Transmascs on T, I want to talk to you for an article in Playboy! I'm writing about the mythology of testosterone causing aggression and violence, and I would love to talk to other transmascs about your experiences on T-HRT, both emotionally and in how people's perceptions of you have changed.

Even after Vindman had left, one of the transgender women acknowledged what she expected to do in November.

“I hate to say it,” she said. “I’m still going to have to vote for him.”

pushing out diverse people to accommodate diverse views about those people's inferiority, be fucking serious
Screenshotted excerpt from the quote-skeeted article, reading as follows:

"Even though I personally agree with [the diversity and inclusion standard] and what it tries to achieve, I think it's appropriate as an ​accrediting body that we eliminate that standard so we don't inhibit the diversity of ideas out there in ​various types of legal education environments," said David Brennen, a council member and a former dean ⁠of the University of Kentucky College of Law.

This study shows that disinformation spreads, not as “false facts”, but as narratives. Compare that to how mis- and disinformation are often operationalized in the big-N quantitative and experimental research in the Nature/Science journals — that’s a major weakness in the field.

This is going around on X, a new study by SEGM member Riittakerttu Kaltiala (the abusive head of a clinic in Finland) is getting picked up as proof that gender-affirming care doesn't work. The data actually shows something very different from what the authors claim. It's purposefully distorted. 🧵
 Gemini said

A screenshot of a post on X by SEGM (@segm_ebm). The post text reads: "A new Finnish study reports that youth gender transitions (under age 23) did not improve mental health symptoms. For some youth, medical gender reassignment may have had a negative impact."

Below the text is an image showing the "Results," "Conclusion," and "Summary" sections of a medical study. The word "FALSE" is stamped in large, bold, red letters across the center of the study text.

A specific sentence in the "Results" section is highlighted in blue: "Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment."

Logged into Bsky Tracker for the first time in a while and apparently I am on two "MAGA" lists (a follow and a block list LOL). Sorry to disappoint, but even if I wasn't a loud leftist, I am literally neither from nor in the USA. This is the only "MAGA" I support: land back, reparations, abolition.

Perhaps. But, for me, Isabel Fall’s treatment really is one of those evils that no amount of justice will ever do right to heal. One of those, now that this is in the world it has been marked for the doom it deserves, type ills that I loath living alongside.

The inevitable result of this would be the creation of a permanent underclass of exploitable people, who grew up in this country, know no other, and have no education so are more vulnerable than ever before; a serf class for the rich and powerful.

I want to talk to fellow "low" or "moderate" support needs autists who do not have that support. What does reckoning with that look like for you? I've been trying to come to terms with the likelihood that I will just never have all the support I need, and it feels utterly impossible to integrate.
