If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

You ride around on bikes and cars and trains. Columbus and his men rode around on the backs of Arawaks or hammocks carried by Arawaks. These are morally different things because some objects are not, in fact, people, as a matter of fact.
an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok
i’m completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron

I spoke with five families in the D.C. region about what it's like raising trans kids in Trump's backyard.
They shared fears about being personally targeted by the federal government and their joys in raising kids that are learning to express themselves authentically in a difficult world.

Charlie Kirk was a man of violence. He cheered for violence, he helped create violence. He used violent rhetoric to inspire others to violent actions. He spent his time on this earth making it a more hateful, violent place.
I do not consider it especially shocking that he met a violent end.

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials.
My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!

"I can't believe these fascists are doing [maybe one of the top 3 hallmarks of every fascist government in human history], this is unprecedented and goes beyond fascism"
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
