I respect that, but like to me being a woman is kind of the first and foremost important gender thing for me

I ended up chosing "other" for question #3 because of the whole politics around "binary trans woman" being a bit of a transmisogynistic dog whistle. it would have been weird to put myself down as binary but also put myself down as nonbinary since it is also kind of like that internally for me? especially when you're a girl and also a doll. such are the complexities.

I think it would have been more useful to break it down as man/woman/third gender for that question instead of an 'binary/nonbinary/third gender/etc'

lol i hadnt thought about how to pick bc we're plural nation. not like my alters post tho so alas hehe

Almost certainly true, but I wasn't really thinking about it at the time. I picked 1 year ago because that's when it became clear to me personally.

It's very tragic that Ukraine's defeat has been clearly inevitable for a year now, but all this bloodshed was necessary before the west would begin to consider peace terms.

Where does the idea that Russia would leave captured territory in exchange for Ukrainian neutrality come from?

no this is my opinion personally, it's still too early to say what the medium or long-term implications of this strike would be

Yes. Israel had their own token response to Iran's token response, which was attacking like one radar installation (IIRC Hersh said the US govt negotiated down Israel's response to that). I fear that Israel may launch a harsher reprisal

I think it is guaranteed Israel will attack Iran after this. It's the crux of their strategic doctrine to attack at each provocation and then some, as escalation dominance is the way that they can frighten others in the region into not attacking Israel. The question is when their attack will be, how strong it will be, and what Iran's response to that response will be.

good!
