terfs when a study shows literally anything positive about trans people/transitioning: 'hm i think this requires some fact-checking. Were those researchers REALLY unbiased? Because if they were biased this doesn't count and if they weren't knowingly biased they probably were unconsciously biased, woke media affects so much these days. Have there been any other studies on this? Because if there haven't been this could be an outlier and if there have been and they all agree that's a bit odd, why aren't there any outliers, and if there have been and any disagree we really won't know the truth until we very thoroughly analyze them all, will we? Were there enough subjects for a good sample size? Did every single subject involved stay involved through the whole study because if they didn't we should be sure nothing shady was going on resulting in people dropping out. Are we 110% sure all the subjects were fully honest and at no point were embarrassed or afraid to admit they didn't love transitioning to the people in charge of their transition? Are we 110% sure none of the subjects were manipulated into thinking they were happy with their transition? In fact we should double-check what they think with their parents, because if the subjects and their parents disagree it's probably because they've been manipulated but their cis parents have not and are very unbiased. How many autistic subjects were there because if there weren't enough then this doesn't really study the overlap between autistic and trans and if there were too many then we just don't know enough about what causes that overlap to be sure this study really explains being trans and isn't just about being autistic. How many AFAB subjects were there because if there weren't enough this is just another example of prioritizing AMAB people and ignoring the different struggles of girls and women and if there were too many how do we know sexism didn't affect the results. Was the study double-blinded? We all know double-blinded is the most reliable so if this one wasn't that's a point against it even if the thesis literally physically could not be double-blinded. Look i'm not being transphobic, i want what's best for trans people! Really! But as a person who is not trans and therefore objective in a way they cannot possibly be, i just think we should only take into account Good Science here. You want to be following science and not being manipulated or experimented upon by something unscientific, right?'
terfs when they see a study of 45 subjects so old it predates modern criteria for gender dysphoria and basically uses 'idk her parents think she's too butch', run by a guy who practiced conversion therapy, 'confirmed' by a guy who treated the significant portion of subjects who didn't follow up as all desisting, definitely in the category of 'physically cannot double-blind this', completely contradicted by multiple other studies done on actual transgender subjects, but can be kinda cited as evidence against transitioning if you ignore everything else about it: 'oOOH SEE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TALKIN BOUT. SCIENCE. Just good ol' unbiased thorough analysis. I see absolutely no reason to dig any deeper on this and if you think it's wrong you're the one being unscientific. It's really a shame you've been so thoroughly brainwashed by the trans agenda and can't even accept science when you see it. Maybe now that someone has finally uncovered this long-lost study from 1985, we can make some actual progress on the whole trans problem.'

I was tagged by @accal1a THANKS FOR THE TAG!!
Rules: You can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first 10 songs, and then tag 10 people. <- I’m not doing that. I am a weenie and too scared to tag people.
So the last playlist I used was this one.
HOWEVER. I rarely ever use my playlists. I’m more of a turn on a song and then shuffle my entire liked songs list. And I feel like that’s a better representation of my music taste so I’m including that too. I KNOW THAT WASN’T THE TASK. I’M SORRY. IT’S PART OF MY CHAOS THO.
However however. I’m sleep deprived and in the mood to over explain myself. Lately all I do is turn on an album by someone and put that album on repeat until I’m done with it for the time being. So. For the last two days all I’ve listened to is the album Magic Man by Jackson Wang on repeat bcs it itches my brain just right.

Hey I just read the new chapter and left a comment but I wanted to swing by and thank you personally. Once again you did a phenomenal job on the new chapter and I am overwhelmed with so many feelings after reading it. As you know I have been dying to see how Ice is taking everything and what his side of the story is and as always you never disappoint. I am practically frothing at the mouth to read his reaction to what Cain did to Maverick. I will wait as long as you need whether the new chapter comes out next month or next year you’ve got a devoted fan right here.
I also came to ask about the comment in your notes. This one “mav oscillates between calling ice iceman and ice while ice sticks to calling him mav. this is intentional.” Would you mind explaining that in a little more depth whenever you are free? I did notice this this but not sure I understand. Thanks again and I hope you are well.
awwww thank you this is such a lovely comment!!! as I’ve told.... multiple people this chapter is uh. The one I hated the Most so I’m glad people liked it lmfjdjd (usually ice’s pov is Good to me idk why he was giving me so much trouble this time round!! fuck You Ice)
also absolutely I can explain it. yesterday I skimped on explaining it in the notes because I was posting that after work and I was exhausted to hell and back lol. basically if you go back and look at the parts where mav switches from calling ice iceman back to ice, it’s usually after mav has this realisation that ice is caring for him. in the moments he feels closer to ice, he calls him ice. and when the moments disappear, when he feels the need to put some emotional distance between himself and ice, he switches back to calling him iceman.
now this is in contrast to ice. in his pov he keeps calling mav, well, mav. that’s because he doesn’t feel any of the need to put a bit of that distance between himself and mav. each of his decisions purposely and intentionally puts him closer to mav and he’s well aware of that because he wants to be closer. he doesn’t need any of that distance and so in his head he doesn’t need to assign that distance to mav. so he doesn’t name-switch like mav constantly does.
apologies this sorta became long but the issue of identities and the importance of callsigns has always been so interesting to me! so here’s the explanation lmao clearly I put way too much thought into this than needed
