My sister then asked the doctor to refill "anything she needs refills on" and he was like "you're good on all of them" and then I had to do a pharmacist refill because no she was not actually, so. My apologies for thinking a current med list would be helpful.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

This is exactly it. The work is the point.
When I assign analysis, I am not trying to extract a polished product; I am trying to put the student’s mind through resistance in order to make it stronger. Offloading the struggle to a chatbot does not “free students up for higher-order work.” It deprives them of building the strength to do any substantial cognitive work at all.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them. I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

For the record, the moderate position on trans rights is that we keep them all. Because we already have them. There's nothing more moderate than doing nothing. The only extremists are the ones wanting to CHANGE POLICY so that we LOSE RIGHTS.

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

this is absolutely atrocious It's hard to convey the scope of this study if you're outside of the field. The thing to understand is it's not just *one* study -- the data from WHI has been used over and over for so many different questions. It's made an enormous difference in women's health.
