Now the American Medical Association Warns Against Gender Mutilations for Children
Pretty amazing that our "experts" just figured out that you should not mutilate children.
We should definitely trust them. Note, however, they still support sterilizing artificial cross-sex hormones which cause irreversible effects, of course. They're just opposing the most visible and most politically toxic part of the Trans All Children agenda.Another domino has fallen in the war against child mutilation as the American Medical Association (AMA) has renounced gender surgeries on children. This is the second major medical group this week that's taken such a stand. On Tuesday, I reported that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) was the first to come out against sex change surgeries for minors. More to the point, the AMA said that gender surgeries should wait at least until patients are adults. Prior to this week, the majority of the medical community and its professional associations fought against restrictions on gender surgeries and related care. Their earlier stance was to push for "evidence-based" decisions that center on what they had described as the unique needs of the person, regardless of age. In other words, the ghouls favored making gender surgery decisions on a case-by-case basis, even with children. In addition to surgery, such decisions may also have considered pharmaceutical puberty blockers and hormone therapies. In making its announcement, the AMA said that while it continued to support treatment for gender-confused minors, there is not enough research on the risks and benefits of surgical procedures for young patients. This stance is very similar to that of the plastic surgeons, which the AMA acknowledged: "In the absence of clear evidence, the AMA agrees with ASPS that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood." So what happened that has caused so much of this new enlightenment? My colleague Rick Moran covered an interesting legal case and a $2 million award that may have single-handedly destroyed the sex change industry for minors. ... Last week, [a detransitioner named, supposedly, "Fox"] Varian won a $2 million jury award -- not an out-of-court settlement -- in this landmark case. The court victory for Varian has sent shockwaves throughout the medical industry.Cutting healthy tissue off children didn't bother them. But having to pay higher malpractice insurance rates? That finally roused their consciences.
If you're keeping score, there's one organization we have not yet heard from in terms of changing its position on the issue, and that's the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). In fact, when the New York Times reached out to the AAP for comment, it said its position on gender surgeries for minors hasn't changed.The experts want to mutilate your children. Always Trust the Experts.

On its face, $2M ain't a whole lot, but this case was the most favorable of facts for the butchers. Lefty jurisdiction (Westchester), fairly well papered-over procedure, parental consent (!), a relatively older girl, proof that the girl was happy with the procedure for at least a few years after, and some evidence that the case was just a money-grab.
If that jury gave $2M to that girl, then god only knows what they would award in a case with better facts for the plaintiff.

A tranny writing for the Seattle alt-weekly "The Stranger" had a series of articles about trannies who fled Fascist Red America for Seattle.
One of them, who was a "NASA scientist" in Florida, mentioned that he could no longer get his "gender-affirming" care in Florida, because Florida medical facilities were worried about liability. (Florida passed a law making it crystal-clear that doctors and medical facilities were liable for the adverse consequences caused by chemically and surgically mutilating people.)

"Transgender is not valid. It is a symptom of mental illness. Have a nice day."
This tells me that they should remove "Medical" from their name. They are an "American Association" whose positions, actions, and edicts do nothing more than encourage mental illness. They are complicit no matter how much they tone down their rhetoric. They will remain complicit until they identify individuals claiming to be something they are not for what they really are....mentally ill.

19 seems like a stupid age to set, until you see it as setting a trap to force the question to the supreme court so they can rule that it's constitutional to restrict the rights of adult trans people, which will give every state chomping at the bit the precedent they need to open the flood gates and ban all medical interventions for trans people.
They won't stop at surgeries. Job restrictions, bathroom bans and suddenly we are insane and should be locked up for "treatment". More organisms for the peeedos.
Cisgender people need to stfu about trans rights issues. After witnessing ten years of cisgender "allies" making things worse by treating my right to exist as a football in their little team politics game.
Gay people wouldn't have their rights today without the blood of trans women of colour. Instead of trying to cut the T from the LGBT they should respect their history and those who bleed and fucking died so they can have rights.

See my comment above about her age and proof that she was happy with the procedure. She wrote a letter to the doctors thanking them for doing the procedure and how it changed her life for the better. She apparently lived as a boy for years without incident or regret. Then all of a sudden she sues. Looks mercenary.

Today, Vice President Kamala Harris and People For the American Way announced the revival and rebrand of the KamalaHQ accounts as a new project: Headquarters.
KamalaHQ played a critical role in the 2024 presidential campaign as the accounts helped to move key messages like Project 2025 from the “left bubble” and into the mainstream. Now, the Vice President is partnering with People For the American Way – one of the most storied membership organizations in the country – to build an effort to mobilize pro-justice, pro-fairness, pro-democracy young people against far-right extremism. This combination of these large social media accounts and an organization that has for decades been at the nexus of culture and politics will help power the progressive movement for another generation.
Conservatives build permanent organizing infrastructure. Progressives have historically built machines that dismantle after Election Day. Headquarters is the end of that cycle.

We are a nation without titles, and retaining the title, even merely rhetorically, irks the shit out of me. It's unAmerican.

They can take some money off a dickchopper. But if the Party doesn't like that, then that lawyer will be cut off from access to the money river, and the other lawyers and judges will take their dippin' cup and smash it.
Unless it's a "fuck you money" settlement, no lawyer will risk the wrath of the Party over it.

It's been explained many times here, but it's the term Kiwi Farms uses for male to female trannies. (they use "Pooner" for female to male.)
It originated on the site Something Awful, where all the users were called "goons". A ton of people on SA went tranny, so those people were called "troons" (tranny + goon). It spread.

RFK has been saying it's glyphosate. In the US, farmers are allowed to spray wheat with a desiccant before harvest that dries it out evenly and speeds up the harvest/processing process. They typically use glyphosate.
I personally don't think it's just that one thing. Celiac is real. But a lot of people who seem to be wheat intolerant don't have Celiac. Some of it may be in people's heads. I think it's a combination of all three and probably more environmental contaminants.

Pushing the procedures to age 21 is better than what we have now, but this is still medical malpractice at any age.

Celiacs are not the only folks who should avoid gluten. While I agree the numbers are inflated, there are folks with wheat allergies (who are avoiding more than just the gluten) and gluten insensitivity (where is causes inflammation - ala just like the Celiacs) who should also avoid it.
And then there are the low carb/Keto folks who probably should be seeking better forms of carbs for the few limited ones they are allowed/day. Although they wouldn't be looking for "gluten free" products, but an apple...

"The human brain typically reaches full maturity between the mid-to-late 20s (approx. age 25–30). While the brain stops increasing in physical size during early adolescence, the prefrontal cortex—responsible for impulse control, planning, and decision-making—is the last area to fully develop, undergoing significant maturation well into the third decade of life."

1) the Bar has been captured as surely as the medical profession by DEI and Progressive thinking. The Bar runs the state education and licensing, as well as the ethics oversight. When the Board of Governors were old crusty lawyers that passed the bar in the 60's abd 70's it was a restraining hand, now that the Board is made of idiots who passed the bar after 2001 it acts like a Methhead on a stolen D6
2) Progressive education, especially the sort you get in liberal colleges, teaches that the noblest position is to be a fellow traveler -- and that it is far safer and the law probably will ignore progressive, high status knowledge workers who act in favor of the revolutionaries.
3) The other members of the Club's opinions are far more important than dirty little things like laws.
Attorneys and judges MAKE THE LAW SERVE THEM, after all, and part of that is easing their way into the society of professionals

True, but 25% of all food allergies are ADULT onset...and those tend to be related to the onset of auto-immune conditions in the adults of some type or another and/or a leaky gut type syndrome.
So, we can fix most kid allergies, but adult ones are much more tricky. It's hard convincing the human body's immune system that something it identified as an enemy is really a friend once you've hit adulthood.

Not so, we have always maintained since Washington that a person is addressed by the highest political rank they achieved, even after retiring. It's an honorific, nnot a "title" which has a specific legal meaning and geographical authority. Retired justices are still called justice, retired senators are still called senator, it's always been that way. It only gets funny when you have a president go sit on the Supreme Court

That one wears away though b/c the tick does not continually insert that molecule every intake of meat, so the allergy itself eventually wears off.
For other allergies, since it's directly the intake of the food as the cause of the response, it's gonna be harder.
I mean, I'm sure the 1st will help, but it's not gonna be simple.

This also pisses me off, and not just as to gender dysphoria but to a whole host of other mental disorders like OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism, PTSD, Tourette's, and the like. They went from being identifiable mental disorders that needed treatment or management to being trendy, clout-builders, status symbols, entire identities. Claiming to have these things became a fad, and the health care industry instead of clamping down and saying "no these are real problems and you should play-act at them" just said "OK!" and started exploiting it to make a buck. And it doubly pisses me off because it trivializes REAL incidences of these disorders, which can be really quite awful, and makes people be dismissive of real cases. A pox upon all their crotches.

There is some research going along the idea that it is "leaky gut" that allows gut contents to migrate into the gut wall and the blood stream, causing inflammation and other issues. There are a number of things that can cause it, some are Arsenic compounds, but there are also claims that DDT and Glyphosates may do the same sort of thing. It would be a secondary order thing, instead of a "poison by multiple sources ingested separately" so it is harder to pin down.
Whatever you think about it, it is part of the Carnivore diet that some people seem to be having luck with in reducing their inflammation.

There has been a lot of research done on glyphosate, and the studies indicate that it is very safe.
There are so many other variables that it is difficult to show causation, much less correlation with glyphosate and human disease.

This is actually much worse for doctors than saying "must" wait. That means it is a judgement call, and that's where you can be sued...because someone is unhappy with the result and questions your judgement. If the guidance says "no surgery until age 19" you're golden (assuming you don't do the surgery on someone under 19).
Of course, that means activists can pressure individual doctors, instead of the AMA...

huh.... that would be a pretty wild premise for a little exploratory fiction exercise. Imagine a world where an implant became commercially available that made you fluent in every language on Earth. And we can all communicate as we please, except for those who can't have or don't want the implant.
Would The Implanted become paralyzed by choice like some linguistic Buridan's Ass, and simply give up even trying to communicate verbally altogether? Would the rules of communication smoosh out so aggressively through hyperaccellerated language change that the very act of verbal communication becomes meaningless to them? They know all the words and none of the words mean a thing anymore?

They've always bounced between art preservation and straight commerce.
The Rock and Armageddon aren't in the collection because of their artistic merits.
But they went off the rails a few years ago for DEI reasons and actually have come back in some solid ways. They're bringing back the Eclipse series, for one, on Blu-ray. Those minor Lubitsch musicals won't sell many copies, but it's good to have them in HD.
And then they're the only label who can sell Killers of the Flower Moon, which seems to sit on the border between the two mindsets.

That's how niche the resolution advancement has become. 4K is the end of it.
I did know. I think good HDR (e.g. an LG OLED) plus 4K is about as good as you can ever need. The wider color gamut is yuuuuuge for all kinds of things.

When Norman Borlaug and others figured out how to hybrid use wheat such that it could be grown easily in places where people were starving, SOMETHING happened to fundamentally change the gluten molecule.
Only 3 grains - wheat, barley, and rye - cause that kind of reaction in people who are all of a sudden sensitive to it. But wheat is the main culprit.

There are some cinematographers who hate HDR.

Because oats ONLY get it tangentially - grown in an adjoining field, say.
The true gluten sensitivities are only in the grains which have 1 leaf per node, as opposed to 2 leaves per node.
And there are only 4 grains known which have that structure in nature.

Nah, progs do, and progs control medical credentialing.
Speaking of death cults and kids, this is why it has been retarded to spaz out nonstop about abortion in contexts where it costs votes. Fuck em, and fuck their kids. Worry about our own kids - who now are being brainwashed and groomed by the millions in places where progs have snaked into control. Ban abortion after you actually have secured power and stop letting hyperventilating evangelicals drive strategy based on feels.
