Nobody in Mississippi is homeless because if you manage to put together a makeshift cardboard box you're already living in a better-conditioned house than 75% of the rest of the state.

>Lowest homeless rate exists in Mississippi

>Commonly referred to as the "worst state" in the Union

>Rent and CoL however, among the far lowest in the nation, stretching their meager savings the furthest

>still has the same year-round temperate climate that is favored among transients

Did Oregonians not know this? Eugene has the highest homelessness per capita

We're kind of stupid as a rule, so most Oregonians don't know facts that are uncomfortable to know.

Knowing my fellow Oregonians I'm going to predict two explanations in the comments. The cope explanation, "we're just better and more honest in our recording."

The oversimplified but not wholly wrong explanation, "decriminalizing drugs attracted more drug addicts."

Top comment is the misreporting one, and the above explains that homeless go to those places because the services and weather are so much better (they actually cure homelessness!), but the heckin drug dealers ruined the homeless programs. :marseycry:

Fascinating how much they can twist themselves into not blaming the subsidies to homelessness or lack of law enforcement.

One of big one's that I'm seeing is "it's only like that cause every state busses their homeless here."

I made this post to brag and to gloat about how everything that you've ever tried to do to stop the transgender acceptance movement has failed. Transgender acceptance is, somewhat ironically, the pinnacle of American exceptionalism.

I use the bathroom which aligns with my gender identity. I have never had a problem.

One time I was on a team and we got new shirts. The women (including me) shuffled off into another room to change. No one batted an eye that I was there; literally no one cared.

I got into an argument with a cis woman regarding trans women in sports. I said that it is reasonable for sporting bodies to analyze statistics, hormone levels, etc. and set reasonable guidelines (e.g. hormone testing) for transfem competitors. She argued that HRT changes your hormones and that you should be eligible as long as you're on it.

People tell me that I pass very well; the last time that I got misgendered was when I went to vote and they saw my s*x on my ID. (I voted dem ofc)

You may have noticed that all of these examples have to do with cis women. That's because most of my friends are women; women accept me as one of their own. That's because I am a woman, and there is nothing that you can do about it.

I was talking to a man and somehow we got into the conversation about whether it would be gay to date a trans woman. He straight-up said "It would be a straight relationship if I was dating you." Keep in mind this guy is raised Catholic, and he's a very non-degenerate and popular guy.

Speaking of which my prestigious Catholic high school ($20k+ yearly tuition) let me wear a dress to the prom. (I am obv no longer in high school, this was a few years ago.) While using an affirmed name was against their policy, the principal used my affirmed name on the last day. I had other teachers approach me during the school year and ask about my gender identity, apparently because it was obvious. They started using my affirmed name in private.

Everyone that I know is at least a leftist, ranging from classical Democrat to anarcho-communist. We hear occasionally of the mythical republican, but I don't know of any by name. They are a dying breed here.

These people -- these young people who accept me -- are the building blocks of our future society. Boomers aren't getting any younger. My friends who work at Raytheon call it ✨Gaytheon✨. We will bomb the middle east and we'll make it gay.

Everything that you have ever done to sabotage the trans acceptance movement has failed.
