Groundbreaking news: hold onto your hsts

[TinselAngel]

The "organisation" which has replaced "Steph's Place" has big news and there just isn't enough popcorn in the world:

Haha! That was autocorrected from "hats" but is actually appropriate.

That typo is CLASS!

Is this like Jennifer Anniston saying "here comes the science - concentrate"?

This is marvellous!!!

There is some tiny (and I mean tiny) research projects which "show" brains same sex attracted transwomen have similarities to brains of hetrosexual females.

There are other studies showing people with gender dysphoria have different brains to people who don't have gender dysphoria. Pink News did a report on this, but later scrapped it, because it didn't fit the lady brain narrative.

All the studies are too small in sample size to prove or disprove anything.

The only provable difference between male and female brains is size.

Your average TRA sees brains like this

Exactly.

OK. You found a biological mechanism that causes people believe that their gender (sic) does not match their sexed body.

Now what?

Male bodies and female bodies still exist, humans are still sexually dimorphic, male people who have this variation are still male, and female people who have it are still female.

Literally nothing changes.

It’s very telling that the reaction to more information potentially coming to light about an issue are met with howls of outrage. What other conditions which are apparently so grave as to drive people to the brink of suicide are characterised by the people suffering from them objecting to research?

Bonkers.

It's weird because I don't think I type HSTS more often than I type hats! Maybe it's a special FWR autocorrect.

Heh.

Hehehe.

Hehehehehehehehehheeh!

Yes grombles - they tell us who they are every single time don’t they?

Somebody somewhere is potentially going to make an absolute mountain of cash churning out affirmative trans tests.

Shame Elizabeth Holmes isn't looking into new projects at the moment.

Yes, who would agree that you should allow deluded, entitled men into women's spaces, any more than non-deluded, entitled men.

"it's not fair that I'm running 100 m next to that man"

"It is, because he's deluded - der".

People should be able to be trans just because they want to be?

😶

Well THAT'S not the response they were expecting!

Roll on Friday!

Indeed! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSTS

Can't wait for the Big Day

I have a few packs of covid tests I can rebrand with unicorns and mermaids.

will it be “T” or “C”?

that’s Christmas presents paid for.

Like this?

Put your popcorn away I'm afraid

I think it was in a book by Professor Richard Feynman where he said when doing a scientific study you should commit to publish whatever the results as even finding nothing still adds to knowledge.

Withdrawing a paper because people don't want to hear the answer is the opposite of science.

🙍‍♀️🙍🙍‍♂️

all the gendered emoji people in my keyboard are sad about this

They're erasing the existence of research into trans people? They sound like right-wing bigots :(

Oh dear. Too many people worried it might fuck up self ID, I take it.

The poor scientist tho, who has to keep this groundbreaking, miraculous test to himself, now. For evah.

Bang goes the Nobel Prize. Back to the day job.

Oh I was looking forward to it!

LOL! That's another golden thread to archive.

You were looking forward to it, I’ve got a van load of glitter encrusted covid tests for nothing now!

now what do I put on my Etsy?
