Not isolated at all. Black kids (especially girls) get targeted all the time. It's usually ignored or doesn't make the news.

Sounds like you don't have friends and you expect your partner to be your only source of emotional support. You should fix that before you try to be in a romantic relationship.

I know the Western world still isn't into it, but kids should be allowed to wear masks if they're sick or trying to prevent illness. Like they do in Asian countries.
Especially by the point they're in high school.

Also, from the article:
Opposition to the voice seized on this ambiguity, adopting a campaign slogan of “if you don’t know, vote no”.

I'm Canadian and yeah.... Even IRL a lot of people refuse to admit it.
I've been forced to educate people about the Chinese Head Tax and the 2 very distinct Chinese Exclusion Acts and how that on top of Yellow Peril still affects Chinese disapora today in government regulations including immigration and social programs, which is super traumatic as a Hong Kong diaspora who is also trans, queer, female-bodied, and neurodivergent.

Actually, prop guns do exist and I'm not talking about the ones that shoot blanks.
Or have you never seen a cosplayer with a gun?
There are realistic looking prop guns that are built without a firing mechanism. Without, meaning it never existed in the design.

How do you deal with being broke?
I used to go over to my friends and they would feed me. They weren't much better off than me but they could afford to get some extra ramen and KD.

13-Year-Old Rape Victim Forced to Give Birth Due to Mississippi’s Abortion Ban

Amen sibling.
I spent 10+ years trying to kill myself as a child because who I was was never accepted. By 17 I had an end (pun intended) goal to stop being alive at my 18th birthday.
I'm 35 now and literally have no idea what I'm doing with my life or any real goals because I never planned to be alive this long. I've been faking it since I passed my 18th birthday.

I'm not sure why you're confused because the first sentence of the article literally says:
Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in the country’s constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.
Which sums up why they were trying to make this happen, which also sounds like they don't have an official group of Indigenous peoples advising the government on anything that is an Indigenous issue, which is super bad.

I'd still recommend a condom, not just for STIs but also because vasectomies are not 100%.
Just ask my brother who got one and his wife is now expecting in December.

Firstly, you linking Jordan Peterson, who is known to spread negative propaganda about anything that isn't pro cis-white male privilege and toxic masculinity is so laughable. It proves that you're drinking the false news koolaid.
Secondly, there are people who regret the surgery for so many reasons including internalized transphobia, peer pressure, botched surgery by incompetent surgeon, etc. It's VERY hard to get approved for gender affirming surgery. You need your family doctor, psychologist, and at least two other medical professionals to access and sign off on it.
Thirdly, cis-hetero kids have been assigned hormone blockers for many medical reasons and grew up to be adults with perfectly functional endocrine systems.
If you're going to keep looking at things from a cis-straight perspective, then look at the same medical practices and procedures that are performed on cis-straight kids. You'll see that they are safe enough to not warrant any of this bullshit fear mongering from idiots like Jordan Peterson.
P.S. Surgery is done on intersex kids all the fucking time to make them conform to the gender binary against the child's consent and there is much more harm done there than there will ever be for trans kids to get gender affirming care.
P.P.S. Circumcision is also surgery done against the consent of the child, and definitely immoral when done not for religious reasons, and yet it's still a very common and openly accepted practice in the USA.

The facists and racists have existed before Canada was a country but people just keep conveniently forgetting. Except back then they were the ones in power.
Of course, literal records of Parliament don't.
