i know the original comments were posted 2 years ago but as a transgender person who is closeted in real life, the comments seem to have been posted in bad faith, and i wanted to provide an alternative interpretation.
regarding the previous commenter: 1.) well yeah. most transgender people would have preferred to start their transition early to avoid going through puberty twice, especially considering the first time pushed them further away from a body they’re happy in. 2.) this is a teaser/bonus episode; the main series is still about books. 3.) it’s not ”normalising” anything - it’s just a case of preferred language and/or colloquialism. 4.) this is not a podcast about medicine.
One of the things that terrified me about this election was the realization that *my* political literacy is higher than that of the average voter. I generally don’t watch the news. I don’t watch presidential debates. I don’t really get involved in politics unless it’s something that directly impacts my life. Yet, in speaking to coworkers, it was me who had a better grip on the actual policies being voted on. It was a horrible realization.
hey, you found a Simpson’s paradox in the wild vis a vis the income vs propensity to vote for Trump data neato

As a Gen Z, I can say I disagree with a lot
I enjoyed. I did feel something was slightly overlooked in the small correlations observed between sports and less depression: economic status plays a role in recreational opportunities for kids, and better economic status often is correlated with lower rates of depression.
I got a law degree from Peter Law Lawboy School of Justice!
