Not sure exactly how they’re calculating the 585 number but if you poke around on the web site, you’ll see that they’re including kids who won Prom Queen and awardees at Cannes.
585 trans athletes over a decade *is* a non-issue

This new book by Krauss sounds interesting and the timing of release is perfect.

The Supreme Court's logic in the FWS case has more holes in it than Magdalen Berns' brain.

Given that trans people seem to have this extreme and unnatural advantage in park runs, swimming, weightlifting, darts, soccer, beauty pageants, chess, rugby, etc, should we be considering giving the military HRT and turning them all into super soldiers?
They're going after Parkrun again, you know, that event where lots of people of all ages, abilities and genders run around a local park and it not, in any form, a race?

I have a new idea for politics: parties come up with a list of values then we vote for them based on their values. They actually believe some things are good and some things are bad, and they take steps to address them. They aren't empty vessels waiting to be shaped by opinion polls.

There were multiple factors for me but one of the biggest was just that I used to often discuss issues in psychology and was fighting a lot with racists, sexists and homophobes. Transphobia just went hand in hand with all those, and they somehow seemed the most unhinged so took a lot of my time.
genuinely interested by cis folks’ answers to the “how did you end up being pro-trans rights” question because a lot of people seem to’ve started with “no opinion/awareness” & grew to “fully down” thanks to social media, schools, trans coworkers/students, & THOSE ARE THE PLACES THEY WANT US BANNED.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

One of the mistakes that was made with the original Nazis was that throughout the last 80 years, they have been turned into supernatural beings by media and culture. It’s worse they are not. They are just humans doing evil things for incredibly banal reasons. This crew is no different.

Scientists should stop arguing about whether science is political and get on with defending science against increasingly powerful attacks on it, which, yes, means scientists should be political advocates 🔥🔥

In retrospect, the ‘Sokal hoax’ was, via the fact that Social Text editors were like ‘uh this article sucks ass and also we have no idea what you’re saying but we’ll throw you a bone because we want to bridge this C.P. Snowian cultural divide’ was itself a hoax on everybody that agreed with Sokal
