Mutilation of US Children to End
Good questions, a quick bit of research on a couple of AI engines shows that the majority of procedures that even roughly fit what the OP claims were breast reduction procedures performed on boys with hormone problems which caused breasts to grow. Nothing to do with removal of genitals as the conspiracy theory claims. -

Mutilation of US Children to End
What are you on about? Seriously. The judgement has nothing to do with what you are claiming. Have you read the court's opinion? Please take the time to do so, because you are attaching your own opinion to the court's. This was a case in respect to the existing Constitutional provision that relates to Equal Protection Guarantees. The court was not ruling on the validity of gender dysphoria. The court opinion is very clear; The Court’s role is not “to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic” of SB1, but only to ensure that the law does not violate equal protection guarantees. It does not. The court opinion Held that Tennessee’s law prohibiting certain medical treatments for transgender minors is not subject to heightened scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and satisfies rational basis review. The TN law incorporates two classifications: one based on age (allowing certain medical treatments for adults but not minors) and another based on medical use (permitting puberty blockers and hormones for minors to treat certain conditions but not to treat gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, or gender incongruence). Classifications based on age or medical use are subject to only rational basis review. This is a court opinion that gives authority to a state to determine how medical care will be administered. In effect, it allows the state of TN to determine which medical conditions can or cannot be treated. If the health provider choose to classify the gender dysphoria as something else or offer an additional unspecified condition, treatment can still be obtained. Nor is the restriction national. It is specific to one set of circumstances and to one specific state. As I previously stated, a person from TN can obtain the treatments in another state that does not have the restriction. This is not the big deal you make it out to be, and as for the transgender lobby, they too are excited over an issue that will impact only a small number of poor people. As is the norm in the USA, the poor will be denied access to the procedure, while those with money will be able to access it. To put it cruelly and crudely, in the end we will see nicely dressed transgenders, rather than Walmart fashion transgenders. -

New Visa Requirement at Jomtien Immigration
It would not be a "report confirming you live there" It would be a report confirming that you lived (past tense) there on the date of the visit. -

Oh Koh Phi Phi, What have you become?
I was there around 2002 before there were any ATM's I had to get a ferry over to the mainland to get some cash. It was OK for a while after the tsunami as the boats had been purged from the beach. Now the boat free swimming areas have continued to get smaller every year. -

Why do most people NOT smoke weed even though it's legal?
Why not? they are both intoxicants, often overpriced, and have both been subject to prohibition. The users of red wine tend to be a bit more pretentious, but some cannabis users are going that way too. -
