No I don't follow folk or celebs for their musical talents etc. Those that follow me expecting some reaction to their musical endeavours I'm sorry to say it flies straight past me. Some years ago we discovered, while having PTSD therapy that amongst other things I am musically anahedonic.

The right & religious lunatics really have nothing unless they lie, cheat, manipulate, deny science & reality. They are the ones that society should be isolating & ignoring as they are dragging humanity back to the dark ages.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing
The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

Nope, AI does not stand for artificial intelligence...

More like artificial interference into stuff I am doing that it does not have a clue about.

So as far as I am concerned AI can indulge in the human experience of sex & travel.

This is without doubt a mentally ill mass hysteria cult. Christian Conservatism does indeed prey on the vulnerable & low educated masses. This is what happens when you dumb society down, cut education & allow religious indoctrination. It leads to religious fascism enforcing their warped ideology.

This is one of the best, most thorough resources I’ve seen: five hours of clear, careful work dismantling transphobia piece by piece. It covers both the usual arguments and the networks pushing them. Long, but absolutely worth it.
