Ahh well what you are telling me makes sense and it's not like something that's being blown out of proportion. I will have to consider this new information. You made a persuasvie argument today.
supreme court overrules korematsu but in trump v hawaii justice sotomeyer wrote in the dissent that the majority essentially reinforced the legal foundation for exclusionary acts. while i doubt under current circumstances something as bad as concentration camps could happen there is a legal framework and a fomenting political anger in the right that genuinely makes me fearful for any minority groups. we might not see concentration camps but we very well could see targeted legislation. i think even reductions in gender affirming care qualify and despite the harm they cause are not even the worse legislation i could reasonably see being passed
18:37
I agree, the possibility is indeed there. I just see no indication of it happening.
18:40
Man, so do you guys think if Trump gets back in office he is going to halt gender affirming surgery in the military again?
18:42
i believe so. he did it once, he could do it again
18:42
i feel like his takes on trans people have only gotten worse since 2017
18:42
Yeah, seems obvious to me. That may be true. He's kinda angry rn cus of the whole prosecution thing.

My OU status went to accepted today but no call/email. Is that normal?
StandingOnBusiness

From what I hear, that's what happened to most who were admitted today.

23:58
They typically like to call to tell someone they were admitted but maybe they didn't for whatever reason?
