I don’t want to believe any of this stuff but the incomprehensible level of failure demands suspicion. Sadly some are more horrified by Hulk Hogan. Former FBI and whistleblower debunks the ID, but the behavior remains suspicious regardless. 3

The fact that Wikipedia community sourced and funded would probably make it more reliable and accurate than something owned by Rupert Murdoch. There is nothing that prevents Republicans or Conservatives from editing Wikipedia entries.

What sources do you recommend and how do you know they are less biased and more accurate than Wikipedia? I got over the bias against Wikipedia about 15 years ago. A study showed that it is generally at least as accurate - and often far more complete - than a lot of comparable privately edited sources. I'd be very cautious with articles about somewhat famous persons, since they clearly have their own publicists writing/editing entries (against Wikipedia rules, of course). But for major things, particularly those with at least a few months between the event and the latest version of the article, it's pretty damn good. As for the "something owned by Rupert Murdoch" - I get that, except that he pretty much leaves the WSJ alone. His other media, not so much. 1

And remember, right wing social media is so much more reliable than the mainstream media ... ... the real story is what is JFK Jr (Vince Fusca, QAnon Hero) doing there right behind Trump? I thought QAnon was dead. It lives!! I'm kidding. Obviously they haven't disavowed QAnon; they like to keep their idiot voting bloc intact while trying to expand their appeal (a little). But look how easy it is. I could spin a whole Trump Assassination Attempt Conspiracy just out of that fact. "The real Deep State - the one identified by QAnon - is disappointed in Trump for not following through on their plan to have him work with the military to restore himself to the Presidency in 2021. Make no mistake - they knew JD Vance, a smarter, more Machiavellian operator - would be the man to carry out the plan. So as soon as it became obvious to Insiders that Vance was the choice, the plan to eliminate Trump kicked into action. Fusca was stationed there in his clearly visible hat (standing most of the time) to provide assistance with targeting." Tell me how that isn't at least as compelling as competing nonsense.

What are you even going on about? Conspiracy theorists aren't beholden to one party. I personally enjoy reading them, not because I always believe them, but because they often provide just enough evidence to get people to ask questions. Many times they do end up being true. People were getting outright removed from social media in 2020 for suggesting that COVID actually came from a lab and not some wet market bat soup. 1 1

We’ve had this discussion before when you made this claim without reading what you linked to. I will resurrect that post so that you can argue with yourself over which data to believe. As with the departed, deranged billstime, your position is “f those people that experience buyer’s remorse”. Sad that you would be so cavalier about the mutilation of young people. added from previous go-roundy on this topic: From your “only 1% regret transitioning” article that you obviously did not bother to digest: The issue here is that neither of these extremes are reliable estimates of regret. The 30 percent figure obviously does not map onto regret. Many people stop using their parent or partner’s health care for reasons completely unrelated to transition regret (i.e., divorce). And the studies of surgery in the review are mostly surgeons following up with their own patients, with quite high dropout rates. It’s not surprising that only 1 percent of people report to a surgeon who did an operation that they regret it! There’s also a problem here about how we define “regret.” One of the biggest studies on transition-related regret was on the Amsterdam gender clinic, including nearly 7,000 people over 43 years. These authors defined “regret” as a patient who came back to the clinic after surgery to access hormones that would reverse their gender transition (and who had this noted in their records). By this definition, less than 1 percent of people regretted their surgery. But this is obviously not a particularly useful definition, because it will miss all of the people who regretted their procedures but went elsewhere for their follow-up care, or simply never got back to the original clinic about their regret. Perhaps the most useful way to examine regret is to look at the proportion of people who cease their transition and go back to the gender they were originally. A large national study found that 13.1 percent of transgender people participating in the U.S. Transgender Survey reported detransitioning at some point in their lives. I think that’s a fairly reasonable estimate of the rate of people experiencing somemeasure of regret around their transition experience. Edited July 19 by JDHillFan 1
