The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

abstract support is the best description.
“your trans? oh i support you living your truth!”
“oh, you’re transitioning and taking hormones and your body is changing? well now i am going to be quietly uncomfortable.”
“wdym you need my help because our government is trying to erase your existence?”

There's a kind of "support" cis people will give trans people (and queer people more generally) that amounts to: "It's well and good for you people to be the way you are, but not MY kid. My kid is normal and if my kid ever the idea of being anything but normal, it's YOUR fault."
Abstract support.

the trans panic, legislation of transmisogyny, etc. is not "distracting from the epstein files", it entrenches the sexual abuse. transphobia towards trans kids always entails sexual abuse, by families & states. one of epstein's first victims was a trans girl, ava cordero, who was not believed

Also: helping yourself understand WHY you like something, visually, narratively, etc, will help you better deliver. Not the WHAT you like, but WHY it compels you. It's something ai isnt capable of doing. Intent is something that only a human hand can deliver.

This! The whole entire POINT of looking at reference is to get a real idea of what something ACTUALLY looks like, so you can stylize and interpret it! Looking at a statistical average spat out by an LLM with god knows what in the dataset is NOT the same as observing reality!
The thing that makes me insane about this and Vincke’s comments is why would you trust AI to make a reference? They’re notoriously bad at doing that and produce banal results! Go buy some art books, they’re great. How is it empowering concept artists to have them not do that?

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.
