  • I am happy that trans people can be who they want to be, even if there is still a long way to go. But I am thrown by how statistics, that consistently give numbers of <1% to 3% for transsexual people in the general population, don’t match the number of transitioning stories I read online. I get why that is, safe space, confirmation bias and all, but it’s such a major disconnect between experience and actual numbers that it constantly trips me up. From what I read online, the percentage of trans people feels like it’s around 20-30%. Or, in this case, 50%.









  • Stalin Line is a military history park. They have WW2 bunkers, loads of Soviet vehicles and an area where they do reenactments. And you could fire that monster rifle and an AK47. They also had a funny story about Hugo Chavez, who watched a reenactment and when the red flag fell down he ran onto the field, full of people with guns (loaded with blanks, but still) and his bodyguards, armed with apparently real ammo, followed him.
