Specifically, they claim that Grannis et al 2023 shows statistically significantly higher levels of suicidality, depression and anxiety in AMAB youth who received estrogen, compared to those who did not. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE. The differences were *not* statistically significant. 2/n

This is advanced technology. It prepares its response before the question is even asked. This implies that it has knowledge of future events and is able to predict what the question will be.

FIRST PERSON | When my spouse came out as trans, we had to learn who we were all over again | CBC News Courtney Bates-Hardy has always been able to talk to her partner about everything. That openness remained a mainstay of their relationship after her partner told her she was trans and as the pair went...

I wrote a First Person story for CBC that came out yesterday about my partner coming out as trans and the ways our lives changed. There’s so much more to our story, and this is just a small part of it.

How a trans woman's removal from a restroom tore the world of competitive pinball apart Pinball is one of the most welcoming sports for trans players. But after a confrontation at an arcade last fall, pinball’s governing group is struggling to rebuild trust.

I keep reposting this article because it needs to be seen. This is what responsible journalism on a discriminatory act against trans people looks like. Jo put in the work.

It's no longer just my and others' personal accounts vs. random men with opinions.

The actual text of the act is very concise as far as laws go. You can read it in a few minutes. (The part that prohibits redactions is Section 2 (b)) www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

The second bullet point is entirely fabricated. There's only one prohibited ground for withholding in the act. I guess whatever generated this text predicted a bullet point being there and then got locked in to creating a list.

biggest flaw of the zombie apocalypse genre is that they just refuse to go "fine, the zombies are magic." so we're stuck with endless "the zombies are still around months after the outbreak despite having none of the faculties needed to sustain human calorie intakes"

First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people 
who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. 
This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her. 
Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine, 
Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. 
Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles,

Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles,

What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. 
We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine 
On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns. 
Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way. 
We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.

Dear @nytimespr.bsky.social. Your press release re comments I gave to @transnews.network includes many errors but one assertion is true: β€œTNN featured an interview with a former editor on the International desk at The Times who was not involved in these coverage decisions.”

That is the problem

If you're using a library you might be able to just update it. They're also making the end-to-end DAVE encryption mandatory for voice on March 1st, so you will need to update soon either way.

I think this is for the discord voice API right? They used to support xsalsa20_poly1305 as an encryption method. It's listed as "deprecated" in their docs, and supposedly was removed in 2024 (although it was still working for me in July of 2025). discord.com/developers/d...

When are we to expect newspaper front-page interview features with Dr. Beth Upton about her two-year ordeal of having her right to anonymity removed and her name dragged through the mud and being decried as a sexual predator only for a tribunal to clear her and find SHE was discriminated against?

the judge who refused the doctor being harassed by a bigot at Fife the right to anonymity throughout these proceedings and ultimately led to her name and photos being published by the press and all of the harassment that has happened since

I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno whatβ€˜s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol

Been going back and forth in my mind about it since I saw the news last night and have concluded that, yes, I do expect organisations to stand up and fight transmisogynistic legal challenges - even if it means that organisation ceases to exist.

Statement for members on our equality and diversity policy An update on our equality and diversity policy following the Supreme Court decision of April 2025

Trans children denied participation in society because of the Supreme Court and EHRC. To attack us adults is one thing but to attack children is another. The UK needs to lose its GANHRI A accreditation.

women will go to a hangout with a guy and things will be going well until the girl casually mentions she finished this book and he'll go home and start posting stuff like "Our future is ruined because of wokeness and women with fake degrees" meanwhile the girl went home to play video games with a bunch of weird discord transsexuals and she named her character "beegirl" and she keeps saying stuff like "i'm beegirl" and the discord transsexuals ask what kind of bee and she talks about carpenter bees for 10 minutes and everyone loves it and learns a lot

This is being required of trans teens in the UK in order to start puberty blockers. There is a limited time period in which PBs are even useful.

Are there ANY medical treatments that require this many pre-requisites? This is designed to exhaust patients so that they age out of the system.

A ripped apart copy of Alberta Bill 9.

Alberta just introduced Bill 9, which exists for one and only one purpose: deleting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as it pertains to trans kids, denying them the right to life and stripping their healthcare away.

This is cruel, anti-democratic and anti-constitutional.
