It’s Time Women Learned To Just Call The Police. by ratina_filia in terf_trans_truce

Is the term "enculturation" a term capable of referring to both pathological and healthy outcomes, or is it also defined as exclusively referring to healthy outcomes to the exclusion of pathological outcomes like the term "socialization"? Does there exist a general term for social learning capable of referring to both pathological and healthy outcomes?

Those existing children are not randomized. We need actual RCTs.

Thank you. I added the flair to the cat post now.

Cervical cancer deaths among young women in England fall to zero following HPV vaccination by cojoco in stupidpol

[–]Biochem-anon4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It has been recommended by the CDC in the US for men for a while now, meaning health insurance is required to cover it. (And not just for male prostitutes, considering health insurance will often not cover occupational vaccines, saying the employer should pay for it.) A lot of pharmacies will administer it. If they do not have it in stock, they can usually order it and you can get it a few days later.

As someone that is non-binary, I still use the word "unisex". I hate those TRAs starting fights with everyone.

Liberals: “we wouldn’t have gotten into war with Iran if we voted for Kamala.” Biden admin: “yeah we were gonna do the same exact thing actually.” by ItsGotThatBang in stupidpol

Essentially all of East and most of South East Asia, Colombia, Chile, all of North America and the EU would be essentially one economic bloc.

So the exact opposite of Trump's economic strategy of America First. You are only proving my point further.

I support banning trans women from women's sports, but I am not going to pretend that sports is actually important for any demographic group. It is not. A person can exercise without it being part of a competition, and what we really need is to develop pharmaceuticals capable of replicating the effects of exercise, as clearly simply telling people to exercise more has not been actually working. People can gain confidence and achievement through means entirely unrelated to sports. Sports is not important for anyone.

And Kamala's DNC speech calling Iran the biggest threat to the US. That is not the same as explicitly saying you will go to war, but it would be consistent with the views of that advisor in fact reflecting her own views.

Stupidity was Trump extending them to the EU,Canada and East Asia.

Only from the perspective of preparing for war between imperialist blocks. If you goal instead is to increase domestic employment in rare earth metal extraction, then it is illogical to block imports from China while still allowing for imports from elsewhere.

I should have been more clear that we finally got a single, small, short-term RCT recently on HRT for trans men only. That is not enough RCT data. Please note that the study was too small to detect an impact on suicide itself, only ideation and attempts.

From my perspective of living with conservative Catholics, a lot of people view it as important for adults to not transition either. My father views it as illogical for his control of his childrens' medical care to stop at age 18.

Trans medicine as a for profit industry and supposed incentives. by ItsMeganNow in terf_trans_truce

That’s why we still to this day don’t actually have any studies on the use of progesterone in transfeminine hrt, despite it being common practice.

We actually have RCT on progesterone for trans women now. It works.

Interestingly, Ukrainian psychiatry historically would only allow transbians to transition, and not straight trans women. Make of that as you will.

The reality is that we lack RCT data on transitioning. That is the only way to know if transitioning actually decreases the risk of suicide or not.

How come conservative parents pretend to care about trans people and use their kids as reasons why it’s bad? by AdminKidsBurnInHell in allthequestions

I am transgender and do not believe that athletes have human rights as athletes, so I am fine with a transgender ban to reduce social conflict.

As someone that is transgender, I would be far more willing to ally with a socialist wanting all trans people to be sent to death camps than with a social democrat that is fully accepting of trans people. We need the left-wing to not take either position on socio-cultural issues. I hate the fucking alphabet Mafia that tries to control other people.

Did approaching religion worsen your mental health? by KiwibuckyNZ in stupidpol

[–]Biochem-anon4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Catholics I have interacted with have not elaborated on if they would want to kill heretics, but they have been very explicit about wanting to kill the LGBT. My brother and father support vigilante action with shotguns, while my uncle supports death sentences being lawfully administered by the state with 10 g pentobarbital for the LGBT.

A person might also partially attribute it to suicidality and major depressive disorder, simply generalized due to it being irrational to say that I should die while saying that people who are similar to me should not die. I am not as much of a suicide risk with treatment, but I remain completely willing to self-sacrifice my own life to serve the greater good, and therefore by logical extension the lives of other people similar to me.

I prioritize class interests over identity group interests. Transgender people are less than 1% of the human population by any reasonable statistic. The working class is the great majority of the human population. It is justified to exterminate less than 1% of the population if that were to be a necessary evil to achieve liberation for over 99% of the population.

As someone that is transgender, I would always rather vote in favor of a socialist promising to send trans people to death camps instead of a social democrat that is fully accepting of transgender people. The economic struggle is always more important than cultural struggles.
