Democrats are, taken as a party, inadequately good. They do not resist the pressures and incentives around them to pursue the light.
Republicans are, taken as a party, evil. They collect donor money, but they would happily do the oppression of minorities for free. A number of them seem plausibly likely to pay for the privilege, actually.
They proudly announced that they did not want to pay anyone! Why would you listen to guy on level C, when the guy on level A is swearing up and down that what level C is saying, is not going to be happening?

That’s the difference.
This one believes it has seen you speak of this in the wild previously and was curious then, and now, as this one as at least passed you more than once, may it ask if there is a reference for entities that are online?
On priors, you’re talking about the Cass report, which was in fact massively flawed, and I saw a great deal of discussion on it. Among other issues, they tossed out a lot of studies, and wrote the report from the stance that the only studies worth looking at would have been double blind studies. I’m not sure if you’ve considered this specifically, but it’s pretty damn hard to blind starting to grow boobs or facial hair. Cass, the supposedly neutral party conducting the study, was handing out copies of “Irreversible Damage”, a scaremongering antitrans book about how the poor helpless young “women” were being seduced by big trans. It was garbage, and there’s plenty of writeups on it.
