@ContraPoints As a trans woman who dabbled in the pick-up community for a time, about 11 years back, before popular talk of the manosphere, incels, and redpilling, all this rings pretty true from both perspectives. @ContraPoints I broke out through the more self-help-oriented "inner game" approaches where I ended up caring more about being a worthwhile human being than demanding others make me whole, but saw many go into the pit of despair, catastrophizing, and community-reinforced self-harm.

For what it's worth I actually don't agree with this take. Need for hormones and affirming surgeries IS a sexual health issue, and this is about addressing symptoms without pathologizing. Sexual health is better understood in the world than psychology IMHO medium.com/@Phaylen/from-… There are a LOT of health care practitioners in the world (not enough still) who work to address matters of sexual health who will be better enabled to support trans patients with classifications under sexual health than under obscure psychological disorder categories.

I am not a lawyer, but I'll try to break this down. As the QB twitter notes, this is not a final ruling on constitutionality, but a decision on an application for injunctive relief (a pause on enforcement) on GSA reqs in the School Act. #abed #abpoli

Hon. Justice Kubik applies a standard 3 part test for injunctive relief: 1) serious constitutional issue to be tried, 2) compliance w/provisions would result in irreparable harm, 3) if the injunction is granted, does the benefit to the applicant outweigh the potential harm?
