After the sacrament.


Places where the veil is insanely thin: - The Vatican - Venice - New Orleans - Denver - Dubai - the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell on Jamaica avenue - Myrtle-Broadway Dunkin - Chambers St JZ platform

Here’s the entire interaction in one clip. Before she threatens to k*ll me, I asked her a series of questions: 1. At what age is a girl mature enough to have top surgery? 2. How did you feel about your body changing as you were going through puberty? 3. Do you think it’s hatred to tell girls they can be healthy and whole? 4. Do you know any transgender children? 5. Do you have a transgender child? 6. And how did they know they were transgender? 7. At what age did you know you were a c-i-s woman? 8. And why did your child think they were transgender? 9. Does your child go to a public school in California? 10. Did they learn there could be 13 gender identities? 11. How much money does a surgeon make off of giving a girl top surgery? 12. Do you think your transgender child might one day have top surgery and a phalloplasty? 13. Is that something you would allow them to have? This was last Saturday at the @CA_Dem Democratic Party convention in San Francisco.



One thing to note about Jesse Singal’s piece in NYT Opinion this morning, which discusses how major medical groups have misled on gender medicine, is that this story has never been told on the reporting side of the NYT. There has never been a deep-dive investigative report that critically and dispassionately examines: A) What exactly medical groups have said on this topic B) What evidence they cite C) Whether that evidence supports their claims D) How they have handled dissent within their ranks NYT readers likely know that U.S. medical groups are out of sync with European authorities, but that’s pretty much it. Nor has the NYT ever explained the details of this disagreement, especially the reliance on (Europe) or dismissal of (US) systematic reviews of evidence. Given what’s at stake (health of children) and how much trust in medical/scientific authorities matters to readers of the NYT, this is quite extraordinary.





It’s hard to believe now but for most of American history congress was filled with high IQ men who were extremely articulate and took the job seriously








A despondent Irish Catholic priest once told me he would not be shocked if his people returned to worshiping their ancestors’ pagan gods.
