Quote:White people police our response to oppression more than they take action against the folks doing it.
While our leaders who dared challenge the status quo of white supremacy were assassinated by the very violence they deem abhorrent when we speak of using it in self defense. they want us to use the tools that are used to keep us oppressed in the first place to free ourselves from the oppressors and anything outside of that is uncalled for. We always have to have our conversations within the white framework.
Same thing here. White comfort takes precedent over the truth. Banned books are banned based on how it makes the white cis majority feel. Our history being taught depends on white feelings. And here whether or not we can tell the truth depends on how white people feel about it. And we just gotta sit and wait for white people to understand our feelings and come to terms with the truth before we can talk openly about it.

Tell us about those banned books, my dear.

Oh, that's why Hogwarts Legacy is actually very progressive, and has been praised for the options available in its character creator?

Like, in regards to sourcing. Even outside this thread, if I ever want to post a seemingly leftist or pro-Palestinian source/account/writer/etc, I gotta triple check on whether they've ever had a bad opinion on any subject even if it had nothing to do with Palestine (or really progressive issues in general), because I know the moment I post it someone's gonna get in my face about how dare I cite this person?! They said x about y!
Meanwhile, we have to tone-police ourselves even before getting tone-policed by others over those who are considered respectable, and it doesn't matter what despicable shit they've done or said, they're not leftists or pro-Palestinian, they get a pass!
Moments ago I've seen a clip of Owen Jones saying the following, and it's very spot on:
"These people walk from crime scene to crime scene, spattered with blood, calling for more blood - and are still presented as men and women of moderation!" OK. I hate to be the one to stick up for dumbs but get a grip people.
B-Dumbs: “Hey everyone, I agree that the NYT has issues but let’s refrain from using this conspiratorial tone and bad faith arguments to discredit the paper. This is the same type of tactic used by conservatives and has no place here.”
RE: “OMG did you just call me conservative? WTF that’s the last straw. It’s so hurtful that you would associate me with the group that doesn’t want me to exist.”
He didn’t call you a conservative you idiots. He said your extremism is blinding you to the truth and causing you to say some pretty embarrassing things. And for once he is right.
There's their actual problem with trying to have a discussion on a what is ostensibly a discussion forum, and its not unique to anyone in particular.
It's that the moderation decided to enforce 'banned sources' for criteria unrelated to reliability.
Spoiler: (click to show)(click to hide) Also that the fucking 'banned sources' list exists entirely in random moderators fucking heads so nobody even knows who is on it

We sheltered them, we fed them, we clothed them, we educated them, we gave them all the opportunities they could ever want with our tax money.
Hell these days we even invent bullshit DEI jobs for them.
And all they do is complain. Never once a 'thank you' or being happy that they're safely in the west, free to voice their opinions and not dying in some shithole.
Fuck 'em. Just give them what they want and send them to Hamas if they love them so much or let them experience the greatness of communism first hand in a North Korean labour camp.
lift a weight, fatty! you might not die a virgin if you start now!

Quote:Paul,
I had a meeting on September 21 with Dr. Cass and members ofher team. This was arranged by Dr.
Ritta Kaltiala, a Finnish psychiatrist who I have worked with in the past. Dr. Cass sent me an email
after our meeting with information she wanted to share with the board. I forwarded that onto to you
on 922/22. I will resend it to you. The email to contact the Cass Review is
I have also sent an email to the AAP's executive director, Mr. Mark Del Monte, asking to to
him or a designated AAP leader regarding AAP policy. Hilary Cass is the former president of the
Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, which is Great Britains equivalent to our AAP. Dr.
Cass had questions AAP policy that I could not answer. After having to and learned
much from leaders in gender medicine in Finland, Sweden, England. Canada, the US and other
countries. I thought it only prudent to try to with AAP leadership. lhis week is the AAP's
annual national conference. I am cærtain Mr. Del Monte is busy with that conference. I will let you
know if I hear from him.
I also exchanged a few emails with Erica Aruierson Monday night. As we discussed, Erica is a
transgender woman. She and I have exchanged emails and by phone regarding youth sex
transitions. She was the president Of US-PATH but did not serve and resigned after coming
under criticism for expressing safety concerns regarding youth transitions, Quoting from her email
last night, she suggested the followmg nught worth contacting.
"My former colleague Stephen Rosenthal, MI) was a President of the Pediatric Endocrine Society
and one the the authors of their 2017 Guidelines, At WPATI-I if your focus is youth standards I'd
suggest Scott MI) one of the Adolescent leads. He is a highly regarded child and
adolescent psychiatrist and now on the WPATII Board." I asked for their email addresses but she is
gomg to have to think atx»ut sharing those and get back to me.
The following links are to articles that feature Erica Anderson.
Thank you,
Patrick
Even by the usual rejecting reality and substituting their own, how THE FUCK can you read this and come to the conclusion its a 'smoking gun' proof that the results of a 5 year investigative report were rigged from the get go?
Like... it is fucking LITERALLY "I as a professional provided contact details of other professionals in my field to another professional who requested it", with a super sized side order of implicit guilt purely by association

This dropped first in the thread about the Trump trial and the reactions there were very torn between deriding and 'maybe it's about Israel!':

I was gonna post my own reactions thread with a sci-fi analysis of the concepts but maybe not.
What I'm most surprised by is how realistic/scientifically accurate the quirky sci-fi elements are here. Enzymes lowering the amount of atomic energy needed to gain new powers? That's literally what enzymes do in chemical reactions, by lowering the activation energy barrier to produce chemical reactions that would otherwise be left to random chance and very slow kinetics. 😍
Even the fallopian tubes look somewhat anatomically accurate, with mucus being understandably representative of disease and damage, and viruses with protein capsids crawling about like spiders. That's so fucking cool. The parasite enemies even look like parasites.
This game rules. It's like Mario meets Metroid meets Super Meat Boy meets scientific realism in clinical veterinary biology.
