iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Search for Blair Hamilton and read some of their work. They’ve done a number of landmark studies in the field. They’ve spoken out against the ambiguity and lax IOC standards, but in a way that encourages doing more research and not selecting arbitrary numbers without reason.

This field of study is pretty much my whole thing. It’s angering but also really interesting. The question of fairness is “fair.” But if we don’t really know if it is or not, the only reason to segregate is bigotry and fear.

The ironic thing about post election chatter is that a lot of the time it’s candidates who lost, underperformed, or underworked who have endless time to go on TV and share their blame story. And for their part, journalists rarely EVER ask if that person actually ran a functionally solid campaign

Gender affirming surgery is needed for cis people sometimes too… I just can’t imagine wanting a prosthetic testicle 😂

While some individuals do not mind losing a testicle, studies have shown that there is a change in body image in testicular cancer survivors who have undergone orchiectomy and an improvement in body image in 50-60% of individuals who undergo testicular prosthesis placement. One year after testicular prosthesis placement, there are reports of increase in self-esteem and psychological well-being during sexual activity in a study that followed up on post-orchiectomy individuals including adolescents.

Hi #academicsky I’m looking for potential phd supervisors that would be interested in studying the physiology, ethics, and policy surrounding trans people and sport. If you know anyone or know places I should look, let me know! Reposts appreciated.

So, Mr. "Your body My..." He's almost certainly gay, right? And his misogyny is an externalized version of the hatred he holds for his own sexuality? Is that a stretch? Seems like the poor guy needs a life do over...

Nick Fuentes' wikipedia personal life entry. He attempts to defend his sexuality to his own fans. He calls loving women "gay."

@bookboundprince.bsky.social I have a public threads account but I wanted to engage with what you posted a couple hours ago about the transphobic student. Seems to me like the kid may be trans deep in there. It’s not unusual for eggs to fear what their body knows but their brain refuses to accept.

I feel this. For me it shows up as no longer needing to avoid pain or fear at all costs. It’s easier than it’s ever been to have blood drawn or watch a horror movie. Even the cold bites a little more softly.

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.

Where did the “hot lesbian relationships in movies” account go? Used to be like 50% of my feed on here.

I think I'm going to start wearing my queerness on my sleeve a little more. I'm generally straight passing and I think that needs to change. Fuck their comfort.

A remarkable thing happened Tuesday night on an “election integrity” discussion page on the social media platform X, as it became clear that former president Donald Trump was headed to a decisive victory against Vice President Kamala Harris. It got quiet. wapo.st/40VIxPB

I'm giving myself today, and today alone, to feel like shit. Tomorrow, I start to take more action, solidify plans for every worst case scenario, but most importantly, continue to live my life as me. I'm not going back.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but voting for a person who spent $210 million demonizing a minority is morally wrong.

In 2016, long before I’d developed enough of a sense of self to feel anything, I sat on the couch and laughed at the funny orange man memes on Facebook until 2am. Nothing could touch me. At least now I have enough of a soul to feel the fear.

I appreciate that AP poll. Now I know exactly how many people need my therapeutic services.

It might be time to acknowledge that it’s not just a US thing, maybe the whole world is a little dictator horny. Humans love a good dom.

I love where I live. The land itself is literally so great. America IS beautiful. Half the people on it just happen to scare me… a lot

No. I refuse to run away. Someone give me money so that I can buy that gaudy house on the hill and hang the world’s largest trans flag from it.
