  • They weren’t lying. You’re spreading misinformation that’s killing children, which is bad. And continually refuse to engage with anything other than your preconceived opinions when literally everyone is disagreeing with you, which is small-minded.

    Also, I’ll point out, you’re playing the victim here. While perpetuating rhetoric that’s literally killing children. A bit DARVO, imo. Definitely not good faith arguments. Can’t blame anyone for not wanting to engage with you.




  • Hormones absolutely affect more than cosmetic things.

    I started hormone replacement therapy 2 months ago. I spent four decades before that wanting to commit suicide.

    I still mostly look like a man and my mental health has vastly improved. I’m less defensive less reactionary more open. I get a long better with everybody in my life.

    Including myself.

    Being congruent with your gender both chemically and socially helps people feel more joy happiness and self-acceptance.

    That is not cosmetic and you have no idea what you’re talking about.

    Like I said in an earlier comment you’re not a doctor. And you cite doctors that aren’t specialists in the field who have an agenda.

    Seriously mind your own business and let parents and doctors that actually understand this stuff take care of kids that need life-saving treatment.

    And while you’re at it maybe look up the study that was just done about how suicide rates in trans youth are 70% higher states deny health care to trans youth.

    In other words educate yourself before having an opinion about something you know nothing about.















  • I hope it pans out for machine learning.

    I kept a dream journal every night for over a year. Meditated extensively during that time. And rarely looked at a screen. Prison gives you a lot of free time.

    I’ve also explored the closes eye visual space in drug induced lucid states extensively.

    This time article aligns with my understanding of Busdhisms Six consciousness model.

    In Western language, we would call the eye consciousness the visual cortex. When our eyes are closed, and we’re in a relaxed state, we can see muscle memory practicing. Dreams. Visions if in an awake lucid state.

    The visual cortex stays active when our eyes are closed. Otherwise it only takes an hour for other senses to start recruiting those neurons.

    My dreams tend to be emotionally charged. So, dreams are, in my experience, a combination of the visual cortex doing busy work and unresolved emotional stuff if it’s there, or fun joyful stuff, if I’m feeling joy.

    I don’t know that it has a ‘purpose’ other than busy work and keeping the cortex wired together. It can be put to purpose, such as dream journaling and deeper self awareness.
