One of the weirdest things in the past 15 years is watching organisations that used to have distinct roles and identities just disappear into a homogenous soup of social justice ideology. All of them the lesser for it. 1/2

I like the idea of a subset of crackpots who build careers around just getting tossed back and forth between left- and right-wing demagogues for decades

Jesse Singal The caselaw on Genderfucking varies by jurisdiction. While the First, Third, and Seventh Circuits have hewed to an originalist basis of the genderfuck, the Second and Ninth Circuits have approached the Genderfuck in light of the very political decisions made in the other…

Had never skied a mountain with terrain like Snowbird's before. I've been back in NYC 16 hours and I want to immediately hop a plane back there

Yes I think when this dark chapter is memorialized there will be a lot of focus on what statements PEN America did or didn't make. This isn't solipsistic at all.

Jesse Singal I regret to inform you the usual suspects reacted in the usual way.

I can't believe they assessed studies on the basis of quality in their systematic reviews. Bigotry is the only explanation for that sort of decision.

It's interesting and probably quite bad that people who aren't all that far apart politically now inhabit entirely different epistemic universes

Haven't double-checked this, but looks like a useful explanation of where some of the bizarre claims about the Cass Report have come from.

There are actually very few studies reporting youth-gender medicine outcomes! And fewer still of even moderate quality.

Jesse Singal you know she lies. here she is lying today.

alright you maniacs, here's my magnum opus on DC speed cameras tomlee.wtf/2024/04/12/are…

2200 words and a truly mortifying amount of SQL to tell everyone to touch grass (and to drive slowly if they have to use a car to get to the grass)

Did some evil troll sneak Nazi symbols into the upcoming, in-development Life is Strange game?? IGN seems to think so, but the site's reporting is so vague there's no way to know

I'm still curious about this, if anyone has come upon this elusive list. I say this as someone who was somewhat critical of the WPATH Files on my own podcast, so I genuinely want to know what factual errors there might have been, especially if there were more than 200 of them!

The way GLAAD and the other alphabet orgs have handled this issue has been so dishonest, and, for the last couple of years, very transparently dishonest — “the science is settled” was laughably false — which is why they weren’t able to bully the NYT out of doing journalism.

Guy with PhD: It is bad that the systematic reviews were not conducted by folks with a preexisting interest in a certain result

You can't make this stuff up
