@SashaLPC You nailed it. My concerns with "trans" are the risky and irreversible medical procedures, as well as the inconveniences for women (spaces, sports, etc.). However, blanket opposition to transitioning and trans identities will rebuff many people and leave them on the curbside.

@BriannaWu Wait a minute. There is no proof being ousted from that club led to suicide. And even if it was related, she needed psychological help; female athletes do not have to compete against biological men "just in case they kill themselves", which would be blackmail.

This cruel political project to endlessly dehumanize trans women and erase our ability to participate in society damages all of us. And it cost this beautiful young woman her life. Political mobs targeting minorities are nothing new. This one targeting us is particularly damaging because we have almost no mechanisms to defend ourselves.

@LeorSapir That’s what I love from reporters like Ryan: they are able to doubt, probe, then bow to the conclusions when firm data are there.

Update on the debate over whether trans ID has fallen among youth

@E_Duhaime L’« intelligence artificielle », la patente à Elon Musk de surcroît? C’est pitoyablement désespéré.

La vraie souveraineté, c’est arrêter de dépendre financièrement du reste du Canada. Être souverain, ça commence quand on vit selon nos moyens, sans dépenser l’argent des autres. Le plan conservateur de souveraineté réelle du Québec, à l’intérieur de la confédération canadienne: 1)Baisser les taxes et les impôts, des travailleurs comme des entrepreneurs. 2)Exploiter notre gaz naturel pour s’enrichir. 3)Réduire la taille de l’état, le nombre de fonctionnaires et le dépenses publiques pour équilibrer le budget. 4)Éliminer les subventions aux entreprises. 5)Empêcher le fédéral d’envahir nos champs de compétence. Tenir un 3e référendum perdant comme le promet le PQ, ça fera au contraire reculer le Québec politiquement et économiquement. Même l’intelligence artificielle en arrive aux mêmes conclusions que nous:

@chesscom Magnus is the greatest, but Capablanca is my favorite for his battery.

@LongpreTania Vous seriez surprise du nombre de pays qui vendent littéralement leur citoyenneté, sans compter ceux qui vendent leur passeport et la résidence permanente.

Une citoyenneté, ce n’est pas à vendre… N’est-ce pas? #polqc #polcan journaldemontreal.com/2025/10/08/com…

La semaine dernière, j’ai été invitée au Collège Laflèche pour échanger avec les étudiants (et les profs) sur ma vision du vivre-ensemble. J’y ai réaffirmé un principe simple, mais fondamental : tous les Québécois sont égaux en droits, quelle que soit leur couleur de peau. J’ai aussi parlé de valeurs communes, de cohésion sociale et de liberté de penser, ces fondations qu’on oublie trop souvent dans un climat où certains voudraient expliquer les inégalités par le seul prisme du « racisme systémique ». Mon objectif n’est jamais de plaire, mais de faire réfléchir. Parce qu’une société où l’on pense tous pareil, c’est une société sous influence. Les idées mènent le monde, dit-on. Encore faut-il oser les confronter. 😉

One of my favorite case studies in the biology of sex is 47:XXY (SRY Negative), a combination of two genetic disorders into one that then cancel each other out, creating a fertile XXY female. 47:XXY is the most common sex chromosome disorder, causing Klinefelter Syndrome in the male embryos it affects. However, a much rarer form of 47:XXY exists, where a person is conceived without the essential chromosome material on the short arm of the Y chromosome, known as the p arm. The p arm holds the SRY gene, the switch for male development that encodes testes. Without this male-making material, the precarious genetic balance of the undifferentiated gonad begins to tilt towards the female genetic network. Now the WNT4, FOXL2, and RSPO1 network upregulates and suppresses the male system, resulting in the initial development of ovaries. In embryos with XY who are also missing SRY, this is where ovarian development stops. The young ovarian tissue degenerates and forms fibrous tissue called streak gonads, resulting in sterility. Something remarkable happens, however, in the XXY SRY negative (SRY-) embryo. Unlike XY embryos who only have one X chromosome, XXY has two. Essential genes for ovarian maintenance can now express themselves in double copy, providing proteins for development of the follicles and the Granulosa cells that support them. This in turn maintains the health of the ovaries and stops them from degenerating. From here, sex development continues to proceed as normal. For an in-depth analysis of 25 DSDs and many case studies, we are soon releasing a first of its kind visual handbook on human sex development and DSDs, featuring beautiful development diagrams and accessible commentary. 🔗 Sign up at the link for exclusive updates and a sample at release! sexdevelopmenthandbook.com

In 2021, WPATH explicitly recommended using the ICD code for "Endocrine Disorder-NOS [Not Otherwise Specified]" when dealing with insurance. Neither trans identity nor gender dysphoria are endocrine disorders. (Source: HHS Review, Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria)

@MattWalshBlog Chill. Priests bless horses, cars, weapons, computer servers and even pets.

Horrific. The whole thing. Pope Leo blesses a block of ice and then stands there while these communist freaks do some kind of weird pagan Earth worshipping hippy ritual. The leader of the Catholic Church shouldn’t be anywhere near this nonsense. What the hell are we doing here

Of course, pregnant women usually know they should only take medication cautiously, after balancing pros and cons. Like the dangers of a fever for a fetus vs the virtually nonexistent danger of acetaminophen taken at a normal dose.

All the gaslighters reposting this image forget to tell you that all pharmas do not recommend any of their products to pregnant women (unless it’s made specifically for them) only to avoid being sued, not because they’re actually harmful. #tylenolautism

@Martina I heard MAGA people on TikTok asking Trump to call for a civil war… but I hear no call for a civil war from this specific clip. What have you heard that I haven’t?

Vance wants CIVIL WAR!!!

@wil_da_beast630 Depends on the prenup. I hope for her both of you signed one.

2nd Sex and Relationships Question from my DMs: If I make $640K per year, and my partner is a stay-at-home wife - who technically earns $0 annually, but who can access all my/our money, and makes 70% of our purchasing decisions - what do you see her practical income as being?

On September 19 I filed an amicus brief with the United States Supreme Court in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox.

@sophiedurocher Ça fait déjà quelques années que cette tendance s’exprime.

Intéressant : LGB se séparent de TQ

Soon #CandaceOwens will claim it was all orchestrated by the Queen of the Global Jewish Trans Reptilian Order, a.k.a. Brigitte Macron. Enough with lunacy, whether from the left or the right.

#FCC #Chairman should have shut his mouth and let Sinclair and Nexstar pull the plug on #Kimmel on their own, whether it was for his poor rates or his recent comment. Now it’s impossible not to see gov coercion in this cancellation.

To anyone peddling the "trans terrorism" bogus claim: here is a way more cool-headed take on the issue by a science journalist that, btw, is hated by transactivists for his remarkable work dismantling the shoddy science behind youth gender medicine. unherd.com/2025/09/the-sc…

@DreyfusJames May I suggest a more cool-headed take on the matter? unherd.com/2025/09/the-sc…

Please Mr. Walsh. This is TQ+ terrorism. Many of us have been warning of this for YEARS. The majority of LGB people have been begging not to be lumped in with these fanatics. We saw the writing on the wall a long time ago. Please do not lump us all together.
