Iβd like to share this cooking hack Iβve come up with! This is how I prep tofu for cooking to make it crispy and convenient.
I cut a block of tofu into big squares and boil it in salted water for 5 minutes (this is the traditional Chinese method, Iβve heard). Then I drain it on paper towels and pat it dry. Once the tofu is dry enough, I tear it up into smaller chunks, pack it in to the container, pour in some cornstarch, cover with the lid, and shake it up to coat the pieces. Rest in the fridge until you need it.
The cool thing Iβve discovered is that one of these gelato pints holds exactly half a block of tofu!

Iβm really skeptical of the activist claims that children need βgender affirming careβ or theyβll rope. If thatβs the case then how did the generations of dysphoric people without access to modern transgender medicine cope? Shouldnβt we have historical records of distressed kids taking their own lives?

Personal samples often over-sample those who pass, as non-passers stay less visible. The 62% is self-reported VCAG in a Kaiser insured cohort on HRT, not external ratings. Testosterone produces stronger, harder-to-reverse changes than estrogen after male puberty. Blockers can improve later passing by halting secondary traits, but Cass and other reviews find weak evidence of benefits for dysphoria or mental health, near-total progression to hormones, plus bone density and fertility risksβcentral to the ethical issues around youth consent and irreversibility.

This is interesting because I am a trans woman and this is exactly how I feel about it. Passing is important and for better or worse, you are what you look like.
I personally do not care about the sports debate or whatever.

Also, correction. Apparently the 0.3% figure is outdated, the new estimate is that 0.8% of the population is trans, with that being divided roughly evenly between trans men, trans women, and nonbinary people. Removing the NB, that leaves half a percent of the general population as binary trans people, which further breaks down into a quarter of a percent of MtFs.
Yeahhhh I just donβt see the point in worrying too much. Most males arenβt violent, most violent crime is committed by the same 1% of males. So incarceration and incapacitation of super-predators is the policy that matters the most.

The areas where these male-female differences are really relevant are sports, prisons, medicine, and sexuality, which is why I specifically separated them from the day to day and said that trans women canβt be treated as interchangeable with biological females in every context.

But still, my thing is:
1) Trans people are a tiny percentage of the population, 0.3%, so I think it really doesnβt make much of a difference as long as thereβs no self-ID opening the floodgates for any man to come in the womenβs spaces
2) Iβm pretty sure thereβs also data showing that trans men also have elevated rates of violence relative to the female baseline (@grok please check that) so excluding trans women doesnβt completely spare natal women from trans violence
3) The most practical part, how are you going to enforce this? As I said, passing transsexuals can already access womenβs spaces without anyone batting an eye, so how are you going to keep them out? This to me looks like a case of the cure being worse than the disease, I just donβt think itβs worth enforcing sex tests to protect women from <0.3% of the population

Ashley Jackson, daughter of civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, is embracing a new chapter of her identity after converting to Judaism.
In a new interview with The Jewish Chronicle, Jackson reflects on finding a spiritual home in Judaism, being welcomed into Jewish communities around the world, and navigating life at the intersection of Black and Jewish identity.
She also speaks about the role Black Jews and others with intersecting identities can play as βbridge builders,β creating dialogue and understanding between communities.
βIt seems Iβve gained a whole new global family.β

I know Iβm gonna piss everyone off but I feel like explicitly laying out my opinions about transgender people, identities, and rights. Iβve had a long evolution and Iβve reached a space that I think is most reasonable, yet very underrepresented.

There is no perfect solution here. Unless we want to go full authoritarian and completely ban trans-related treatments, some people will seek to modify their bodies to resemble the opposite sex, as modern science and medicine allows for that and gender/sex dysphoria drives people to do that. And as long as transsexuals exist, as long as medicine allows for secondary sex characteristics to diverge from natal sex, society will be put in those awkward positions when it comes to sex segregation and trans inclusion.

Society already accepts the concept of social role diverging from genetics when it comes to adoptive/step parents, immigrants, and people with dyed hair, so it shouldnβt be hard to accept trans people under the same framework as long as activists concede that trans women are not interchangeable with cΓ¬s women and therefore cannot be treated the same in every single circumstance. Biological sex will definitely be more relevant when it comes to sexuality, pro sports, medicine, and prison, but there might be more.
We accept distinctions like this when it comes to other social categories. An adoptive or step parent can be recognized as a legal guardian with all the same custodial rights, but they are still not the same as a biological parent and therefore cannot fulfill all of the same needs. Thatβs why adoptees often try to track down their biological parents to fill in the missing parts of their identity.
The third (and fourth, and fifth) genders present in certain cultures show that society is capable of separating natal sex from social role while maintaining stability and cohesion, though it bears remembering that they absolutely donβt work the same as the modern Western concept of βgender identityβ.
