Not too bad overall. I just applied for my passport, which requires both license and birth certificate, so hopefully it comes back male.

Canada is obsessed with RLE in every province except Ontario. The weird thing is if you self-med it's like instant-skip. They just ignore the entire fucking process and you can get informed consent from any doctor you want. I swear they intentionally made the process to fuel the black market, they even mention black market hormones on the Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan trans healthcare websites.
If I was Alex Jones I'd suspect Canada is fueling the illicit drug market, but I am only kidding. In reality socialized healthcare is too retarded to notice their own mistakes.

Here in Toronto, it's intensely pro gay. That leads to a mass assumption that trannies must be getting coddled. Which is bullshit, this city fucking despises trannies, particularly since you're uniformly forbidden to hate anyone else.

On the other hand, there's few mudslimes here, so there's that...

Though of course the Pajeets are overall way, way worse than arabs. And there's hordes upon hordes of them.

Oh yeah, and they seem to have extraordinary blocks in place against self medding. And fucking Blanchard has his bigass field base set up here.

Bengalis are the worst or them. Some would consider even Pashtuns to be pasty Pajeets, and of course Balochis in Iran count as Pajeets(or "Curry", if you will).
>>7822816
Heroic criteria there, YOU would take Pajeets, they're better for you!

Pakis don't count as pure mudslimes, they're special specially low kinds of creatures. All in all, Toronto is profoundly weak in the mudslime factor, it's far more of an essential immigrant dumping ground. If Toronto actually compared strongly to other cities in the mudslime factor, that enormous pride parade there would have been ripped through ages ago! But it doesn't! And that's demonstrated profoundly because you don't see big acts of muslims "defending the ways that are sacred to them", like with the Shaffia incident in Quebec, which the mudslimes prefer.

according to Lawrence (2003), trans women overwhelmingly report improved quality of life by subjective measures regardless of what would be inferred from objective measures

Basically, it's roughly two and a half years from first contact to SRS.
I get hormones in gel form, though, it's nice that they don't kill my liver and I don't mind sticky arms for half an hour, but my skin gets a bit irritated sometimes.

I might be mistaken but I think police or the democrats want to recruit me to be a sex-worker? Or at least pretend regarding this

....either that or here in the U.S. there are corporate groups or maybe it is foreign intelligence or the intelligence community where they want to force people to be sex workers, harass them about being trans and having gender dysphoria, and they may be part of the satanic ritual child abuse stuff

There was this guy who seems to be something of a hero to immigrants in general, at least to immigrants who haven't been pitifully broken by the west. So, one who appreciates the distinction between westernness on the one hand and values and culture on the other will point out how tragic it is for men to not get valued in the vile western world, how degrading, abusive and pointless the existence of men here is.

So this one guy who lived in Montreal is like "Fucking brat cunts, just because you might be getting glimpses of the degenerate west here and there, doesn't mean you get to piss away everything that is right and good and backstab us poor, besieged immigrants to that demonworld! If you keep acting like worthless fucking cracker whores, somebody gonna get a hurt real bad!"
