Re: Cornell and the incredulity around why nobody else in the fraternity did anything to stop the rapes ... fraternities are hotbeds of sexual violence ; men in them are 3x more likely to perpetrate rape than non-frat men. Even the rate of male-on-male SA is much higher within frats. Links follow...

re: frontier LLM debate, IMO many are missing that the potential for harmful,unpredictable behaviour/model use doesn't hinge on symmetry with usefulness. Dangerous =/= smart, inducing misalignment easier than alignment, easier to poison than to make robust etc. Bias oft embedded in training data...

Been years since I last used Grindr, but one of the more memorable experiences I had on there (amidst a deluge of unsolicited dick pics) was an unsolicited butthole pic. Just 'cause the meme was that we were all catgirls , it didn't follow that mimicking a feline greeting was appropriate!

A thing that chafes me re: sexual/intimate partner violence research is recording data as never vs ever or yes/no in the past year. Completely erases repeat victimisation. Also wrt trans people - we fail to record transition stage (pre / HRT / top surgery/ FFS etc) wrt shaping risk profiles.

Academia is kind of brutal fr. I just had a crazy little phase where I had to essentially go 50+ hrs for 8 weeks straight and do 100h over the last 10 finishing up a paper and a grant app. Glad to finally get to chill though.

I've interviewed for tenure track positions where getting an interview was easy but offers never followed. Experiences include having a cis female panel head call being trans "a lifestyle choice", being questioned about my own contributions to my co-first authored nature paper, etc.

Due to ADD meds' side effects + a cycle of dysphoric depression from losing weight, in 2022 I'd crashed to a dangerously low weight of 97lbs and stayed there for two more years. Incredibly happy I turned it around & now I'm at a stable 145lbs. The trick was crushed Cayenne chilly flakes.

www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... - cool little pilot study. Shows for the first time that reports of specific cyclical symptoms like PMS and cramping in trans women are associated with drops in urine E2 levels that coincide with symptoms.

All four women who reported ‘PMS’ had a lower-than-average estrogen level on PMS days compared to their 30-day average (range: z = 0.37–1.30 standard deviations below individual mean estrogen). The single participant who reported cramps had a lower-than-average estrogen level on days with cramps compared to their 30-day average estrogen (z = −0.311). Similarly, two of the three participants who reported tender breasts had lower-than-average estrogen levels on tender breast days (z = −0.49, z= −0.14), while the third participant had an average estrogen level on tender breast days closely matching their 30-day average estrogen level (z = 0.008).

Fun fact - I DIYd HRT for the first 8 months of transition. I used OTC low-dose estradiol creams for menopausal cis women & hit the lower end of WPATH ranges through scrotal dosing. Worked well , caveat being I was already castrate level T at formal medical intake despite no prior T-blocker use.

The current wave of anti-trans eliminationism has shaken my prior conviction in the unambiguous nobility of all the potentially life-saving work I've done to date as a cancer researcher: many that are saved may work to harm me and mine, and that is , by itself, heartbreakingly disillusioning.

1/🧵 We do need to talk more about the illegality and lawlessness of the Cass Review. Hilary Cass cited Anne Wæhre's then-unpublished “study” via “personal communication”. It was later published at doi:10.1007/s00787-024-02508-5 and doi:10.1111/apa.17530, and the papers have now been retracted.

Raise your children to see people of all sexes/genders as equally human, equally capable, equally worthy of respect and consideration , equally entitled to navigate society, equally closer in essence than apart, or reap the fruits of the enforced divisions you've sowed.

One thing that drives me up a wall is the widespread belief (often from weird ass self-declared postcolonialists) that ternaries of gender are more progressive than binaries. Both can be conduits of oppression. Sometimes a binary still has an implicitly othered ternary, too!

This is a really important flipside to the "can you fuck her then she's a trans woman" thing - trans men's bodies are often framed through the lens of it being a "shame" or a "waste" if they are considered attractive by heterosexual standards. Gross all the way down either way.

OK, I want to talk to the incompetent fuckwits that served as lawyers here. Failure of ASAB to capture transition-linked biology is trivial to establish for anyone that has more than two functioning brain cells. "Sex is at birth, trans people change gender sweaty, sex=/=gender UwU" - like STFU.

In both cases I think it speaks to a certain comfort most people from the majority stakeholder political constituency have where politics is a service model and so long as their service isn't really disrupted they think everything is fine.

People often write histories of social revolution and backlash/oppression with the narrative that the revolution went too far and after the people demanded too much freedom, someone needed to get things back under control. This is not true, or it's only true from the perspective of elite authority

Make a transphobe cry today by pointing out that trans men are classified male and trans women are classified female by biomedical scientific convention. I might have broken this one's brain because they descended into a full on meltdown screaming "BaSic BiOlOGy" "BASIC BIOLOGY!!!!111!!!" at me.

Latest canard re: TMA/TME is that it is "bioessentialist" (assuming 'cause transfemininity is defined by being assigned (or coercively-reassigned) AMAB). By this logic, transness itself, defined by incongruence regarding ASAB, would also be bioessentialist, but funny how that isn't a problem.

A majority of endocrinologists may possibly be woefully unequipped to handle HRT for trans patients in the US. www.endocrinepractice.org/article/S153... (Study from 2016). Half sampled at a major endocrinology conference hadn't even read the Endocrine Society's clinical practise guidelines.

This would have been obvious to anybody who tried to make sense of the techbro ancap neofeudalist sorts such as Yarvin and their endorsement of Trumpism - erosion of nation-states as trustworthy is a means towards fostering the collapse of nation states per se, creating a vacuum for exploitation.

The reinterpretation of intersectionality to treat marginalisations as additive when modelling multiple marginalised groups drives me up the wall. Crenshaw's original point was the exact opposite - that MM groups' experiences can't be reduced to distinct individual marginalisations. You see ...
