Out of the loop here, so let me get this straight: Did they build gender-neutral bathrooms that are now gendered by placing a sticker on the door? What on earth could be the purpose of that?

I think that’s still tricky. For instance, most parts of the world have few Japanese migrants, yet Japanese restaurants are almost everywhere. Usually these are owned by other Asian migrants. This is clearly profiteering, but I don’t see it as particularly problematic.

It’s neither a newspaper, nor liberal.

There is no such thing as a “liberal” media. All media is protecting vested interests. Take the Washington Post, once considered one of the most liberal newspapers which has suddenly switched sides, because it better fits it’s owners interest.

There is however a strong pro-Israel lobby. The fact that they release this footage now reveals that we are indeed close to a ceasefire.

It seems like you don’t care about what people think, conditional on them being somewhat accepting of your choices. For instance, until recently you could easily lose your job because students/parents found out you are gay. Trans people still face this reality in many states, and we are currently much more likely to regress than to progress.

With regard to the toilet: especially female-to-male trans people face a big issue that they look male (and are hence considered predators in female toilets), but are banned from using male toilets. This may seem like a minor issue if you aren’t affected, but in practice it’s a big deal.

Weird question. You aren’t affected by it, until you are I guess. For instance, can you take your partner to company events where others bring their partners? Can you take the toilet that fits your gender identity? How will your boss/coworkers feel about you when they inevitably find out about your sexual orientation? Nice that you think you can separate your identity from your job, but let’s see how your coworkers feel.

We have to distinguish between Jack Smith who started in 2022, and was extremely unlucky with respect to court decisions, and Garland who wasted 2 years before appointing Smith.

The bigger issue is that it’s quite easy to “hide” that you are foreign. To do so, simply set up a holding in Spain that buys the house on your behalf.

Sure, or enamelled cast iron.

I guess that greatly depends on your teacher. However, I will say that “doing the numbers” and understanding are pretty strongly correlated in math. BTW the same goes for English literature where reading more books greatly increases your understanding.
