Christ (so to speak). Same day as the mall mass murder, a bishop was stabbed by a 15 year old while giving a sermon. The police have named it a terrorist incident. Because the stabbing was streamed onto the internet, a crowd of hundreds of locals gathered ...
he's not in premod for being offensive.
depends on who you think is royality. But generally moderators do what they do unless they grossly overstep the mark and then another moderator or admin will act. Sometimes we discuss each other's moderations in the back end. I appreciate the extra weight ...
mod note.
I put you in premod because of your inability or unwillingness to follow moderation cues and it was taking up too much of my time dealing with that. It's easier for mods to see the comments and deal with them before they appear on the front end. Most ...
đ Understood.
why would neurodivergent people find it hard to be in a feminist online space? I'm neurodivergent and I love women's spaces. Lots of ND women do. The purpose of the women's site was to suit women đ
great sticky tactic! I deleted my twitter app from my phone sometimes as a way of curating what I engage with.
that's the second time today I've had to moderate you. Please don't make it three. In this case, it's about the part of the policy that covers tone or language that has the effect of excluding others. JP was sharing personally and answering a question they...
cheers.
One of the problems for people in refuse to use evidenced debate is that its really easy to point out where they are talking shite. What Sabine actually said, And fwiw, maybe maybe also at the very least acknowledge that your spouse, your kids, and your ...
what is the point of that video? It's the second time you've posted it.
a number of things. In the past moderation was looser and there was more abuse. That puts women authors and commenters off. In the debates that meant a lot to women eg discussion rape culture, it was incredibly hard going and many women simply had better ...
get one today, because if they haven't already, twitter are about to introduce fees for new accounts. Which means an end to most new truly pseudonymous accounts.
mod note.
no shit. A tenor of debate that you contribute to. Again, ask yourself why so many feminists and other women stopped being authors and commenting here.
both of you, please stop the spat. Just walk away if you don't want to reply.
Yes there have been trans people engaged in the debate here on TS. There probably still are, people aren't required to share their gender identity before commenting. Maybe next you will ask what happened to all the feminists that used to comment here.
correction, MoH changed their website in 2022 https://thestandard.org.nz/the-cass-review-reader-investigations-into-the-treatment-of-gender-dysphoric-children-and-youth/#comment-1996760
this Family First press release covers it, https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO2209/S00147/puberty-blockers-not-safe-reversible-ministry-of-health.htm You have no idea how fucked off I am that I have to rely on FF for this, instead of it being all over ...
Dropping the puberty blockers are "safe and fully reversible" links here. Please add if you have any. The MoH's advice 20/12/17 Transgender New Zealanders: Children and young people ... Puberty blockers For young people where these feelings continue into ...
Ok. So that is a purely bureaucratic issue in another nation. Sloppy. Hardly earth shattering. Well, no. The point here is why the adult gender clinics refused to share the data. It's an ideological issue and not a bureaucratic one. And it applies in NZ ...
The more pertinent question is why are people saying 12 year olds can't give informed consent to puberty blockers. Following from that, why it took whistleblowers at Tavistock and ex-patients going to court to be able to even get the question looked at ...
it's why I talk about sex as a class as well.

please don't pick a fight with another author, and the site owner/sysop under my posts. This is a difficult enough conversation as it is. But even if it had not been another author, taking potshots at people over this is just a big no. You know how to use ...
one of the great things about the CR is that it is centred around the health needs of gender dysphoric children. The debate is polarised, but she treads a very good middle ground without losing sight of the child safeguarding issues. Yes, she is talking ...
My sympathy over the sweaty balls stuff diminishes rapidly when I think about the fact that he is basically trying to establish that women don't exist as a sex class. The sweaty balls stuff is about what it does to us. It changes the landscape of what is ...
please fix your username.
That really means that to decide if there is a actual problem, the best approach is probably to do what is happening now. Let people make their own decisions about themselves based on the information present at the time, then study it longitudinally. Part...
Hilary Cass spent 4 years investigating the treating of gender dysphoric children in England. She referenced international guidelines and research. She tried to do research in the UK but the adult gender clinics wouldn't release the data she needed (they ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation].
