The Implausible Girl

"Transgender social contagion" is just "homosexual social contagion" recycled by people who hate all LGBTQIA+ people

The WSJ just platformed Colin Wright claiming "evidence backs the transgender social-contagion hypothesis." This is pseudoscience wrapped in statistical sleight-of-hand, published by a biologist with zero expertise in gender identity or clinical psychology. Let's dismantle this rubbish. 🧵

They did ask why.

He said "ask the doctors". He didn't say which doctors.

Whoever they are, they cannot legally answer that question unless the president allows them to in writing. Also, his doctors have a history of lying when he asks them to.

"How dare you call us racists and fascists"

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there. Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." - Frank Wilhoit

On December 29th, 1170 King Henry II said: 'Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?' and the next day Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was killed.

Trump and members of his administration make a habit of that kind of language on a daily basis

Side-by-side comparison of proposed 2025 Trump US $1 coin next to photo of 1933 German Hitler 1 Mark coin with the US coin labeled 'Fascist America 2025' and the German coin labeled 'Fascist Germany 1933'

It is ILLEGAL under US law for a living person to appear on US money. The Trump administration doesn't care. They are planning on doing it anyway.

History is definitely rhyming here.

Tell me again how this isn't a fascist regime

Since Johnson is refusing to call Congress back into session because of fear that a vote on releasing the Epstein files will happen when newly elected Democrats are sworn in, I'm sure this will make the military all just LOVE Trump and his authoritarian project \s

The US government is allowed to *not pay them* as long as it acknowledges that it *owes them* the money.

Yes. Really.

So in addition to being part of a political intimidation campaign that most of them despise, US military families now get to try and survive *with no income*

\2

Something many people do not know is that members of the US military (including the National Guard) don't get paid during government shutdowns unless the Congress passes a separate bill for it. Which it hasn't yet.

I am not going to compromise my values. I am not going to speak in platitudes or shy away from the truth. And I certainly am not going to throw immigrants or trans kids under the bus because some consultant told me it polls really well with Republicans.

For Bradley Majors, for Janet Weiss
Living well meant living right
Boys to girls give diamond rings
Girls to boys give everything

But Frank showed up and let them in
A space invader soaked in sin
Janet found herself afire
Bradley shaken by desire

Two years ago Republicans pretended this wasn't REALLY their plan and that trans people were just overreacting

*This* week prominent Republicans called for everything from forced institutionalization to public execution of transgender people in the wake of FALSE claims a shooter was transgender

Graph from an article published in Criminology, Criminal Justice, Law & Society - Volume 22, Issue 2 showing that ideologically motivated homicides by the far-right have consistently far exceeded those by the far-left over the last 35 years.

Screenshot of table 1 from study showing that 84.4% of fatal incidents and 87% of fatalities from domestic terrorism from 1990 to 2020 were due to far right ideology.

On Friday the Trump administration deleted a study on showing that far-right domestic terrorism FAR exceeds far-left domestic terrorism. The study is still available via web.archive.org/web/20250911...

Excerpt from paper: The current study also found that there was no difference between groups in cognitive empathy, suggesting that those who view Trump favorably know how others are feeling but do not care. These results are in line with research that shows persons with psychopathic propensities display a pattern of ‘inverted’ social reward in which being cruel is enjoyable and being kind is not (Foulkes et al., 2014). Relatedly, Strupp-Levitsky et al (2020) found that the moral intuitions of care and fairness are positively associated with empathy, and meta-analytic research shows that these moral intuitions are associated with a liberal ideology (Kivikangas et al., 2021). Taken together, empathy disturbances help to understand the association between malevolent personality and conservative ideology/positive view of Trump.

You've heard 'cruelty is the point'?

It isn't just a talking point.

Trump voters LITERALLY find cruelty more enjoyable than being kind to people than other voters.

Newspaper clipping from The Oklahoma Courier (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) dates Fri, Jun 9, 1961 * Page 7 "I am totally opposed to the Freedum Riders," the Monsignor told an NCWC News Service correspondent here. "You don't diminish racial tension by increasing it, and that is what the Freedom Riders are doing."

Lett Appl Microbiol . 2020 Sep;71(3):251-258. doi: 10.1111/lam.13306. Epub 2020 Jun 4. Assessing the individual microbial inhibitory capacity of different sugars against pathogens commonly found in food systems L Mizzi 1 , D Maniscalco 1 , S Gaspari 1 , C Chatzitzika 1 , R Gatt 2 , V P Valdramidis 1 Affiliations PMID: 32357252 DOI: 10.1111/lam.13306 Abstract Highly concentrated sugar solutions are known to be effective antimicrobial agents. However, it is unknown whether this effect is solely the result of the collective osmotic effect imparted by a mixture of sugars or whether the type of carbohydrate used also has an individual chemical effect on bacterial responses, that is, inhibition/growth. In view of this, in this work, the antimicrobial properties of four sugars, namely, glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltose against three common food pathogens; Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica, were investigated using a turbidimetric approach. The results obtained indicate that the type of sugar used has a significant effect on the extent of bacterial inhibition which is not solely dependent on the water activity of the individual sugar solution.

Concentrated sugar solutions have antibiotic properties
