The good news is, as you see, all of these things passed the house because Dems have the majority. The bad news is they might not pass in the Senate if this is indicative of how the GOP will vote.

“transition poses some ethical questions. Such as, from what age should you be allowed to irreversibly change your body.“

This of course completely ignores the fact that puberty makes irreversible changes to your body. But let us just rephrase the question: “from what age do you gain bodily autonomy?” Now it gets very easy to answer: From the moment you’re fucking born.

I personally wouldn’t mind if congress and Biden forgave student loans, but I cannot accept the argument that “student loan reprieves aren’t helping”.

I simply can’t.

I’m talking to people fresh out of college who’ve been able to save thousands more than I ever could, because they haven’t had to make a student loan payment yet.

I’m talking to 20 somethings who are able to purchase their first car, because they didn’t have to pay a student loan payment yet. They were able to take the ‘riskier’ job instead of accepting what they could find first, because they had time to breathe without those payments.

Shit, if I didn’t have to make my student loan payments for 20 months and no interest charges, that would’ve been $5000 straight in my pocket. My anxiety would’ve been down dramatically if I got a near 2-year reprieve.

Don’t act like these extensions are nothing, because for many people, they’ve been life-changing.
