Seeing news articles along the lines of "we need to take back pride from radical activists."
Like, dude, we are celebrating the anniversary of when butch lesbians, trans women, drag queens, homeless gay kids, and queer prostitutes chased cops into the Stonewall they were kicked out of -- AND THEN TRIED TO SET THE PLACE ON FIRE. With the cops inside.
I'm trying to figure out how that wasn't radical activism, but trans people asking for human rights is too radical. Fuck that.

The most common gender affirming surgery is breast augmentation -- in cis (non-trans) women.
The regret rate is around 20%.
Gender affirming surgeries in trans people have around a 1% regret rate.
Guess which people need approval from a mental health provider...

If I have to prove I'm not a computer by identifying traffic lights and busses, perhaps we're not quite ready for self-driving cars.
