actually i should probably repost something from one of my other accounts verbatim considering that instance is probably widely defederated lol
It's honestly really funny lol I've said time and time again that i'm not allegiant to anyone nor anything other than the truth, that the only reason i'm an ally is that it's the only rational option based on the available evidence, and that all it would take for that to stop being the case is to prove me wrong (by pointing out novel methodological criticisms, robustly supported new evidence against what i know, etc), you'd think if antis really weren't just dogmatists they would be lining up to do so lol (spoiler: they aren't)
if i ever talk about whether a law should or not exist, it's based on the (i'd argue incorrect) assumption that a government should exist at all, for dialectic purposes
reminder that anti-c fundamentalists are just slightly mild antis, they do not deserve any leniency just for being slightly less bigoted than other bigots
lol you know what's funny? since i've always done hrt unofficially i didn't even notice that apparently it became even harder to do officially here (though realistically it doesn't change much, since the main difference is that now it's entirely impossible <18 and before it already required enough bureaucracy to be de facto impossible, which is why i've always done it unofficially), always remember that the fearmongering about self medication (when it comes to basically anything) is just that, fearmongering
No one is born a doctor, there is no special "doctor gene", there's nothing stopping you from learning everything your doctor knows, especially if you're willing to pirate textbooks
"Teenage brain and adolescent risk-taking theories seem to have been developed with a disregard for alternative explanations. “Brain research needs to be pulled alongside other established cognitive and sociological research, rather than common prejudice,” Sercombe (in press) contends. Risk outcomes must be assessed not as absolutes but in the context of risk exposure—that is, the social factors governing teens’ and adults’ risk opportunities. Yet when behavior contexts are incorporated into the analysis, the entire “adolescent risk taking” construct becomes shaky indeed. Researchers who assert unique adolescent risk, whether blaming it on biology, peer pressure, developmental singularities, or some combination have failed to control even for the most rudimentary socioeconomic conditions."
even if talking about actual abuse (rather than what people usually mean by the term), "CSA" is at best a useless term (there is no reason to specify the age of who it happened to, it's just as bad against adults)
tje pony btw :] YtO and OtY flags on the front legs and agen't and agefluid on the back !!! i wanted to use the xenoage flag too but it has 10 million teeny tiny stripes so .
both myself and the dweeb i'm sharing this body with fucking yearn for some teen to subject to our INSANELY nerdy infodumps. Real niche shit that might get technical if we go too far into it. weird artsy shit, obscure forgetten pieces of peak. (in turn for getting to hear all about their interests)
