It’s part of a thread that aims to present the idea that being a transperson is really an outlet for other unresolved problems like abuse or mental health and that this is a common problem that ends with the claim that pushing this, that it’s “easier” to transition and live as a transwoman than as a gay man when gay…

They’ve also said they’re “transwoman in presentation. male by birth” and “I don’t identify as a woman. I identify with women.”

To say this view is idiosyncratic in the trans community is really underselling it. It’s like when white people quote Candace Owens to prove they’re not racist.

I think the problem is that comparing the very real issue of doctors throwing medication at depression without any real plan is not at all comparable to how HRT is treated. The barriers to getting hormones for trans people are often enormous and doubly so for young trans people, often with fatal consequences as people…

This is true, but it is also true that many people who could be helped by anti-depressants refuse to take them because of the societal stigma against mental health problems which makes them feel they are weak and if they can’t just “buck up” and be stronger then they shouldn’t need meds. Pushing that line of thought…

In the abstract, over prescription is a serious problem that warrants continuous discussion. It’s a non sequitur to a discussion of trans people, though, and that’s precisely the kind of insidious rhetorical strategy that she’s using. She analogizes getting a prescription for antidepressants to the much more fraught…

The problem here though is equating the issue of a lack of funding for therapy when it comes to mental health to transgender transition. As I’ve put in my main post this user who claims to want to have a nuanced take has clearly been well indoctrinated into Gender Critical cultery (and it is a cult from reports of…

Oh, they’re starting to go after bi people again now. It’s great

Here’s that first user now claiming to want nuance a couple days ago:

Criminal Minds is the poorest possible man’s version of the worst episode of Hannibal.

Some of the most anxious men that I know are also some of the biggest horror movie fans. My read is that those men are using the movies as a way to confront their fears in a safe environment. It doesn’t strike me as at all strange that women have a similar relationship to media that largely depicts female-centric…

“I pray for him”. Suddenly, I’m on Gibson’s side because pretty much no one who has ever said that hasn’t been a liar. 

Sir, are you somehow implying in writing that the police aren’t awesome and wholey deserving of the right to execute criminal scum with automatic weaponry on sight? Until you’ve patrolled the mean streets of the city filled with lawless multiracial psychopaths eager to throw your innocent daughters to the ground and…

After watching a Forensic Files, I now make sure to ALWAYS lock my door when I do my laundry in my apartment complex (a good habit anyways but I wasn’t always so rigid about it). I’m not saying every woman consumes true crime media to get helpful hints on not getting murdered/raped/assaulted but there is an element of…

Even Brooklyn 99 will occasionally point out how flawed cops and the justice system can be. Im guessing the audience for NuSwat don’t want the cops to ever be wrong.

Whenever I read about Criminal Minds I immediately think “Unsub, unsub, unsub, here an unsub, there an unsub, everywhere unsub unsub ...”

“When Criminal Minds launched in 2005"

Wow.  This show ran 15 years on a major network with one of my favorite actors ever, and I literally never heard about it until now.  

What’s fraudulent? As long as he pays for his pizzas when they’re delivered to him, it’s a legitimate business transaction.

“maybe, but fuck DoorDash!” That’s an awesome quote.
