Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially. transitics.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

The Trump Administration is Testing Conversion Therapy By Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons

The Bureau of Prisons is subjecting trans people to conversion therapy and denying them care with the goal of helping them "recover." It's trying to prove dangerous conversion practices can work.

Most people would consider Robin Hanson to be disturbed. But not Tyler Cowen: "Those of us who speak regularly with Robin know how brightly his star blazes. He's a truly original and important thinker in a way that few are, plus on analytic back and forth he is blindingly fast and accurate."

It's disturbing enough that Cowen, who teaches 18-year-old students Econ 103 at George Mason University, publicly offered advice about "finding virgins," but unfortunately, the post has a more disturbing background.
