I agree—If science says a young person's brain is still developing in their 20s, then such decisions should never be made whilst a teen! Common sense IMHO.
“Canadian health care faces similar issues around treating transgender teenagers as a controversial British clinic and needs to “slow down” and not move patients so readily to medical transition, says a leading expert in the field.”

In addition to recent price cuts, today I further decreed: the warranty for all laptops sold is now 5 years, instead of 3. Warranties extended +2 years for people whose 3-year warranty were still valid today.
The laptops come with coreboot, which replaces proprietary BIOS/UEFI, and Debian Linux as the default operating system.
I sell coreboot, and coreboot accessories. https://minifree.org/

“Amnesty’s apology suggests such pressure campaigns have an effect and will lead to increased self-censorship – in a situation where the evidence already indicates that there is a great deal of self-censorship, as Rovera pointed out.
The apology betrays the civilians who have been, and will be, used as human shields – putting them in lethal danger – over the coming months and potentially years of fighting. It means Ukrainian forces will feel even less pressure to rein in behaviour that amounts to a war crime.
Amnesty would never apologise to Russian partisans offended by a report on Russian war crimes. Its current apology indicates to the victims of Ukrainian human rights abuses that they are less worthy than the victims of Russian abuses.”

Despicable the way #germany is treating this family – all because the daughter is simply reporting the truth as a journalist.
Despite reporting the fact that Ukraine is threatening all of Europe by bombing its own nuclear power plant, nevertheless Russia is to blame. This is no different than the sea mines that were distributed near the Ukrainian coast which have now meandered down the Black Sea towards Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. Even though it's clear that Ukraine did this to protect themselves from an invasion that was never even planned, it is still Russia's fault.

Regarding the #Salmanrushdie attack, wasn't the fatwa against him rescinded?
Ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante goes AGAINST the mainstream and CLAIMS Moscow is WINNING as he says EFFECTIVE Russian war strategy FITS EXACTLY what Americans are TAUGHT in colleges, ADMITTING that USA doesn't have ANY economic interests in #Ukraine as Washington continues to PUMP Kiev with BILLIONS (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/2838) in military aid.
