Of course there are individuals who regret it. There are individuals who regret any decision one can possibly make in life. But it's worth noting that, statistically, the regret rates for gender affirming surgeries are among the lowest of any medical intervention done anywhere in the world, by a large margin.

I know you've heard their stories, because there are people with very specific agendas who are dedicated to weaponizing their stories. But it's useful to remember that the plural of "anecdote" is not "data".

The bigots are the people that refuse to leave people who aren't hurting anyone alone.

Your "concerns" are bullshit, only meant to justify your interference in other people's lives.

That's a really good question. Didn't he just forfeit that title on Monday?

Nothing about the situation you described is normal or acceptable.

The Devil is back.

CNN maybe, but the NYT has been hammering him on the age issue for years at this point.

No jokey lower third... Hangman truly has gone black hat, hasn't he?

Oh god, we have to hear from Jericho all night now.

Mercedes and The Elite are a perfect match.

YAY WILLOW!

NOTHING MATTERS!

SMILE ANYWAY!

Between Sunday and this... We don't deserve Bryan Danielson.

It's always raccoon fighting time in my heart.

Phew. I was afraid they'd move to Sam Adams or something since they fetishize the Founders so much, and I'd have to give up something I actually like.

I was thinking the wildcard would be Hangman since The Elite claimed he was their guy, but then they showed that vignette for Hangman on Collision and now I'm not sure. If he was the wildcard, they wouldn't have tipped their hand like that, would they?

I agree. If they're going for face with Moné, it's really not working. Her whole persona screams arrogant heel.

What media have you been looking at? The only thing I've seen about Biden for months has been about how he's too old. And occasionally a bit about him supporting Israel, whether that's presented in a positive or negative light.

Which just means we need to make it harder on companies to placate these loud pieces of shit.

Oh, I'm definitely not saying that there had to be intention behind it. After all, it's a consequence I never thought of, so I'm sure whoever made that decision at Spotify never did either. But then, they're supposed to be paid to think of consequences like this.

I guess the question is, if a decision screws disabled people in the pursuit of more money, does it really matter if the disabled people were deliberately targeted, or if they're just collateral damage?

I don't know. If we were talking about Netflix making captions a premium feature that requires an extra fee, I'd think that's pretty skeevy and ableist. I hadn't thought about lyric sheets being an accommodation until OP brought it up, but now that they did, I'm kind of putting it in the same bucket.

Sure, but if that's causing a difference in access for people with a disability like OP, then that becomes an ADA issue.
