“No one, whether you’re trans or not, wants the federal government digging through your identifiable patient information and figuring out what they like and don’t like,” Hack said. “It’s an absolute overreach, and people are really scared.”

Asked whether Hack’s priorities were measures he could support, Platner agreed. “Yes, indeed. They most certainly do,” he said.

    I don’t believe he didn’t know what the tattoo was but he gets the benefit of the doubt as long as he keeps putting his money where his mouth is.

      I was drunk as fuck on habu saki, 18 years old, in Okinawa one night on shore, in line with four other sailors to get tattoos. I dont remember what happened after that.

        Did you proceed to have an obvious nazi tattoo on your chest for a decade and change? Because that’s a big blind spot and a bad look. Like, he’s better than Collins and he’s saying the right stuff, but I won’t trust him until he’s proven himself. You don’t get a nazi tattoo for years and years and not deserve a lot of extra scrutiny. He’s got a lot of work to do.

          Dude it’s not an obvious Nazi tattoo when 9 out 10 of the people here couldn’t pick the fucking tattoo out of a lineup.

          You’re being wildly ridiculous.
