since 2024, at least five studies demonstrate how hrt transforms the heart's physiology to align with the body's sex hormone landscape. from ekg's to biomarkers and more!

SCOOP: Palantir's AI has been deployed at HHS since last March to audit grants, grant applications, & job descriptions for anything related to "DEI" or "gender ideology"

The goal was to ensure compliance with 2 of Trump's executive orders:

HHS Is Using AI Tools From Palantir to Target ‘DEI’ and ‘Gender Ideology’ in Grants
Since March of 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services has been using tools from Palantir and the startup Credal AI to weed out perceived alignment with “DEI” or “gender ideology.”

As a small-handed, long-ring-fingered cis woman I went to a reputable animal behaviour conference in 2018. When I saw that at least one of the talks concerned the Digit Ratio, I yiked so loudly; why can't those weirdos leave us alone to talk about cute, otherworldly bugs and worms and furry things?

I think there are a lot of academics who were knowingly attended dinners and lunches where they knew Epstein would be in the 2010s that are telling themselves that actually it's cool because it's not like they're pedophiles but by the 2010s he was an unrepentant convicted pedophile, folks

death from disease in concentration camps is so widespread and so predictable that it's pretty clearly a feature, not a bug.
ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

im looking at my fingers now and by this ratio theory, i would be considered male. it may explain fetal hormones but it doesn't explain gender identity

in a 2016 email, trivers tells epstein that he is "getting to the end of 'transsexuality'" and i think he was referring to this insane theory! he then asks epstein for more money
February 1, 2026 at 4:24 PM
yes seems like it. i hadn't heard of this theory before i saw trivers the chaser in the emails. he and his co-authors took the digit ratios (which had been tied to fetal sex hormone levels) and adapted it to "explain" trans people. first in a 2018 review and then with the 2020 study linked above

lol they get -20 points for the batshit theory and -10 bonus points for using "transgendered belief" ... and all of it in the context of these emails is horrifying

epstein funded trivers research and trivers began advocating a weird theory where relative digit length indicates (trans)gender identity. all around weird! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Kansas bills creating bounties to go after trans people in bathrooms, Texas bills creating bounties to go after people using and transporting abortion pills—the desired outcome is clear: harassment and surveillance curtailing the movement and bodily autonomy of women and LGBTQ people everywhere.

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.
Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

"I insisted that the agents let me assess him. Normally, I would not have been so persistent, but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him."
BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

Wow — Newly-released State Department documents show that the Trump-Vance-Rubio administration literally only abducted Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk because she co-wrote an op-ed urging Tufts to follow student resolutions to acknowledge genocide in Gaza & divest from companies tied to Israel.
