Every person here does not sincerely believe transgender people are a threat or depraved, mentally-sick perverts. They're just willing to build a mountain of corpses to climb a mountain.
This is, in many ways, more damning then those who believe in the "Transgender conspiracy" with all their heart.

In recent weeks, the Globe spoke with more than a dozen families who have sought treatment for their children at GeMS. Two of the parents echoed Tishelman’s concerns. One father, who brought his transgender son to the clinic in 2021, said the assessment struck him as a “rubber-stamping process.” But the vast majority — speaking anonymously to protect their children’s privacy — strenuously pushed back against the allegations. GeMS, they said, has a well-earned reputation for caution. Its clinicians, they said, do not prescribe medical treatments until multiple providers are confident it is appropriate. And the psychological assessment that was discussed in court is but one step in a decision-making process that sometimes lasts years.

“The premise that parents or families are being rushed into gender-affirming care . . . without getting full information or supports, that just does not align with the experiences that we’ve had as a family or any of the families we know,” said one mother who volunteers with a support group for parents of LGBTQ+ children and whose transgender son was a patient at the clinic.

Two parents said they shared Tishelman’s concerns. One of them, the father who brought his 14-year-old to GeMS in 2021, about a year after the teen came out as a transgender boy, said he supported his son’s identity. But he said that, in his view, GeMS clinicians did not sufficiently explore his son’s previous mental health struggles, including an anxiety diagnosis. The process felt like “a conveyor belt” toward medical intervention, he said. His son is no longer a patient at the clinic. Most of the parents, including some whose children have been patients at the clinic for years, said their experience was the opposite. Far from a conveyor belt, the process included multiple opportunities for families or clinicians to suspend or change the course of treatment.

In interviews with more than a dozen parents of trans kids, all but two said the process was not rushed. Assessments were comprehensive and professional.

Also note that even the parents who think assessments *were* rushed indicate that their kids didn't end up transitioning.

The difference between youth transition and previous moral panics is that all the evidence indicates the *opposite* is the actual problem: Trans kids face far too much gatekeeping.

Based on the medical and social evidence we should be making transition easier. Instead we're banning it by law.

i feel the need to share this here. on tumblr someone sent me an ask about an umineko reference in idw sonic #75, which i'd missed. then evan and nathalie confirmed that it was actually TWO references: a character doing the crying battler face, and two bg extras colored like battler and beatrice

shared distaste for something isn't a good thing to base a relationship on and this fact doesn't really change if the thing the distaste is for is Posts instead of like, a video game

All art is performance art. It's not for nothing that David Bowie identified first and foremost as an actor. That some people abuse the dissonance between their artistic persona and their inner self to exploit others isn't an indictment of art—it's an indictment of power.

no I think he's a rich dude who wants to play the game like everyone else which means transbashing

yes that ones especially good !!

Unfortunately they went the opposite direction of much shorter songs and less focused melodic writing.
When I was really into them it felt like I was the only one really analyzing the songwriting lol, since of course it's a band nobody takes seriously at all. So I do think of it as a little special.

They weren't really writing "prog rock(power metal)" but rather expanding the expected song format as much as it could be stretched. If they did go full progressive (more dynamic variety, repeated economic motifs, etc), I think they could've kept going and pushed things even further beyond.

They were throwing in 3-4 verses, multiple prechoruses, 2nd choruses, choruses interrupted with a new interlude and then continuing the chorus, multi-part instrumentals, more and more instrument layers going on in the background, genre mixups. I think eventually they couldn't keep up the pace

They changed a lot after the 4th in terms of their song writing direction and approach. They definitely used a repeated bag of tricks...but the tricks were pretty good. I liked the strong up-front melodies and long song arrangements, and by the 4th they were really pushing the limits of that format
