7,000 transgender people found that the rate of regret was less than 1% among those who received treatment as adults – and there were no cases of regret among those who received care before the age of 18.""

This study was mostly following people who started transitioning when they were already adults and remember we're talking about kids here. And I don't know where you got the idea that "there were no cases of regret among those who received care before the age of 18" because I don't see that mentioned anywhere in the link you provided or the study itself. What I did see them mention was about 40% of the adolescents they evaluated started puberty blockers and then several stopped taking them without getting any further treatment.

"You claim to care about children? Check this out. https://www.thetrevorproject.org/survey-2022/ 45 percent of trans youth seriously considered suicide, and that number more than halved when they got support. Half."

I do care about children, but I don't trust the Trevor project. They are an activist organization and are only going to publish things that affirm their narrative, whether it's true or false. I suggest you look at data from both sides before taking the Trevor project at their word.

For example, I came across a paper that found an interesting phenomenon in the youth suicide rate.

In the past several years, the suicide rate among those ages 12 to 23 has become significantly higher in states that have a provision that allows minors to receive routine health care without parental consent than in states without such a provision. Before 2010, these two groups of states did not differ in their youth suicide rates. Starting in 2010, when puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones became widely available, elevated suicide rates in states where minors can more easily access those medical interventions became observable.

Rather than being protective against suicide, this pattern indicates that easier access by minors to cross-sex medical interventions without parental consent is associated with higher risk of suicide. 

This suggests that the Trevor project is not entirely accurate and the suicide rate among youth tragically rose after having access to "gender affirming care."

"Referral letters are required for a surgery. If a surgeon had a person who looked perfectly healthy come into their office and say "I have cancer, here's my proof of living in pain for 6 months, here's my proof of taking medicine, telling people I have cancer, my proof of going to support groups for my cancer, my cancer screenings, a signed letter from a specialist saying I have cancer, and one more for good measure." then the surgeon would get them surgery immediately because they do not specialise in cancer diagnosis. Yet this same thing happens for trans people all over the world where they're denied surgery by transphobic doctors."

So you mean the doctor has to have substantial evidence that someone has cancer before treating them? Like a screening? As opposed to simply confirming that they've felt that way for a long time?

And I'm sorry but using the phrase "transphobic doctors" takes credibility away from your entire message. This is why transphobic doesn't mean anything anymore. You just use it to refer to anyone who thinks gender dysphoria needs to be determined by more than someone simply saying they feel like the opposite sex and have for a long time. It's not "transphobic" for a doctor to determine a person doesn't need a sex change surgery. Doctors are there to observe and treat people's physical and mental health, not affirm their feelings. And it's incredibly petty and disingenuous to refer to a doctor who denies someone a surgery after they have supposedly gone through all the requirements you said had to be met that they are transphobic.

So let me ask you, if all those requirements for surgery aren't met and the person is denied the surgery how is the doctor transphobic? You assure me that all these strict requirements must be met before people surgically transition so it's not just happening to anyone who walks in but at the same time if anyone who wants the surgery doesn't qualify then the doctor is transphobic. You're not being consistent.

There are two sides to every story. Make sure you're not just looking at one.

Using Your Driver’s License as ID: What’s Allowed and What’s Not

In Canada, your driver’s license is more than just proof that you’re allowed to drive—it’s also one of the most commonly accepted forms of government-issued identification. Whether you're opening a bank account, verifying your age to purchase alcohol, or checking in at the airport, your driver’s license can serve as a reliable ID. However, there are limits to where and how it can be used. Understanding what’s allowed and what’s not when using your driver’s license as ID can help avoid legal or practical issues.

What’s Allowed: Common Uses of a Driver’s License as ID

Across Canada, your driver’s license is accepted in many places as proof of identity and age. This includes:

Retail stores for age-restricted purchases like alcohol, tobacco, and lottery tickets

Airports for domestic travel identification

Banks and financial institutions to verify your identity for transactions, account setup, and loan applications

Government offices when applying for services like health cards or SIN numbers

Hotels and car rental services as part of standard check-in and rental procedures

Voting (in some provinces) as part of confirming your identity at polling stations

In each of these cases, your driver’s license is used because it contains a photo, signature, date of birth, and address, all of which make it a comprehensive piece of identification.

What’s Not Allowed: Limitations of Your Driver’s License as ID

Despite its wide usage, there are scenarios where your driver’s license may not be accepted:

International travel: A Canadian driver’s license is not a travel document. It cannot replace a passport or visa when crossing international borders.

Proof of citizenship: Your driver’s license does not confirm your status as a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. You’ll need official documents like a passport, PR card, or citizenship certificate.

Certain legal processes: Some legal processes may require multiple forms of ID or more specific documents, such as a birth certificate or SIN card.

Online identity verification: While some services now accept digital scans of your driver’s license, others may reject it in favor of more secure, multi-step identity checks.

Digital Driver’s Licenses: Expanding the Possibilities

As more provinces move toward digital driver’s licenses, the ways in which your license can be used as ID may expand. Digital IDs offer increased security, flexibility, and privacy controls. You may be able to share only the necessary information (e.g., just your birth date to prove you're 19+) without revealing your full address or license number.

These advancements are paving the way for faster, safer, and more efficient ways to verify identity. But it’s still important to know the legal boundaries and ensure your license is valid, up to date, and stored securely, whether physical or digital.

We offer practice tests, up-to-date study guides, and helpful information about the driver’s licensing process in every province.
