All of the data on detransition rates mathematically imply we that current screening methods prevent too many children from transitioning.

The Economist hides behind anonymity to spew a grotesque distortion of research that, to any reasonably minded person, makes clear Trans+ people deserve affirming support This isn’t journalism - it’s anti-trans propaganda that puts young Trans+ lives at serious risk Cowardly. Callous. Contemptible

The constant framing of hormone treatments as "irreversible" is also just so fucking disingenuous. Every body is changing, constantly, but hormones can be changed through medication whenever we want! We're constantly fucking with our hormones in some way or other anyways.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

*noticing that the rapture is supposed to happen on Tuesday* nice of them to put it on the same day my book comes out. will probably improve my Goodreads score overall

Man, I do kinda want to believe in the rapture if it means a lot of aspirationally heavenward bigots will just vanish suddenly

Knights of Guinevere is my kind of shit ⚔️

The labs were so fun to draw, thanks for the incredible vis dev on these @eyecager.bsky.social (and art direction, of course!)

Alrighty, let's post some KoG background designs! I drew all the factory shots in the pilot, these are my favorites 🏭

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

I have a lot more BGs to sift through that I'll post through the upcoming week! For now, closing it out with Frankie and Andi's house. Definitely one of my favorite drawings. : ) #KnightsOfGuinevere

They took Charlie from "who?" to "free speech martyr" to "fuck that guy" in the space of a week. Incredible, really

I do think MAGA managed to make the Kirk assassination their 9/11 Not in the sense they wanted, but in the sense that they took their brief window of public sympathy and strip-mined it so totally that everyone hates them even more, now

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

Genis and Mithos are friends!

So am I allowed to reference the critically acclaimed film classic Alien(1979) on Bluesky or have the goon police decided a franchise built on a metaphor for violent rape and forced impregnation by a creature with a dick for a head is suddenly too much for their modern sensibilities? #bskycensorship

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

I made a GRAPHIC NOVEL with @madjesters1.bsky.social! BONES OF THE VOYAGER follows Nina, an indie director dealing with problems on set and her depression—which is embodied by a sarcastic skeleton named Vincenzo Get it on Amazon: bit.ly/4pkcVfV #BookSky #IndieBooks #IndieAuthors #WritingCommunity

Hey everyone, my dear friend published a graphic novel! Go buy it, it’s absolutely lovely.

At the end of the day people who insist on only using the discover feed, instead of making a searching for things & people they enjoy by making a following feed into a community of their own, need to learn to actually use the internet and moderate their experiences with the tools provided.

I would say.... that the day of this supposed "rapture" bs is happening everyone on every social media site should just spam en masse this www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gr0...

really hoping they're right about Tuesday being the Rapture because a world without Evangelical Christians sounds like a literal paradise

I have been trying to find a job since I moved to California in December. And I am not without skills. I have a masters in architecture, worked in both residential and commercial/corporate. Interviews,yeah. But no offers. And the number of new jobs being posted has massively slowed since December.

The average of all Charlie Kirk eulogies seems to be: "He loved hating people, just as we do. We should hate people more in remembrance." And they wonder why the share of people who self-identify as Christian is on the decline.

showing you more of my girl as a treat

There’s nothing more surreal than watching a centrist try to meet the Nazis halfway during a time when Nazi stormtroopers are literally kidnapping folks in broad daylight.

it's better to think of the useless centrist 'expand the tent but only rightwards' media people & politicians as blockers paid to occupy space that could otherwise be utilized productively by a serious person. their opinions are pre-approved by their donors and will never change

The amount of times simple nudity was flagged as sexually suggestive, but also, full on smut was labeled as sexually suggestive even though I already labeled it as adult is mind blowing. I don't trust this site to make proper distinctions.

Honestly thinking a system that'll happily flag 'too round' breasts as suggestive would somehow handle censorship of any kind well is naive. Some identities and bodies are unfairly seen as inherently more explicit than others and you know they are always the ppl impacted in collateral damage

This is Guinevere, as well. #KnightsOfGuinevere ##knightsofguineverefanart

jesus thats so misleading!! (the way the study is being presented i mean, not the post im quoting) like no cis normie reader would guess that from how it's presented. wouldnt even occur to most that a change from like "trans girl she/her" to "genderfluid transfem they/she" is a change at all

This is why click bait headlines and research reported by people who don’t understand data is so dangerous. Thank you for clarifying the data.

Oh, you mean the article whose headline suggests that transitioning as a child is harmful might actually be obfuscating the truth? Truly, I'm shocked.

Thread. These are pretty important details, given that they undermine the transphobic framing of the Economist article linked here!

This is why science comms is critical. You could look at the deMayo et al study and easily overlook the fact that shift in gender change among trans youth was not towards cisgender identities. AND a significant number of youths assumed to be cis ended up being TGD

You mean to say a magazine that deals daily in statistics yet can't read a simple data table and just happened to have employed Helen Joyce is misrepresenting data relating to trans kids? How curious
