I once again feel compelled to remind folks that you feel science news/new scientific developments are bad and destructive because you are not reading science news: You are reading techbro press releases, regurgitated uncritically by outlets that long ago fired all their science/tech beat reporters.

The UK is putting trans kids through conversion therapy.
So, it looks like the new DfE guidance on trans students in schools incorporates recommendations from the Cass report. Suffice to say that is an *incredibly awful* decision.
Here's a thread with my analysis of Cass on social transition from back in 2024.

In Chapter 12, Cass considers social transition.
As per §12.2, this might include haircuts, clothing, name change, and pronoun usage.

“We would expect support for full social transition to be agreed very rarely”

This type of study is basically a lie.
This is the type of study where the issues are so much more serious than just "the data has some problems with reliability" like. The data is very likely non-representative in its entirety!
"This study found that blocking internet access on phones led to better mental health for youth!"
Look inside
75% dropoff rate
hey so is there possibly a survivorship bias in that some youth don't have a viable replacement for the social outlets on their phones

Misogyny is at the heart of it all. These are the people you idiots are listening to about trans women in sports. They hate you. They want you put in breeding camps. Stop working for them.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.
Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)
There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"

The SAVE Act has passed the House, making it harder for 69 million American women to vote.
This isn’t about voter fraud or undocumented immigrants.
This is about suppressing the female vote.
They want to repeal the 19th and this is a step in that direction.

The "trans demand" is to remove sexual harassment from athletics by abandoning strict bioessentialist limiters on who is allowed to compete. There's no way to keep us out without creating a witch-hunt atmosphere that requires submission to on-demand sexual harassment to enforce.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

"Dividing the party is just what the fascists want" is correct. The problem is that the division starts when you bigoted centrists turn on the marginalized folks around you. Vote with us or vote without us; your choice, fascist.

All of them. Every cop. The police are an occupying force and we're their targets.

It's probably easy to make sure you only run into ICE when you want to if you're in constant contact with them because you feel more connection with them than with their targets. 🤔
Okay I swear this is my last Stancil post for a bit, but do you see the level of privilege that Will has? He’s less afraid of roving gestapo agents murdering civilians and kidnapping children with impunity but terrified some random person on the right OR left will murder him. This is insane.
