The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2]....
In a general sense I'm in favor of the community using the tools that are fully integrated to curate their experiences. If you desperately need lemmy.world and beehaw you can sign up someplace else, that doesn't block either. They don't have to deal with each other, and your experience continues on.
Y u p. I'd been thinking about getting out for a while; management of the site has sucked for some time, and it was pretty clear things weren't going to get better. They have, instead, gotten significantly worse. This was a nice kick, with a lot of push towards getting a critical mass of users onto a new platform. Even if most of the reddfugees don't stick, some will, and kbin / the fediverse can keep rolling forward. I deleted a 2 year account, and a 13 year account. Cya!
I saw this posted to Hacker News just now. Looks like it might be the start of something useful. I assume that one can suggest additions (or other edits) by emailing the curator using the address on the upper right of the page.
“The mention of abortion advocacy is the issue here,” a Twitter employee told North Carolina candidate Rachel Hunt, according to emails HuffPost reviewed.
Look, it's the public square! It's very important that it have free and unfettered discussion by the people who will tell me I'm great for hurting some other people! Liberals and leftists whine about how nobody should be being hurt, but where's the rush of exercising power to not hurt people?
I expect it'll take a while for kbin / the fediverse to acquire, and me to find, segments focused on some of the niche areas I had on that other site, but ehh. I knew there would be costs in leaving.
the hormonal affects of testosterone clash hard with female neurology
Clash in what way? What was your internal experience of that?
"cis" is transgender nomenclature and not actually a medical term. I'm different from a typical male because I have female neurology and feminized physiology. Typical men do not have this.
The neurology, to my understanding, you came with out of the box. The physiology came later, with estrogen infusion. It's the former that I'm interested in here.
My understanding of my own symptoms comes from my own lived experience. Medical literature lines up with my symptoms and issues, and so do others with transsexualism.
Which literature? Point to books. Name studies. Identify researchers. Do anything to point to something grounded, because you keep claiming authority from it and then backing down when I ask for literally any reference.
which ones have I not clarified?
I'd like exact definitions for your understanding of: Transsexual, transvestite, transgender. There are probably others but this has been kind of a long conversation.
transsexualism has been scrubbed from modern diagnostic manuals and has had conflation over the years, so there's no really a good one to point to.
Can you point to any sources on this? If it was such a standard definition surely it's written down somewhere?
I think that you exist, that you're putting multiple things into one category and splitting categories along very nonstandard lines, and that generally the view you've expressed fail to cleave reality at the joints.
Also:
Modern studies (and common sense) have also shown partial feminization of physiology.
So there are studies you could point to?
Also common sense is not a good basis on which to judge reality. Many find it common sense that the earth is flat, because, "Look, you can't see a curve!"
I nuked two reddit accounts, one of them a 13 year account. They might undelete my posts, which isn't great, but ehh. They might be able to bring back the content I had provided, but they'll never get any more from me.

The bill we passed was for the debt ceiling, and among other provisions, it contained an agreement on the spending bill, the one currently in dispute. The dispute here is that they're throwing out that agreement, immediately.
He hasn't been shy about talking about trans people. He's guided by the applause lines, constantly a/b testing which ones get him a bigger response, and since the ecosystem of the right has been building us up as the new bad guy, the crowd loves to be reminded that they should be mad about us.
It's not just a few bad apples, but a problem with the barrel making and empowering bad apples?
Sure wish we'd had a bunch of experts telling us that for a long time!
I am being more sarcastic than I think I have permitted myself so far, but aargh! We know what the problems are and have for a long time, we just aren't allowed to fix them!

Figured I'd save people some effort reading through the page.
This is why, some time ago, I decided I was never going to try to go the "stealth" road. Society, and particularly the subset of it I was a member of, really needed me not to. I don't regret that decision... but I am worried that one day it will get me thrown into a woodchipper.
Well, it's like this: When your view of the world is based on things being black or white, hierarchies being real, natural, and desirable, and you encounter someone whose very existence threatens to tear out those foundations, you can either examine your axioms and build a new foundation, or attempt to destroy that person's existence. Generally, people who have done the former don't have the anti-trans rabies.
Pssht anger isn't a real emotion like those wammens get! It's just how real menget things done!
