The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.

The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.

"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.

However...

Let's address that 0.3%.

Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:

👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.

Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.

The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.

Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.

@SwiftOnSecurity The newer Windows Terminal app no longer works this way by default, so this is less likely to happen any more

[Mark Powney @mpowney]

@SwiftOnSecurity Exact same thing happened to me during a P1 that brought down a site I had recently run the platform upgrade for. It was less obvious cos the session’s owner only had it on his screen, but they needed guidance

Why is it i put a particular twitter account on mute, because so many of their tweets were appearing in my feed unsolicited

Now twitter starts surfacing tweets ABOUT the muted account to my feed.

Get the hint, Twitter: Mute = I don’t want to see it!

@danholme I say this having not tried recent Yammer auth flows documented on Microsoft Learn. Doco mentions the need for a support ticket to be raised to fix CORS problems for single page apps. I imagine the same might be needed for a SharePoint client-side / SPFx solution

[Mark Powney @mpowney]

@danholme Auth would ideally work in different context like Viva Connections / Teams for MacOS, Windows, iOS and Android. Where CORS and popups cause problems

@LoryanStrant I studied the playlist. Only two Muse tracks?

When I saw the savage garden track I had sing the words out to get it…

🚂The old claim that Geelong to Melbourne trains were faster in the steam era, at 60 minutes, just got another airing, on ABC TV news.
Sorry, but it's not correct. In 2023, there are trains that do this trip 60 minutes or less.

Oh no! @AntonyGreenElec is predicting his own impending retirement! Can we wait for the pre-polls before he calls it please? #NSWvotes #nswelection

Looking forward to day 2 of the @FullyChargedShw expo. I’m a big fan of #RedDwarf, EV’s, and the concept of electrifying our homes. @bobbyllew is there a chance you’re offering out selfies today? 🙏 #FullyChargedLIVEAustralia #fullyChargedLiveSydney #FullyChargedLIVE

I'm trying to track down the contents of what I think was a powerpoint deck published by @vesajuvonen - it had a whole bunch of templates / style guide type material for #Microsoft365 diagrams. Can anyone help?

[Mark Powney @mpowney]

@LoryanStrant @carlosmiguelsns ... and the datestamp of the post on the @bindskins blog makes it obvious which one came first.

[Mark Powney @mpowney]

@LoryanStrant @carlosmiguelsns The similarities are ... striking!

@darrenhayes I really really hope to hear Dublin Sky tonight 😬 plus everything else

I asked #ChatGPT to give me a recipe... in the style of @Nigella_Lawson... its opening line is on point!

(nothing to fear, the recipe itself doesn't have Nigella's finesse)

@vesajuvonen I think I can see @erwinvanhunen through the woods! 👀
