Data from at least one large study suggests that more than 50% of detransitioners subsequently retransition again. I am looking for anyone who has transitioned twice and is not currently cis, to interview for a study I am working on about on retransitioners.

I’ve been saying gender markers need to be taken off all forms of any government ID for 11 years now, there is zero amount of validation you will get from that as a trans person that is worth any government having that information about everyone

Wow, this almost suggests covid is implicated in an unbelievable number of deaths. And that vaccinated people should wear respirators if they want to remain abled.

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

Good morning Kimberly! =^uwu^=;;
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble logging into Jellyfin! It looks like your SSO account was indeed deactivated on 2025 Dec 15.
According to our records,
1. On or about 2025 Nov 15, you were broken up with by ___, who noted this as a “final break” on vis event report sheet. I’m also seeing that Ve ticked the “Unilateral” box, meaning it isn’t contestable.
2. Our Salesforce shows you aren’t close to any other polycule members
Unfortunately, our solo-poly access policy doesn’t allow us to extend resources to unpartnered members after the 30 day grace period following your break. This includes entertainment resources (Jellyfin / *darr / nzbget / Pornhub for Enterprise™ seat), as well as O365™, Adobe CC™, and shell access on the Nix clusters. We’re so sorry for your loss, cutie!! 😭💜
If you have any questions, you can reply to this email to generate another ticket, or you can contact zzzoeee@ from our Partner Infra team (note: three Zs and three Es in their LDAP, we have a lot of Zoes here!)

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett casually confirming that 2D of Gorillaz is non-binary now is not what I expected from this album promotion cycle but y’know, yeah, cool, good for them!
![Albarn: That's the lovely thing about Gorillaz - it's still committed to everything existing in its own world. It's why l put that sound on my voice to separate me from [cartoon lead singer] 2-D. He…. Well, I actually don't think he's much of a he, he's more of a 'they', isn't he?
Hewlett: They're definitely more at home in that [non-binary] world. They're a sweetheart, they're open and accepting new information.
Albarn: Exactly, it's such a nice place to sing from.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vmhrtckqi7ghdoqhf3lgvm4y/bafkreifoqfxkzjxz6oq5zh75dmks7wgy75zkpercumnvqubrm2vde4tdxy@jpeg)
