Yup. The trans community has been doing this with HRT meds for YEARS because it was either straight up illegal, or almost impossible to obtain access because of the dozens of hoops you had to jump through.

My issue, as a younger grognard, is that point and click character builders and sheets have led to a lot of players who don't actually understand how to play the game without their buttons. They don't get what I mean when I say "roll a spell attack" unless they have a button that does it. They don't get how to build a character outside of something like D&D Beyond where it does everything for you.
Really the only trend, from my friends and coworkers who have done wine tasting, is that once you climb above the absolute bottom tier, the field is...kinda flat until you start paying hundreds per bottle. That $14 Yellow Tail white will, without a lot of outliers, taste just as good as a white that's $150. The more expensive one might have a more depth or complexity, but they will be fairly easily comparable overall.
No joke, I could see this. My current workplace wants daily attendance emails from us to calculate how many of us are in the office, and thus estimate productivity that day. It's asinine.
And the other half is so caught up in appearing "unbiased" that they won't pass anything that seems even the slightest bit politically charged.
Well There's Your Problem did an absolutely horrifying episode about it. I recommend it.
To put a finer point on it, Kushner was stealing SO MUCH PPE from hospitals and state health depts that they had to have shipments fly in at the dead of night, to small local airports and rural airfields, because otherwise Kushner's Department of Health might show up and "commandeer" all of it to be resold at a markup.
Don't forget the press secretary literally laughing as gay people die, until Reagan's friend Rock Hudson got HIV.
Yes, just like Trump and COVID, Reagan's some policy on HIV was "do nothing and hope people don't care".
See, this is why I long for the cybernetic revolution. So that I can hot swap some breasts or genitals or hair whenever I want.
John Wayne had to be physically restrained from beating up a Native American woman at the Academy Awards.
Yeah, it seems more the IDF is just shooting literally anything human-shaped. Aid workers, friendlies, journalists, civilians, in addition to the odd actual "guy actually shooting at us".
And in some cases, the IP getting a shit movie or show can tell the game developers "well, time to drop the entire brand for 15 years".
