💔 Boys and men take 15-20 years on average to disclose sexual trauma.

New review found masculine norms, shame & fear of disbelief create unique barriers.

Disclosure less likely when perpetrator was someone close.

Gender-sensitive support needed.

A photo shows the aftermath of the strike on an Iranian school. A headline reads: "U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says." More copy reads: "An ongoing military investigation has determined that the strike, which killed mostly children, was the result of a targeting mistake. The finding undercuts President Trump’s claim that Iran could be to blame." Photo by IRIB TV, via Agence France-Presse

The U.S. was responsible for a strike on an Iranian elementary school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people, most of them children — was the result of a targeting mistake. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

THE BIGGER PICTURE BEN APPEL Genspect NOVEMBER 4-5, 2023 DENVER, USA Ben Appel is a writer living in New York. His memoir, "Cis White Gay: The Making of a Gender Heretic," with Bombardier Books, is forthcoming. His work has appeared in Newsweek, Spiked, Daily Mail, Washington Examiner, Queer Majority, and UnHerd. Follow him on X @benappel.

From a Genspect article... We all agree that autogynephilia is a paraphilia that can cause dreadful harm to women. How to tackle this issue is where the conflict lies. Some people believe that all AGP men should never be allowed to speak; nor should they be allowed to show their face in public; indeed, according to many, there is no space where AGP men should ever be allowed to exist. Put simply, some people believe that they should either hide themselves for ever more or they should die.

Ben has done quite a bit of work with Genspect, and he was a panelist at their conference in Denver in 2023.
That’s this conference👇that afterwards the Genspect board had to write an article wherein they stated that their members wanting to kill trans people was going too far.

OMG

Whoopsie.

WSJ is shocked, shocked, that the ideological cranks & their political backers are actually bad for business.

A little slow on the uptake there, financial wizards…

Ha. It's a small victory!

Oh finally! Your can save drafts on this app!

In 2023 @enirenberg.bsky.social & I wrote about RFK Jr's role in the deadly measles outbreak in Samoa (time.com/6289037/robe...)

Turns out, Samoa was a trial run for the horrific, deadly anti-vaxx activism he's now inflicting worlwide 😔

Thx to @bymichellersmith.com & colleagues for their reporting

Did a few extra kilometres this morning after #parkrun to get more distance to train for half marathon.
Horrid conditions today compared to Wednesday when it was sunny and dry. Yet i ran further. WHY??

Samsung health app information: 11km 1hr 21 min 958kcal Selfie of me in cap, headphones somewhere in Hove.

It was dry and sunny on Wednesday but for some reason I wasn't feeling it and ran only 11k.

DHS agents in Minnesota drove in front of a moving car

They pulled their guns as they stepped onto the road

And threatened a woman who was legally filming them

This is the winter of our rage. Bless the protesters in Minneapolis.
