— Medical transition is classified as medically necessary. It's not something your trans friend can simply put aside for a while in the event of something you personally think is a greater crisis. That's like trying to cut out the expense of glasses by just coercing the wearer to close their eyes.

— Trans women don't have an advantage over cis women in sports. Every conceivably sport-related part of our bodies is changed by the hormones we take in such a way that it becomes like it would be in cis women. Statistically, we actually tend to underperform.

1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;

At first they circulated freely with the ducks in the barnyard, and it became clear that Jerry was happier with his new ducks friends than with Tom and the ducks were perfectly at ease with this new member of their flock. Tom found his own turkey tribe eventually, while Jerry just loved the ducks.

They say it’s not what you know but who you know, but increasingly, it’s who knows YOU — if you have some employees who can become Known without suffering professional consequences and others who can’t? that has baaaaaaaaad cumulative effects over time.

"death before detransition" might sound radical, dramatic, or even hysterical to some of y'all

when you stop reading "believe women" as "women never lie" and see it as "one of the foundational myths of patriarchy is that women can never be trusted" it makes a lot more sense.

Why this really matters:
Most misinfo research *assumes people care about epistemic motives & interventions are based on this*
Our work highlights the importance of understanding when misinformation is likely to be driven by *feelings* so accuracy interventions are less effective

It meant that we did not have a full-throated defense of immigration as a good thing. We had no discussion about how US policy created some of the refugees who now claim asylum in this country.
