instead of braces, you can get surgery and fix your jaw that way, which will also move your jaw forward and (maybe, i guess?) eliminate the need for a chin enhancing implant

there’s not like a problem if you do get braces, but you could kill two birds with one stone instead of spending the time and effort on braces and then getting chin enhancing FMS

if you like your chin and don’t plan to get FMS, just get braces, though

honestly first good use of “slams” in a headline

Astonishingly, the ruling specifies that what it calls “women living in the male gender”—i.e., trans men, and cis women whose appearance is deemed masculine—“could also be excluded” alongside cis men, from women’s spaces. “Not being allowed into the mens by rule does not mean you have the right to go into the ladies,” clarified the leading anti-trans campaigner Maya Forstater; “That may seem unfair, but these are life choices people make. If you make extreme efforts to look like a man don’t be surprised if you are denied entrance to ladies.” Forstater’s comments underscore the ultimate goal of TERFs and other transphobes: to expunge trans people from public life.

that’s crazy they really secured the right to kick ANYONE out of a “woman’s space” and said “it’s not my problem if you can’t go anywhere”. so much for not being transphobic, they won’t even give us “separate but equal”

mississippi is fuuuuuuucked (up):

Mississippians as young as 17 years old (for boys) and 15 years old (for girls) may get married. They may have a child and choose a name for that child. But the courts denied the name change request of SBM, a trans man with the full support of his parents in his transition, because they found 18 years old is not an adequate age to ensure “maturity” and warrant such a “life-altering” decision.

Unlike most states, Mississippi’s “age of majority,” or the age where the state recognizes someone as an adult, is 21, not 18. This means Mississippians under 21 years old cannot enter legally binding contracts in many instances, without parental sign-off.

…

In addition, it threatens to thrust Mississippians of all backgrounds into the epicenter of a constitutional crisis. The ruling and its rollout could call the 26th Amendment into question, which lowered the voting age to 18 after the mass conscription of young people during the Vietnam War. It also tests the Full Faith and Credit Clause, which requires states to respect the records-keeping of other states (such as name changes and marriage licenses); Mississippians’ 14th Amendment right to due process; and an individual’s First Amendment rights.

they didn’t just override the trans boy but also his parents LMAO this is so fucked up
