You've avoided nearly all of my questions, Norah, because you're literally incapable of answering them. Your mind is firmly closed to any evidence or facts that undermine your preferred narrative. You consider it immoral for anyone to even question you, even though you voluntarily and confidently entered this discussion. You're like a flat-earther. Nothing I or anyone else says to you will permeate your stubborn quasi-religious beliefs, because to change your mind would take away a core part of your self image, which is as somebody who is kinder and better and more righteous than the nasty people still advocating for the safety of women and girls.
You repeat your thought-terminating clichés and unevidenced assertions, which I assume sound clever inside your echo chamber, but which, outside it, make you appear not only dim, but a total moral vacuum. Increased risk to females? Who cares. Women threatened by violence? Of course those poor trans-identified men lash out when they meet resistance! What is a gender identity? You can't really say, but like the flat-earther, you're sure it exists, because your tribe is held together by belief in it, and pride themselves on their blind faith in it.
I keep waiting for a single gender ideologue or trans activist to truly engage with the facts, but all of you sheer away from them like horses from fireworks. It truly is like talking to cult members who're incapable of engaging in rational debate and just keep chanting the mantras, consigning all serious questions to the 'evil' bin.
I've been told I'm on the wrong side of history thousands of times. By debating people like you, I've come to realise that your ilk's idea of the 'right side of history' means stripping women and girls' of their rights, excusing male violence against women, siding with those issuing death and rape threats and attempting to suppress critical thought and freedom of speech.
Maybe, like the flat-earthers, you genuinely think history will vindicate you. I believe people will look back on this period and analyse your arguments, not because they admire them, but because they're trying to fathom how so many supposedly intelligent people fell, hook, line and sinker for a bunch of vacuous, post-modern, pseudo-intellectual cobblers, while being completely indifferent to the real world harm they were enabling.

A short thread on the thorny question of whether LLMs are deterministic or not. There's more to be said to clarify the question, but this is a decent quick sketch of an answer.
TL;DR: It's all a question of how machine learning encodes inductive bias.

A beloved friend who I helped peak on “trans” a few years back left me a voice memo sounding a bit distraught for her usual bubbly self. She met a new friend through an activity group, only to learn that the woman specializes in transing kids. My friend clearly felt deeply disturbed but managed to handle it with grace, hinting that she felt passionately about the same issue but from a different angle. She walked away to process on her own and of course contacted me.
I told my friend: I think you felt this way because you were in the presence of evil. Evil doesn’t appear wearing devils horns. It appears in the form of someone who started off with the best of intentions, with values and cultural leanings eerily similar to your own. There’s a moral inversion that’s taken place here, hijacking this woman’s instincts to protect children and turning them completely inside out. That’s what’s so creepy about this encounter. It’s why you walk away feeling… perhaps ashamed, disgusted, horrified, shattered.

Race is not real when it comes to genetic heritability, but race is real when it comes to workplace diversity.

Fascinating how so many people are out here saying “this doesn’t happen” and “this is a made up MAGA problem.”
So let me shed some light… This happened to my little girl (and at the time I was a staunch Democrat who had just voted for Joe Biden.)
I went public and discovered it had happened to many others. I sued all the way to the Supreme Court — along with other affected parents.
The school district admitted to and defended it, in legal documents. Justice Alito called our case “troubling and tragic” and an issue of “great and growing national importance.”
It was a living nightmare that almost destroyed my child.
But willfully ignorant TDS sufferers will claim mine was an isolated incident…
So here are some other lawsuits from affected families that anyone can research, each with hundreds of pages of evidence:
These have reached Supreme Court:
• John and Jane Parents v Montgomery County (23-601)
• Parents Protecting Our Children v Eau Claire (23-1180)
• Foote v Ludlow (25-77)
• Lee v Poudre (25-89) **my case**
• Littlejohn v Leon (25-289)
• Lavigne v Great Salt Bay (25-759)
These other cases have been filed in lower courts all over the country:
• Doe v Weiser (Colorado)
• Mead v Rockford Public School District (Michigan)
• Vitsaxaki v Skaneateles Central SD (New York)
• Lema v Davenport (New Jersey)
• Regina v Staley (California)
• Doe/Heaps v Delaware Valley (New Jersey)
• Blair v Appomattox (Virginia)
• Konen v Spreckles (California)
• Perez v Broskie (Florida)
• Koltenbach v Hilliard City Schools (Ohio)
• DF/Figliola v Harrisonburg City Schools (Virginia)
• Wiley v Sweetwater County School District (Wyoming)
• Parents Defending Ed v Linn-Mar (Iowa)
• TF v Kettle Moraine (Wisconsin)
So many other brave parents have come forward with FACTS about their child’s secret school transition: @bourne_beth2345, @ErinFriday75490, @LydiamamaTerf, @AlyashchenkoX, @nogenderpredtrs just to name a few.
The gaslighting phase has ended. Parents who’ve endured the horrors of the secret school transition of our kids can no longer be denied. There’s too many of us now. We’re going to end this nightmare for other parents, no matter how many people play pretend that we don’t exist.
So where is this happening? In the cafeteria?
What child has been secretly transitioned in school?
This is some goofy shit.

Is there something that I'm missing with the whole Enes Kanter thing? It seems like he's genuinely fighting for women's rights so WNBA player aren't forced to have to compete against some big, burly man in a wig

Useless trying to get normies to do Carnivore tbh
a) 99% of people don't have the discipline
b) normies are incapable of understanding ketogenesis
c) utilization of caloric mass is somehow impossible to understand
d) big fiber has been doing massive mental damage to the whole world for years
Yes you won't poop as much. This is because you're actually using like 98% of what you eat when you only eat meat. No you won't be constipated. Fiber is useless. You only need fiber if you are eating carbs to help digest all the shit your body can't use. No you don't need low LDL to prevent, you need good LDL to HDL ratio. No you won't get scurvy. No you don't need micronutrients from plants to be healthy. Beef pretty much has everything you need.
You will have a brief transition period where you feel tired and not great then your body will start using ketones. Eventually your body will produce glucose from protein and your blood sugar will stay completely level.
I wouldn't really recommend it unless you have some kind of health issue tbh since other foods are just Yummy. But if you are overweight or have some autoimmune issue yes Carnivore is the best thing you can do.

After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.

An answer from Princeton would be nice.
Alleged research misconduct by Sabine Kastner, and silencing whistleblowers by the psychology department at Princeton Univeristy.
Multiple former members of the Kastner Lab at Princeton University, including former postdocs and graduate students, have formally reported research misconduct by Professor Sabine Kastner, including alleged data falsification spanning over 20 years.
They describe a culture where people feared speaking up. Some remained anonymous because they feared retaliation.
My own experience: after I raised concerns, I was removed from Kastner lab. I was explicitly told by the psychology department leadership that this happened because I raised concerns anonymously: they told me “you questioned her integrity. PNI is a community. You attack one of us, you attack all of us.”
Afterward, I could not secure a new adviser and my PhD enrollment was terminated through the “no active adviser” rule.
Many affected trainees were international students. Losing an adviser means losing visa status, and international relocation, creating enormous pressure not to report concerns. This is exactly why Kastner lab recruits a disproportionately high number of international trainees. And why the lab website has most former members erased.
The research involved is supported by active NIH grants of over $20m. Involved publications include papers in Science, Nature Neuroscience, and Neuron.
The departmental leadership has been complicit, by helping remove students who raised concerns instead of protecting them.
Over the coming weeks, I will post documents, timelines, and evidence so people can examine the facts themselves.

Every aspect of pediatric gender medicine is a naked fraud. Literally none of it survives even the most cursory scrutiny.
The Utah Review is perhaps the most brazen of the many brazen frauds upon which a pseudo-consensus on behalf of an occult practice was constructed.
NEW: Zhenya Abbruzzese (@segm_ebm) joins me for a special @CityJournal podcast to discuss pediatric transition advocates' leading piece of evidence: the Utah review.
Conflicts of interest, omission of harms, failure to conduct formal synthesis, and more. Full interview 👇
