Unfortunately California is often not a national leader when it comes to progressive policy. We are a liberal bastion, often attacked by the right, but we rarely lead the charge on anything... we simply are populous and have a large economy.

Also unfortunately, this rebuke to the FTC does nothing for the poison pill of trans healthcare that's a part of congressional funding and the current shutdown.

While I agree, I do think they're trying to make a point about a need for a community that is currently under attack. The kink community isn't under attack in quite the same way, and having a space to release tensions and deal with trauma is rather important, especially when you're in the process of experiencing new trauma.

I mean, it's really not. It's purely a statement. And it is kind of the entire drive of the article.

hell yea, welcome!

This is really cute and heartwarming to read. I'm glad this is a space many of you have found comfy and useful! 💜

I wasn't asking you? For context, the person who reported it is not a fragile cis dude, it was someone who is queer and likely has experienced some misogyny themselves. Whether you wish to modify your behavior is entirely up to you, but kneejerk reactions and one liner responses aren't particularly helpful here.

I'm not going to remove this because I believe the intent is to shame transphobes, but I did want you to know this was reported for misogyny. Maybe call transphobes jerks, assholes, fragile, or some other word next time 💜

I appreciate the picture they included, as it is not flattering in any way, which is the least of what he deserves in response to his intolerance.

not wrong

That's really not how NIH grants work

I remember seeing a study once which showed regret about gender transition at about 6%.

Meta-analyses almost always put the figure at closer to 1%. It is one of the least regretted things that humans do. To provide a comparison figure, education regret tends to hover closer to 40% and parenting at 10%.

It has already extensively been studied and it has always shown that it has the least amount of regret of any surgeries, and that transgender people regret transitioning at rates often literal magnitudes lower than just about anything else people regret in their lives - children, tattoos, marriage, education, romance, leisure.
