In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kids—or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kids—they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, “there would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.

What’s the place below the abyss?

look, I know I've been pretty anti-AI on here, but if anyone who sees this has a chatgpt subscription, you should cancel it. the us just went to war with iran and openai put themselves first in line to profit. even the other AI companies think this is insane. no judgement, please cancel if you can

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

"I don't see what difference it's going to make," says Iranian American scholar Ervand Abrahamian in response to reports of Ali Khamenei's death. "Even if the top is decapitated, there are other people already there ready to replace them."

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

"What Palestinians in Gaza are being faced with is, you either fully bend the knee and accept a colonial apartheid regime as your overseer, you accept a new reality as dystopian plantation workers on Jared Kushner's real estate project — or, we're going to kill you."

We Must Raise Our Voices Against the Attacks on Trans Care The Gender Liberation Movement’s Raquel Willis says trans youth “are our future” and that new HHS rules amount to a national ban on gender-affirming care for young people.

"We must continue to build a culture that affirms and supports trans youth and their truths," says Raquel Willis, co-founder of the Gender Liberation Movement. "They are our future and we better start acting like it."
