That's your issue, not hers.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Aye, it is.
Against the waves, with our swords in our hands
Against the sea, with our backs to the walls
Against distress, in the presence of our enemies
Against the storms, roaring at our faces

A cry rang out throughout the skies
A beckon, the flight of the cranes

The call of the mountains
The call of the Alps
The call home
The tune in our hearts
The song of the mountains

What's that stir, so blatant in our sallying hearts?
What's that urge, that lifted up our longing eyes?
What's that ring, echoing from the leaden skies?
What's that augur, resounding from the lyre's strings?

A cry rang on in the sibilant winds
A behest, the outcry of the cranes
Don't take life so serious... It isn't permanent...
Freedom from religion is an integral part of Freedom of religion

I just meant it's different to have to live with the wonderful way society treats trans people vs just saying it here. I might not be conveying myself well, I more refer to lately people seem to have taken the notion being trans is "fun" which it is anything but and if I could stop is kill to do so.

I'm an industrial repair tech in training. Journeymen training level but little experience starts off around $15 to $20 an hour and due to overtime will be around 40 to 70K a year as a rookie dependent on two things, the employer they landed with and overtime policies at said company. Some companies like Denso cap overtime at 2 hours a day as to prevent overwork and overuse injuries. Workers there may be closer to the lower to middle end of the range.

I haven't seen anyone here make light of trans issues, so while you do have a point, generally speaking, I'm not sure if it's entirely relevant. I think everyone's aware that it's not easy, and perhaps you're mistaking comfort with casual.

See, that's the thing. Nsg has all these threads to argue in. TET's softer. Until repeat offenders, and yes Kannap I'm looking at you, barge in with unnecessary aggravation. Aren't we fucking tired of drama? No? Bloody hell.

I'm kind of in agreement, here. Save the heavier stuff for other NSG threads, where it can be easier contained and discussed.
