Instagram rant. I may lose friends. #IStandWithRoisinMurphy

One of the weirdest parts about the whole thing was watching all the middle aged, mid career, middling scholar men who decided overnight to throw whatever social power they had into enforcing with utter and profane ruthlessness a view they just heard about the day before.

@hippyygoat Just in case anyone wants to know who she is and maybe you know her boss.

Is Tristan Tate gay?

🚨 Shocking video in which an Arabic man says he wants to Kill Jewish Americans and especially Jewish school children. Potentially going to try and target areas in Brooklyn. He gives his location as Harlem, New York. Make him famous and make sure he is arrested.

So called “gender affirming care” is the biggest medical scandal of our time.

@brookelynn74 @bonniexplore Jfc what backbreaking obsequiousness.

@bonniexplore You are beautiful!

Restricting replies - because why cant a trans woman just post a picture of them happy and excited for a night out without slurs and abuse from these shithouse trolls ? So guess how much grief I got whilst out in Leeds ? None, nada, didely squat, f'all. This is the real world 🖕

one of the most insane things is that Reid Miles, Blue Note’s graphic designer and creator of basically a whole visual vocabulary for music, didn’t like jazz and never listened to any of the records he worked on. just asked what the vibe was, flew blind and nailed it every time.

„Gender-affirming care“: all questions answered. It is simply no care at all; it is harm. After following up all (!) Finnish patients under 23 years referred for “gender”, the authors of this paper found that “in adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender re-assignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender re-assignment. After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls.” This is a cohort of over 2,000 patients followed for up to 25 years. The 100% ascertainment of the fate of all Finnish “gender” patients <23 sets this report worlds apart from all other reports in the field: almost all other reports suffer from extreme rates of drop-outs making them methodically completely worthless medical fairy tales. Of further note, on social contagion, the authors report that “those referred after 2010 had greater psychiatric needs than earlier cohorts, both before (47.9% vs. 15.3%) and ≥ 2 years after (61.3% vs. 14.2%) referral.” My psychiatry teacher at medical school always claimed that patients with psychiatric disorders very often seek self-treatment, frequently leaning towards trendy and accessible options. This was back in the 1980s, and he was primarily referring to marijuana. He died in 2010 but would surely have recognised this very phenomenon in “gender-affirming care”.

As I saw in the pediatric gender center- a significant number of my patients did not improve at all- their physical health declined and their mental health tanked.

Il y a une phrase que j'adore : "Je suis communiste avec ma famille, socialiste avec mes amis, libéral avec mon pays, et capitaliste avec le reste du monde." Cette phrase est brillante parce qu'elle résume l'erreur numéro un que font les gens quand ils réfléchissent aux systèmes économiques : appliquer ce qui marche à petite échelle à grande échelle sans comprendre que la complexité des systèmes change tout. Le communisme avec ta famille ça marche. Tu partages tout, tu ne comptes pas, chacun donne selon ses capacités et reçoit selon ses besoins. Et ça fonctionne. Parce que tu es 4 ou 5 personnes, que tu connais tout le monde intimement, que la confiance est totale, que la tricherie est impossible à cacher, et que l'amour remplace les incitations économiques. Le socialisme avec tes amis ça marche aussi. Un groupe de 20-30 personnes. Tu partages les restos, tu aides un pote à déménager, tu files un coup de main sans compter. La réciprocité est naturelle parce que tu connais chaque personne et que ta réputation est en jeu. Mais dès que tu passes à l'échelle d'un pays, 68 millions de personnes, tout s'effondre. Pourquoi ? Parce que la complexité des systèmes est non linéaire. S'organiser à 5 c'est trivial. S'organiser à 50 c'est difficile. S'organiser à 50 millions c'est un problème d'une complexité fondamentalement différente. C'est pas juste "plus dur". C'est qualitativement un autre problème. À grande échelle, tu ne connais plus les gens. La confiance disparaît. La tricherie devient invisible. Les passagers clandestins prolifèrent. L'information nécessaire pour coordonner 68 millions de personnes dépasse la capacité de n'importe quel planificateur central. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises (1920) et de l'information dispersée de Hayek (1945). Un cerveau central ne peut pas traiter l'information que des millions de prix de marché transmettent en temps réel. C'est exactement pour ça que le communisme produit des familles heureuses et des pays morts. Le modèle ne scale pas. Pas parce que les gens sont méchants. Parce que la complexité des systèmes rend la coordination centralisée impossible au-delà d'un certain seuil. Et c'est l'erreur de jugement fondamentale que font la plupart des gens qui adhèrent aux thèses marxistes. Ils prennent leur expérience du partage en famille ou entre amis, un modèle qui marche à 5-20 personnes, et ils l'extrapolent à 68 millions de personnes en ignorant complètement l'émergence de la complexité. "Si ça marche chez moi, ça devrait marcher pour le pays." Non. La physique des systèmes complexes dit exactement le contraire. Le marché libre c'est le seul système qui scale. Parce qu'il ne dépend pas de la confiance personnelle, ni de la bonne volonté, ni d'un planificateur omniscient. Il dépend de prix qui transmettent l'information, d'incitations qui alignent les comportements, et de la concurrence qui corrige les erreurs. C'est un système conçu pour fonctionner avec des inconnus, à n'importe quelle échelle. Sois communiste avec ta famille. Socialiste avec tes amis. Et libéral avec tout le reste. Parce que la taille du système détermine le modèle qui fonctionne. Pas tes bonnes intentions.

Pure snobbery.
