    I just blocked a few transphobes. It feels good.

        I used to argue or debate with them, but it's like trying to explain molecular physics to a homeopath.

        Homeopaths don't usually accuse you of being a rapist for trying to explain reality to them, though.

        That's about all you can do with them although it's quite fun to say, 'what about fa'afafine?' because they have no idea what you're talking about.

        Gorski do you have a soccer team? If not then can you support Barnsley?

        Thanks for being vocal about trans rights. It means a lot when it comes from someone with such a wide reach.

        Thank you so much, Dr. Gorski! 💕 It's been a disappointment to find some skeptics I followed be on the good side of most things, but trans topics come up and all of a sudden, "nah, I think the evangelicals must be right THIS time".

        Or they defer to that gawd-awful Littman study, which literally took parents from the three most trans-kid-hostile websites and asked them whether it seemed like their kid telling them "came out of the blue". That's it. That's the methodology. Even Wakefield put in more effort.
