The Republicans, a new House, and Healthcare in the U.S.
When I wrote and first published this post, the House of Representatives was poised to elect a new Speaker since the Republicans took control and Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi lost the gavel. They did, but now need to do it again, since they voted out the Speaker they elected then. Here is a look at their party platform in regard to healthcare, a topic they are not focused on now for multiple reasons.
Based on the results of the 2022 midterm election, Republicans are the majority party in the United States House of Representatives for the next two years. That means there will be a new Republican Speaker of the House, who is second in line of succession should the President be incapacited. It is likely any House decisions regarding healthcare will follow the views expressed in the Republican…

Instead of using Misc. as a title for non-binary individuals—meaning "Miscellaneous" or "Mix"—why don't we just use Mx. meaning "Madsieur", a mixture of the French titles "Madam" and "Monsieur"
"mad-zyeer"
Sounds a lot better than calling someone a term for unrelated, leftover items, don'cha think?
Also, if I've murdered this pronunciation, please correct me!
Person:I'm not friends with her but I'm going to unfriend you anyways because,
1. There are only two genders. (Excluding hermaphrodite)
2. Asexual is only real in plants. (Asexual reproduction) If you're a human being you're going to be attracted to at least one person in your lifetime. Duh.
3. Pansexual is fake. There are only two genders, whether you're trans or not. You're either a boy or a girl. So, if you're attracted to both, you're bi. Not pan. That's stupid.
In conclusion, there are only three sexualities, and two genders. (Excluding hermaphrodite, as I said before.)
Me:Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is sexual attraction, romantic love, or emotional attraction toward people of any sex or gender identity. Pansexual people may refer to themselves as gender-blind, asserting that gender and sex are insignificant or irrelevant in determining whether they will be sexually attracted to others.
Pansexuality may be considered a sexual orientation in its own right or a branch of bisexuality, to indicate an alternative sexual identity. Because pansexual people are open to relationships with people who do not identify as strictly men or women, and pansexuality therefore rejects the gender binary, the "notion of two genders and indeed of specific sexual orientations", it is often considered a more inclusive term than bisexual. To what extent the term bisexual is inclusive when compared to the term pansexual is debated within the LGBT community, especially the bisexual community.
Me:Bisexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior toward both males and females,or romantic or sexual attraction to people of any sex or gender identity; this latter aspect is sometimes alternatively termed pansexuality.
The term bisexuality is mainly used in the context of human attraction to denote romantic or sexual feelings toward both men and women, and the concept is one of the three main classifications of sexual orientation along with heterosexuality and homosexuality, which are each parts of the heterosexual–homosexual continuum. A bisexual identity does not necessarily equate to equal sexual attraction to both sexes; commonly, people who have a distinct but not exclusive sexual preference for one sex over the other also identify themselves as bisexual.
Bisexuality has been observed in various human societies and elsewhere in the animal kingdom throughout recorded history. The term bisexuality, however, like the terms hetero- and homosexuality, was coined in the 19th century.
Me:Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It may be considered the lack of a sexual orientation, or one of the variations thereof, alongside heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality. It may also be an umbrella term used to categorize a broader spectrum of various asexual sub-identities. A study in 2004 placed the prevalence of asexuality at 1% in the British population.
Asexuality is distinct from abstention from sexual activity and from celibacy,which are behavioral and generally motivated by factors such as an individual's personal or religious beliefs. Sexual orientation, unlike sexual behavior, is believed to be "enduring."Some asexual people engage in sexual activity despite lacking sexual attraction or a desire for sex, due to a variety of reasons, such as a desire to pleasure themselves or romantic partners, or a desire to have children.
Acceptance of asexuality as a sexual orientation and field of scientific research is still relatively new, as a growing body of research from both sociological and psychological perspectives has begun to develop. While some researchers assert that asexuality is a sexual orientation, other researchers disagree.
Various asexual communities have started to form since the advent of the World Wide Web and social media. The most prolific and well-known of these communities is the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), which was founded in 2001 by David Jay.
Me:Agender is a term which can be literally translated as 'without gender'. It can be seen either as a non-binary gender identity or as a statement of not having a gender identity. People who identify as agender may describe themselves as one or more of the following:
Genderless or lacking gender.
Gender neutral. This may be meant in the sense of being neither man or woman yet still having a gender.
Neutrois or neutrally gendered.
Having an unknown or undefinable gender; not aligning with any gender.
Having no other words that fit their gender identity.
Not knowing or not caring about gender, as an internal identity and/or as an external label.
Deciding not to label their gender.
Identifying more as a person than any gender at all.
Many agender people also identify as genderqueer, non-binary and/or transgender. However, some agender people prefer to avoid these terms, especially transgender, as they feel this implies identifying as a gender other than their assigned gender, while they in fact do not identify as any gender at all.
Agender people can have any preference for pronouns, although some prefer to avoid using gendered language about themselves as much as possible. They can also present in any way - masculine, feminine, both or neither. Agender people can experience dysphoria if they are unable to express their identity in a way they are comfortable with.
Agender people who wish to appear gender-neutral or genderless may have gender nullification surgery to achieve a body that lacks sex characteristics. Chromosome therapy is currently being studied by researchers at UC Berkeley which attempts to nullify those chromosomes which stereotypically identify the individual by a sex.
Agender people can be of any sexuality and should not be confused with being asexual.
Person:I don't give a shit what y'all think, you sound idiotic, making up shit. Like, are you in elementary school? Anyways, I'm out this bitch. Peace. Lmao
Me:*slow claps* I am 28 years old! So show how much you know little one :) hope you have a nice life :)
(All information was collected off of Wikipedia. Sad part is no matter how much information I shared there are people out there who actually believe the way this young person did. In their defense they attacked back with insults when proven wrong. Before going about making such accusations, always check your fact before going about claiming you are right and the other person is wrong.)
