The parachute study is actually a wonderful piece of art because it demonstrates so succinctly the kind of situation where randomized controlled trials are not the gold standard of evidence, and in fact reach misleading conclusions.

Because you can't recruit people to willingly jump out of mid-flight passenger planes for science, you redesign the study to engineer a scenario where the risk to the control group is minimsed. The plane is landed.

And then, because you've removed the main reason to use a parachute, you find that parachutes have "no effect" on mortality or injury.

The constraints of performing an ethical RCT guarantee this result. A result that we obviously know is dangerously wrong to extrapolate to the real-life uses of parachutes.

Now here's the thing: The people insisting that "evidence-based medicine" says we need RCTs of trans healthcare know this is what they're doing. It's extremely well established that you can abuse these "standards" to engineer incorrect results.

SEGM and their ilk are doing this on purpose because they know it's an effective way to dress up science denial in a veneer of scientific rigor.

it's good that people only call things thought terminating cliches that actually are thought terminating cliches because if people started using it to shut down legitimate arguments then we'd have to start saying that "thought terminating cliche" is a thought terminating cliche

me as a teenager: man it sucks to have no privacy or autonomy but i guess its for a good reason. when i turn 18 i will realise how young i was and understand why they did all that.

me as an adult: teenagers are an oppressed class, their abuse is normalised and systemic and they need to start killing people

Wait until God comes down to claim IP over all of creation and you artists are gonna be fuuuucked for taking inspiration from the world

I think the word "transmedicalism" needs to be reserved for ideas that support giving authority over trans identity to medical institutions, actually.

The political project of trans self-determination can't be transmedicalist, no matter how much someone says "we need to prioritize access to medical transition," because increasing access in pretty much every real-world context is the same thing as attacking the authority of institutional gatekeepers.

Like when you're calling DIY advocates "transmeds" you have Lost The Fucking Plot. You have decided that "transmed" means "trans person whose vibes I don't like." Words actually need to mean things to be useful.

Anyone who's never had to deal with trans healthcare in the gatekeeping model especially needs to put in work to learn this: What transmedicalists are advocating for, whether they understand it or not, is a system where a cis man with a history of sexually harassing patients determines if you're "trans enough" to transition.

every conversation on here increasingly feeling like this tweet

not to be pedantic but people who can read also do this, and are in fact better equipped with more sophisticated tools to do precisely this

#Everyone does this unless you actively make an effort not to.#It's a built in cognative bias. You can't escape that by spiritually connecting to the pure light of reading comprehension #You have to actually question your own beliefs and assumptions.#Which isn't to say that you have to pretend you aren't correct about things.#It's to say that you can't *assume* you're correct about things. You need to be a firm critic and prove it to yourself.

art museum websites when the artist was a communist: ...he continued to paint, despite the fact that every time someone in Soviet Russia made abstract art Joe Stalin would personally storm into their studio and start tearing apart the canvas with his teeth

art museum websites when the artist was a nazi: ...his work flourished from 1937–1945, a time where nothing particularly notable happened, and then he emigrated to the united states where he designed buildings for private universities

as a tme person with a transfeminine sister it is extremely clear to me that we absolutely do not have an equivalent experience.

she did not experience "male socialization." when i look back on our childhood, it is easy to understand that there was no privilege to that concept. she was forced to try and shrink herself into the shape of a man, and was abused when she didn't succeed at playing the part. being "raised as a boy" only highlighted the stark incongruity between what was expected of her and what she was. this repeatedly led to her facing violence.

and to be clear i genuinely don't care if you think a rude comment from an exasperated trans woman online is as equally bad as the literal risk of her being murdered when she walks outside. this is not a competition, being the most visible is not a prize. i genuinely fear for my sister's life.

imagine you had a friend who constantly made jokes at the expense of something you loved. they're never funny, but they seem to expect you to laugh even though the punchline is just, "this thing you love sucks ass". it's not even really a joke, there's nothing funny about it, you can tell that they genuinely actually believe it. but they insist it's just a joke!

no matter what the situation is, they're always bringing the social interaction to a screeching halt with these jokes. nobody ever wants to participate in this joke with them. nobody agrees with the premise. nobody ever knows what to say afterwards, it's just an awkward moment and a subject change. but they just keep doing it.

you have to stop with the self-deprecatory "humor", it's not fun for anyone including you.

#actual advice: switch to self-aggrandizing humor #have the biggest ego in the world even if it's fake #does wonders

as the smartest and most beautiful woman in the world, I can confirm this

Self aggrandizing humor saves lives. I’m an authority on this since I’m legitimately the coolest girl in the world.

Noticing a lack of gender nonconformity and then blaming trans people for it is the most bass ackwards shit in the world if you think about how any of this works for even a second. You know who Loves rising conservatism wrt sexual-gender roles? Trans people, obviously, they're stealing our gnc cis people and making them Actually Normaler and Non Controversial by getting a sex change [EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]

As we all know trans women pop out of the ground fully formed within the binary no matter what and thusly begin turning the butches into men for their dastardly purposes. We have to save cis people. For gender nonconformity

Like I literally HAVE noticed a decrease in gnc people/popularity of gnc aesthetics what with the fascism and it's because cis people are trying to get even cisgenderer. What with the fascism. It's pretty obvious what's happening here right like

Trans women making 60 cents to trans men's 70 cents is about 15% difference, literally more than the 10% gap between queer men and women pay that the same report found and people are trying to act like it doesn't matter

Pretending like you can't understand how a wage gap works is a classic part of the misogynist's toolkit

The "egg prime directive" just on its face is completely asinine.

Guy drinking poison: god why do I feel like shit all the time

Well-meaning person who is knowledgeable about poisons: it kind of looks like you're drinking poison, maybe you should try not doing that and see if you feel better?

Asshole who likes it when people drink poison: UM EXCUSE ME, maybe you should let him decide on his own? Who cares if he may not be aware that what he's drinking is poison, stopping someone from drinking poison without their consent is morally reprehensible, we must respect people's right to drink as much poison as they want. OP you should keep drinking poison and just be happy with how it makes you feel for my comfort
