Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

8 years ago my daughter was bitten by a copperhead. She received excellent care from the medical toxicologist at a local hospital and bounced back quickly. So, after the initial fear and worry was passed, learning about and observing the medical care was totally cool!

Inclusive sex education acknowledges the existence of all identities, cis, trans, and intersex/children with differences of sex development. It’s practical and shouldn’t be political.

Using LLMs in this context essentially guarantees that existing biases are maintained and reflected consistently. There’s no longer a way to seek out a “good doctor” if they’re all flattened into using the same poisoned data sets. There is no argument in favor of the ethics of any of this.

The big problem is that a large swath of America had never heard of Kirk until yesterday. Every piece in major media about him is an introduction for many, and so conferring the sense of sainthood on him in the long run creates permission for the dangerous response I fear is coming.

One of the first things you learn about trans competent primary care is how many of us routinely develop PVD, UTIs, and kidney stones from avoiding or not having access to bathrooms. As a fun bonus, the disinfo machine then uses this high prevalence to make mendacious claims about HRT.

One way in psychiatry we test if something has an innate / genetic basis is with “twin studies” - comparing monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins. If MZ are more likely to be concordant than DZ, it suggests an innate / genetic basis This is the case for gender incongruence🧵
