Yes. Nobody cares what they do or who they are. No--they have to make a "religion" of their "gender issues" and you better believe OR ELSE!

Nahhhhh. That's your problem.

A significant number of Trans people feel a need to display and be on display. Why else do you need drag queen story hours? But it’s not just the troons. Many trans men feel a need to post topless pictures, complete with mastectomy scars. The half dozen trans men I know are walking talking caricatures of a ridiculous stereotype of what’s manly. They curse all the time are always in frigging tank tank tops or topless, have ridiculous beards coming in, and swagger when they move like they are the cock of the walk. It’s as offensive of a stereotype performance as Dylan Mulvaney.

I’ve experienced something similar. I bike around Seattle often - if I see someone in knee high socks, plaid shirts and a crop top from afar it’s more often than not a trans person when they get close.

I missed the first post/tweet. They should just copy/paste that into local/state/fed regulations, very well said. This part, in particular was poignant: these are cosmetic procedures that come with no promises to relieve dysphoria or unlock an authentic self and the cost is borne solely by the person seeking them

Finley’s been telling everybody that he’s a secret agent. Should I just drop him off at Langley? What’s the procedure, here?

Becoming a secret agent—often called an intelligence officer or field operative—typically means working for a government intelligence agency like the CIA (USA), MI6 (UK), CSIS (Canada), or other national security organizations. Here's a general roadmap if you're seriously interested:
Step-by-Step: How to Become a Secret Agent
1. Understand What It Really Means
Being a "secret agent" isn't all Hollywood glamour. It often involves:
- Long hours, stress, and secrecy
- International travel, foreign languages, and surveillance
- Analytical, cultural, or tech-heavy work—not always guns and car chases
2. Meet the Basic Requirements
Most agencies require:
- Citizenship: You must be a citizen of the country whose agency you’re applying to.
- Clean background: No serious criminal record, drug use, or concerning affiliations.
- Education: A bachelor’s degree or higher, often in fields like international relations, political science, cybersecurity, linguistics, or law.
- Physical & mental fitness: You'll undergo medical, psychological, and possibly polygraph evaluations.
3. Develop Relevant Skills
Focus on:
- Languages (especially critical ones like Arabic, Russian, Mandarin, Farsi)
- Analytical thinking
- Cultural competence
- Cybersecurity, cryptography, or intelligence analysis
- Physical fitness and situational awareness
4. Build a Credible Resume
Jobs or internships in:
- Military or law enforcement
- Foreign service or diplomatic corps
- Think tanks or global NGOs
- Intelligence or defense contractors
5. Apply Through Official Channels
Examples:
- CIA (U.S.): cia.gov
- MI6 (UK): mi6.gov.uk
- FBI (for domestic intelligence in the U.S.): fbijobs.gov
- NSA: Focuses more on signals intelligence and cybersecurity
Applications are confidential, competitive, and can take 6–18 months.
6. Pass the Screening Process
You may undergo:
- Multiple rounds of interviews
- Extensive background checks
- Psychological evaluations
- Security clearance investigations
️ A Few Important Notes
- You cannot become a real "secret agent" without being officially recruited and cleared.
- Talking openly about your desire to be a spy could hurt your chances.
- Agencies look for discretion, maturity, loyalty, and judgment.
If you're young, start preparing now—learn a language, get a relevant degree, and avoid reckless behavior online or offline.
Want to role-play or explore fictional spy training too? I can help with that as well.

I suppose you would not be taking her to see "Death of a Unicorn," the movie?
