    Almost like time and time again corporations have shown that if you do not explicitly force them to safely dispose of hazardous waste they will simply dump it in public waterways where it will eventually seep into the soil and even if it doesn’t it will persist for potentially thousands of years

    Why is lemmy full of insufferable lefties. You could be left wing and end up becoming right. Simply because of the insufferable people you meet here: don’t fit into there rules your gone, your trolled

  • I’m using hyperbole obviously because you’re still obviously baiting. Either way point still stands if someone being mean to you on the internet means that you went from “supporting human rights” to “no longer supports human rights” then you probably never really did.

    Like if you are being serious take a step back and realize that your argument boils down to “internet moderators were mean to me so I embraced homophobic, racist, sexist, ableist, etc rhetoric”. At least own that you just always wanted to call someone a slur deep down and were waiting for an excuse

    At one point to save money and time I just got a carbonation cap and a c02 tank from a homebrew shop. It was like $100 but I drank so much that it paid for itself in a few months

    What did "Tylenol" do to make Trump so angry at it?

    Jump

  • There’s just a tenuous connection that is debated in the research which is enough for them to latch on to. Tylenol didn’t do anything other than be the subject of a bunch of studies that showed a correlation with autism when used by pregnant moms. but to be clear also a bunch of studies that showed the opposite - no correlation, thus the debate, and why no one else is jumping on this recommendation. The evidence simply isn’t there. At best more exploration is needed

  • You don’t have to answer for them but you can acknowledge that their position is dangerous from a human rights perspective even if it is not personally your position. Crazy how that works

    You’ve done nothing but be dishonest and pose no argument. You instead keep positing on what I should be doing instead of posing any actual position of your own.

    To that end I gave you the benefit of the doubt and reread the thread, exactly this pattern. Nothing of substance from you. Just condescension and no actual content. Except for the removed post where you enter the thread of course.

    Then I visit the mod log to remember what kicked all this off and see you have several transphobic posts: banned from 196 for a meme that implies queer people are groomers, straight up saying that trans women are men, “transgenderism”, etc. so you’re just a real piece of shit, huh? Like at least be genuine and say “I fuckin hate trans people”. Don’t do this coy bullshit like a scared little baby. Own your position you fucking coward. Don’t dance around it and drop little slurs and insults to test the waters. You won’t though because you know you’re a scumbag for it.

    I finally did find the original post and now remember your point - women losing will have discomfort. So fair point. You don’t deserve this, but whatever. The philosophical debate is whose discomfort is more important? Thus bringing up the maga shit. If there are people, who are currently holding a great deal of political power and who also have already enacted anti transgender legislation starting literally on day 1, that poses an existential threat. This tips the scales then. Their discomfort is essentially equal assuming they have all put similar effort into their sport (we can’t do case by case for such a broad decision, obviously) so the moderating factor is the existential threat to their existence.

    You can deny this by calling it a slippery slope fallacy but again: this is documented as a strategy. It is not a transgender persons anxiety saying “what if?!”. It is prominent maga influencers and strategists saying literally that attacking the sports issue is the first step towards attacking more.

    In closing - go fuck yourself.

  • It’s not a fallacy if the opponent straight up states it as a goal

    Complete nonsense why?

    As life goes on you’ll probably learn to be even more of a condescending prick who attacks other people’s arguments without giving any substance of your own. This makes sense because as bits and pieces start to eke out the more it becomes clear that you probably just a crybaby who is super mad that they had to use pronouns and start calling “steve” “luna”. The horror!

  • First I will say my position is fairly clear to anyone with a brain: attacking trans participation in sports is clearly a move to begin attacking more trans rights with the intent to “eradicate transgenderism”. This has been explicitly said by prominent figures in the maga movement. Ergo they should play on principal as this makes it a human rights issue. Debate didnt have to go to this avenue but the maga chuds pushed it here. And apparently you need everything explicitly stated so i hope this is crystal fucking clear enough for you.

    On that note outside of that issue you are looking to make a complex topic reductive, yes. You want to take that entire nuanced take I just gave you and turn it into a Fox News bullshit wedge issue: “should trans people play in sports”. It should not be this way. It should probably have more nuanced and be discussed within communities with some kind of arbitrator for disputes if things feel unfair or if discrimination seems to be occurring. But we’ve seen how people respond when discrimination is corrected for: they take over the government and erase references to slavery.

    You are the same as the people who reduce down gun rights to “guns or no guns” and abortion to “abortion or no abortion” to push people to extreme positions when 99% of the time it won’t ever impact them or anyone they know (except for the gun one)

  • There are many prescription versions of supplements but they’re often rarely prescribed because of cost unless there is a specific need. Prescription meds are actually regulated though (supplements are not regulated in any way) so they are superior, albeit far more costly. But because supplements are unregulated there is no way to be sure the advertised dosage is correct, or the advertised compound is even present (though some manufacturers do independent testing tbf)

    Take vitamin d for example. Most Americans (and most people in the world, tbh) are deficient. But your doctor will likely tell you to just get vitamin d supplements even though prescription cholecalciferol exists. That is typically only used for serious deficiencies, like if you need 50,000iu weekly. But it is manufactured in more traditional dosages like 1-2000iu for daily use.

    But in America for a great deal of people who are either uninsured, underinsured, or even with decent insurance cholecalciferol will almost always be significantly more expensive than simply buying a supplement vitamin d3, so the supplement is recommended. And this is one of the cheapest possible examples. Deplin vs levomefolic acid for example is much more dramatic of a price difference

  • Don’t order me around. Maybe face the fact that you are bedfellows with fascist garbage that are using this wedge issue as a foot in the door to completely eradicate what they call “trans ideology” (a fucked up term).

    I do have to say that because the issue is overly nuanced and you appear to want to dumb it down to a single issue. Thus: muddier. Hrt for 1-2+ years significantly lowers muscle mass and upper and lower body strength. Hemoglobin is lowered and stamina is impacted. Many of the competitive advantages are neutralized, but not all. Depending on the sport essentially all are. Wingspan and hand size do not change (unless transition started very early, which is another issue that right wing assholes try to block, but that’s a whole separate thing). So what sport? Rowing? More debatable. Golf? Less debatable. Transition started very early, like 7-8 years old? Less debatable.

    See? Muddy, nuanced. But again, this has been discussed to death but you morons dont listen and keep just focusing on its not fair because biology even though your understanding of biology apparently ended in 8th grade with a c- in the class

  • Again, I think Tylenol is ultimately safe but I think it’s silly to hand wave entire well constructed papers based on the nothing you’ve presented (other than appeal to authority, which is meaningless, because this is an anonymous forum. I can literally say that I’m osterholm and you should listen to me (I’m not though)).

    The debate is there, you’re clearly on the dissent side. Great, but at least substantiate your views

  • Your rhetoric matches that of notable asshole Riley Gaines who competed and tied against Lia Thompson at UPenn then went on to become a maga darling on this issue specifically and eventually just on trans hatred. The linked article is about her rhetoric and how she believes trans sports is the wedge issue to remove trans rights altogether by progressively erasing more and more. They won’t stop here.

    Otherwise the trans issue has been debated to death but essentially if someone has been on hrt for a significant period of time the picture is far muddier than what you portray.

  • This is bad reasoning. For one the mt Sinai meta is not poorly structured. For two there’s not exactly an “overwhelming number” of contrary studies. For three there’s a number of studies besides the mt Sinai study. You dismiss the meta on lack of merit without actually examining it and place it against fantastical papers (that may or may not exist, and as mentioned the quantity of which is being exaggerated)

    In addition to the mt Sinai paper 2 other similar papers came out in 2025 (one from Harvard, one from environmental health) showing a link. There’s also the danish birth study which showed a link between Tylenol and a specific presentation of autism (hyperkinetic symptoms, closer to adhd).

    Papers to the contrary aren’t necessarily “overwhelming” either, there’s 3-4 metas recently that show no causal link and the big one is the Swedish birth study I referenced in the initial post. But that’s countered by the above metas and the danish birth study.

    Therein lies the issue and why it’s a point of debate. RFK is wrong to do what he is doing because the data is not strong enough to make the bold claim that he is making. He is a charlatan and likely scamming somehow (perhaps to sell folinic acid, which also has spurious data for efficacy). However, on the same point to reject the potential of Tylenols impact entirely because RFK is interested in it as a potential causal factor is equally foolish. It could be a factor. We don’t know yet. It needs more exploration. This could increase funding to explore it potentially (which could be a total waste of time).

    IMO you should probably listen to the mt Sinai paper, which recommends that you take Tylenol if necessary during pregnancy as “untreated maternal fever and pain pose risks such as neural tube defects and preterm birth” and ultimately recommends a balanced approach limiting Tylenol exposure, eg try not to take tons of it

  • Separate but equal, total neolib move that’s super classy. “Your discomfort is tolerable because I don’t have to deal with it”

    Also this is not the only example of dems throwing trans under the bus. The far more egregious example is newsom going on right winger podcasts and giving validity to the utter bullshit of the cass review and the idea that you shouldn’t be allowed to transition until your mid 20s (plus all the sports bullshit). Backing legislature that is anti trans too. not just sports stuff, though there is a lot of that. The NDAA banning trans care for any military children was voted in by several democrats and some states did the same for Medicaid with dem support. Texas’s bathroom bill had some dem support. Memorializing Charlie Kirk, a total shithead who was openly and vehemently anti trans. Etc

    No spine, no moral code. End result is a minority class that has constant existential anxiety because one side actively wants to destroy them and the other is like “supporting you is like a whole thing, I’m just in this for the donor money”

  • I know youre just speaking for example but just so anyone reading knows if a baby is that small please call a doctor as you should not be treating them with otc meds. Fever or significant discomfort in the first two months is potentially a real big deal and should always be evaluated by a physician
