Actual education could make your never a reality. But I guess from what I have been seeing, trans kids also use bathrooms and do sports so we might as well toss education into a dumpster. Because that's somehow a solution.

I mean, the UAW just kicked some c-suite ass.

Things just take time to change.

We have what you could refer to as a Gordian knot of interconnected societal problems. You can try to fix any one of them, but any solution will be hamstrung in the absence of a solution to a bunch of other ones.

For example, local live music scenes in cities across the US have been suffering for some time, and part of the reason is because bar revenue has gone down a lot. And part of the reason for that is because you can't drink as much if you have to drive home. And you have to drive home from the show because the public transit options to get there suck ass, and that's because our cities are too spread out, there's not enough residential or commercial density, and the roads have too many car lanes, and they're too wide, so everyone drives too fast on them and everything is too far apart to walk to, so no matter where you put your public transit, it's going to serve a small fraction of the people it should. And all of that is just one tiny microcosm of the problem: in order to revitalize the music scene in your city, you have to first fix its zoning laws, transit, and housing policies. It's enough to make you want to go see Gordian Knot on tour with Cattle Decapitation, except tickets are being sold via Ticketmaster so good fucking luck getting any.
