Transphobes are doing a bizarre victory lap over a review of gender-affirming care in the UK.

The only thing it found is what we already knew:
- Tiny number of kids transition
- Comprehensive assessments before receiving medications
- Vanishingly few detransition

Listened to this last night (late to the podcast party) & kept thinking:

1. Weeeellll in all fairness to Friedman, newspaper writers are supposed to write for a 5th grade level

2. Where was his editor?

& then

3. Where were ALL the editors?!? re: all the books on the podcast

Listening to If Books Could Kill on - wow terfs are about as feminist as that book. Which makes me wonder if there have always been reactionary waving the flag of progress/feminism in order to shamelessly defend the status quo?

Worth listening to this If Books Could Kill on Haidt's previous work, The Coddling of The American Mind — 'a book about campus culture that's light on facts and heavy on cherry-picked anecdotes' — before taking his latest conclusions too seriously.

Episode 27: Lean In

In 2013, Sheryl Sandberg delivered a simple message to women: you are faced with tremendous structural hurdles in the workplace, but if you overcome them, you can get rich by illegally selling user data and so forth.

What are the facts on retail theft, 'organized' or otherwise? We dove into the data -- and don't miss the citation to If Books Could Kill's excellent episode on the subject.
