Surprise, surprise, new research from The Mayo Clinic raises serious doubt over “reversibility” of puberty blockers in adolescent boys. Concerning tissue changes to teenage testes, including pre-cancerous changes.

the "cotton ceiling" btw means lesbians' panties; it means consent

OuroborosTheory · 2024-04-19T20:55:06+00:00

well it does literally pun for "anticlimax"

the Obama rules also gave us clownshows like Mattress Girl and "Jackie" where the unis just arrogated serious crimes to a faceless court of admins that usually let the offender go if he was a professor, much more often than it turned into a radfem penis hunt

it should've been a lesson about giving faculties based on the professors' personal issues extralegal powers over felonies, but instead they were just replaced with a DIFFERENT set of nutcases

it's also not something that lends itself to vote-bidding partisanship or can be spun into another culture war--my Alex Jones-loving cousin rants about Blackrock and the damn RED CHINESE buying all the housing stock, but is stumped by the question of what she wants done about it besides talk over us for 30 minutes when we're at Grandma's

interesting how something's been rendered unthinkable when Barry Goldwater wouldn't have really complained about such a policy

OuroborosTheory · 2024-04-25T06:47:49+00:00

they're masters of having their cake and eating it too: 1. you need dysphoria to claim you'll LITERALLY KILL yourself if you can't walk erect into the women's shower, BUT 2. the anime Ben Franklin cosplayers need to not have surgery or act anything like normal females (that's "truscum," "normative," "assimilatonist," or whatever buzzword)

tbf it's not that different from the radfems' "disadvantages to wombxn are patriarchy! and advantages to wombxn are patriarchy because they're patronizing! and any problems penismonsters have is patriarchy because they made The System responsible for everything! AND we should legally ban any problems penismonsters have from being addressed because the world already caters to sick, homeless, depressed, and so-called 'abused' penismonsters!"

honestly exhausting critics by making them scurry after constant contradiction and hypocrisy is tactical, and these "studies" and "theories" are just self-centered double-standards skiving (at least in their eventual watered-down "Tumblr" forms, I've had some interesting lectures)

OuroborosTheory · 2024-04-23T22:40:53+00:00

and it sounds like they're really shortchanging good writers--"we've conceded this class after the 1968 pickets, so take the A and shut up now!"

they literally call that the "cotton ceiling" (i.e. lesbians' panties, i.e. consent)

also interesting to trace the de-compartmentalization of the internet over the decades: 80s you had BBS bulletin boards and mailing lists, and the 90s and 00s were dominated by specific fan or political forums and bigger places like Elfwood or Archive of Our Own--and the furries were definitely not a minor part of all this, probably the #2 or 3 subculture after slash writers

social media was uniform and accessible nationwide, their members largely college students, famous as the home of conformist, purge-happy, nitpicking, identitarian "SJWism" early 2010s; I think it was also important that campuses couldn't really protest AGAINST the nice smileysmiley African American president, so a lot of frustration built up and was expressed in like rioting over how classes starting with Gilgamesh were "too white" or how the MALE janitors hung the TP and not like Yemeni genocide

there were still specialty websites and blogs, but the left-lib news sites that'd given Obama a hard time (Daily Kos, Josh Marshall) and ended his Reality Distortion Field were seized and synchronized 2016 because Madame President wasn't going to have the peasants KNOWING what she was doing, ditto FB and Twitter warning that it was illegal to look at WikiLeaks or The NY Post; like they even shut down most comments sections to keep people from sharing leaked news

so just as the educated youth were mobilized and given a glimmer of hope they were promptly thwarted, and that's gonna intensify their mental sublimation and make their politics ... weirder

nowadays Tumblr's a ghost town and Facebook's just where your uncle panics that every gas station in America will be blown up at 3:55 tonight/your aunt gleefully posts that the Marshals are coming for Trump tomorrow, leaving Twitter now as the only happening place for under-40s (Musk or no, since he'd 1. be the first to share litterbox stories and 2. blow eight figures developing the X Corp Automated Dry Waste Collector)

OuroborosTheory · 2024-04-18T23:22:28+00:00

and there's been a reaction on the lefter side of politics against "smolbeanism" or "safetyism" (the "soft language" you mentioned): not because it leaves people spineless and unable to draw a line in the sand, but because it lets them be vicious little shits with full social-media and institutional backing; it's like how mass victimization can just make a group themselves collective perpetrators, seeking blood atonement from everyone BUT their old oppressor (Americo-Liberians, Afrikaners, Hutu, Serbs, and, uh ...)

Ana Mardoll sort of broke the dam, a trans man who always presented as female to lure people into the sin of "misgendering" and then orgasm as a personal army shredded the crybullying victim, then they discovered Mardoll designed incubator-seeking munitions and it was all over

(also rewriting the high-school classic "The Lady and the Tiger" to have a GOOD ending where the protagonist gets the princess and the tiger's sent to live happily ever after in a zoo, which is more awful but in a qualitative way)

OuroborosTheory · 2024-04-18T22:55:25+00:00

flip it back on them, ask why they keep saying "trans women" as though they somehow believe these women are somehow DIFFERENT from the rest

OuroborosTheory · 2024-04-14T21:58:52+00:00

alas it'll probably be replaced by another silly thing, like militant southpaws (can't use the words "sinister" or "right" any more, all the children's books will have to be "updated," sitcoms recut, cartoons redubbed, six-figure "consultants" screaming at teachers and driving them to suicide, mandatory hour-long sessions for all students/employees)

idpol's just too adaptable (and lucrative) a model for building whole institutions overnight to be abandoned; it's like mad-libs romantic nationalism, any Lithuanian/Serbian/Frisian/north Indian/Hutu/third-gen Turk in Berlin will tell you very loudly they wuz kangs/built the first pyramids/inspired Atlantis/invented everything beginning with language/suffered worse than anybody in history

the whole substantive social-political context would have to change from the Obama-Trump era, immediately making it as outmoded as the White Feather Movement or bell bottoms

now's the chance to give the Progressive Stack a trial by fire: white trans woman vs. rich murderer who renounced the Blackness that made him a pathetic icon of revenge

OuroborosTheory · 2024-04-13T22:12:35+00:00

when a group's had unquestioned control over an institution (like the Grauniad and top NHS directives) that actually badly reduces their ability to launch propaganda: they just stormed the administration offices or did the narc-takeover thing they always do and had the people with real power do everything for them

the moment someone says "no" and turns on them they find their abilities atrophied, so you just have them shrieking nonsense like "Doctors Without Borders is transphobic!" but now nobody's bobbleheading along like they had to for a decade

OuroborosTheory · 2024-04-07T20:44:37+00:00

I always use this photo of a drag queen and an AGP sexual offender as an example of everything--one's an explicit parody of femininity, hair, makeup, and clothing all chosen to accentuate the male figure into female; the other's a Ben Franklin lookalike dressed like a color-blind 4th grader would

where would we be without Michelangelo's "female figures who're obviously male but with a breast clamped apple-like onto each pec"?

OuroborosTheory · 2024-04-05T19:28:02+00:00

there's always a tension between the "we're normies too" vs "let your freak flag fly" types in any social movement: one calls the others ideologues isolating themselves from the reality everyone has to live in, the other accuses them of being assimilationists

thing is it's usually kept private (in part to present a united front) so outsiders only see a sudden shift; it's also generational--no gay over 35's gonna think singing "we're coming for your kids!" will turn the course of US history in their favor!
