Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.
“It would be absurd to argue that having more psychiatric appointments 2+ years after *referral to a psychiatrist* was an indicator of issues with mental health.”
Does Gender-Affirming Care Make Mental Health Worse?
The case of a rather poorly-done paper.

Today in The Anti-Trans Braintrust: Why did a survey asking whether people were happy with their transition refuse to ask people who never transitioned?

Just like the “gender critical” braintrust, every few months lab leakers release some HIDDEN DOCUMENTS or WHISTLEBLOWER REPORTS that end up proving the opposite of what their conspiracy theory says
Tulsi Gabbard dumped a pile of docs & claimed they were evidence of a vast plot by Fauci to manipulate intelligence, cover up the lab leak, & conceal his role in creating Covid.
They weren’t.
In reality, Gabbard’s documents undermine her. Here’s what they say…

It's been darkly funny to watch the Anti-Trans Braintrust pretend that these medications work in completely different ways for cis kids than trans kids.

How about you stop hiring original creative voices only to kick them off their own films for making stories that lack "mass appeal." Maybe let women/poc/lgbtq+ people say what they want to say without an old, white Pixar braintrust man looming over them. Oh, and your advertising campaigns SUCK.

Jeremy Peters and other members of the anti-trans braintrust have covered this issue for *years* and are still so poorly informed about the basic empirics and actors on this beat that they see this statement as a shift rather than a reiteration. Think about how disqualifying that is.

This case is a good example: The anti-trans braintrust bent over backwards to "debunk" Nex's death. He didn't die from a transphobic attack you inveterate SJWs, he merely killed himself after a transphobic attack.

Nex Benedict in Oklahoma last year www.npr.org/2024/03/21/1...
Oklahoma prosecutors will not press charges in Nex Benedict case
Benedict, a nonbinary teen, died by suicide after a high school fight. The Tulsa County district attorney says the fight was mutual and there's not enough evidence to press charges.

it's what worries me about domestic conditions in the US, because if these guys in the intellectual braintrust can rationalize foreign action that is idiotic like this, what happens when they go all in at home?
I don’t think we’ll ever invade Canada but the entire right of center pundit class seems to be falling over themselves to pledge fealty to whatever stupid belligerent idea Trump floats. It’s a test and they are going out of their way to fail

The Pixar braintrust needs to go.They bragged about their storytelling innovations and creative freedom in the late 90s-early 2000s but now seem wildly out of touch. They refuse to admit that new people with diverse ideas, people who are NOT THEM, should be taking control of the creative reins.
Pixar’s scrapped film ‘BE FRI’ reportedly had a similar tone to ‘KPop Demon Hunters.’
A former staffer claims Disney felt “little boys couldn’t see themselves in it,” allegedly saying, “We can’t have a girl power movie.”
