also for the record even if we lived in a bizarro universe where HRT had no positive effect on mental health, it would still be immoral to gatekeep it.
bodily autonomy is not predicated on "mental health", it's a fundamental right

The NY Times would not cover the study in Nature linking anti trans laws to suicide attempts in trans youth because it used the internet to recruit respondents through Trevor project.
Kinnon Mckinnon did his detrans research via reddit and gets a fawning profile. The bias is clear.
๐ฆ Papillon Delacroix ๐ฆ (@dorkestknight.bsky.social):
That's unfortunate. I detransitioned some number of years ago and I wish it was less stigmatized for us as a community to talk about these things. They wouldn't be able to weaponize it if the community wasn't afraid of talking about it.
Ms. Penny ๐ ๐งโ๏ธ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
That's not the case. What's relevant here is that /r/detrans is run by Gender Critical transphobes & KiwiFarms members who kept their hatred cloaked to survive Reddit's rule against hate, while continuing to platform disinfo about transition. (1/?)
Ms. Penny ๐ ๐งโ๏ธ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
There is an actual thriving supportive detransition community on Reddit - /r/actual_detrans, and the moderators there have had to stave off hordes of transphobes & trolls over the years. They discuss detransition openly there.
Ms. Penny ๐ ๐งโ๏ธ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
/r/detrans weaponised detransition disinfo by platforming people with deeply suspicious claims, such as the prolific contributor who claimed she was prescribed T - a controlled substance - without a physical, without being informed of masculinising effects such as MPB, etc
Ms. Penny ๐ ๐งโ๏ธ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Her narrative literally was that she was briefly contacted by the prescriber by email and then prescribed T for a mood disorder.
The subreddit also had open transphobia 2018-2020.
They'll weaponise no matter how detransition is treated. It's a tactic. Flood the zone.
๐ฆ Papillon Delacroix ๐ฆ (@dorkestknight.bsky.social):
I am not sure how this is counter to anything that I said. I wish that we talked about it more as a community so it wouldn't be weaponized against us. If there were better sources from within our own community, misinformation campaigns would lose their steam.

has anyone written anything trying to dissect how fricking wild it is that there is a non-trivial amount of cishet men who will happily jerk off to femboys (and will admit this) but not trans women because that would be "gay" and/or "woke"?

In 2020, NYAG Letitia James sent Alex Jones a C&D over his claims that his neutraceuticals/supplements/toothpastes defeated Covid-19 etc.
Ironically one of Jones' claims was that colloidal silver (a metal) treated health problems. Colloidal silver precipitates into tissues if not chelated out 1st
Ms. Penny ๐ ๐งโ๏ธ Oaken (@skywitches.net):
So one of the quacks sells you a metal mayonnaise to treat cancer and another sells you a chelator to remove the metal from your blood & lymph before it precipitates, and none of them actually make you healthier nor are neutral to your health

on an original Moog, it's a combo of a sawtooth & square wave, augmented by a sine wave, with the sine wave generator controlling the envelope, (or at least, this is what I remember from watching someone in a studio building / patching it on a virtual Moog in ProCowtools 20 years ago)

We needed a viable 3rd party 20 years ago. We will never get one it seems, because any alternatives are the enemy of the "lesser evil". And we get scolded for demanding better.

Any viable third party becomes one of the two viable parties.
Technology Connections (@techconnectify.bsky.social):
in a first-past-the-post system, yes, which is another reason why I personally think ranked choice voting is more immediately needed than viable third parties but I mean I'm just a guy on the internet.
XaiaX ฬฬ ๐ป (@xaiax.net):
Yeah we have some amount of various ranked voting systems in San Francisco and California which is nice. The state level stuff with "top two finishers go to the general" for federal offices is a little weird but it did at least lead to "Pelosi faces opponent who is a democrat not a Republican".
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
It's also weird that Democrats installed a candidate who didn't win the primary.
XaiaX ฬฬ ๐ป (@xaiax.net):
Being ready to replace the current president at their job is literally the VP's entire job and the reason running mates exist so this is a particularly stupid attempt at a point.

She's not the acting president. Joe Biden is still president. It's not her job to take over his candidacy.

She's his running mate it's literally her job. You're bad at this whole sock puppet thing.
(@leftyvegan.bsky.social):
No dude. It doesn't work like that. A person does not win a primary, select a running mate, drop out and have the VP pick just run like nothing happened.
And it doesn't work that way for a second term candidacy either.
