like what, do they expect people to be afraid of that? what's the next step, is Siresly gonna punch twitter remainers to put the fear of violence in the rest of them?
Admittedly i am not overly familiar with gender-specific wards in hospitals, outside of maternity wards and similar (ovarian/breast cancer etc?) for obvs reasons. I suppose they take gender into account when putting patients together in a room in general (do they?)Someone mentioned dementia wards also. What other reason, then reinforcing a mentally ill individuals delusions, would this matter for non-psychiatric hospital admission? If a transwoman has a heart attack, I'd hope being put in a room with a bio-woman was not at the top of the list of concerns, particularly if bio-women would generally prefer not to be placed with mentally ill bio-men

Seems a lot of users are complain about the changes, it sounds like the platform is good enough to be tolerated by them, but is hardly "the same". Mock RE obsession with Musk and disappointing about twitter surviving, but lets not pretend the site is not worse since he took over.
Also, it seems my account is still active , I just don't like to use it (way before Musk took over), specially when you could navigate the site without one.
As someone that browses twitter pretty much daily, [b]the general consensus by users unafflicted by severe EDS [/b{is that while there's still a lot of problems, particularly in regards to shadowbanning and similar, it's been a far better platform under Elon. The fact that it's persisting existence under Elon gets a subset of people into frequent retard-rages is pretty much icing on the cake.

Explain that, because Google just tells me eating disorders and skin afflictions.
Also, remember Twitter social bubbles.
 - Community notes is probably the highlight, and has been mostly positive in calling out misinformation or incorrect statements.
- There's still been some problems with shadowbanning and account suspension for dubious reasons, though for the most part that's been better than it was under the previous regime.
- Engagement farming due to the added monetization is a legit problem that needs addressing, no getting around that. It's made shitposting more profitable, and as a side-effect shitposting has certainly become more prevalent.
- The addition of longform video has been cool, youtube needs more rivals.
Maybe "far better" is a stretch, but generally better I think is reasonable to say.

basic facts is, most people in hospital are just elderly and at that time of life where they are constantly in and out of hospital for various reasons and they are that way until they are done
X is much more exciting than Twitter ever was.
You never know what sort of crazy shit happens next and if it does it's no longer censored.

also, isn't it inherent to trans-ness that they want to be noticed? the reason you transition is so that others can recognize you as a woman, you desire to be seen and treated as your preferred gender, it fills you with euphoria and inflates your feminine prostate, you don't want to be totally ignored or live a neet life indoors
if you really wanted to live in peace quietly you'd recognize that to transition is inherently a public statement, and you'd never socially transition and just feel/act like a woman in private

No, a prostate person can only have breast cancer if their DNA has been altered by the Chaos Emeralds.

Yeah, it's definitely a case of the loud majority ruining it for the the tiny minority who have previously been quietly living their lives.
It's why I see more people now referring to themselves as transsexual to distinguish themselves from those who would previously have been called transvestites.
The former are those who believe they are born in the wrong body and are typically(exclusively?) gay, whereas the latter are typically(exclusively?) straight people with a fetish for dressing up as and acting as the opposite sex. The former don't deny biological reality like the anti-science latter.
This is why the biggest fear trans women used to have was finding a partner who could accept them for who they are, and being upfront with a potential partner was such an agonizing decision due to being afraid of encountering someone with the bigoted view that a trans woman was just a gay man trying to trick a straight man into gay sex.
Now that everyone has been grouped together under the transgender label, the fetishist trans women's biggest complaints are about not being able to force themselves into women only spaces, and that lesbians won't suck their girl cocks.
Transsexual women are afraid of men who refuse to accept them as they are, biological women are afraid of transvestites demanding access to their exclusive spaces. The problem is always insecure and/or predatory men.
Quote:isn't it inherent to trans-ness that they want to be noticed?
I don't think so, rather it's that they want to be seen as what they identify as. It's why I was completely on board with "trans women are women". You are a "trans woman" because you are biologically a male, but you live as a woman and want to be treated as and seen as simply a "woman" rather than always having your "trans-ness" being brought up.
Of course the arsehole fetishists had to come along and ruin everything by insisting that they are completely indistinguishable from so-called biological women, while also retaining the special status (and power) of being an oppressed minority.

Kyuuji isn't completely stupid, so she kind of leaves it at half truths
Like there is an increased risk of breast cancer if your body is full of estrogen, but no, the tissue itself is the same.
Quote:Gender. Simply being a woman is the main risk factor for developing breast cancer. Although women have many more breast cells than men, the main reason they develop breast cancer more often is because their breast cells are constantly exposed to the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, which promote cell growth. Men can develop breast cancer, but this disease is about 100 times more common among women than men
https://www.foxchase.org/cancer-care-services/prevention-screening/risk-assessment/inherited-cancer/breast-cancer-inherited
There also seems to be some truth to the DNA altering, however what she leaves out is that it only affects a very small part and in no way means "that her bloodwork is female"
Quote:We provide novel evidence for GAHT inducing a unique blood methylation signature in transgender people, importantly with a shift towards the methylation profile of the opposite sex. We demonstrate that a small subset of regions previously shown to exhibit robust sex-associated methylation are altered by GAHT, but that most sex-specific methylation remains stable during GAHT. This study advances our understanding of the complex interplay between sex hormones, sex chromosomes, and DNA methylation in the context of immunity. We highlight the need to broaden the field of ‘sex-specific’ immunity beyond cis-males and cis-females, as transgender people on GAHT exhibit a unique molecular profile that warrants further understanding.

I'd even say that the conclusion from this is that transgender people would actually need care that's specifically for transgender people, not just women.
