And I think Hilary Cass ate lead paint chips as a child. See? I can make assertions without one bit of evidence, too!
I hope for the day when Hilary Cass is recognised for having the scientific credibility of Andrew Wakefield and Antonio Egas Moniz.
Reminder for all who need it: This is the same woman who rejects all data demonstrating the benefits of supportive care for trans folks because there are no randomized, double-blind trials. I would love to see her randomized, double-blind trial that proves this load of horseshit. Pretty damned selective in your criticism, there, Dr. Cass.
The fact they went with her for an ‘unbiased’ perspective pisses me off. What other reports do they specifically exclude actual experts who have worked in the field being reported on from because of ‘bias’? They aren’t concerned about bias at all, in fact they wanted someone who was biased AGAINST trans care, which professionals who work with trans people and know we’re not some weird ‘other’, but actual people, would be unlikely to do. Ghouls the lot of them.
Darts?
Well, you see, biological males can hold their liquor much better than biological females, giving them a distinct advantage in a bar sport like darts. /s
That reminded me of this.
About halfway through that video, I noticed that when the one “competitor” was drinking, the other was in the background casually throwing actual darts.
Huh, Target actually thinks Jim Bob is their demographic

That was what televised darts competitions were like in the UK in the 1970-90s, except without the commentary on the players drinking.
I was going to poke fun at this, but in country where televised golf is a big thing, I got nothing.
Televised golf is great! (for napping on a Sunday afternoon). It’s very polite of the announcers to whisper and the spectators to clap gently.
Golf is best televised. That lets them cut straight to the action. Can you imagine watching it in person, where you have to wait for it?
no. That’s a vision of hell. Seriously, no. And there are people who not only do this, but pay for it? Masochists, the lot of them.
Televised darts was introduced by David Attenborough, of all people. Darts and snooker were used to promote the idea of colour television.
That cracks me up for many reasons but mainly because I used to play in an amateur darts league and the best player on our team was a woman who’d drink half a dozen Black Russians during every competition. She regularly beat all of us.
I found that a pint or two seemed to improve my performance as it calmed my nerves, though anything more than that and my ability to even hit the board plummeted, but she played just as well at the beginning of the night as she did at the end. She was just that good.
Televised snooker is one of the things I miss from my time in England.
I played a lot of cricket in college and that was my experience as well. When sober, I seemed to try too much and miss my target. At 3+ pints, I was all over the place. However, with just the right buzz, while not to the level of professionals, I was very good at darts.
