Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
 

The narrator repeatedly steps in to assure listeners that these individuals are “different” from transgender people in America today, emphasizing that their “protocol” was different. The intent is transparent: to cast the progress in gender medicine and the increased accessibility of care in a negative light rather than a step forward.

It’s no surprise, then, that the podcast builds toward what feels like its ultimate argument: that the truth doesn’t lie with Jamie Reed or with trans advocates, but rather with Dr. Hillary Cass in the United Kingdom. Cass is granted an entire episode to present a one-sided view of transgender care.

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible

Good journalism is about asking the tough questions and ignoring the answers you don’t like, then offering misleading evidence in service of preordained editorial conclusions. In our case, endangering trans people is the lodestar that shapes our coverage. Frankly, if our work isn’t putting trans people further at risk of trauma and violence, we consider it a failure.

For more evidence of our time-honored journalistic commitment to endangering lives, please see our previous coverage of gay people, immigrants, Black people, and women.

Research shows that trans people are over four times more likely than cisgender people to be the victim of a violent crime. We salute our colleagues across the media who are working tirelessly to make that number even higher.

i'm not listening to some shitass podcast but puberty blockers were "for" precocious puberty so if this is a trans man it's an incredible coincidence

Identified only as “FG,” the podcast locates him on a quiet European street, living a contented life in his early 50s. “You’re just a man in the world,” Ghorayshi says. FG replies, cheerfully, “I got away with murder… I was the first person.” He adds, “The people that are close to me and the people that are close to me that I’ve told, I love to share… It’s nice to have someone to talk to about that, but it doesn’t have to be common knowledge.”

NYT: Do puberty blockers cause homicidal tendencies? We investigate.

NYT: The guy we just murdered for taking puberty blockers indicates "yes." How would taking puberty blockers make us murder someone? And why? In the 17-part series, I hope to discover...
