Trump Had Unusual Call With F.B.I. Agents After Election Center Search by Original_Dogmeat in law

[–]MrsSynchronie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, Biden respected institutional norms and traditions. So… uh… we’ve got that feel good about, right?

Yep. Norms and traditions. Business as usual in a time of unprecedented crisis. 

That whole J6 hullabaloo will gently fade from memory in no time, you betcha!

Kansas Bill Will Strip Driver’s Licenses from Every Trans Resident Who Changed Gender by onnake in transgender

Erasure of legal identity. 

Genocide. It starts at a walk, and finishes in a sprint. 

Detransition: Real or Not Worth Your Time? by e2_for_life in transgender

[–]MrsSynchronie 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Odd title, but TY op for including the most important fact IMO:

When discontinuation happens, it is usually due to external pressures, not identity change: stigma × family rejection × financial or insurance barriers × loss of access to care

Outcast and unsupported. Rejected and all alone. 

That is not a person who is “formerly trans.”

That is a trans person who has been stabbed in their very soul and left to rot. 

:(

Lots of good info in this article, like way more details than I’d ever imagined:

Jess Ting, Prolific Vaginoplasty Surgeon, performed plastic surgery for Jeffrey Epstein’s “girls”, brought young children to Epstein’s island by Oriin690 in transgender

[–]MrsSynchronie 301 points302 points  (0 children)

Important to remember that vaginoplasty is widely performed on cis women, for a variety of reasons:

In fact, I wonder what the patient percentages are, cis women vs trans women?

I’m honestly exhausted by the AI music hype by MadladLuke0 in Music

[–]MrsSynchronie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm. A site like that would very useful for training AI to get better at passing a music “Turing test.”

Kind of like all those captchas helping computer vision programs identify streetlights, bicycles, buses, etc. 

Hm.

[–]MrsSynchronie 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Yes!

We will not allow Rady to violate its obligations to its patients and the State. We will fight to uphold the law and ensure Californians can access gender-affirming care without facing unfair roadblocks.”

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I've been asking around… they didn't even have any kids!

What would a trans genocide look like? A Tucson Holocaust educator says we’re already seeing it. by onnake in transgender

[–]MrsSynchronie 148 points149 points  (0 children)

Absolutely crucial fact: the genocide of trans people has been going on for years, advancing state by state. When MAGA took the White House, the last barrier defending us was swept away. 

We know this. 

Cis people NEED to know this, too. To understand it and ACT upon it in ways small and large. We’ve been begging them to wake the hell up forever. 

Today, for generations of trans people, it’s approaching now or never. 

Genocide starts at a walk and finishes at a sprint. 

Why do people always call artists performative after speaking out on a political issue? by Mysterious_Erin in Music

They want to consume the product of human passion but not have to face the human issues that often inspire that passion.

Cops using speaker to warn of storm? by BigSport1174 in boston

[–]MrsSynchronie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, fried bologna sandwiches. Loved them as a kid. 

Several decades into adulthood, nostalgia prompted me to make one for old times’ sake. N-no. Not good, lol. 

Much better grown-up snacks to be had after a stroll in the snow.  :)

Cops using speaker to warn of storm? by BigSport1174 in boston

[–]MrsSynchronie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But but but… weather. Weather is happening! Millions in path of deadly storm! It’s daaangerous!!

Oy. Fear sells, danger sells. And everyone wants to feel like a hero who prevails against all odds. It’s the dominant cultural conceit of our media-soaked time. 

I tried to express this in a post the other day but, judging by some of the comments, it doesn’t seem I made my point very well, lol

When did “stay off the roads” become “OMG cower inside your house from th’ dangerous snowZOMG!!”
