I don't have money for hobbies any more.
My villain arc would look like "edgy basement dweller who writes disturbing accelerationist novels."
Spread Information...not panic! When reporting or signal boosting potential threats, provide as much quality information as possible. Remember to S.A.L.U.T.E.! Size/Strength "5-6 Uniformed ICE/HSI agents" Actions/Activity “traveling in unmarked vehicles" Location and Direction "Cedar and East 26th St., heading north" Uniform "marked ICE/HSI tactical vests/uniforms" Time of Observation "10:14 AM, Tuesday the 6th" Equipment and Weapons “three gray Ford Explorers with Texas plates"

How does one recover from the kind of moral injury that turns one Macchiavellian and vengeful?
For real I'm doing my damnedest not to have a villain arc, and not the fun kind with pink visors and spandex either.
Still feels like we hit peak oil in the 2000s and they're all just fighting over scraps now.

8. The ruling comes as Heritage openly pushes adult care bans. After Kevin Roberts said the goal was to “outlaw it” through “radical incrementalism,” this decision appears to hand that movement a ready-made legal framework for dismantling trans adult care step by step.
7. Worse, this precedent reaches far beyond Medicaid. If states may constitutionally “encourage citizens to appreciate their sex,” what stops ID marker bans, drag bans, clothing bans or even forced conversion therapy to "appreciate their sex?" The opinion offers no limiting principle.
6. The court’s logic is hypocritical: it says the ban applies equally to everyone, even though only trans people seek this care for gender dysphoria. As Sotomayor noted in Skrmetti, that is like banning interracial marriage for everyone and calling it equal treatment.
In Skrmetti, the Supreme Court found that the Tennessee legislature did not have to take any third party-on either side of the debate at its word to find a good reason to ban certain procedures. The legislature could look at the evidence and decide for itself which plan would best promote the flourishing of Tennesseans. If the Tennessee legislature can legitimately prohibit these treatments, then the West Virginia legislature may legitimately determine that providing Medicaid coverage for these procedures is not worth the cost to its taxpayers. Simply put, if a State can reasonably ban it, of course a State can reasonably refuse to pay for it.
5. The opinion outright says that states can legally ban transgender adult care after applying Skrmetti to adults.
median total cost was $59,673 for a male-to-female vaginoplasty and $148,540 for a female-to-male phalloplasty). 15 While Skrmetti involved sex-change treatments for minors, disagreement among experts about the efficacy and necessity of transgender surgeries extends to treatment of gender dysphoria in adults. For example, "like West Virginia, a majority of States do not cover 'genital gender-affirming surgery' under their Medicaid programs," demonstrating a lack of consensus in this area.

Va. at 2 (citing Michael Zaliznyak, et al., Which U.S. States' Medicaid Programs Provide Coverage for Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy and Genital Gender-Affirming Surgery for Transgender
4. More broadly, the ruling signals that courts may treat restrictions on transgender adults’ care as constitutional. It directly states that Skrmetti can apply to adults as well, saying that there is "disagreement among the experts" about trans adult care.
![It is not irrational for a legislature to forgo Medicaid coverage of arguably ineffective and dangerous procedures and allocate its limited resources to covering other treatments. What's more, States may legitimately recognize and "celebrat[e]" the "inherent differences between men and women." Virginia, 518 U.S. at 533 (internal quotation marks omitted). And it is not irrational for a legislature to encourage citizens "to appreciate their sex" and not "become disdainful of their sex" by refusing to fund experimental procedures that may have the opposite effect. Skrmetti, 605 U.S. at 516-17.
The Supreme Court's decision in Skrmetti forecloses any argument to the contrary. By holding that SB1 passed rational basis review, the Supreme Court made clear that prohibitions on sex-change treatments are not inherently irrational. And West Virginia provided legitimate reasons that rationally related to its policy. Therefore, we find West Virginia's Exclusion easily passes rational basis review.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m65ifh7vn5zdgs7izcmht4gy/bafkreie6baq4m2xemd2sfqgpbchcokinznurztxied4bgyie6mjnfoi6hy)

3. The justices wrote that states may deny Medicaid coverage for what they called “arguably ineffective and dangerous” procedures for transgender adults and may seek to make citizens “appreciate their sex,” endorsing that aim as rational and constitutional.
2. In doing so, the panel extended the Supreme Court's decision in Skrmetti—which held that transgender youth care bans were constitutional—to transgender adults, the first federal appeals court in the country to do so.
The ruling pdf is directly in my story.
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

We desperately need a set of paypros, sites, and basically an economy completely separate from the ninnies demanding control of everyone else's minds.
This is fiction and art they're banning suddenly at the whims of paypros. No victims exist, just adults creating fictional content for other adults.
