This is bizarre and ridiculous. Detransition can be defined in entirely objective ways, and it's absurd to suggest that the measure is 'wrong' when discussing the impact of gender-affirming care.

Have you heard the recent claims that Apple cider vinegar can treat/cure obesity?

the tele is straight up just running 'illustrations' from ChatGPT / Dall-E now, and I haven't seen much in the way of industry pushback, eg from MEAA or wherever

Carnivore MD no longer does Keto-Carnivore because he thinks it’s unhealthy—stemming from self-reported adverse effects of chronic nutritional ketosis.

You can’t make this stuff up. What a world.

What happened to COVID-19 vaccine sceptical groups after life went back to normal?

This is all you need to know about the 'debate' over gender-affirming care for kids: There is no evidence that it's being given too quickly and plenty of evidence that it's not.

X: getting rid of basic, essential safety systems to enable harassment.

What a trash fire. No wonder so many people (including myself) have mostly left.

Dear Twitter.

I report porn bots and Nazis. All the time. Nothing happens.

Now you've figured out how to pull my hair, in about an hour, for *hateful conduct* over a statistics joke.

Is everything OK at home?

this is wild. guy tweets about “confidence intervals”. gets censored for hate speech.

Part two of my series looking into the Cass review is out.

This time, I'm looking at arguments AGAINST the review, and why some of them really don't stack up.

Incredible headline theshovel.com.au/2024/04/23/elo…

A lot of people have asked my opinion about the Cass Review into gender services for children. It's a massive document, and a very complex topic, so this will take quite a lot of words.

Here's the start - gidmk.substack.com/p/the-cass-rev…

So far, 519 kids in 44 states have gotten lead poisoning from applesauce.

The reason? Lead was *added* to the cinnamon to increase its weight (hence, also its price).
