"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

reblog by aphony-cree

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

One or more human beings are responsible for the code they wrote, and those are the people who should be held accountable. These programs are not acting “on their own”

This paragraph really hit me as someone who did wait years for a diagnosis and is still struggling in my daily life in ways that I mask:
Continuing as we are is not sustainable: not for the people waiting weeks,
months or years, becoming more distressed because help is locked behind 
waiting for a diagnosis; not for those with the most severe needs who cannot 
access specialist care; and not for a society paying the human and economic 
price of failing to support people to participate in family, community, education 
and working life.

Literally turned on the tv this morning to a BBC reporter regurgitating this bs article followed by the actual expert in the interview saying the exact opposite and that the problem is that the system meant to support diagnoses is severely under-resourced!

I know several trans people who have fled the U.K. over the last few years because of its sharp descent into transphobia The most recent is the parent of a trans child - who I have personally known for 10 years - who are uprooting their entire family to move to Australia.

Ossoff and El-Sayed took different tacks tonight vs their opponents—El-Sayed was more of a subtext of “you dumb fucking racist jackass” while Ossoff’s was more “if you fell down at a gas station I’d toss a lit match on you”—and I don’t think either of those is a bad choice tbh

1. This has been incredibly obvious and incredibly disheartening to anybody who watches even *close* to as much TV as I do. 2. I sense the regression for directing might be ever worse. 3. That fact that, without a TCA press tour, TV executives have basically NO visible accountability is... bad.

Hard agree - if a claimant files a takedown/copyright strike on however many hundreds of channels but NEVER files suit, they get their right to claim revoked. End of. If there's a strike system for us the same should apply for claimants as well.

Another misunderstanding is that sexual violence can be ended through education. There is not a single evidence-based program for perpetrators that has reduced sexual violence. What schools call an educational intervention is making perpetrators sit down to read the sexual-misconduct policy and asking if they have any questions. It’s having them write an essay. None of these things work.

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

The reason why I never skip the end credits isn't just out of my respect for the creators but also because I love those moments where I say things to myself like "That guy was voiced by Roger Craig Smith?" or "I didn't know Titmouse worked on this!"

Yes the Batgirl thing was bad but the worst thing he ever did in my opinion was give other studios the idea to purge their content off of streaming services while he was trying to save money at WB Discovery. He is literally responsible for the erasure of a ton of lost media.
