Why are all the protesters women and the guards men in this picture? I feel that this picture left out all the men in the protest, or the men are being irresponsible by letting women stand on the front-line, so to speak. I feel that it’s the former.

Where does this picture come from exactly?

Oh look, a cute friend!

I don’t want to say “I told you so”, but I told you so.

What a condescending comment. Typical Lemmy-tier response. Is that all you’ve got to say, dip shit?

Interesting quotes:

At the request of the English National Health Service, the senior pediatrician Hilary Cass has completed the most thorough consideration yet of this field, and her report calmly and carefully demolishes many common activist tropes. Puberty blockers do have side effects, Cass found. The evidence base for widely used treatments is “shaky.” Their safety and effectiveness are not settled science.

…

We also don’t have strong evidence that social transitioning, such as changing names or pronouns, affects adolescents’ mental-health outcomes (either positively or negatively). We don’t have strong evidence that puberty blockers are merely a pause button, or that their benefits outweigh their downsides, or that they are lifesaving care in the sense that they prevent suicides.

…

We don’t know why the number of children turning up at gender clinics rose so dramatically during the 2010s, or why the demographics of those children changed from a majority of biological males to a majority of biological females.

…

Medicalized gender treatments for minors became wrapped up with a push for wider social acceptance for transgender people, something that was presented as the “next frontier in civil rights,” as Time magazine once described it. Any questions about such care were therefore read as stemming from transphobic hostility, full stop.

I think the issue is more related to his takeover of Twitter and the massive purge of leftist ideologues from one of the world’s largest social media company. I’m almost certain this has nothing to do with cars.

This is a massive loss of power and influence for these sorts of people. Now they are showing how much they are seething by playing all these games, like talking shit about Tesla lol.

FYI, I don’t even like Tesla. I think it’s a cyberpunk dystopia on wheels. I would never buy one nor recommend it to anybody. This is not about cars.

The name of the community, the constant Tesla (Elon) bad postings on the front page, it’s getting ridiculous.

It’s important to mention these flaws with Tesla specifically, because Elon Musk doesn’t have the right politics.

PS The name of this community is terribly ironic.

Maybe true.

Neither his nor Hitler’s hands are visible, so how am I supposed to make that comparison?

Yeah, if you are talking about the ones that are not Trump-Hitler.

Trump doesn’t look like Hitler.

Germany taxes too much.

Isn’t there a better way to view politics than placing everything in a left-right spectrum?

NBC News, how much did you get for this article?
