whatever there is of libertarian tendencies in me can see that a rule like that could cause issues at the fringes if enforced strictly, but it's seems likely that bluesky as a site would lean permissive toward edge cases anyway, and on the whole the rule would prevent some amount of nastiness and best of all upset some of the worst people there

Maybe, but the retardEra will come at it from a dehumanizing angle rather than a scientific angle.

Example:

This is going to get a lot of kids hurt or killed, I despise the language here, my Autism is not a disease! I'm not a freak who needs their symptoms decreased.

We don't need "progress" or "advancement" to "cure" Autism, we don't need to figure out to make sure we stop existing, we need to be accepted, we need to be treated as normal, as people. The fact that more people have been diagnosed isn't because we're on the rise, it's because of better understanding of what Autism and what neurodivergence is.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-to-announce-the-“amazing”-cause-and-treatment-of-autism-in-press-conference-cause-is-tylenol-treatment-is-folinic-acid-used-in-chemotherapy.1304178/#post-145479123

Cyborg is the perfect example of why autism needs a cure or treatment available

[Besticus Maximus]

This is why the trans lysenko bollocks is so dangerous, nobody takes the opposition voice seriously because they think it's a good thing to give kids bowel surgery and chop their dicks off

[kaleidoscopium]

And of course peddling the idea that Autism is something that needs to be cured, that shouldn't exist, as a curse, that people like me should never have existed. That we need to be "fixed" and treated like abnormal.

You are abnormal and you do need to be fixed, your post history should make that case very clearly.

This is so fucking infuriating. This age of self-diagnosis is how we got ‘neuro-spicy’ and all sorts of people trying to tack on real and existing conditions to their lack of initiative, anxieties, and fetishes.

As someone with a very real family member with very real autism, YES it is something that needs to be cured so that his mind is not trapped as a six year old. How about nonverbal autistics or those who are violent (many of them) when they are overwhelmed? We should allow them to suffer and castrate their future just so you can feel validated and have a fake crusade to fight?

[Daffy Duck]

We're already seeing in the UK Autistic Trans kids and people having their identities denied and treated like imagery (hi Autistic Woman here, anyone who does this can fuck off!)

Well…I mean…

[DavidCroquet]

Sorry, I'm new here.

Having your "identity denied" sounds really bad. What does it look like to have your "identity denied"? Feel free to just list a few--even one or two!--negative personal impacts.

Of course bluesky would eventually cancel itself. It makes perfect sense

Allies, time to arm up:

You don't need porn to discuss and educate adult topics

Exhibit infinity that trans women are literally just dudes.

This guy's handle is "boobs are feminist and progressive". The argument they are pushing makes them sound like those 90s movie dads who would rent a hooker for their 17-year-old son or whatever..."ya gotta learn sometime son!"

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

less careposty:

"allowing some to be censored and chased out is keeping the door open for all to be censored and chased out"

Also 

"letting the door be closed on some people will open the door to close door the close people be open on the close!"

[Uncle]

Exhibit infinity that trans women are literally just dudes.

I know no group is a monolith and you see all sorts of people with all sorts of opinions, men who hate porn, women who love porn, men who are shrinking wimps and women who are aggressive and violent

but...overall isn't this something that most people just have an innate sense about? all the trans people online acting suspiciously stereotypically un-feminine? even when they try to act feminine it's like "tee hee I love being a girl" which aren't things women say

the kind of thing that isn't commonly voiced but basically everyone has to have nagging at them subconsciously, right?

And you found your post in it to bring it up, but okay dude.

It was literally on the first page of that thread, the 29th post. I clicked the thread, swiped down a few times and saw my bright purple highlight of a post. You're digging and ban-baiting for something that's just not there. 

You posting this like a gotcha when all you did is point out the study limitations, and it still doesn't justify any bans or reinvestigating trans women for "biologal factors" and "unfair athletic advantages" as Kamala is alluding to here by listening to transphobes.

It also doesn't justify not banning for those factors. One of the most common studies cited is the one about marathon runners, how there wasn't any advantages in that use case. People have cited that study so many times and then you click it and actually read it and see they're only talking about long-distance running and it's like what are we doing here? Sports are all over the place. 

You're not wrong that studies are often limited and uncommon, but that's true for trans athletes as a whole.

And that's the core of the issue — there aren't enough studies done on this to make blanket statements. You said in that thread there's advantages and disadvantages, which I'm gonna assume you were tryin to say it varies by sport, which is literally the most reasonable take ever. There's so many sports out there that each require specific physical traits that it's impossible to just make blanket statements on this.

Without competitive trans athletes – remember we were allowed to compete in the Olympics for 20 years, and in that time only one trans woman qualified, in weightlifting, and failed the initial se

which is why you have never seen a single trans woman medalist on the Olympics (or even qualifying for the Olympics) in the over two decades they were allowed to compete.

I seen this said a lot, how there's never been a trans Olympic medalist so what's the problem? You got a point. But you also have to understand that the % of the population that are Olympic level athletes are like… .0001% (or whatever; it's extremely small), and then you take 2 or 3% of that .0001% of potential Olympic athletes who might be trans — the odds of a trans woman medal'ing in our lifetime is incredibly slim. So yeah you're right, folks shouldn't be bitching about that, but that's not the point.

If a top NBA players transitions and becomes a player in the WNBA, she'd break every record there is.

[quote=Embiid ]This reply isn't really directed towards you, Alavard. Here's my filthy institutional liberal take on this — I'm a minority but I'm not part of the LGBTQ community. However, I feel like that doesn't mean dropping a line on these issues makes my take invalid. I've never disregarded the opinion of all the white dudes here that speak up for black folks while on their MacBooks sipping on their double espresso lattes at Starbucks. If you make a good point, you make a good point.

CHANGE is incremental. It's not overnight, it's not straight to 100 mph, it's a step-by-step process over an extended period of time. The fact that an openly trans member of congress exists in this climate is wild. She's not perfect, she doesn't align with every talking point on Erin Reed's substack or whatever, but she exists. With all of the insane issues we have going on right now, seeing a thread trying to specifically bury Sarah McBride of all people for not voting against this Kirk holiday thing is completely missing the point. After everything that's happened over the past year, how have we not learned that this isn't the way? It's not how politics works, it's not how LIFE works.

Wait, Embiid isn't LBGTQ and he's a straight cis?  NepNep, now is your chance to strike that cis man down with a permanent ban!

Edited: I fucked up on the quotes 

[Ethan]

Soy lib yogourt escapes the purge despite extremely transphobic talking points

With kids who cares, let kids play where they want to play with who they want to play with.

In a semipro or pro context my understanding is that HRT removes whatever advantage one may have had. Nobody is going to undergo HRT just as some ploy to play in women's sports, that's always been such an absurd boogeyman.

So just let trans people play where they want with sports-dependent guidelines on how the initial transition period is navigated. Isn't that how it worked before the trans panic?

Saying we should get rid of all gender divides in all sports is nuts, though. There are sports that can be fully integrated (archery), there are sports that need to be split for safety or opportunity reasons (boxing, sprinting), and there are sports that are split for historical or social (including men being shitty) (chess). There isn't one solution for every sport - they're all really different.

I'm sorry but what!!! No compromise!



A much better post

Who the fuck cares about kid's sports, get over it, your kid just sucks.

It's so strange to me because it isn't an expectation or factor here in the US. You get specialist units like maternity wards of course, but other than that there's no gender based segregation in hospitals, nor does there seem to be any call for it... and everyone seems cool with it, even now with all this trans panic.

Hmmmm I wonder what gender makes up most inhabitants on this ward…

Not every role in a revolution needs to be front line, armed conflict. Cooking meals for others, providing shelter for targeted communities, using your skills to fix things for others, pitching in with child care, creating art that uplifts and supports, all that is valid and criticality necessary.

However if you're fortunate enough to find yourself in proximity to these nazis projecting power. Fucking do something about it. If y'all think fucking lawfare or some milquetoast dem is going to save us in the United States, you're out of your fucking mind.
