Surely with how many are already employed to sit in the wingbox on every flight, one more shouldn't be an issue.

I wish I could read chapter 24 for the first time again. It's the chapter I re-read the most often.

Am I transphobic for sometimes calling her bombardier cseries?

"lapsed-Catholic disaster transsexuals" Thought by Maxine in ch. 28 of When You Fell From Heaven by Alyson Greaves

First thought was Shon Faye's Love in Exile

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times.

Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

A really sad follow-up to this story — Alexis Erlinmeyer, one of the trans federal intelligence workers who was fired, has died of a pulmonary embolism. She was 31. Her family is burying her under her deadname, so friends are fundraising for an accurate memorial: www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-...

From the kitchencels community on Reddit: Started taking estrogen — not because I'm trans, but to stop being attracted to women. Overcooked steak that was dry as hell Explore this post and more from the kitchencels community

Picture of a medium steak cut in half on a blue plate with a hand holding a vial of estradiol off to the side. Reddit post in r/kitchencel titled "started taking estrogem - not because I'm trans, but to stop being attracted to women. Overcooked steak that is dry as hell" Post reads "Even though it made my attraction towards women greater, I don't get horny anymore, which is great. I read that bottom surgery can help so I want that next. But now I kinda fucked myself because no women would want a guy with boobs who also wants bottom surgery. If anyone knows a drug or surgery that would make me stop being attracted to women I'd love to read about it. It's important that it doesn't just change it to men, but turns attraction off like a demagnetizer."

Just stumbled upon one of the wildest reddit threads I've ever seen. Roommate and I are trying to guess if it's real or fake.

I've read it 4 times, and so can you!

If trans people make up 0.5% of the population, then more cis people will be incorrectly ID'd than trans people correctly ID'd until they identifier has a 99.5% probability of correct ID. If trans people are 1.5% of population, the identifier needs a probability of 98.5%. 4/4

The graph shows the percentage of people ID'd as trans who are in fact cis for a given odds of correct ID. Only 100% odds of correct ID result in no cis people being discriminated against. 3/4

Assume the trans population is 1% of the overall population. If someone can correctly ID trans and cis people 99% of the time, they will incorrectly ID the same number of cis people as trans as they will correctly ID trans people as trans. Put another way, 50% are false positives (typr 1 error). 2/4

Graph titled "Type 1 Error (%)." The vertical axis is labeled "# Cis ID'd as Trans / # ID'd as Trans," and the horizontal axis is labeled "Odds of Correct ID." The line is bowed outward and downward sloping with a y-intercept at (0.9,91.67) and an x-intercept at (1,0).

To all the reporters writing headlines about how trans people may be refused bathroom access in the UK based on appearance. It will almost certainly cause more cis women to be denied bathroom access. 1/4

Fyi, don't sneeze after bottom surgery 💀

Bottom surgery recovery has gone a lot better than I expected. Steeled myself for tremendous pain or something. Instead, it just feels like I got electrolysis this morning.

Real. The cognitive dissonance required at work these days is so exhausting.

I've now gone full circle: straight > transitioned > lesbian > queer > bisexual > straight, so I guess I can tick off the G retroactively bringing my lifetime score to LGBTQA.

I miss eastern washington so much.

If you look at inflation expectations, they never went back to pre-covid levels, despite what the data shows. In addition, income and unemployment expectations for one year from now are not good.

I appreciate that @andreabeckerphd.bsky.social at least considers trans men and the hypocrisy of the trt push for cis men.

New working paper from my colleague and I reviewing the current state of trans econ and formalizing a model of gender identity and expression.

A drawing of a cat saying you rock on the title page of Lessons in Magic and Disaster.

Excited to read @charliejane.bsky.social's "Lessons in Magic and Disaster." She read a chapter about Mae and Serena's relationship which hit home and made me feel kind of awkward because I was attending with my roommate/ex-gf.

Not sure exactly what you are looking to do, but hanging punctuation can be handled by microtype, which latexml can process. Otherwise, the source code for hanging should be fairly straightforward to implement using supported packages.

The lack of any consistent alignment is a dead giveaway. Centered at first glance, but actually aligned slightly left of center, but not consistently. Then the last two are aligned slightly right of center. Absolute slop.

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

A bunch of rich and powerful people were too stupid to look past her great grandfather's achievements, and the documentary spent its entire runtime trying to rationalize their brain rot to protect their image. The nepotism was so obvious.

They've also uncritically adopted the phrase "biological boys" which is effective at conjuring parental concern, but trans girls are not boys nor are they "biologocal boys" especially if they are on puberty blockers and/or hormones. Anytime this phrasing is used, they need to push back immediately.
