I don’t think you have to be an expert to know that the Irish Potato Famine wasn’t a situation where potato’s were all there were to eat. I think you just have to be someone who didn’t fail out in the 5th grade.

No one is saying that it will be deadly, always. What depriving a trans person from gender affirming care does is make them miserable, drive them towards unhealthy coping mechanism and raises suicidality.

But the care results in no reduction in suicidality.

They’ve targeted civilians, including 40 people at a US Embassy.

It’s targeting the militant based on his phone.

Have you ever worked in emergency medicine or been in an accident? Someone could have been hit with shrapnel and hid it due to sheer adrenaline. People have been shot in mass shootings and had limbs bit off by sharks and not really "noticed." It's entirely possible to keep going/dissociate from an injury if you think that the bombing event will continue, if you're still in danger, if you think acknowledging your wound will put you in danger. Or if you think people will assume your innocent kid that got killed was a terrorist, you might want to lie about how they died so you can have a nice funeral and people won't remember them like that or accuse your family of being terrorists.

Ok, can we talk about things that aren’t made up, now? Israel didn’t send sharks to Lebanon.

That’s an insane misapprehension of the potato famine

The fascists have breached the social contract of tolerance with their disinformation campaign

I don’t think there was ever a “social contract” where we agreed that you couldn’t send things through the mail that weren’t socially determined to be “true”, but if we ever did, you’re violating the compact by describing gender reassignment treatment as “lifesaving” when the best evidence on the issue is that it’s neutral at best.
