There is never going to be a Perfect Study that eliminates transphobia, and if nitpicking is what is keeping someone from supporting trans rights, I don’t think they were ever going to be much of a supporter to begin with.

If 10% of people detransitioned because they no longer consider themselves trans it wouldn’t matter, because expressing your gender identity is a basic right everyone has as a human being, regardless of what regrets other people have about their own choices. Nobody is ever going to be able to guarantee you’re not going to wind up regretting any given action you take, that’s just life.

Looks like a low res cam + shadow to me. Matches up with the direction of light for the shadow cast on the wrist.

Synthetic fibers are a fucking nightmare too, just actively sanding it and creating all those microplastics right there, without even washing it away, possibly BREATHING it!! gives me the heebie jeebies after learning about how much plastic is in our brains.

Does Puerto Rico not get funds from feds for roads? I thought funding for that was tied to the drinking age being raised to 21, but now that I’m thinking of it that might be interstate funds. Which PR wouldn’t need for obvious reasons.

That’s often how transphobes define detransition, because they have to juke every stat they can. (Not saying that’s why the authors are doing it, but they are probably having to navigate a scene filled with data based on that) When bigots say X% detransition, they don’t mention the *re-*transition that many go through, or that many detransitioners don’t “return” to their birth sex identity because they never had a binary gender identity to begin with.

By their definition I’ve detransitioned before when I was off hormones and not making an effort at presenting as male, but it was 100% situational and I knew it was a temporary thing while it was happening.

Transphobes intentionally muddy the water by letting people assume that the colloquial definition most people use—deciding you aren’t transgender and that you want to return to your birth sex—is the same one they’re using. But it’s absolutely not.

I don’t even want to think about all the microplastics created when people sand their builds they’re going to throw in the trash or ignore after a week. Small comfort that most people are too lazy to even do that. People are more careful around wood dust than microplastics, it’s nuts. And like, wood dust isn’t harmless either! Don’t breathe any of it, but definitely don’t breathe the plastics!

They’re probably lying about it, both because they know it looks bad to be fucking with kids and because being unsuccessful makes them look worse in their eyes.

Honestly you should assume all supplements are toxic and full of heavy metals, because that shit is virtually unregulated.

Sales metrics, I guess. Ikea always asks for it when you check out, and I remember having to ask people when I worked at a retail clothes store untold ages ago.

God dammit, not Frank! He was just a week away from retiring at the banana factory!

You still have REM as far as I know, you just don’t remember it.

Source: I also smoke a lot of weed, but have screaming in the middle of the night PTSD nightmares I don’t remember when I’m woken up from them.

You know the joke, if people had wings we wouldn’t fly because we’d consider it exercise? That, but with escaping the Matrix and landlines. You can still go pay your phone company to activate one… just nobody does.
