    No one has mentioned Skyrim or any of the Elder Scrolls games, so I guess it's up to me. Even if you don't consider it a "classic" per sé, you can't deny how ubiquitous it has become in the last...

    Even if you don't consider it a "classic" per sé, you can't deny how ubiquitous it has become in the last decade. (Oh my God, it's almost 10 years old!)

    Not OP, but that's the thing, isn't it? Why does it please their voters to enact legislation like this?

    So they can feel that their beliefs are right, at the expense of the legal recognition of people who they may never meet, or realize are trans?

    Trans people won't just disappear off the face of the earth. There are even conservative trans people. This law doesn't magically eradicate people being trans.

    So what does this achieve, and why do trans people have to pay the price?

    You seem to know a lot about this. What about dangerous weather and other natural disasters like earthquakes? Won't that shift the cables and potentially mess up a whole line?

    Can I share my meditation metaphor?

    Imagine your mind as a clear glass of water, with some part of it also containing sand.

    When you have stress, the glass swirls around and the water becomes cloudy with sand. Every time you dwell on the stress, or make attempts to avoid it, your mind continues to swirl with sand.

    When you actively seek stillness and perspective, the glass stops swirling. The sand slowly settles on the bottom – allowing you to watch each sediment closely as it floats downward – until finally the water above becomes clear.

    If you practice often, the stress doesn't go anywhere, but over time the glass doesn't swirl as much or as strongly.

    Where do you recommend starting? I have no understanding of either person's philosophy.
