ie, the Fake Goth’s latest fucking transphobic attack platform, designed to convince the world that those eeeeevil trannies and Big Pharma are just tricking poor autistic lesbians into thinking they’re boys.
This is literal TERF propaganda.
And of course transmeds trot it out as “proof” that we need more gatekeeping.
The study only used second-hand accounts of the children’s experiences. They gave parents a survey about the relationship and perceptions they had with/of their child.
The study is full of leading questions, assumptions and errors even with what was collected. It was supposed to be about trans youth and one of the premises of the whole thing was that kids were getting their ideas of being transgender from online sources. But again, the study ONLY asked questions of the parents so what you have is best guesses from the parents. Which… isn’t really relevant if you are studying the experiences of trans youth.
The study never collects data from the youth themselves. “Youth” in this case being folks ranging from 11-27, so many of them are young adults who could have been asked directly. But the subjects of the study, that is trans youth, are treated as though they have no autonomy and as unreliable sources of information themselves.
It’s a bad study being rejected for bad practices. While the topic itself is one of those hot button issues, it’s not being rejected because it is a taboo or “not politically correct” topic it is being rejected because it is bad science.
Like freshman failing first year statistics bad science.
maybe they should try gatekeeping the fucking SCIENTIFIC METHOD for a while
“Reblog, or else that means you don’t care about X”
“if you don’t reblog, you’re a terrible person”
As well as:
Reblog for good luck / money!
I will make an exception for people looking to find other people to follow, or looking for info. I’ll signal boost for those posts.
But nine times out of eleven, if you put “Reblog!” on my dash, I won’t.
I made this announcement a while ago, but I can’t find it in my archives, now. So I’m making a point, from here on out, to repeat this on a regular basis.
I know somebody who drunkenly punched Rob Glaser at an industry party in 2002 and ever since I found out I’ve been jealous that I didn’t get to drunkenly punch Rob Glaser at the height of RealNetworks shittiness.
look I don’t want to tell anyone what to do but if you go down that path you will wake up a thousand years later and all your great-grandchildren will be dead
Separation of young children, in fact any children, from their carer is
child abuse, and I would love to see those who initiated and implemented
this policy charged with this offence.
We were never supposed to know about this. The Trump administration pretended there was no “child separation policy” until NYT reporters broke the story (after weeks of denial on many levels of the government, and high-up officials completely denying the # of children taken).
Children were taken from motel rooms without the parents knowing why or what was going on. Children and parents were asked by ICE/border agents to take pictures together, and were then asked to stand several feet apart for separate photographs, and then the children were taken with no explanation. There was no reason given during these separations because there was no official policy and nothing documented.
The reason many families will never be reunited is because the unique ID # of each family, given as they first crossed into the border, was deleted and changed after the children were taken. Those children were reassigned ID #s as unaccompanied children after they were forcibly separated from their families. As in, the system shows that all of these children crossed into the border alone, and there is no official record of who their families are. Again, this was done without any official policy in place.
After all of this came to light: that’s when the Trump administration announced their “zero tolerance policy” at the border. For them, if everything had gone according to plan, nobody would know about this. Many families will never be reunited because that was never supposed to be an option to begin with, this was supposed to happen with no official evidence.
