James Cagney, in Mervyn Leroy's 1933 Hard to Handle, saying: "Don't get your pants on an uproar."

And it came to pass that the people confused knowing about a thing with having expertise in that thing. And lo, a cacophony of voices was heard throughout the land expounding on all manner of things in tones of grave authority. And the Lord looked down upon what he had created and sighed heavily.

4 star Amazon book review that reads: "A nice crisp narrative sprinkled with repeated mentions of how wealthy the author was"

when I write my book, this is what I want the reviews to look like

a minor character in Mervyn Leroy's Gold Diggers of 1933. an older man in an expensive suit and wire-rimmed glasses stares into the middle distance, saying: "I don't know why she did, but she called me 'fuffy.'"

sometimes you just never find out why she called you "fuffy"...and it haunts you for the rest of your days

transgender abortions for everyone

one was a sheep rancher in central Utah (also a banker and a state legislator).

the other started a large culvert company...and was also a Seabee who fought in both world wars and was instrumental in creating the infrastructure for the storming of Normandy.

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

um....

is this a perfect process? of course not. but in all my years of practice, I have yet to have a single trans youth I have worked with express any regret about the decisions this process has led them to make.

taking a child's self-report of their experience of gender at face value is not a problem. a client's self-report is vital information. as a therapist, you follow that information across time. a client who consistently and coherently reports the same experience over time is telling you who they are.

as a therapist who works with trans youth, what I do is listen to my clients. I believe what they tell me about their experience. I sit with that experience, which may or may not evolve. I do this in consultation with parents.

I am not in the business of telling anyone what they are or are not.

well, at least we're hastening the apocalypse, there's always that

here's an idea...how about we take our functional product and make it horrible instead?

scene from Mervyn Leroy's 1932 film Three in a Match. a woman is in a salon, her hair is being curled by a contraption hanging down from the ceiling, with electrical cords attached to each of the curlers. it has the look of a cheap sci-fi set.

couldn't decide whether I wanted a brain transplant or to get my hair done, so I asked for both

All arise now and recite the bluesky code of honor:

oh my god, young Humphrey Bogart...

Photo of wren. Description from ebird: ‘A very small, dark grayish-brown bird with a short tail, a reddish-brown throat, and a black-and-white scalloped pattern on the belly. Inconspicuously feeds in low, thick vegetation, where it is very hard to see. Similar to Rufous-throated Wren-Babbler, but Mishmi Wren-Babbler is darker overall, with a distinctive white chin and a white edge to the throat. The song is a strong, melodic burst of notes repeated 2-4 times and often followed by a short trill.’

Hi, it's me, the parent who is homophobic but not transphobic. I am working with the same doctors currently being threatened with prosecution by a fascist but are nonetheless beholden to trans activists. We want to create more trans women because they are universally heterosexual

maybe I'll get into sales
