Silentiea

I think it's at least hyperbole. The consequences aren't the same, aren't even equivalent, but there are still negative consequences.

Or look at the women you think look good, and masculinize it. Women's outfits aren't all inherently womenly or anything, and even a dress or something can be made more manly if you need to and you're willing to exercise that creative muscle.

Well I mean there's only like 8 billion other people, so certainly no one else has ever felt like me before.

I guess I just automatically jumped to the part that affected me personally the most....

That makes sense, but a lot of the same points apply. No one thought J.D. was a girl or told him he was delusional for believing he wasn't. I do get that it was obviously meant to be demeaning there, but almost certainly not for a "you aren't who you think you are" way, but rather "girls are silly and you're silly so you're a girl" way. Casual misogyny: not really better than casual transphobia, but still a separate thing.

The distress JD feels when belittled thusly isn't because someone really believes he is wrong and bad for thinking he's a man, but because Cox doesn't respect him as a doctor and has the erroneous belief that calling him a woman's name conveys that somehow.

Same. They keep trying to get us to switch to their new "unlimited" plans that are more money for less unlimited...

...never doubted their gender...

I'm assuming

Why target the consumer and not the source?

If for no other reason than it doesn't have to be either/or. If you can meaningfully reduce demand for a "product" as noxious as CSAM, you should expect the rate of production to slow. There are certainly efforts in place to prevent that production from ever being done, and to prevent it from being shared/hosted once it is, but I don't think attempting to reduce demand in this way is going to hurt.

Worth noting that, by convention, "i.e." is usually in lower case, and only capitalized when the words themselves would be, i.e. at the start of a sentence.

Edit: typo

Haha, yeah, I don't use Facebook or anything, but my partner absolutely uses marketplace and "buy nothing" groups on there.

Rock on.

Yeah. But on the other hand, isn't civics sort of a technology too? Policies were invented, no?

I guess you could say the UBI has already been invented, but I think practical implementation is important too. Same as if I'd said we should do fusion power or something.
