Imagine having to live with so much internalized homophobia.

As I've explained elsewhere, Trans so-called "science" is famously, FAMOUSLY, politicized, biased, whitewashed.

So, what I'm reading is that you reject modern statistical science, and instead think we should rely on cherry-picked anecdotal science. I see...you're a moron then? Well, that's cleared up then.

Update: So, it looks like prior to the Dominion lawsuit, FOX hired the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz (fyi, one of the largest law firms and THE most profitable one in America) to investigate Tucker Carlson, his show, and his staff. Looks like it was WLRK's reporting that prompted Carlson's firing. So much for everyone's conspiracy theories.

New Study Shows Transgender People Who Receive Gender-Affirming Surgery Are Significantly Less Likely To Experience Psychological Distress Or Suicidal Ideation

The study, titled “Association Between Gender-Affirming Surgeries and Mental Health Outcomes,” compared the psychological distress, substance use, and suicide risk of 3,559 transgender people who had undergone gender-affirming surgery with those of 16,401 transgender people who desired gender-affirming surgery but had not yet undergone any. It found that transgender people who had received one or more gender-affirming surgical procedures had a 42% reduction in the odds of experiencing past-month psychological distress, a 35% reduction in the odds of past-year tobacco smoking, and a 44% reduction in the odds of past-year suicidal ideation.

That's the same defense Facebook used to defend their "fact checkers".

It's also the same defense used by FOX News and Tucker Carlson.

@blablarg18 said in Detransitioner speaks:

In the real world: Trans suicide rates either stay equal, OR GO UP, post-surgery.
Also known as widespread & extreme regret.

Where's your statistics on that? Or do you think, just because it agrees with your philosophy, that it must be true?

@raphjd Oh, you caught me again trying to push my secret pro-rapist agenda. Clever, boy! </sarcasm>

The gist of your statements here, as well as the multitude of other posts within this Forum, is "Trans people rape and molest." That statement is as prejudiced as the statement, "Black people steal."

You're ascribing the actions of singular individuals to an entire group of people that share some common trait with the individual, with no causal argument linking that common trait with the actions of the individual. You don't even think you need a causal argument, because you're a transphobe who thinks all trans people are deviants. You think its just "common sense" or a priori true that transexualism causes rape/molestation tendencies.

You assume that causal connection and that's why we all call you and your sock puppets on here who agree with you in your little echo chamber here, transphobes.

How common is transgender treatment regret, detransitioning?

HOW OFTEN DO TRANSGENDER PEOPLE REGRET TRANSITIONING?

In updated treatment guidelines issued last year, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health said evidence of later regret is scant, but that patients should be told about the possibility during psychological counseling.

Dutch research from several years ago found no evidence of regret in transgender adults who had comprehensive psychological evaluations in childhood before undergoing puberty blockers and hormone treatment.

Some studies suggest that rates of regret have declined over the years as patient selection and treatment methods have improved. In a review of 27 studies involving almost 8,000 teens and adults who had transgender surgeries, mostly in Europe, the U.S and Canada, 1% on average expressed regret. For some, regret was temporary, but a small number went on to have detransitioning or reversal surgeries, the 2021 review said.

Research suggests that comprehensive psychological counseling before starting treatment, along with family support, can reduce chances for regret and detransitioning.

@raphjd

I see you're using the same science scientists used when they noted that Dahmer and Gacy existed and therefore, determined that all white males are serial killer cannibals. That logic holds.

For being the folks supposedly devoted to "individual responsibility," you right-wingers sure do love to group blame.

@raphjd said in Tucker Carlson is terminated from FOX News:

A couple of reports I read said that News Corps/Fox News would pay out his remaining contract; $20 mill per year remaining.
That's according to "a source inside Fox News".
That doesn't sound like he's been fired.

That's the beauty of a well-crafted employment contract. Even if you're fired, they still have to pay you until the time period terms are up.

Think of it like an apartment lease. If you move out before your lease is up, you're still obligated to pay rent even if you aren't living there anymore.

The pharma thing is just Robert Kennedy Jr. nonsense. I also don't believe the Tucker-loves-God-too-much story or the Murdock-kids-want-to-sell stories because if those were the truth, then it would have just been Tucker Carlson alone that was fired. But I understood the facts to be that Carlson and his producer(s) were fired. No need to fire the staff if Carlson alone was the problem.

The suit by the previous show booker isn't merely a hostile work environment sexual harassment suit. She's also alleging that Carlson and his producers suborned perjury by encouraging/threatening her to lie during discovery in the Dominion lawsuit. And she did, in fact, have to amend her depositions in that suit.

Plus, the discovery in the Dominion suit brought forth a lot of Carlson's behind-the-scenes shenanigans that didn't win him any favors with the network, e.g., he regularly called one of the senior executives at FOX a "cunt."

@lololulu19 said in Tucker Carlson is terminated from FOX News:

Tucker Carlson was NOT fired from FoxNews. Instead, they mutually agreed to part ways

What is your source for this belief? All sources I've seen report that Carlson didn't even know about the termination until 10 minutes before it happened, and that he's hired the same lawyer/firm as Don Lemon to represent him regarding the firing.

@blablarg18 said in Tucker Carlson is terminated from FOX News:

PS. @hubrys far from Tucker being dead, he's just getting started. another Obi Wan situation, like Trump. HAHAHAHhahahhahaha!

I'm sure he's not gone. Already several state-run Russian media outlets have already offered him jobs on their networks via Twitter and Telegram. I guess he can now cut out the middleman and go work for Russia directly instead of just surreptitiously.

If he threatens to kill a few more people, then he might earn the Georgia GOP's nomination for Senate.

Ding dong! The bitch is dead! Which old bitch? This dumb bitch!

I wonder if it was him costing them hundreds of millions of dollars in the Dominion Settlement? Or maybe the fact that FOX is being sued by a former female employee for the hostile work environment sexual harassment on Carlson's show?

I mean, I hope that it was because he's a vile racist, homophobic, xenophobic, and sexist in love with Christian White Nationalism, but it's FOX News. If they fired every bigot working there, then they'd just be left with the lunch ladies in the work cafeteria.

@blablarg18 said in Fox News Settles Defamation Suit for $787.5 Million:

I don't know what stupid Fox may be covering up (by settling - avoids discovery process).

They settled on the eve of the trial. Discovery is and was completed prior to trial. They went thru discovery. Maybe you missed all of the bombshells that came out of the discovery because they didn't penetrate into your conservative news bubble, but the rest of the world now knows a whole lot about how cynically FOX lied to its viewers. That's including your beloved Tucker Carlson, who knowingly lied to his audience and also privately dissed Trump.

Supposedly she has polycystic ovary syndrome which caused her rapid weight gain, which would make some portion of her size due to an actual medical condition/disability.
