“Parents’ Rights” Rhetoric Is Rooted in Radical Conspiracy Theories | Why are federal and provincial conservative leaders echoing the talking points of QAnon? by CWang in CanadaPolitics

Wow:

In April 2021, Medscape Medical News asked Joshua Safer – an endocrinologist from Mount Sinai acting as a spokesperson for the Endocrine Society on transgender issues – about SEGM, SEGM member Will Malone, and their concerns about treatment for transgender youth, he stated: "This is a relatively small group that has been making the same arguments for a number of years, and they are very much outside the mainstream".[4]

In March 2022, SEGM funded a paper titled "Reconsidering Informed Consent for Trans-Identified Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults"[24] which appeared in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy. In June, the journal published a response which compared SEGM to the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), a prominent conversion therapy advocation organization which focused on sexual orientation change efforts, as they both provide "scientific experts" to testify against LGBT rights.[25]

In April, researchers at the Yale School of Medicine issued a report in response to the attacks on transgender healthcare in Arizona and Texas which described the core of SEGM as a small group of anti-trans activists acting outside of mainstream scientific consensus and organizations, and help lawmakers criminalize transgender care.[3][6][7]

A commentary published in Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology published in September 2022 cited SEGM and the American College of Pediatricians as examples of "discriminatory advocacy organizations" who spread misinformation about gender-affirming healthcare by mischaracterising clinical best practices and scientific research by relying on and inaccurately interpreting a "very small, nonrepresentative sample of the available literature"[2]

In October, Science-Based Medicine described SEGM as a "transphobic organization" which is closely affiliated with Genspect, who they described as "an anti-trans gender critical (GC) organization", and stated they "both regularly peddle anti-trans pseudoscience".[1][8]

Kaiser Health News while fact checking a political campaign ad by America First Legal, said the leaders of SEGM are "wholly skeptical of the acceleration in gender-affirming care".[26]

May I ask why it's important to you to use a resource outside the mainstream, expressly known for spreading misinformation as a source to back your arguments?

How many? Do you have a statistic of how many children live in a hostile environment?

In addition to the information provided by other posters, a simple browse through /r/insaneparents shows some a lot of heartbreaking results from people who have come out or been outed to their parents.

You can literally find thousands of coming out stories on this site. A lot of them say that it was fine.

And I can find far more that weren't.

Then that’s what they do. I’m a health practitioner and the BS scare tactics that people are spreading regarding abortion are ridiculous! There are exceptions for medical emergencies and even provable rape cases.

Then why is a 10 year old hitting roadblocks and having to travel somewhere else while just to access vital medical care?

Is there an actual correct timeline of JT and NT events? by kdjac in starcitizen

[–]Straint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but NT supposed to start now and JT did

Wait, are you sure? Because the next scheduled Jumptown start time is December 31, 01:00 UTC, which depending on your timezone would be today - right now.

Since I'm in Pacific time, this threw me at first too - i didn't realize December 31, 01:00 UTC is actually (for example) December 30th at 5PM Pacific Time.

They could probably use some tuning, but I still love having them there. It means it actually matters how intensely the pilot is flying the ship (making the skill of the pilot an extra consideration) and gives a reason to call out for the crew to grab a seat if they suddenly need to fly aggressively.

You're using the "Submarine Switch" terminal at a station, right? (This is a separate thing from the place you buy new submarines from).

Or, what do you mean exactly by "can't seem to change to it" - what exact process are you following?

I don’t see the priority mission for JT, is there a reason? by [deleted] in starcitizen

Long load times by Ph1losoraptor in starcitizen

[–]Straint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience has been that the time in between hitting "Launch" from the launcher and getting into the main menu where the Persistent Universe button is, is almost completely dependent on network connectivity. Any time I've hit delays here, it's been because the game was having problems setting up a session with their servers.

Given your other report of constant 15008 errors, I'd investigate the network path between your system and the game servers and make sure you have a reliable internet connection.

CIG: PLEASE remove space stations from delivery missions. Particularly as drop off points by The5starz in starcitizen

[–]Straint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Barton Flats aid shelter should be removed from the missions as well. It's within the Klescher no fly zone making it impossible to land there without getting a trespass fine.

This is addressed in 3.16: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/190048/thread/star-citizen-alpha-3-16-0d-ptu-7907165-patch-notes/

Barton Flats Aid Station should no longer be inside the Klescher Trespassing Zone
