The agreed upon science is that gender dysphoria is a mental issue. No more than a man thinking that he's a dog, he'd be classified as insane. There can be studies into why some people have this condition, perhaps it could be due

They're two very different things. Flight is obviously possible because the inherent laws of physics allow it, and we observed other creatures do it. How are you going to take a grown man, whose physical traits are obviously different

> And on top of it I get a better deal if I use no insurance at all for prescriptions. Interesting. So is it also the case that you can "negotiate" medicine prices? Is the actual price then different from what is on the tag?

Right, just remind me when we're able to change the physical construct after it has already been constructing. It's literally impossible. Might as well change a banana into a fly by "changing the source code".

It won't happen. A man who pretends to be a woman still carries XY chromosomes. This is a fundamental reality with no way around it.

The other appeal is that is it not a currency that is controlled at the whim of the government who artificially controls inflation, ensuring that people's hard work goes down the drain just because the government feels like it.

Other than C++, and perhaps Rust, all major industry languages compile fairly quickly. As far as I'm aware, this discussion is moot.

Once again, we see why an interest and inflation based economy is unsustainable. It's scary to think about what is going to happen in the future when it all implodes.

Are you referring to the loan-based "financial aid"? This is one of the most hypocritical terms I came across. It's a loan, not an aid. An aid would directly reduce the amount of money you have to pay (discounts, scholarships
