In the post-Karl Popper academic landscape, it's hard to beat the absurdity to explanatory-power ratio of Sigmund Freud's "penis envy", but Ray Blanchard's ravings about trans people are certainly a contender. The "science experiments" he ran to "support" his "theories" aren't quite Philip Zimbardo levels of unethical quackery, but I'm still not sure how attaching electrodes to people's genitals and making them watch…

I am taking security very seriously. All sensitive rows are protected by RLS, and I have gone even further by adding random noise to all location data. Locations are locked down, but in the unfortunate event of a hack what would be leaked is location within a 5 or so mile range, not exact location. If it is possible on Supabase I would like to eventually obscure emails and oauth info.

Any argument against zodiac (birth) signs would apply equally well here. In fact, zodiac signs survive criticism better , because at least they have well-defined boundary conditions. What kind of "fetishistic transvestism" do I have if I'm a sex-repulsed aromantic trans woman?

> the excruciating process of transition
I have only ever seen people describe transition with words like "excruciating" for two reasons:
• Social barriers, e.g. medical gatekeeping, transphobic bigotry.
• Believing in the Blanchard or 4chan classification systems, and constantly judging themselves accordingly.
Please don't hold onto this so tight. It's not healthy, and there's zero evidence that it's even remotely true.

Okay posting this is really reminding me to prioritize a smart nsfw toggle. My guess is that if you just scrolled twitter or whatever by new exclusively unfiltered you wouldn’t have that different an experience.
I dont think this is true at all.
