Trans people are already used to travelling for surgeries
A bit hard to pull off for a 14 year old girl, without the approval of the parents.

and not because you have access to information that hasn't been made public
Oh please, why should anyone expect judges make their decisions based on non-public information, rather than tribalism and ideology?

Hot damn, that is indeed too spicy even for my tastes.
Not quite. When I don't give food to the homeless, I just don't give them food. Maybe someone else does, maybe they go to a church-run soup kitchen, but I don't put a bullet in their head.
So no, the comparison fails, and once more I wonder how the Elite Human Capital had the hubris to unironically use the name.

Ironically men are attending church more than women now, the previous trend os just barely inverted.
Because they converted to another religion, which is conveniently not tracked by church attendance, as it's pretending to not be a religion.

The Antipopulist is literally the nerd emoji who goes around saying, 'if we replace all the MAY with SHALL, that TOTALLY restores the legitimacy of the system.
Yes, I know. My point is that Gattsuru can, and does, show that irrespective of the hostility he exhibits, and therefore the hostility is unnecessary, and only drags the quality of the discourse down.

"Nothing ever happens" is a completely valid sentiment, more valid than all the proclamations of all the academic experts combined, in fact. Also, people don't chime in with "I agree" comments over here. People only responds in agreement, when a comment is exceedingly insightful, otherwise they tend to respond with disagreements, which you can observe in this very instance.

There's some largish subset of Gen-Z women who are claiming that in their daily lives, they almost never see 'hot' men out and about, and the vast majority of the men they do see are hopelessly ugly, don't take care of themselves, and are just horribly unattractive, meanwhile they also claim that most of the women they see are gorgeous, well-put-together, and otherwise "hot" and thus deserve better partners than they've got.
Look, listen, I'm broadly sympathetic to the points you're raising about relationships for younger people, but this ain't it. Women are more religious than men, and this just so happens to be a religious belief that they have to proclaim even in anonymous surveys, but that doesn't mean they actually believe it. See: Lizzo is beautiful, right up until you call a woman beautiful just like Lizzo.

What I always wanted to know is, having bitten that bullet, how do they justify not biting the bullet on infanticide, or extermination of the non-self-sufficient.

I live in Texas, with probably the strictest abortion laws among high income countries(maybe Liechtenstein?).
Come now, there are countries that don't even make rape exceptions.

You could imagine a similar justification being fielded in a hypothetical world in which some subset of people is greatly concerned about the evil of pet owners murdering their pet dogs, and so every time a dog dies police have to investigate if the owner may have killed it deliberately.
And nothing about the argument strikes you as the slightest bit odd? Murder is illegal, does every death result in a murder investigation? Would the police force that spent the last couple of decades sweeping Muslim rape gangs under the rug go full-crackdown on miscarriages? Please.

At one point, Pierre Poilievre's odds of winning went from <1% to 5% for ~30 mins after every major news organization had called the election against him
Was that before or after the tariff spat? There was a point where it seemed like Poilievre had the election in the bag, and it would be weird for his chances to be so low.
Also, even if it was afterwards, it's not necessarily as stupid as you make it out to be. Polls are used to shape opinion as much as they're used to measure it. There's a reason why parties do internal polling.

So does something like half of MAGA, which makes it kind of awkward for this entire argument.

That's not a very Elite Human Capital take. Suffice to say, Europe is not America, and if you try transferring American cultural mores there (which is exactly what this policy is), you're might have a bad time (though it's also not guaranteed).

I voluntarily took a pretty big paycut to avoid gibs. Admittedly, I am not exactly of a pure heart here, as I was enjoying said gibs for quite a while, but I claim partial credit for eventually refusing them.

I never seen somoeone get under your skin quite so much.
I understand the frustration, but you don't need the explicit hostility to make your point. Even if your every word was coated in pure sugar, it would be hard not to reach the same conclusion as you did.

They're brittle and tend to shatter rather than undergo painful reforms.
What do you call Chile, Singapore, South Korea, or Taiwan, if not "undergoing painful reforms"?
Hybrid regimes like those in the Sahel or Central America
Calling them "hybrid" sounds like cope to avoid accountability for the failures of the system.
The biggest threat to democracies is rarely a big civil war, but rather descending into Orbanism.
The biggest threat to democracies is getting locked into a path constant deterioration that can't be plausibly changed through voting, like South Africa.

In the sense that they eventually we got some semblance of coherent resistance to them? Not sure how that refutes the comparison to the Mongol Horde.

I'd say we're still plenty tribal, but I think we successfully avoided NPC-brain.
Are mastectomies really that expensive? Aren't there a good deal of insurance companies that cover it?
In any case, my argument is one I've made before: many parents are Milgram Experiment-ed into it. If they want to travel to California to lob their daughter's breasts off, it's their choice, but if the practice is locally illegal, they'll probably figure out they don't have to listen to the psychopath in the labcoat.
