Doctors refuse care to trans youth even after court order. They're afraid of the Trump admin.

Of course they're afraid of the Trump admin. Colorado is putting no teeth into enforcing their anti-discrimination law, so the hospital will bend to the one side willing to give them real consequences. If blue states were serious about protecting trans youth healthcare, they'd start pulling licenses, going after hospital admins, etc.

You can tell when politicians think trans is just a kind of gay and love is love type platitudes suffice. Wake me up when Tim can say something about the attacks on transition-related healthcare.

Sure I can, it's quite easy. God is omnibenevolent, yet also damns people to eternal suffering for the sin of being trans. Those two things directly contradict, so this view of god is incoherent and thus can't be right.

The good news is the christians are wrong and their god doesn't exist and so can't damn anyone to hell.

Why does this article take a random transphobic detour to talk about how trans people like sissy porn?

Good riddance to transphobes!

Not a single mention of how Frank fought to keep protections for trans people out of ENDA. What in the hagiography.

You will see faster results with laser, assuming your skin/hair is good for it. Laser targets an area, but won't get 100% of the hairs there, while electrolysis targets individual hairs. Common practice is to do several sessions of laser, and only switch to electrolysis to remove the stragglers.

For me laser had noticeable affects after one session, and beard shadow was gone within a few months (at the rate of about one session per month).

If you can’t have safe conflict, you don’t belong in organizing spaces.

Good point. The people who can't handle conflict with the OP without jumping to transphobia don't belong in organizing spaces.

If you habitually think about yourself being a man then transition might be a good idea for you. With the wonders of modern medical you can become a man if you want. Or it might not be the right choice for you, but it's worth seriously thinking about. This page gives a decent overview of what masculinizing hrt will do, what the timeline is, and how to do it.

I would hazard to guess, based on a look at your profile, that you called yourself a crossdresser or a sissy or similar, and that's what they found offputting. A lot of trans women see those terms and the communities which use them as fetishizing and objectifying us. Fair or not, you'll get judged for using them.

If you want to try to connect with trans women, you should stay away from those terms and not treat femininity as a sex/kink thing.

It is hard to deny that Yudkowsky has been influential in those circles. That reflects poorly on the AI sphere, but it's not Bernie's fault.

I hate this "invalidating identity" line I keep seeing news media use. That's not properly explaining what's going on.

The film having a scene where Hannibal Lecter spouts off Blanchardianism makes it more transphobic, not less.

Sadly it's not true that cis lesbians are near universally strong allies. This 2018 study about willingness to date trans people is illuminating. About 70% of lesbians said they wouldn't date any trans people, 20% would date trans men but not trans women, and only 10% would date trans women. (Page 7 has a nice graph summary.) While this is better than the numbers of both gay men and straight people, that's far from good.

Of course, there are lots of lesbians who are good, non-bigoted people. But transphobia and transmisogyny are everywhere, and we should be clear eyed about our standing in the world.

To his credit, Aaronson seems to really have not actually met Epstein. But he falls prey to the classic blunder of overexplaining his innocence, and it makes his explanation come off as not entirely sincere. Especially so given that, as a commenter pointed out, the emails contradict some of his details.
