I was 55 when I realized I was queer all along. A disaster queer. Gender: trainwreck.

But much of my life makes a lot more sense now.

Our mental health inpatient facilities suck in the US. (I don't know if they're any better outside the US. Bedlam is still active, though allegedly a state-of-the-art institution). The rate of patient abuses in our wards run similar to abuses of prison inmates by staff, about one in three patients is a victim.

Violence and sexual violence from orderlies is common, but also nurses like to get patents prescribed with tranquilizers to keep them easy to manage (and drooling) and hospital pharmacists are complicit in this kind of mistreatment.

This is why our suicide response in the US sucks, since the typical procedure (when police don't turn an incident into a blue suicide) is to lock the patient in a hellscape like this.

So yes, it's little surprise that trans patients will be misassigned accommodations and then left vulnerable to abuse. Here in the states, the psych sector gives few fucks once someone is in lockdown.

The lensing force of adorable.

As I'm not a felinologist, I can't say you're necessarily wrong. Traits that evolve often serve multiple advantages.

This remind me of a cat's primordial pouch which is the fluffy part of the kitty belly that humans like to rub (and may or may not be a trap), and extra-pervy cat enthusiasts get addicted to huffing (see CAT HUFFING). It's not a secondary sexual characteristic. Both sexes have it, and it seems to have evolved to assist faster running according to felinologists.

And yes, when hairless (say if a cat overgroomed its nethers) they definitely look NSFW when they dangle during standing and walking.

I'd argue she's a TE. Rowling associates with and finances people whose positions are contrary to actual feminism.
