How very strange and unexpected that, even though you are very interested in informing people about regret rates and informed consent of medical interventions, you've only chosen to actually do so for one of the least problematic interventions following your criteria. I wonder why?
Can you share a single comment of yours doing this same thing for another medical intervention?
So you just want to spread knowledge? Again, why not focus on the issues of informed consent and regret rates of the hundreds of medical interventions that are talked about much less? Why do you focus on the one intervention that's doing the best in those areas, and that is already talked about every day?
Because there is nothing here to discuss. You bring up the same old tired talking points which are always brought up by transphobes:
-
"They aren't telling patients about the risks and dangers, I just want them to be properly informed!", when the whole point of the long waiting times and intense process before anything medical happens is explicitly because of this issue. There is no other medical intervention with anywhere close to this amount of information, but it's still not enough, even if you can't put into words why.
-
"So many people regret transitioning!", when literally almost every other medical intervention has much high regret rates (yes, even higher than the 13% you pulled out of wherever). You're also leaving out that the biggest reason for detransitioning is missing social acceptance.
What other points did you bring up? As I said, it's the usual bullshit, packaged in the usual "just asking questions". If your issue is informed consent or regret rates, why not focus on one of the hundreds of medical interventions with higher rates? Why focus on the one with incredibly low rates?
If your issue is regret of medical interventions, why are you focussing on one of the medical interventions with the lowest regret rate? Why not invest your time in one of the many other interventions with massively bigger regret rates? The easy and obvious answer is that you have issues with trans people, and you haven't given any explanation when I asked you multiple times, strongly supporting that thesis.
Even 13% is much lower than most medical interventions. Why do you not know this? If you do, why do you lie about it?
Why don't you want people to know the truth? Why are you going Elon here? What are you trying to hide?
Wow, you really can't scroll up? Fine, here's your previous comment:
Weird how you left out the links of studies, reports of people that actually do regret it. I mean should we just ignore those people?
If you want kids to be able to make these decisions, you will have to inform them. Properly. Not just paint them a nice picture. That's what you're currently doing. Not informing them and painting nice pink pictures.
It is not sunshine and rainbows for everyone. There are trans people who regret it. Ignoring that fact is being dishonest with yourself and the transcommunity.
Not sure why you're telling me I didn't mention some 13% number, when I didn't mention any numbers at all. Yet it's even more weird that you're not bringing up that even those 13% are lower than most other medical interventions. Again, why do you keep focusing on trans topics, when other medical interventions have this issue to a much larger degree?
Why do you want to diddle small children/spread anti-trans rhetoric?
Implying that the current levels of informed consent aren't enough to properly inform people, and further implying that large amounts of regret exist due to transitioning, is without question anti-trans.
Oooh. Ooooh boy. I am so, so sorry for what you're about to experience.
Well, you're posting anti-trans rhetoric (talking about regret rates without mentioning that they are much lower than almost any others, talking as if people weren't well-informed about the risks during the multi-year process it takes to transition etc). I can quote your whole post back to you if it helps you? But you can just scroll up and read your own comment, it's a neat function of messaging boards.
So requesting you be honest and fully inform kids is pedophiliac tendencies? You do get how this makes you look? Right?
No, I'm talking about your kiddy diddling/anti-trans rhetoric. Why do you diddle kids/spread anti-trans rhetoric?
The rate of regret for transition is massively lower than almost any other medical intervention. Why do you care so much about this one specific type of intervention, above all others? Why not invest your activism into medical interventions with much higher rates of regret?
And why do you choose to spend time on your pedophilic tendencies/anti-trans activism?

FTFY!

How do you feel when someone turns everything not Shrek into Shrek?
The idea that this is in any way comparable to my previous example shows the amount of empathy people with your positions have for other groups: none at all.
Yeah, no. Allowing this kind of fuckwittery excludes other people from the platform. How do you think the average minority player feels when people create mods specifically to turn non-white characters white? If you want these things available, go ahead and create your own platform - but don't force others to swallow your racist, sexist bullshit.
Or, to make it short: too bad you feel discriminated against while trying to discriminate against others.

Cities Skylines 2: "Beach properties assets are all gone and my city is screwed. Thanks a lot."
Since the removal of the DLC, and the fact it's not already in the base game, all assets related to it now appear as grey boxes. Thanks again for that, as it was doubtlessly absolutely necessary to remove the DLC now and not when it's integrated...
It doesn't stop. It just never stops.
What is your favorite moment in Invincible (show/comics)? What made you go "this is something different"?
Please use spoiler tags for comic spoilers (anything that hasn't been shown in the latest episodes of the show)!
Hey all! I'd like to try starting a directed discussion, since participation in the episode discussions hasn't really happened yet (but it's slowly picking up on the sub, woohoo!). Depending on how things go I'll post more in the coming weeks :)
What was the moment or thing that happened which made you go "This isn't like other superhero media"? I think we can all agree that Invincible feels very refreshing and has many interesting ideas. Is there something you really like? Or something that defines Invincible?

What are your thoughts on this episode? I know the comics, so the beginning didn't throw me off - but I watched this episode on a bunch of reaction channels, and I love how confused they were at first!

Do the sacrifices of a godhand member influence their strength?
I'm really interested in trying to get more information about Void, and one angle I haven't read much about is this: does the amount of people sacrificed, and their strength, influence the power of the resultant godhand member?
There definitely seems to be some kind of correlation between sacrifices and power, since Slan states in chapter 82: "It's ironic though. The stronger his life force and the greater his anguish, the more they become precious bread for the new life of darkness". From this we can at least deduct that a strong sacrifice makes the new member stronger than a weak sacrifice.
Now the question is: shouldn't this mean that Void is much, much more powerful than Griffith currently is? After all, he sacrificed not just a band of mercenaries (who have some very strong members, albeit only few due to the year before), but an entire kingdom. I do think the average sacrifice was much weaker for Void (as they were most likely not warriors, but intellectuals), though it's difficult to say since we know very little about his eclipse. But nonetheless I definitely think there is some correlation here.
This of course leads to some interesting possibilities for what Griffith is currently up to. Is he planning to somehow ascend further by making another, much bigger sacrifice? Do the godhand members have a hierarchy which he is trying to climb (almost certainly)? Could he be trying to surpass the Idea of Evil itself?
Do you think that the placement of the brand has a meaning?
I'm re-reading the manga right now. During the Eclipse, we see the brand placed on a number of hawks, each in a different place (link to the panel):
-
Casca gets it on the left side of her chest, roughly over her heart
-
Guts, of course, has it on his neck
-
Judeau gets his on the palm of his left hand
-
Pippin has it on his forearm
-
Corkus gets his on his forehead (just like the bodies below the tower of rebirth)
I can make an argument for each of them to have gotten it on whatever they most rely on, except for Guts, I can't make a concrete argument why it's his neck.
But what I'm really interested in is this: can we learn anything about the bodies from Gaiserics kingdom from this? It might be that the population of his city wasn't made up of fighters and physical people at the time it was sacrificed, but of thinkers, or at least people who rely more on wit and cunning than on strength (positive or negative). This would make sense considering the technological and social advancements they seem to have made.
What do you guys think?
What topic do you LOVE to talk about, but rarely get to?
Everyone has something they can't stop themselves from nerding out over - but often it's hard to find people to talk to about it. So go ahead, share your interests, and tell us about them!
