Like as a man on t for over a year I can assure you I did not magically become an androgynous twink and instead am becoming a mildly androgynous girlboy bear with a lot of acne and a killer stache

We aren't stopping you from romanticising your transition; we are explicitly telling you to prepare for the realistic effects of t, such as weight gain, hair loss/hairline definition, and masculinisation. If you come from a long line of bald, fat, sweaty men, then that will probably be you one day. It is perfectly okay never medically to transition, but if you aren't sure you want the possible effects of testosterone, or can't afford to go bald, then ask yourself if you should go on T without exhausting other options.

If you don't want bottom growth, there are other options. If you only want a deep voice, there are other options. If you cannot handle the possibility that you won't be "conventionally teenage attractive," then there are OTHER OPTIONS.

I've also seen people idolise men who are very much done with puberty as their transition goals who get upset when they still look pubescent one year on t which is??? Like puberty usually takes 3 to 5 YEARS you gotta WAIT lmao

Native children are literally taken, almost always no reason other than suspicions of not being able to take care of their kids, and families have to fight to get their kids back, if theyre able to get their kids back at all.

It's often years long, traumatizing the child in the process!

The government will harass and harass and come up with every little reason why you aren't a "suitable parent" trying to break you, wanting you to just give up and surrender your child to the system.

Then, they adopt these kids out to white families, so they're Seperated from their culture.

To look away from this is despicable. Our culture is under attack, yes, as is our way of life and our ability to raise a family. But the further subjugation of the native people of this land and the further theft of their culture can never be the answer.

Facebook post from Matt Norris.

Post reads like a conversation between 2 people:

Prison labor is a problem we need to address soon.

Convicts in prison should have to work like the rest of us.

You mean like slavery?

No, we’re giving them 3 meals and a bed, at our expense, while they just sit around and watch TV. They should have to work!

Right. Like slavery.

It’s not like slavery!

Can they leave?

No.

Can they refuse work?

No.

So how exactly isn’t this slavery?

We DO pay them!

Do we pay in accordance with labor laws?

No. We pay them between 33 cents and $1.41/hour with a maximum daily wage below $5, then take up to half of that as room&board fees and victim compensation.

Right. So like slavery.

BUT.

No.

Below URL image reads “fun bonus fact: enough of our labor market currently relies on labor at these depressed rates, that it has a substantial downward pressure on both wages and job availability in low-skilled sectors. Immigrants aren’t taking your jobs. Slavery is.

End description.

I’d also like to add it’s not just private prisons. It’s also private detention centers where ICE keeps the immigrants.

It’s not even covert. It’s blatant and overt. It’s even called slavery in the constitution.

“Slavery is illegal except as punishment for a crime.”

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

People just don’t care because they think it’s all murderers and rapists, despite the fact that the number of violent criminals in jail is so small it might as well be negligible.

As of September 30, 2009 in federal prisons, 7.9% of sentenced prisoners were incarcerated for violent crimes,[39] while at year end 2008 of sentenced prisoners in state prisons, 52.4% had been jailed for violent crimes.[39] In 2002 (latest available data by type of offense), 21.6% of convicted inmates in jails were in prison for violent crimes. Among unconvicted inmates in jails in 2002, 34% had a violent offense as the most serious charge. 41% percent of convicted and unconvicted jail inmates in 2002 had a current or prior violent offense; 46% were nonviolent recidivists.[46]

It’s literally slavery, just dumbass racists and capitalists don’t care enough to figure out why we’re calling it that.

Folks.
