I haven't seen a single article about how Matt Berry or Kit Harrington or John Lithgow or Keira Knightley or fucking Nick Frost AND Simon Pegg have very publicly made it clear that they value a big blood soaked paycheck over human rights

Even if these sick ghouls are correct, slavery is still a crime against humanity. God cannot permit, authorize, or condone slavery; slavery is wrong in all cases, under all circumstances, and absolutely nothing can change or challenge that.

Doug Wilson co-authored a (plagiarized) book that defended the institution of slavery *as it was practiced in the antebellum South*. This is how Douthat introduced the subject while providing him with the NYT's platform:

Douthat: So, just to take a related example, one of the controversies of many that you’ve been mixed up in has to do with slavery, and whether slavery is absolutely forbidden by the Bible, absolutely forbidden to Christians, or whether it is critiqued, but allowed for.

Wilson: Right.

Douthat: And you think it is critiqued, but allowed for.

Wilson: Right.

Douthat: On this, on a straightforward reading of the New Testament, I would agree with you. I would say, pretty clearly, there is a pretty clear path from the message of the Bible to the abolition of slavery. But there is no moment in the New Testament when Jesus insists on the manumission of slaves.

Wilson: Right.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

I don't know but one of my hobbies is trying to erase someone's gender dysphoria without actually transitioning them.
It's a rare ethical situation, because the patient has to really want that, and there has to be some plausibility to doing it.
Last really good success case was an 18-year-old who wanted to be FTM and showed up insisting that I should give them testosterone because they had aw path letter.
They had a BMI of 13.5, they were like 5'8 and 70 something pounds. It was wild. They insisted on being not anorexic. But despite how skinny and tiny this kid was, they had a relatively deep voice for an AFAB and obvious hirsutism.
They were very very mad when I wouldn't write them testosterone right out of the gate, but I had to inform them that they were actively dying, and if I didn't do anything about it they would definitely die. Got some lab testing done and it revealed what I expected. 11 beta hydroxylase deficiency.
Kid had a cortisol of 2 lol.
Treatment of the deficiency resulted in complete resolution of gender dysphoria within 30 days.

I like how the avatar of transphobia and gatekeeping in the video for "Morbid Obsessions" is a guy dressed as a plague doctor, a literal avatar of psuedoscience, archaism, and doctors who don't know what they're fucking talking about

The young progs yelled at you online, and, well, I guess you showed them! You helped render their culture an ugly, violent, stupid, contemptible wreck that will likely take decades to return to any form worthy of pride.

You showed those fucking kids! That will teach them to talk back.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

it's so cool that we live in a world where like five guys can get in a room and say "know what'll save us money? killing trannies" and then they get ten more guys in the room who are REALLY into killing trannies and decide that's how society works now and we all just deal with it
