“No one, whether you’re trans or not, wants the federal government digging through your identifiable patient information and figuring out what they like and don’t like,” Hack said. “It’s an absolute overreach, and people are really scared.”

    if Platner wants to walk the walk as an anti-imperialist candidate I hope he can show it

    Same. I hope he’s as serious as he sounds and not just some Joe Rogan “I’ll say whatever my audience wants to hear” meathead. At this point, it’s too late to do much else except hold my breath and pray.

    I don’t like him as a person from what I’ve seen from him

    I mean, he’s a thug from Maine. I like him way better than Susan Collins or Janet Mills, who are just a pair of snakes in flesh suits. But I have to assume there’s a heart beating under that tattoo big enough to feel regret for his early life and contrition enough to do better in the future.
