Bernie looks well and truly bothered to be in the middle of this shit. But am I reading that right - is it mainstream to say that a past career as a prosecutor a negative now?

“you’re saying trans women need male-centric care, and that’s simply not the case.” Uh... some do, is my point. That simply is the case. I’m not comfortable with any metric of ‘trans-hood’ where we imply that ‘real’ transgender individuals pretty much always undertake reassignment procedures, even if they live outside…

To be honest this is what I think is the actual answer (your second paragraph) but I can’t help but feel that it’s an area full of potential landmines. I’m sure a researcher tasked with gathering empirical data would punch us both in the nose for telling them that more data is always good - even if that’s true, it’s a…

I agree that hormone treatments, past or current, as well as surgery, should factor into any medical decision, but not all transgendered individuals undergo medical treatments. From what you’re saying a doctor should take into account hormone treatments and surgery, but that doesn’t say anything about misgendering…

To be honest I’d take significant issue with the sweeping “most of the issues” - there are some issues that are linked to hormone treatments, but far from all transgender people undergo hormone treatment, and many non-transgender people do... I’ll agree that any treatment or trial should absolutely be done with the…

Honestly I just wanted to know if there was a reason, and preferably avoid talk about how transpeople ‘actually are’ something else than who they are.

“What happens to medical research or clinical drug trials when a dataset misgenders or omits thousands of people?” Is this an actual concern? Wouldn’t a woman born in a stereotypically male-labeled body want drugs that are, I dunno, designed for the characteristics of a stereotypically male-labeled body? 

Wouldn’t it be faster to just say it’s a simple Football Management game with DotA boys and girls in it?

A robot that never acts like a robot, a child raised by a robot that never acts like a child raised by a robot, a post-apocalyptic world that never acts like a post-apocalyptic world, and a movie that never acts like it expected its audience to give a shit.

Billionaires have mild possible spat, news at god damn you

“even if everything most people know about ninja is wrong.”

This movie had some good setup but they forgot to write an ending, didn’t they.

Well yeah, you know why these mistakes wouldn’t happen under the metric system? Because we’d still be living in caves.

No it wouldn’t. Eberhard signed an agreement not to disparage Tesla. It’s not mutual; it would be insane for a company to sign an agreement not to disparage individuals.

Somebody I never heard of thinks somebody who is an idiot is an idiot; the AV Club thinks it’s news.

“I have no problem with people not wanting to see a brutal rape scene, but when it’s this freaking great, why would they want to miss out?!” Man her statement started out respect-worthy and took a turn.

“It makes sense that Nakamura was so well-prepared for the spotlight.” She did very well, but it certainly wasn’t because she was exceptionally ‘well-prepared’. 

So you’ve found that there’s a worse thing, and that completely negates this bad aspect of a different thing. Slick.

Why on earth would there be a speed limiter on the vehicles when they’re on the bike path? That’s the only place it makes sense to have the scooters, and as a bicyclist I would hate to have them go at walking speed in my bike path.
