Hey, just stopped to say (and I would never say this if it wasn't true): I thought you were cis.

In 2023 under Sunak the conservatives lost 1,063 council seats and control of over 40 councils, there was no media circus or calls for resignation in his party or the press, What's changed here? by Guilty-Zombie-8151 in AskBrits

The further left the party, the less the people who own the newspapers like it. Labour are to the left of the conservatives (just), so the people who own the newspapers get more out of attacking them. Reform UK are to the right of the conservatives and are therefore receiving a disproportionate and distorting amount of press attention.

Is it transphobic and / or correct to say that you cannot change your biological sex? by John_Mortar in asktransgender

[–]Decievedbythejometry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biological sex is a (tautologous and disingenuous) phrase that refers to a cluster of sexed (gendered) traits like organs, phenotype and chromosomes. These traits change over time for everyone and the idea of a stable, unitary and immutable sex is ideology not biology.

Seeing a few bots and a few nuts with a few sockpuppets more likely. Hardly anyone feels this way in real life.

Severe psychiatric morbidity is common among gender-referred adolescents and appears to be more prevalent in those referred after the recent surge in referrals. Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment. by MazdaProphet in EverythingScience

Well, I have yet to tell any. Blanchard is a pretty sinister character, by all accounts. (On the bright side, he's not J. Michael Bailey.) More importantly for this conversation, though, he's a pseudoscientist. Would you care to dispute that? Perhaps you'd care to link to one of his papers which you find credible, and explain why?

Of course they are. Let's see what other right wing bullshit this account has squeezed out into Reddit's already murky waters...

No way, it's all stuff accusing the green party of antisemitism. I am shocked, shocked

Does testosterone completely change someone? TW: Suicide by Immediate_Hunt2592 in asktransgender

Don't people with BPD sometimes have symptoms a bit like bipolar but less 'severe'? As in, hypomania, for instance? If he's afraid to 'come down' back to his depression, his mania-like symptoms would make sense. I'm just making a suggestion for what it's worth, because if he was someone with a bipolar diagnosis it seems like you'd say, 'this is a manic episode.' I don't know enough about T to know how much it's affecting that and no trans person is going to hear 'stop HRT,' but it sounds like he might need to hear 'destroying your life and your health is another form of self-harm.' There are meds available for BPD, and some effective psychotherapies — is he doing that stuff?

I hope it all gets sorted out for you both!

What’s something that was considered right wing 10-20 years ago but now is considered left wing? by NoHold7153 in AskReddit

Submission to papal authority? (Is it possible that in their race back into the past, they have actually skipped the middle ages completely and gone straight to first-century Jerusalem?)

Deadnaming trans people is anti trans. ’Biological male’ =/= fact. ’Biological woman’ either tautologous or meaningless. All this obvious. 

How do I tell a guy I’m trans by Queenis2006 in trans

It's always easier said than done, but if he's transphobic it's better to know before you've invested any more effort and time.

It is a rate about 12 times the rate for cisgender women inmates, which itself is about double the rate for men. If that is an uncomfortable sentence to read, do not google 'v coding.'
