software is cool because it's simultaneously information and machine and you can make something from basically nothing by just thinking a lot and then typing a little. magician's profession

No. It's trivial to find one person who's been harmed by any policy. You can find one person who's been harmed by chemotherapy, or going to the gym. But the problem is - you haven't even done the trivial thing! There's nothing here saying Avery regrets taking puberty blockers! Don't you think if she'd said so, this account would be making it front and center of their story? But it's not here, and I've done an Internet search and it's not in any other story about Avery either. The last thing I can find about them is that they went to a Trans Pride event at the White House, which doesn't really seem like the actions of someone who's regretting their association with the transgender movement. The only argument here is that they've gone from being transfemale to nonbinary. But nonbinary is also a form of transgender, and also one where people frequently want to take puberty blockers. It's so trivial to find one anecdote to prove your point that I would expect you to be able to be showing me a story about someone on puberty blockers who fully detransitioned, and is now back to their natal sex and regrets ever having tried the drugs. But if there is one of those, Avery isn't it. You're also presenting this as evidence that the effects of puberty blockers are "irreversible" even after they've been stopped - but as far as I know, there's no evidence that Avery ever stopped their puberty blockers. It's not mentioned in the description of the article above, and it's not mentioned in any of the other articles about Avery I could find online. Are you really too lazy to do the extremely trivial work of finding one anecdote about a person who was unhappy to be on puberty blockers, and then stopped, and then noticed even one side effect that didn't reverse? You only mention that Avery is asexual. Without knowing whether she stopped the blockers or not, we have no way of knowing whether stopping them would restore her sex drive or not. But also, 1-4% of people identify as asexual these days, and since all sexual anomalies cluster, it's probably much higher among trans people - I would guess 5-10% even before puberty blockers enter the picture. So the article's claim that it's "indisputable" that the blockers caused the asexuality is ridiculous. Please do your homework and find me ten people who started puberty blockers, detransitioned, and then complained of some irreversible side effect that continued afterwards (besides bone loss, the one that studies have confirmed exists). It won't really change my mind, because I think there are hundreds to thousands who are happy with their choice to use them, and 100s-1000s is greater than ten. But if you found me ten, I would at least feel like you were making a genuine whole-hearted effort to play the "my anecdote beats your data" game. I think even beyond that, the best thing that you (or your source, or anyone in your movement) could do is not sound so gleeful every time you find a (fake, made-up) story of a child being irreversibly harmed. I have never once, in talking to a bunch of gender-critical people with opinions on the side effects of puberty blockers, heard them say "Alas, I wish these children could have lived the lives they wanted, but it seems like the current drugs have too many side effects. We should try to find some better protocol for the drugs that avoid these - or, if we can't, I hope we one day discover a side effect-free drug that will make it possible to help them." If someone were to say that, I'd trust them, because it sounds like they're coming from the same place I am (actual concern about people, wanting the best for them, wanting them to be able to live the way they want). I think people keep falling for these stories about fake side effects because they want to have an excuse to deny these kids the right to change their bodies - not because they start with the idea that it's dangerous to use these drugs and then sadly determine that the dangers are so great that we must take people's rights away to prevent harm.

Esses gajos do Gira nao sabem fazer apps

Após longos meses, temos um novo update da Gira ! Vês uma bicicleta na estação, mas não aparece na app? Tenta desbloquear na mesma com a nova versão! gira-mais.app/ios gira-mais.app/android

looking into membership at the local ceramics studio and they have this on their page. I just don't understand how anyone looks around at the modern world and thinks "yep, hellscape's the first word that comes to mind." you guys are doing pottery for fun. you have so much free time that you're spending afternoons just making little pots for decoration. life is so easy that you could actually buy a totally functional pot for like 1/10th the cost of making it yourself, and someone would deliver it to your doorstep tomorrow. if you think this is hell I invite you to learn a little more about life in other parts of the world and other moments in history.

My ancestors buried half their children. All mine are alive. My ancestors' house had a dirt floor. Mine is wood. I have indoor plumbing, I have hot water, I have never in my life hauled a full bucket half a mile and I probably never will. Do you know how rare it is, in human history, for small children to wear shoes? Mine have multiple pairs. I can speak to my relatives who live thousands of miles away, for free, at any time. Video, if we want video. With machine translation, if we speak different languages. The original Library of Congress had 740 books in it. I have more than that. If I run out of books in my home my local public library has 350,000. If I want to take a hundred books with me on vacation, they all fit on a device that fits in my purse. I have heat in the winter and AC in the summer and a washing machine and I have never, ever, ever had to scrub a dress clean by hand in the stream. I can look up recipes from more than a hundred different countries and I've tried dozens of them. I ride a clean and modern train across my city for $4, or take a robot taxi if I'm out too late for the train. I donate $40,000 every year to the cause of getting healthcare to the world's poorest people and even after the donations I never have to think about whether I can afford a book, or a pair of shoes, or a cup of coffee. There is a great deal more to fight for, of course. I hope that our descendants will look back on our lives and list a thousand ways they're richer. Maybe we ourselves will do that, if some of the crazier stuff comes true. But the abundance is all around you and to a significant degree you aren't feeling it only because fish don't notice water.

good essay this morning on hacker news (I didn't read it, and neither do you need to read it. You can guess what it says, and then enjoy thinking about it. Afterwards, see what others are thinking about in the comments)

Wow. Just made my first AI video game with Google’s Genie 3 The prompt: “French woman has to climb through a word that defies logic, flying objects everywhere” Is it the end of the gaming industry?
