I don't need evidence other than 55 years of life experience to make the following obsevations: Men whose psychological disturbance is so extreme that they - as otherwise physically healthy men - pursue barbaric surgeries such as castration and penile inversion and also the implantation of saline bags in their chests - all so they can attempt to mimic female appearances and who thereby use such self-obsessed behaviors to try to force women to ignore self-preservation instincts that are driven by millions of years of evolutionary pressure...are not to be somehow sainted as "good" womanface skinwalkers, safer than men who "only" play dress up, grow their hair long, and wear makeup. There is every reason to view surgically altered men with equal *if not more alarm* as to just how deep their anger at and resentment of women goes that they went to such extremes, whether they're conscious of their psychological issues or not. Considering the concepts of sunk cost and narcisstic rage as well as male to female strength differential, regardless of whether they're self-harming with exogenous estrogen, no. No these men are not somehow a "safe" exception. Personally I've witnessed more than enough examples of male rage and violence that results from ego injury to know I really don't want such a subset of deeply disturbed men in spaces where girls and women are at their most vulnerable, regardless if he's been trying super duper extra hard to fool and lie to those around him. But that's just me.

@Lady_Hobbit_ @LauraDelano You're so kind, but thankfully the vibrating symptoms I had in psych drug withdrawal ended about 6-7 months after my last dose...which was way back in 1997. Hang in there!

@WABDthehuman @LauraDelano Omg yes!!!! I also got an electric feeling in my hands and toes. It was awful. I'm sorry you're going through this also.

1/ If you’re one of the ~65 million Americans on a psychiatric drug and feel awful every time you try to stop, please know this: That experience isn’t necessarily your “baseline.” It isn’t proof you “need” the drug.

@Lady_Hobbit_ @LauraDelano It's been almost 30 yrs but I'll never forget the intense anxiety/emotional volatility, and various physical hells of psych drug withdrawal. Everything was too bright, too much. Very unpleasant constant "vibrating" sensation. I did a *lot* of impromptu dancing, physical exercise.

@LauraDelano The dizziness I experience when trying to ween off of it..... They're evil for doing this to people. I had hope I wouldn't be depressed. Instead I get anxiety, numbness and dizziness. I hate what they've done. I wish I knew then what I know now.

@LauraDelano Last psych drug was age 27 in '97 (Effexor). Since 17 I'd been on Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil. Shrink said I was a "lifer", hawked an Rx cocktail. Challenge accepted, asshole. Withdrawal was intense bc I impulsively went cold turkey but by '98 I was free. Still feel so lucky, grateful.

Robert is thirty-six years old. In 1247, this is not young. Robert knows this. His knees know this. His back has known this since approximately 1239. Robert lives in a village in Worcestershire with his wife Agnes, three surviving children, and two chickens he is not allowed to eat because the chickens produce eggs and the eggs matter more than the chickens. Today is a Tuesday in March. Robert will describe it as a Tuesday in March. The concept of a 'week' as a unit of leisure is not yet something Robert has access to. 5:00am - Up. Pottage on the fire. The pottage is oats, leeks, and some dried parsnip from the autumn store. There is a small piece of salted pork in it, approximately the size of Robert's thumb. It is mostly flavouring. Robert eats around it for as long as possible, then eats it, then thinks about it for the rest of the morning. 6:00am - Field. Robert works the lord's strip first, then his own. The ground is still cold. His boots have a hole. He has had the hole since October. He has packed it with rags. The rags are wet. They will remain wet until June. Robert is technically eating a plant-based diet. He is not doing this by choice. He is doing this because meat belongs to the lord, the deer belong to the king's forest, and the last man in this village who was caught with an unlicensed rabbit spent a period in the stocks that his family still doesn't fully discuss. 10:00am - Brief rest. Rye bread, hard. A small onion. Robert thinks about the pig that was slaughtered in November. He thinks about this often. The memory of fat is a specific and enduring thing when you don't have much of it. 1:00pm - Back to the field. Robert's average daily calorie intake is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, the majority from grain. He is doing agricultural labour that modern exercise scientists would classify as extremely high intensity. He is, measurably, running on insufficient fuel. He is aware of this in the way that you are aware of things that cannot be changed: completely, and without drama. 4:00pm - Home. Agnes has made more pottage. It is similar to this morning's pottage. Robert eats it. Robert's teeth hurt. They have hurt for two years. There is no dentist. There is a barber-surgeon in the market town seven miles away. Robert cannot afford the barber-surgeon and cannot take the day from the fields. His teeth continue to hurt. 7:00pm - Sleep. Robert will be awake again at five. He is thirty-six. He will probably not see forty. The leading cause of death for men in his position is a combination of infection, injury, and the slow arithmetic of malnutrition across a lifetime. Somewhere, eight hundred years from now, someone will describe Robert's diet as "ancestral," "plant-forward," and "aligned with the earth." Robert would have a great deal to say about this. Robert does not have the energy.

@dog_rates omg, and the second (rescue assistant?) who was dressed like his/her human?

This is Molly. She was finally found a week after her human fell down a 180-foot waterfall while hiking together in New Zealand. Her human was badly injured and rescued by helicopter, but Molly was missing. A week later, Molly was found at the base of the waterfall and reunited with her human. 14/10

@crypto_vampire @dog_rates His name is Bingo ✨

@ashafelt @crypto_vampire @dog_rates Bingo's all like yo Molly these humans are totes cool...come hang with us there's food and warm and naps... damn now I'm crying again

@larissaphillip Aww, poor girl. One of my dogs definitely grieved the loss of her lifelong companion. She didn't exhibit the same behavior as Miley but often got up to search for him, seeming confused/unsettled. Extra beach walks (her fav) and time helped. Vet visit prob wise to rule out medical

Miley, the black dog, lost her best friend Arlo a month ago. Then last week she lost her other canine friend Blue. She’s the only dog left. She’s always been kind of an anxious and shy dog and relied on Arlo for confidence. Last night she had an anxiety attack around 4 am that lasted over an hour. Running up and down the stairs, panting hard, pawing at the walls and the bed, totally unable to settle. I finally put a snug dog sweater on her (Temple Grandin compression theory to fight anxiety), made her do a bunch of stupid tricks (to break her focus), and slept on the couch with her. She is sound asleep now (9am). What is this? Is this about losing her dog friends? Has anyone dealt with this kind of thing?

@DisabledEsq He's a cheating bstrd. Scouted to cheat in women's sports because he has a micropenis and internalised testes. There's NO WAY he and his family didn't know he was male from toddler age. You don't pee via an 'enlarged clitoris'. This is him, pics from his autobiography👇

@NadirIndar @FondOfBeetles @runthinkwrite @annikusrex Begin with education in relevant regions reg genetic risks of consanguinity, better DSD diagnosis in neonates, "no wrong way" messages reg one's sex & personality traits, interests, dislikes, sexual orientation, talents, personal grooming. Inherent cultural/structural challenges.

@FondOfBeetles @runthinkwrite @annikusrex "Are there structural and cultural reasons why athletes from the Global South *appear* to be over-repped? Yes, let’s try and fix that." How?

The idea that there is a special mode of being biologically female, that includes XY chromosomes, testicles, and sperm, and is only found in people in sub-Saharan Africa, is straightforwardly racist.

@TTExulansic @grok Give her a decade or four. Any attention/sympathy gained via this medically enabled drug abuse will be sucked into a vortex of iatrogenic hell she cannot now even begin to comprehend. But hey, she and those like her are making some people rich so there's that I guess.

.@grok can you explain indications, side effects, and possible interactions of the following drug list prescribed to a gender confused young woman: Pristiq, buspar, nicotine, testosterone, dayvigo and doxepin

@bourne_beth2345 @UCDavisMed @ucdavis @donoharm Shoulder to hip ratio. Hand size (soda can looks tiny). Head movements. The constant but subtle shrugging. Talking points like reading off a generic script. This is an act, just not the one initially thought.

💔💔Heartbreaking On Saturday, I spoke to this trans-identified woman at the farmers market about @UCDavisMed med school students prescribing wrong-sex hormones at the university’s gender clinic. She told me she is a survivor of trauma, s*xual assault, and mental health struggles but says she feels much safer now that she "passes” as a man. She tells me the surgeons removed her breasts and uterus — but that’s okay as she doesn't believe she would make a good mom. This medical atrocity cannot end soon enough.

@bourne_beth2345 @UCDavisMed @ucdavis @donoharm Does anybody else think they see a late teens or early 20s male larping as a "trans man" here, or is it just me? Height, build, shoulders, especially the voice and mannerisms. Something's off. Reminds me of my best friend's 20 yo son who enjoys messing with people's heads.

@brookelynn74 @jk_rowling @sharrond62 Watch out! Angela's a punk rock GenXer and went to Breakfast Club High School. Extremely tough and legendary in own mind. We do not wanna mess with her!

@jk_rowling @sharrond62 They are not men you mewling quim!

To all media… we are watching you closely. Misinformation, deliberate gaslighting, and ambiguous language is not excusable, you have been told relentlessly and very clearly by the IOC; the policy applies to males not being allowed in the female category, for integrity, safety, fairness and equality of opportunity of females in their category. It’s that’s simple. Feelings and personal identities have no place in sport, just biological reality.

@salltweets @STILLTish Micro penis explains a lot.

@STILLTish Caster cashed in rubbing women's faces in his grift while the gherkin between his legs fueled a particularly virulent misogyny. He wouldn't make the cut competing against other men. This performance reeks of humilated narc rage and desperation. The jig is up, jerkoff.

Double Olympic champion Caster Semenya shapes up for new battle with the IOC | World News | Sky News What a selfish prick. Prepared to destroy female sport because he does not qualify. news.sky.com/story/if-women…

@brookelynn74 @JohnBradfo40995 @SVPhillimore Oh god, not this thoroughly debunked, ridiculous article. The author admitted that there is no third sex. Sex is not a spectrum: It is binary. There are no human hermaphrodites. Lady, you've been lied to. You're selling religious ideas that are akin to Jesus riding a dinosaur.
