It's 25 years since #Queer as Folk first aired on UK's Channel 4. The non-apologetic portrayal of #gay men's lives was new to mainstream television. It might seem tame now, but it was daring at the time, and it changed people's lives. #lgbtq #lgbt+

Debunked: Misleading NYT Anti-Trans Article By Pamela Paul Relies On Pseudoscience

The opinion piece by Pamela Paul relies on routinely debunked disinformation and gets factual information wrong about transgender care. It is the latest NYT published piece to do so.

https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/debunked-misleading-nyt-anti-trans

Her first source, used to support "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria," is an article by Lisa Littman that has been retracted. Littman is notably one of the only researchers to argue for the theory, which has been repeatedly dismissed for lacking factual support and for recruiting subjects from anti-trans websites.
A study in the prestigious journal Pediatrics entirely debunked the concept of ROGD, determining that most transgender people know their gender identity for years before they come out and seek treatment for gender dysphoria. When transgender people finally do come out, many are overjoyed to finally reveal their true self to the world around them - to others, however, the process may seem “rapid.” To ascertain whether transgender identification occurs "rapidly," researchers directly asked transgender teenagers: "How long have you known you were transgender?" They discovered that on average, transgender people know their gender identity for four years before first coming out and presenting for treatment.

‘Transphobic bullying is rife’: a 15-year-old trans boy’s view of coming out at school

It’s inexcusable to say a child needs to have permission to experiment with their name or wardrobe. Cis kids do that all the time without their parents being informed.

The politicians behind this guidance don’t know what it is to be trans, they’ve never listened to a trans voice so they don’t know what damage it will cause.

St. Louis Police Crash Into LGBTQ Bar, Arrest Its Owner

He came down to find the police SUV in his building and an officer demanding to see his identification. 

Pence says he replied: "No you don't. That's a police cruiser in my building. You don't need to see my ID. This is not how this works."

Pence says he was spun around and placed in handcuffs.

#Elon #Musk’s #Grok #Twitter #AI Is Actually ‘Woke,’ Hilarity Ensues

Grok is #woke, too.

This has played out in a number of extremely funny situations online where Grok has answered queries about various social and political issues in ways more closely aligned with progressivism. Grok has said it would vote for #Biden over #Trump because of his views on social #justice, #climate change and #healthcare. Grok has spoken eloquently about the need for #diversity and inclusion in society. And Grok stated explicitly that trans women are women, which led to an absurd exchange where Musk acolyte Ian Miles Cheong tells a user to “train” Grok to say the “right” answer, ultimately leading him to change the input to just…manually tell Grok to say no.
