So far, Bearman says, he can account for just more than 50% of the observed increase (see 'Reasons: unclear'). Around 25% of the rise in autism over the past two decades can be attributed to what he calls "diagnostic accretion". He could see from the medical records that some children who would have been diagnosed as mentally retarded a decade ago are now given a diagnosis of both mental retardation and autism11. Another 15% can be accounted for by the growing awareness of autism — more parents and paediatricians know about it12
The fact that he still cannot explain 46% of the increase in autism doesn't mean that this 'extra' must be caused by new environmental pollutants, Bearman says. He just hasn't come up with a solid explanation yet. "There are lots of things that could be driving that in addition to the things we've identified," he says.
But many researchers now say that at least part of the rise in autism is real and caused by something in the environment. Rather than quibbling over recounts they are focusing on finding the causes.

Many trans people are fine just getting on with their lives and aren't asking for anyone to treat them in a certain way or whatever. I definitely notice this whole thing where people have this idea that all trans people are demanding others treat them in a certain way, it's just not true.
Many people see a trans person then get all "Oh so you want me to call you a woman, huh bud? You were born a man so don't you dare demand of me, etc, etc..." meanwhile the trans person has said ---literally nothing--- or demanded anything.
How many of you have actually talked to a trans person? A lot of them are very reasonable people, and are nothing like how people tend to view them.
Don't paint em' all with the same brush, that's all I'm saying

I see two pieces which may, or may not, fit together the way I see them.
One is an apparent increase in the number of neuro atypical children. One guy theorizes that is related to the use of glyphosphate. I don't know if he is on to something, or not, but I do know that glyphosphate affects our gut bacteria and that our gut bacteria seem to have an influence on our neurology.

The second piece is what seems to be a definite correlation between autism or sensory processing disorders and gender dysphoria.

The paper this was based on was retracted by their editorial board. The claim the retraction was generally for "insufficient evidence". Maybe. But I wonder if it wasn't such a touchy area if the paper would have received the same amount of scrutiny.

The first time I ran across this silliness was several years ago on a calorie tracking website. Some woman was in their public forums demanding that they change the software to allow her to identify as a man, but still get the calorie burn numbers for a woman. It was a software bug to her. It needed to be fixed! No amount of explanation could convince her otherwise. The world had to change to accommodate her! Simply selecting her sex as the one in which she was born was not an option for her.
This must have been 6 or 7 years ago. I LOL'ed at the ridiculousness of it at the time because I had no idea how quickly society was going to capitulate to these sorts of silly demands.

science and research and surgery and sex always belongs in the space of commodity. the winners are the free riders- i just have to play along and tell my kids all this shiit is crazy and they also have to play along.

I think just having culturally enforced monogamy and having ppl crack down on adultery and slooting apps would go a long way toward stabilizing families, improving sexual equality, and making ppl feel like they lead fulfilling lives.

[QUOTE=redraider86;1613142881
Tell that to the girls who gave up on competing in women's sports in Connecticut. It takes no more than one jerkoff to eventually get special treatment because of their feelings. There is a reason that fetishes like AGP weren't touched by any presenter - because you're right, that's not every trans person, and it's mostly irrelevant to a discussions around sex. Yes, it must suck to be a gender dysphoric adult who is being "lumped in" with a bunch of selfish jerks. Not my problem, and my conscience is clear knowing that I'm not the one doing the lumping. The end result is the same.
[/QUOTE]
See it's really an issue with those governing the sport.
A person is allowed to make a request -
#1. "Hey I'm a biological man, but I wanna compete in this sport against the women because I live as a woman"
Or
#2. "Hey I wanna get a 10 meter head start in this sprint because my ankle is a little sore today."
Now imagine #2. got their request granted... would it be the fault of #2 for making the request, or the fault of the official for granting the request?
It's a competency issue with the officials that govern the sport. Obviously neither request should be granted.
And yeah, not all trans people are gender dysphoric... many of them fully acknowledge exactly what they are, which is a biological man living as a woman, and have no illusions, and have no problem saying that. Some trans people really don't give a fuk about having to use the mens restrooms, in fact they wouldn't have it any other way, because they wouldn't want to upset women.
The problem is competent rulers/officals/government... not those making requests. A person is allowed to wish, they're allowed to make requests... Law makers/rule makers/those in powerful positions in government are the ones that need to be competent.
I think the ladyboy's in Thailand have the right idea... they acknowledge they are not biological women, but it's clear that they're not living life as a man would typically live life... and so the term "ladyboy" comes up.
I don't know why some trans people aren't ok with the 3rd option "trans woman", to claim to be a woman would be a rejection/denial of what they are, and that be to assume that what they are is ugly and not worthy of being their own thing. I would say such trans people need to embrace what they are, and that label is a "trans woman"(or "lady boy" in Thai culture, which they embrace happily). I don't see anything wrong with that.
As for how others should treat a "ladyboy" or "transwoman" or whatever the fuk label... They can call them whatever they want. It would be polite to treat them as they'd like to be treated.
If I had a buddy named John that wanted to be called Sarah... I'd just call my buddy Sarah from now on, as it would be the polite thing to do, would make another person happy, and literally makes no difference to me. If I were to continue referring to by buddy as John, it would be disrespectful. Sure it would be my right to call him fukface if I wanted to, I could say "You can't demand anything from me, I have free speech!", I could make a whole scene about it. Or I could just call my buddy Sarah.
In the same way, calling a trans person by a title opposite of what they'd like to be referred to as would be disrespectful. However, I don't believe any law should ever demand anyone call anyone by a certain title.
Imagine someone were to call your grandma "bitch face", and they tried to argue it would their right/have to free speech to do so. Would just be a **** move.
Tell that to the girls who gave up on competing in women's sports in Connecticut. It takes no more than one jerkoff to eventually get special treatment because of their feelings. There is a reason that fetishes like AGP weren't touched by any presenter - because you're right, that's not every trans person, and it's mostly irrelevant to a discussions around sex. Yes, it must suck to be a gender dysphoric adult who is being "lumped in" with a bunch of selfish jerks. Not my problem, and my conscience is clear knowing that I'm not the one doing the lumping. The end result is the same.

See it's really an issue with those governing the sport.
A person is allowed to make a request -
#1. "Hey I'm a biological man, but I wanna compete in this sport against the women because I live as a woman"
Or
#2. "Hey I wanna get a 10 meter head start in this sprint because my ankle is a little sore today."
Now imagine #2. got their request granted... would it be the fault of #2 for making the request, or the fault of the official for granting the request?
It's a competency issue with the officials that govern the sport. Obviously neither request should be granted.
And yeah, not all trans people are gender dysphoric... many of them fully acknowledge exactly what they are, which is a biological man living as a woman, and have no illusions, and have no problem saying that. Some trans people really don't give a fuk about having to use the mens restrooms, in fact they wouldn't have it any other way, because they wouldn't want to upset women.
The problem is competent rulers/officals/government... not those making requests. A person is allowed to wish, they're allowed to make requests... Law makers/rule makers/those in powerful positions in government are the ones that need to be competent.
I think the ladyboy's in Thailand have the right idea... they acknowledge they are not biological women, but it's clear that they're not living life as a man would typically live life... and so the term "ladyboy" comes up.
I don't know why some trans people aren't ok with the 3rd option "trans woman", to claim to be a woman would be a rejection/denial of what they are, and that be to assume that what they are is ugly and not worthy of being their own thing. I would say such trans people need to embrace what they are, and that label is a "trans woman"(or "lady boy" in Thai culture, which they embrace happily). I don't see anything wrong with that.

Females are understandably afraid of being enslaved, but traditional marriage, fidelity, and raising a child together is not enslavement. It's the natural order of things. Quite frankly, if men wanted to enslave all the women, it wouldn't be that hard. We're bigger, stronger, and some of us are pretty clever. You have to admit, the war would be over before it started. But there is no such war. There will never be such a thing. Men need women and women need men. Nobody wants to see their mom or sister enslaved. Handmaiden's tale is some feminist hyperbole designed to make you afraid of being a normal woman. Women have always loved to cook, clean, teach, nurture and nurse. They have always excelled at those types of jobs. Women generally aren't very good in STEM or in hard labor jobs. There are exceptions as always, but that's the general truth, and even in countries with basically zero barriers to entry and near perfect equality in opportunity, it still works out that way. I believe in giving people the opportunity to do the best they can, whatever it is. But I don't think telling girls they HAVE to be equal to men and compete with them in areas men dominate at solves anything. All that does is make women angrier and more hostile to men.The Handmaids Tale was written in 1985 not as fluffy fiction, but as a warning. Change my mind.
And scaring them with these nightmare scenarios of evil men enslaving them and raping them just further fuels the growing hatred of men seen in today's culture. Women need us. Men matter even if today's women don't think we do.

I do feel like now women are waking up and fighting back. It’s truly heartening the incredible influx of new younger members, riveting debate and passion that has been ignited in the feminist sect with the dismantling of everything our foremothers fought for.
On a side note, My nana has gifted me the patches and sashes her own nan used when she was campaigning for womens toilets about 110 years ago! Really was one of the most humbling moment in my life, she knows that things are bad again but she is over 80 and is in no fit state to put herself through the proverbial ringer. But I am.
It’s a dark day when we have to campaign for our own toileting facilities, sports, private health/prison accommodation again... but it’s even darker that we have to campaign for the right to exist in our own sex category and the right to acknowledge the oppression of women that has happened historically or is still happening now.
I will campaign for third spaces for anyone who is tormented by their biological sex but women are not human shields or service humans that exist to validate the feelings of men, regardless of how those men identify themselves. Women's spaces and resources must be protected from the clawback by men at all costs.
You cannot just identify in or out of oppression.
You are an inspiring lady Red. You can be much kinder than I can be. We are all gunna make it.
