Here's a crash course in using an induction stove: it make metal hot

That's more of a corruption issue isn't it? If your country was the opposite leaning politically, the same corrupt politicians would still do their best increase their wealth and power at the expense of anyone else. It's not something unique to the left or the right, or any political stance. Power corrupts, and as you gain more power, thus increasing the chance for corruption, the easier it is to gain more power. Ad infinitum.

Then the original commenter should stop bitching when people call them a transphobe. If they can't handle other people's opinions of them they should just go outside.

I've heard people use "passed," to refer to people dying for my entire life. Nothing has happened to plain English, you've just been living under a rock apparently.

How is that coming up in conversation though? Do you see someone talking about SRS and immediately insert yourself and give your own opinion on something irrelevant to you, completely unsolicited? Because I don't think many trans people are asking random cis people about their thoughts on SRS, I can't think of any other circumstance that would necessitate you giving your opinion on something completely irrelevant to you if you, as you say "don't care if you do, or have that desire/feeling." You can certainly feel this way, but coming into a trans space so you can explain to them that you don't "understand it," for no reason seems pretty transphobic.

An analogy would be, if someone went up to you after you mentioned something very important to your identity, beliefs or who you are and started explaining to you how they just don't get it or can't understand why you believe or resonate with this thing for no reason. It's disrespectful.

While I agree that marketing trying to sell you upgrades you don't need is dumb and annoying, it's a pretty poor argument unless you have absolutely no willpower or something and can't stop yourself from buying new things just because it been advertised to you.

No, "it's" is right.

It's good to see people's feelings of superiority have carried over from Reddit.
