@David22051994 @deeperama@TheOmniLiberal And the bill is not about puberty blockers, it’s about schools helping kids keep medical/psychiatric issues secret from their parents. Which was the case for 9 of the 11 of these kids. The blockers in this case are not relevant. “They” can be singular, geeeeeeze louiiiiise
@Friended4Ever There’s a present need for public medical support for detransitioners that will only become greater in the coming years. I hope it doesn’t get conflated with LGB conversion therapy, but it probably will 😔
@Friended4Ever From the October ‘21 study:
“Less than a quarter of the participants (24%) told their treating clinicians that they discontinued medical treatment. This suggests that […] clinic rates of detransition are likely underestimated.”
@deeperama@TheOmniLiberal Even if they aren’t getting blockers directly from the school (what’s the alternative, discord?), the fact that the majority of these kids are keeping it a secret from their parents while getting affirmation from the school is what the Florida bill attempts to address
@EmporiumFred@OchanjiSamuel@RWApodcast Before the war, dollars enter the Ukrainian government and comes back out in pretty chunks for the “wages” of children of American politicians. With mil-aid, at least there’s an American company enriched in the middle? It’s all just sick
@myriadphenomena@JoshDaws Yes! I believe this is why certain critical lenses have a spiritual aspect. The early Christian Communists have a rich history in the US (not all of it evil) but here we are.
@JoshDaws I spent a couple years in something quite like a cult and this resonates so deeply with me. It’s been a nightmare witnessing this dynamic creep into nearly every aspect of public and private life.
@__deepakk@RaymondDuke@RWApodcast Sure, I was hyperbolic. But that isn’t very stable, is it? Lies and spin have immense strategic value for preserving power in situations like this
@icydeadpeeps @Make_USA_Blue @RekietaMedia Yeah, I think you might be being a little too charitable with how good faith the rumor mill is, but that is the sliver of truth the rhetoric refers to
