STILL no trans people or drag queens implicated in the Epstein Files.
Plenty of TERFs though.
It’s almost as though every “gender-critical” transphobe is trying to protect cis men who abuse women and girls by helping them distract from the real threat.

The internet is revolutionary to free speech because it empowers individuals and citizens to route around censorship in all its forms—even a captured “free” press.
This is why private platform governance; law on internet access or online content, and anonymity online will always matter.

Minneapolis has FIFTY YEARS of inclusive laws protecting trans people, allowing them to self-identify, and ZERO cases of trans people attacking women in the bathroom. ZERO. Over FIFTY YEARS.
The narrative is that trans people will harm and harass people in the bathroom, but it almost always is actually like this case where the aggressor is the transphobe confronting the trans person. It's ridiculous. They want to kick "undesirables" out from public life entirely, if they could.

This is a good example of why beginners to strength training get discouraged.
As a beginner, basically *all* of your strength gains are neurological: learning how and when to fire as many muscle fibers together as possible.
Almost none is hypertrophy, gaining muscle mass, for a while.

Let me tell you a story. Perhaps you can guess where this is going... though it does have a bit of a twist.
I was poking around Google Scholar for publications about the relationship between chatbots and wellness. Oh how useful: a systematic literature review! Let's dig into the findings. 🧵
