I've spoken with young ladies who are taking testosterone and the cause and effect are perfectly reversed in their mind.

They think they feel bad because they're not taking enough testosterone.

These same girls have massive joint and muscle pain , but they think it's because they're not taking enough testosterone , not because of the testosterone.

The ones I spoke to were never told about muscle and joint pain as a potential risk.

Society?

And what is society? What is the "community" exactly?

Why is it anyone else's job than the parents of a child to raise a decent person? Why are there many black people who would never act the way that Anthony did?

Externalizing this problem is a huge mistake. He was responsible for his actions and his parents were responsible for him.

Everything else is just noise that invalidates Anthony's agency.

@Keir_Starmer Good to know you don't tolerate attempted beheading.

Powerful statement.

@BadreNicolas Do you think people have to hit rock bottom like he did In order to improve? I hear humility in him.

@AskWorkspace Need hep recovering email - I've tried everything. Sent a DM as well

[Dan in the North @TheBestWithinMe]

@AnthonyCumia I watched about ten seconds of that , but that's really broken windows theory in action.

The girl is already on the ground so why might as well take another swing.

This is how people end up dead.

I had the revelation this morning that racism actually does not exist.

It's pattern recognition and nothing more.

They mean the same thing but calling someone a "pattern recognitionist" doesn't have the same ring as a "racist"

[Dan in the North @TheBestWithinMe]

That may be, but it doesn't mean they WERE born in the wrong body which is what the advocates say. The advocates say they WERE born in the wrong body, not that they THINK they are born in the wrong body.

The idea if being "born in the wrong body" is nonsensical, so it must be that they think they are, and if they think they are born in the wrong body, that is a delusion and should be treated as such.

@FergusPower1 The people he's talking to don't understand the concepts of reason and logic, so even if this were to happen to them, and they got knocked out on the street , they'd still forgive it.

If psychiatry didn't exist we would invent psychiatry.

[Carrie Clark @cwestonclark]

Brilliant by James Barnes: "Psychiatry does not merely respond to suffering; it actively participates in defining it. Psychiatric institutions influence which experiences become symptoms, which behaviours become disorders, and which forms of distress are regarded as medical problems requiring professional intervention. This is an extraordinary form of cultural power. Once psychiatric categories are recognised as negotiated and interpretive rather than objectively discovered, the justification for that power cannot be sustained."

@CorralChad @ibdgirl76 Kratom and 70H

Both are addictive and expensive and easily obtained.

@RoisinMichaux What does it mean to be "really trans"?

[Dan in the North @TheBestWithinMe]

I have I would say at least ten clients who spend fifty or a hundred dollars per day and just cannot stop using it.

I think it would be accurate to https://t.co/NaVQzfSgOt has played a role in ruining their life. It's one of those things where you just can't believe that it's legal.

[Dan in the North @TheBestWithinMe]

@mooptie @ibdgirl76 Do something about it

[Dan in the North @TheBestWithinMe]

@CorralChad @ibdgirl76 For what are you advocating the use of kratom? I'm seeing more and more people have their lives ruined because they become addicted to this. I despise kratom.

[Dan in the North @TheBestWithinMe]

@cherryboycharm @AlexBen02553564 @downbadcomment I'm all good thanks bro

[Dan in the North @TheBestWithinMe]

@mooptie @ibdgirl76 Are you informing the prescriber that their license is at risk from people that are selling controlled substances?

I'm just taken aback by your casual discussion of people selling their suboxone

[Dan in the North @TheBestWithinMe]

@mooptie @ibdgirl76 Why are you giving them suboxone if you know they're selling it

[Dan in the North @TheBestWithinMe]

Then you need to get a better handle on your clients. I've discharged clients for even the suspicion of the selling their controlled substances.

I would rather have someone use Suboxone than fentanyl, full stop. I've seen people die, I've had people close to me die , and i've had clients die from overdosing street drugs.

This is not debatable.
