*right clicks on you*

[suigintou]

i just felt someone right click me

[idiopathicsmile]

let the record show i am all in favor of "shit" and "damn" and "fuck" but at the same time, "oh brother" is just an extremely funny way to express consternation. i tried to look it the etymology and nobody seems to even know the origin. like, what brother? whose brother? my brother? your brother? all we know is that somewhere out there, A brother is going through it, apparently.

[lovingtogekiss]

hey, dont cry. backstreets back, alright?

[vero-niche]

adhd will get you thinking "i should make this doctors appointment" every day for 7 months and counting

[vero-niche]

[bish0ps]

Ok sooooo. and DON'T be mad. We're going to boil you.

[scrtchptch]

there’s a new potent drug called “the bed” out on the streets. just one hit of the damn thing and you’re passed out cold, tucked in, multiple blankies, honking and shooing for hours. scary stuff.

Guess who just left the German transgender group...

They were all talking about detransitioning and how that “proves” that gate-keeping is right. Then one guy who does write for a terfy magazine said that said magazine that “accidentally” also writes a lot about detransitioners (gotta wonder why they do that…) can’t “possibly” be right-leaning - ignoring it’s anti-trans and anti-islam policy. So, I pointed out that he, who is getting money from that magazine, maybe is not the most reliable person when it comes to the criticism against that magazine… And for that, I got a warning…

So yeah, I’m tired of that transmedicalist truscum stuff anyway, so screw that and screw Facebook really…

[cipheramnesia]

Ergh that sucks.

[laura491]

Yeah, and they really had it coming… Take yesterday:

Me: Actually, the percentage of detransiitoners is no higher than 1%

Them: Those are old numbers, there has been a massive increase since 2010-2012

Me: Well, my numbers are from a study from 2018, with a cohort from 1972-2015… Do you have any sources for your claim?

Them: *provide two scientific articles that say that there is NO increase of detransitioners, three articles from some websites that don’t even show the methodology, and one article in Norwegian (which I don’t speak or understand)*

Me: *points out exactly those issues*

Them: Oh, of course you’d find ways to neglect and ignore the issue!

Like… Sorry that I have learned how to critically read articles and that you don’t have any sources supporting your claim that reach that standard?

[cipheramnesia]

gods all this, fuck the de-transitioning argument so hard, they’re like the same fuckers who argue against vaccinations

[laura491]

Wouldn’t surprise me really…

To be clear about this, yes, detransitioning is a thing - for 1% of those who do transition. And as much as that sucks for those people, I really don’t see how any more gate-keeping would help them. There already is a lot of gate-keeping in Germany, and detransitioning is still happening, because those people who do detransition later are simply lying to their counselors.

So, the hill I’m dying on that is actually supported by studies is this one: gate-keeping is shit and if someone knows about the effects and side-effects of HRT and the other medical procedures and still wants to proceed - the chance for them detransitioning is just about as low as in the case of forcing people to undergo therapy before. Some trans people may need therapy because of bullying or depression or whatever, sure. But for those who don’t, making therapy mandatory is just unnecessary

[cipheramnesia]

This articulates it perfectly.

A hero without a cape

[nyshadidntbreakit]

Her name is Theresa Kachindamoto, and she is a senior chief - political leader of a region with a population of about 900,000 people.

She didn’t run for election; she was appointed, without her knowledge, while she was living and working in a completely different part of the country. She just received a call one day telling her to come back to her childhood home, because she was in charge now.

So she did; and when she arrived, she discovered widespread sexual abuse of children. She browbeat 50 uncooperative local leaders into accepting her decision to annul all the marriages. She then fired four of them when they continued to allow children to be married off in their areas. She still faces widespread opposition from parents who consider it their right to sexually abuse their daughters if they want to; but Kachindamoto very evidently does not give a fuck, and is continuing to use political and legal means to protect children in the region.

She’s not just an anonymous do-gooder; she’s an effective political leader despite incredibly difficult circumstances. Theresa Kachindamoto.

Okay so I don't know why people say sex or love is what makes us human. Lots of organisms in nature have sex or mate for life. You know what makes us human? Cooking. Nothing else in nature cooks except humans. Checkmate aphobes. Sincerely, an ace cook.

….

…

is that true??

Holy shit!!

[singing-sorrowless]

Not only that, some anthropologists think that cooking is what MADE us human- as in the ability to consume large amounts of EASIER-to-digest calories (with all the pathogens killed off and the tough cell walls broken down) is the thing that allowed us to devote evolutionary energy to growing larger brains, and solidified the beginnings of communal human civilization. Have you seen how many hours a day pandas spend chewing on raw bamboo? Cooking let us take a shortcut so we could evolve in other ways. Especially bread, bc it’s a lot of caloric energy packed into a portable chunk you could take with you for days and days. Also in order to have bread you have to have grain farms, so bread (and beer, also made from grains) sort of catalyzed humans settling down into centralized permanent settlements. So cooking (and eventually farming) didn’t just help us physiologically evolve into our current form, but also shaped our social structures from the beginning. You should watch the Michael Pollan documentary “Cooked,” on Netflix! It’ll rock your world.
