  1. Based on a Carl Sagan novel.
  2. The NHS is controlled by the British government. Our Endocrine Society and the Mayo Clinic are not under the federal thumb. They are run by experts in their field. You are due no credibility on the subject, as your posts have proven. You have met every opportunity to explain, to convey, and to inform by choosing to ridicule.
  3. For most of my life, I believed most everything I became aware of was included in my dome. The vassitudes of aging have belied that belief. I acknowledge you are known to me, much like the mesquite thorn that overmatched my footwear. Make the most of it among the company of mesquite thorns. The reason you are the mesquite thorn that has made itself known isn’t due to insecurity. Just the opposite. It is certainty. You are a threat to members of my family. US institutions and medical experts have gone rogue? Fuck you. Further, fuck your lily-livered posts on the subject of the alt right and the scourge of turnip as well. You are far more enabler than critic.
  4. Don’t sleep on turnip, Vance, and the shit weasel known as Representative Gill attending the Army-Navy game as a threesome. To refresh y’all’s memory, Neely, apparently a mentally disturbed homeless person was acting out on a train. It is arguable that Penny acted righteously by restraining Neely, up until the moment his chokehold knocked out Neely. He was filmed as he continue to choke the man for another sixty seconds, despite being assisted by other passengers who helped hold down Neely. Despite the warnings of others that he was now killing Neely. The newly elected Rep from North Texas’ remarks were broadcast on Right Side Broadcasting media. The Wiki entry for Neely’s murder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Jordan_Neely
  5. Under the premise that discovery is a good thing, TIL science has discovered how to split electrons into fractions of an electron. https://scitechdaily.com/a-physics-discovery-so-strange-its-changing-quantum-theory/
  6. Even Ana has stopped castigating US policy on Israel/Palestine post election, which is weird given the incoming administration is so keen to be seen as more supportive of Israel that the current WH, and the named new Ambassador to Israel was quoted as saying there is no such thing as Palestine. He has since focused his hate on Israel. I’m open to arguments he is not so far up Putin’s ass he might be compared to a tapeworm.
  7. Latest update says a 15 year old female student used a 9mm pistol to kill a teacher and a student, put two other students in critical condition, and injure three other students. An emergency call was received shortly before 11AM, police arrived three minutes later. Although no shots were fired at the cops, it has not been reported that the shooter took her own life. Police identified her. Her first name is Natalie, but went by the name Samantha. This makes me think she is cisgendered. If that turns out to be true, folks who have speculated, without evidence to support the claim, that she was trans are the fucking worst of humanity.
  8. What, exactly is a woman’s space? I’m thinking you mean bathrooms, and I’d agree no person should enter an occupied bathroom stall. The sink area? Not as concerning, as many parts of the world have unisex bathrooms. Seems like religious extremists of all stripes include pedo misogynists.
  9. My mom was on the right wing fwd:fwd. After taking the time to research and debunk every single email for a month, I just deleted the ones that arrived afterward. Had no effect on her. It was posted on Bluesky today, and I had never seen it. I am impressed by you.
  10. I can’t remember if his show was before, or after, Ask Lydia Love. That’s how I became aware of him. He never held my attention. Unlike Lydia.
  11. Again, discussed. The primary obstacle to long term mental health improvement is society, and its antipathy to trans folks. For folks receiving gender affirming care, the short term results, which are documented as very positive, erode from the sand filled winds of societal opprobrium.
  12. I think it is important to repost this study, which finds that regret for undergoing gender affirming care is extremely low. Lower than any other elective surgery. Lower than getting married. Lower than having kids. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8099405/
  13. Can a human being he both mentally ill AND possess all the components of mental wellness? I do not think so, and so I have questions about your post.
  14. These side effects are no where near the worst side effects that medicines can develop. Think about those medicines for dementia, they are linked to death. Still on the market, Loss of bone density is more than concerning, I agree. The other side effects are less concerning. Fwiw, the loss of bone density is more common among patients born male. We ought respect the decision trans women make, for many trans women loss of bone is no impediment to their desired outcome.
  15. No, they made a political decision, which was not supported by the Cass Review. Further, the Cass Review is seriously flawed. This, too, has been discussed upthread. For instance, the Review is premised on the assumption that expertise in the field of transgender care makes for bias. No where else does this political slant interfere with evaluating medical research. You are disingenuous, I suspect that is common among narcissists, which is shown in how you misrepresent the Review, and the credence you give the two people, commissioned by Review, from York University, to evaluate the existing evidence on transgender care. These two people in no way say the US medical community has gone rogue. Whether or not those two folks are identified by name, I don’t know. Many of the authors of the Cass Review are unidentified. Your most egregious misrepresentation if the Cass Review is to claim it supports a ban on medical care for transgendered kids. It does not. ISpoiler has the details. How about give children the medical care they need.
  16. Narcotics can kill you, if you overdose. And, to be sure, when misused narcotics are addictive. Otoh, narcotics, when properly used, are remarkably benign in terms of ill effects on the body. Narcotics with anti-inflammatory analgesics offer the most effective pain relief. But, they’re cheap, and generic, absolutely. So, is there not a financial incentive to have them removed from treatment options?
  17. As this subject has been discussed, ad naseum, I will spoiler the Mayo Clinic’s statement on the negative effects of hormone blockers. (Hint, “unacceptable risk” is both subjective and unsupported). The UK panel is political bullshit.
  18. Probably should have posted this here.
