The same way US Bus Companies found ways of 'welcoming' black passengers in the 1960s? By continuing to segregate them?

Why would Trump want UK troops when not long ago he was saying they didn't pull their weight.

Nah, his war, his troops.

Perhaps he could conscript his 'highly trained' and 'patriotic' ICE agents and send them to fight in the middle east instead. 😏

I suppose if things get really heated the US could conscript all those 'highly trained' and 'patriotic' ICE agents and send them to fight in the middle east. 😏

Exactly.

Curious why they don't make the WI trans inclusive but have a separate "Sisterhood" group for the segregationist bigots.

Though that couldn't happen if their main intent was to exclude us transes.

New "Sisterhood" groups.

"You can join, but only if you're in a separate group from our actual organization. It'll be equal, I'm sure; we'll call them 'Separate but Equal' Sisterhood groups.

"For your dignity and respect, of course."

It sounds like there's someone high up who's bought into the GCIM whereas the grassroots was very trans inclusive.

Maybe there's room for WI 2.0 under a new name and management team?

They think voters are stupid and don't see through it. Yet ever since they've adopted this campaign their support has collapsed.

It just highlights the utter contempt they hold for us all.

Every decade the US has a war with an oil producing nation.

Usually with the result of putting the oil price up which then causes a worldwide recession.

If you can, get an EV.

They don't outright refuse care, they ignore, downplay and blame anything connected with the issue on your meds or GRS etc.

Had one interrogate me on why I was on Finasteride and wouldn't let go. Told him it was issued by a consultant, yet he demanded WHY. When I told him he went 'weird' with me.

I've had the healthcare refusal thing last year.

It's pathetic yet the NHS closes ranks if you dare to even mention it.

Trans Lives 2025: Continuing to endure the UK’s hostile environment – TransActual

"In a UK survey of over 4,000 trans people, TransActual found that 99% say media coverage has harmed their mental health, 99% have heard politicians express transphobic views, and many have been refused non-transition healthcare simply for being trans."

I fear Kansas is a dry run for other US States, and also likely the UK too.

I imagine they know who we already, regardless of any markers.

Worrying times.

How did this happen if they weren't actively trying to track down trans people?

In the re-run, this is still only early 1934.

No reason to ever go. I guess the only time is if I want a can of pop, but paying Β£2.50 for a small bottle of coke isn't part of my plans.

Remember when you had a petrol car and you'd eagerly eye the price board on every petrol station to see if you could save 20p a tank by filling up there?

And now it's not something you even consider - ever.

Fabulous meme with two horses, one on each side. Title on one says "Being Gay" and shows a white union, the other says "Being attracted to men" and shows a dirty old horse photographed in such a way to show a dirty old chimney smoking out of its head.

In America. But America is not the world.

In Europe Ford's new model lineup pretty much all have EV options. Same with Vauxhall/Opel who used to be GM. Other brands are the same. It's cheaper to make an EV than force a petrol to comply with the upcoming Euro7 emissions.

Though some audiophile plants do print off quality runs.

Half speed mastered LPs running at 45 rpm can sound nice but you only get two tracks per side generally.

What everyone else said. Also, the manufacturing plants are generally ancient and just about hanging in there as well as being few in number, so quality ain't what it used to be.

Most people who buy vinyl seem to listen to it on cheapo turntables, so mastering quality isn't what it should be.
