I know lots of things are happening but please be mindful about sharing things that will trigger or traumatize people when they have no way to curate it.

For example: images with no text and no alt text that are full of antisemitism and slurs.

14. Data is powerful, but only as reliable as the person interpreting it. When fundamental errors go unchecked, misinformation spreads at lightning speed, shaping policy and public perception long before the truth can even lace up its shoes.

12. Readers should be skeptical of any “research” that skips the scrutiny of independent peer review—especially when it comes from ideologically driven academics using partisan platforms to launder bad data into public discourse.

7. When Eliason re-ran the numbers correctly, the trend line flipped entirely, showing that the share of students identifying as neither male nor female had increased, not decreased. Kaufmann’s analysis, in other words, didn’t reveal a cultural shift—it revealed statistical malpractice.

Also when a liberal makes a general "men are trash" comment and then gives The Stare in horror that they now have to choose between misgendering me or saying "not all men."

in the wake of the uk supreme court ruling, any of the variations on “so you want trans men in the women’s bathroom then?”, usually with a photo of a passing trans man attached. it’s meant to be allyship but it’s genuinely doing more harm than good.

even more common than that though is the broader way that cis people will speak to trans men in a way they would absolutely never speak to an equivalent cis man (ie same age, race, social context, etc). usually it’s infantilising, but can also be hyper-critical of how we perform or “chose” manhood.

But like I said I'm agender so there's no real "passing" for me, and while I'd prefer to pass as a man over a woman, another layer to me not liking the compliment could be related to just not wanting to be perceived esp about things I can't control
