It would certainly be nice if lefties and marginalized groups also got strapped and learned how/when to use their weapon.

Is suicide not a life-altering decision you fucking moron? Do you think that tattoos are as much of an emergency as gender affirming care?

Address what I actually said and sourced dipshit.

I’m not going to talk about trans women in sports as that has already been addressed in another comment.

For your trans children comment. Why? Why the fuck? You know that them not transitioning doesn’t mean they’re not trans, right? You know that it just means they’ll likely kill themselves, right?:

Yeah, you are a shill for an ad-hoc political movement meant to keep the rich powerful:

Definitely not a transphobe though.

The JSTOR article seems to be loginwalled. You can get access to it from here.

You could have just Googled this if you just wanted an answer…

If anyone doesn’t want to give Reddit any kind of traffic, the answer is this:

There have been studies done on dead transgender people that demonstrate that trans people have differing brain structures; a trans woman’s brain will have many (but not all) of the features that a cisgender woman’s brain has. The same goes for trans men.

There is no such evidence for transracial people as that’s not really a thing. Race is much more of an artificial concept than gender, and has little biological basis. Black people are not of a different race than white people, they simply have different genetic traits that are well within the boundary for counting as the same species.

race as a social construct: http://www.jstor.org/stable/188702?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

Brain regions can be considered masculinized or feminized depending on their response to sex hormones (look up the preoptic area for a well-studied example of this); there’s no such thing as a ‘race hormone’ that can ‘blacken’ or ‘whiten’ brain regions.

For the uninitiated

Started playing Factorio 🤤

I think the OP meant websites blocking Tor, not their ISP. Most sites using Cloudflare won’t work when connected to Tor.

Accurate for most other eroge too tbh.

And I don’t fucking believe you grew up “super left”, unless your overton window has moved so far to the right that you see liberals as “super left”.

Now I have no fucking idea what your exact ideas are, but I will be assuming they largely coincide with Lunduke’s from the way you’re wording your temper tantrum. Here’s what I found about him in around 10 minutes of digging:

1. He mocks and belittles people who are more than four times more likely to get assaulted and have sky-high suicide rates. His mocking isn’t even accurate. Even skipping over the fact that gender isn’t synonymous with sex, trans people who have medically transitioned ARE females. Sex isn’t just about the producing of gametes, that would mean infertile people (like women in menopause, or people just born without a functioning reproductive system) would be sexless. Sex is a combination of multiple biological characteristics, and achieving most of them (such as having the correct hormones) would make you fit the description of male/female.
2. Seems to also be against vaccines. Definitely just “a couple of off-hand remarks”. I have seen other sources claiming this, and also him believing in other conspiracy theories too but I’m not willing to pay for his shitty articles so I guess I’ll never know how crazy he is in this regard.
3. Anti-DEI, expressed in the screenshotted video. This is way too complex of a topic to discuss here, but here’s what I’ll chime in: DEI’s purpose is largely to mitigate the generational economic suffering caused by systemic racism from the past centuries. It does this by giving priority to applicants in minority groups. It doesn’t cause less qualified people to get the job, nor is it fucking racist to force companies to give both white and black people an equal chance at getting employed.

I doubt ML’ers will do much against you, but if they do you can just fuck off to X anytime you want if you want to be able to regurgitate lies your internet daddies told you (truth). That site welcomes such people.

I was talking about the “playful banter with the most evil people in the world” text when I gave the Tucker Carlson example.

Their religion debates are mostly against evangelicals and biblical literalists, who generally do think that their beliefs are rational, so an in-depth deconstruction is really beneficial, a lot of the time not to the caller but to the impartial layperson viewer.

I understand your criticism here, but also one can’t make do without the opposition making some content like this, especially when this sphere is dominated by uneducated right-wingers like Joe Rogan.

I think that description fits dipshits like Tucker Carlson much better though.

And I don’t like formal debates either as no debate I’ve ever watched to this day has had a moderator who would be willing to keep the debaters on topic and force concessions when they try to evade, move goal posts etc. I prefer live, online discussions much more.

And platforming morons is only bad when one can’t debunk them, or when one is too kind and meek to actually properly push back. This is why I like Professor Dave and a lot of the people hosting The Line. They do not argue in that docile way typical of leftist commentators. They call their opponents out for lying, force concessions, and do not act kindly to them (unless they’re literally just misguided).

So, scientists and skeptics on a talk show debunking fundamentalists and reactionaries on guest calls count as “low-iq comedians having a playful banter”?

Did you have no better source for this than a far-right “anti-woke” shitstain?

Does this count as a podcast?: https://youtube.com/@qnaline

Thank you for your answer <3

I have one more question: it seems that after starting HRT I have to do blood tests every 3 months or so to adjust my dosage. The issue is that I’m underage, and I have to attend my appointments with my mom who would presumably be notified about my transitioning. And even if the doctor turned out to be non-problematic, I would still have to explain myself and why I wanted to get those specific hormones checked out in front of her.

So are blood tests actually a must do?

Really grateful for your help. I’m going to go sleep for tonight so I won’t be able to respond right now, in case you answer really quickly :D

The only issue for me is boobs. As far as I’ve read, the size of them will mostly match those of one’s close relatives, which I really can’t have if I want to boymode my way through my conservative school, and early onset puberty is also a common occurence in my lineage which may make me develop them faster.

I’ve heard that some drugs may help laten this, but I don’t have the source for that right now and I also don’t believe I can get any of them without a prescription. Binders are also an option, but I would have to wear them for like 16h per day which seems to be twice the recommended amount of time, and there is also the possibility of it not hiding them well enough for me to not get harassed.

Please tell me if you have any advice on this ❤️
