    Trans issues

    This is deliciously ironic. I wasn't going to mention it because I don't like arguments from authority but I'm actually a geneticist. That was my gateway into this subject. It's why I know it's all a load of bollox. Your thinking is so muddled (great work Slab!) that it's not even wrong. 1)...

    Trans issues

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsw3pdpxf64 If it's just "rotten eggs", why do the crowd cheer? Are there any cases of TERFs applauding someone for saying "If you see a tranny, punch them in the face"? Why did the Trans Pride organisers condone this incitement to violence, claiming it was a...

    Trans issues

    I said it's a shame there isn't a hell ;) Ok, maybe an eternal punishment is not quite deserved :) If I point out the massive and permanent harms being done by too incautious an approach to treating GD, and someone responds along the lines of what's all the fuss about? and pretends that...

    Trans issues

    I posted a video of a teenage girl who underwent double mastectomy at 13 and has since detransitioned. Slab responded asking if I would be equally concerned by boys undergoing mastectomy for gynecomastia. How is that not comparing the two? My mother had a double mastectomy for breast cancer...

    Trans issues

    Just thought I’d point out more of Slab’s misrepresentations of the evidence… This is just a straw man argument, as you doubtless know. Nobody claims that people are being “forced” to transition against their will. The actual claim is that i) the risk of misdiagnosis is higher in ASD people due...

    Trans issues

    Do you have an argument? To me equating a 13 year old girl expressing regret that she will never be able to breastfeed because she had a mastectomy, to treatment of gynecomastia in boys, is evil. I believe that.

    Trans issues

    But of course, you cannot define man or woman (a circular definition is not a definition). Holy shit, you're caught in a lie and you just go on lying. I will quote from my previous post. Again, people can decide for themselves if there is a consensus among clinicians. The BMJ - Gender...

    Recent wildlife sightings

    Awesome shots Tim. Recently I got to witness something pretty cool, to me at least: a Kestrel mobbing a Barn Owl. The cheeky bugger was trying to steal its mouse. It followed it all the way back to its nest but was ultimately unsuccessful. I got some pics but they're pretty crap (I'm a nub)...

    Trans issues

    100% mate We have Slab citing vanishingly rare intersex disorders to try to poke holes in the definition of biological sex, while proposing to replace it with something called "gender identity" that they cannot even begin to define. You couldn't make this shit up. It's one thing to support...

    Trans issues

    Most reporting on the subject implies that the policy is going ahead, the objections of trans activists notwithstanding. The BBC is unambiguous: "Puberty blockers will only be prescribed to children attending gender identity services as part of clinical research, NHS England has announced."...

    Trans issues

    Oh wow, so you seriously maintain that the UK has not abandoned the "gender-affirming" approach? You know that puberty blockers have been banned outright in under 16s outside of clinical trials, right? This was after a review by NICE which concluded that the evidence for their efficacy was of...

    Trans issues

    I would quite like it if we didn't put vulnerable 15 year old girls with a slew of co-morbid mental health conditions and complex trauma -- it'd be nice if we didn't put them on cross-sex hormones and a waiting list for a fucking mastectomy at their second 45 minute appointment, and then...

    Oops, I think the permissions were wrong in google photos. I can't edit my original post so posting here. Hopefully working now?

    Recent wildlife sightings

    Chukar Partridge on the south west edge of Kinder Scout. Little fella didn't seem at all bothered by me, and let me get within a couple metres before running (not flying) away. Seems very probable he was a game bird despite it being illegal to release this species since 92. Barn Owl in Peter...

    Tyler Nelson - drawbacks on weighted deadhanging for well trained climbers

    Just listened. Personally, I don't think he says anything that answers the criticisms in this thread. For starters he claims the point of hangboarding (all strength training, in fact) is to increase motor unit recruitment. Wut? He says at 13:35 "If I'm trying to get a benefit [in] a sport, all I...

    More accurate power-to-weight handicap calculation.

    Aren't you basically just saying that, if you take two climbers of equal weight and height, the one with more (climbing-specific) muscle will climb harder, all else being equal. Surely that's obvious? What I find more interesting is the question of whether fat distribution matters i.e. if you...
