1:25 pm	On the Necessity of Specialization in Advocacy In every human endeavor, one constraint governs all others: resources are finite. Time, funding, political influence, and human attention are all scarce. This scarcity imposes a fundamental requirement on any organized collective: prioritization. A movement that begins with a clearly defined purpose tends, over time, to drift toward broader goals. This phenomenon, sometimes called mission expansion, is especially visible in communities that advocate for social or medical rights. A movement originally established to secure practical improvements for a specific group often seeks solidarity with numerous other causes. While this broadening of scope may be well-intentioned, it introduces unavoidable consequences. 1. The Principle of Specialization In complex systems, efficiency arises from specialization. A surgeon is not expected to design microprocessors; an engineer is not expected to compose symphonies. Each discipline advances fastest when its practitioners concentrate on the problems where their expertise and incentives align. The same applies to advocacy. When an organization formed to improve medical access for transsexual individuals diverts significant energy toward international conflicts, famine relief, or global climate policy, its effectiveness on its original mandate inevitably declines. This is not a moral judgment; it is a structural inevitability. Finite attention divided across infinite causes leads to diminished returns everywhere. 2. On the Illusion of Infinite Alignment It is often claimed that “everything is connected.” This is correct in the abstract but misleading in practice. The existence of connections does not imply equivalence of priorities. For example: Efforts to address food scarcity in Africa are distinct from efforts to develop advanced surgical techniques for facial feminization. Advocacy concerning Middle Eastern geopolitics operates on a scale, timeframe, and set of trade-offs unrelated to access to injectable hormone therapies in Europe. A famine relief program reallocates funding toward nutrition, not toward research on artificial wombs or reproductive medicine. The limited nature of research grants, healthcare budgets, and political lobbying forces difficult decisions: supporting one initiative often implies not supporting another. Pretending otherwise leads to frustration and stagnation. 3. The Role of Transsexual Advocacy The advancement of medical science relevant to transition care — improvements in hormone delivery, facial reconstruction, organ transplantation, and reproductive technologies — depends on sustained investment, careful lobbying, and integration into broader biomedical research. These efforts require focused, technically informed advocacy. When this advocacy is embedded within larger ideological frameworks, two problems emerge: Dilution of focus — Transition-related priorities compete with dozens of unrelated agendas. Loss of political leverage — Potential allies in medicine, law, and policy may hesitate when engagement implies alignment with controversial or unrelated positions. A more effective approach is separation of concerns: organizations pursuing humanitarian aid should optimize for saving lives in famine-stricken regions; those addressing geopolitical conflicts should specialize in diplomacy and stability; transsexual advocacy should concentrate on the specific medical, legal, and technological challenges relevant to its community. 4. Indirect Interdependencies It would be incorrect, however, to assume complete isolation. Global events affect local realities indirectly. For instance, economic stability often influences research budgets. A stable supply of energy resources can enable greater funding for advanced biomedical technologies. In this sense, conflicts over oil, trade, and territorial disputes may ultimately shape the pace of medical progress. But acknowledging interdependencies does not obligate individuals or organizations to act on all fronts simultaneously. In practice, specialization remains the more efficient strategy. 5. Toward a Sustainable Structure If the objective is measurable improvement in transition-related healthcare, certain structural principles follow: Explicit Scope Define the organization’s mandate narrowly: access to care, advancement of relevant research, and removal of medical and legal barriers. Guardrails Against Mission Drift Embed governance mechanisms that require significant consensus to expand beyond the defined scope. Direct Engagement With Research Institutions Partner with universities, biotech firms, and healthcare systems rather than relying exclusively on general-purpose activist organizations. Data-Driven Advocacy Ground priorities in quantifiable needs: surgical availability, treatment outcomes, cost accessibility, and insurance coverage. By focusing effort where it is most effective, the community preserves its capacity to achieve progress without being consumed by external agendas. 6. Conclusion Finite resources require trade-offs. This is not a moral failing; it is a structural property of reality. In advocacy, as in engineering, success follows from well-defined objectives and resistance to uncontrolled expansion of scope. The pursuit of better transition-related healthcare — whether improved facial surgery, safer hormonal treatments, or future reproductive technologies — is a specialized challenge. It demands dedicated structures, insulated from unrelated debates, yet capable of integrating the resulting innovations into broader medical progress. Clarity of purpose is not exclusion. It is the prerequisite for effectiveness. Current Mood: contemplative (4 Comments |Comment on this)

8:17 pm	On Gender Dysphoria and Trans Identity Newsgroups: alt.sociology, alt.psychology, alt.culture Hey all, Been lurking on this thread and wanted to toss in my 2 cents on the whole gender dysphoria vs. trans identity thing. There's this idea floating around that a lot of trans girls with legit dysphoria never come out. Why? Too conformist, too scared, or just lacking the guts to own it. Takes real *balls* to step up and claim that identity, right? Instead, they play the "man" role, faking it through life, sometimes screwing over folks who rely on them for "manly" stuff. Picture a guy secretly hating his wife out of pure jealousy ‘cause she’s a "real" woman, or not vibing with his kids ‘cause he didn’t birth them and doesn’t have that fatherly instinct. Messed up, but it tracks. Look at history—those Vietnam vet crossdressers who came out? They had the courage to fight for it, unlike your typical borderline transmaxxer types who stay closeted. Contrast that with someone like Alfrid from *The Hobbit*—total coward, right? Dude’s the type to bully LGBTQ+ folks just to prove he’s *not* one of them, even though he’s probably the queerest in the room. Classic overcompensation. Here’s the kicker: trans *identity* ain’t the same as being transsexual. Identity’s a choice, something you lean into, but it might not match who you *are* deep down. Medical and social science folks care about the real deal—what’s actually going on with someone’s psyche or biology. Back in Tolkien’s day, “transgenderism” wasn’t a thing (it’s kinda a modern political buzzword anyway), but there were definitely unmanly types who’d now get slapped with an “incel-transmaxxer” label or a dysphoria diagnosis. Problem is, they’d deny it to their grave ‘cause society’s drilled into them that being trans is bad, and coming out’s risky. Point is, trusting someone like Alfrid with “manly” duties—or even enlisting them in the army—is a disaster waiting to happen. They’re not just failing at masculinity; they’re undermining what modern feminism’s pushing for: that women can handle “manly” roles just fine. Instead, these types are out here looking for a “daddy” to complete them. Thoughts? -cypherpunk123 P.S. No flame wars, plz. Just tryna spark some discussion.

2:11 pm	When some artist goes ranting that using generative AI is not okay. I always counter that most people have no art talent, so need a prosthesis. The artists then always argue that everyone has "talent". Which I counter that by their logic Adolf Hitler too had talent and his art wasn't soulless technical study in imitation. Truth being told, Hitler's art was deficient from the technical standpoint (e.g. he never learned to use projection), meaning he was partially subhuman himself, and had to rely on soul and talent to draw anything. To become the pure dictator, one has to absolve themselves of any talent and accept technique over emotions and intuition. Don't trust your soul to compose the scene - use algorithm based of statistical studies, because intuition is the unholy symptom of the degenerate african art. Statistical generative model is precisely what is required to create our perfect Hitler, who will succeed where the original failed. Heil LLM!

4:54 pm	On the Curious Case of Childhood Gender Dysphoria: A Wildean Reflection It is a truth universally acknowledged, though seldom admitted, that childhood is less a natural state than a performance dictated by the relentless hand of parental expectation. Boys must wield the “proper” toys, don the “appropriate” raiment, and march in solemn procession to the drumbeat of masculinity — lest they fall victim to that modern malady: gender dysphoria. But mark this well, dear reader: this affliction is rarely born of the child’s own nature, but rather of the cruel imposition of roles alien and absurd. Imagine, if you will, a boy instructed that “real men” must embrace certain rites and rituals. Should he recoil, preferring instead to chart his own course, this is not mere whimsy but a rebellion against tyranny dressed as tradition. The more strident the insistence, the deeper the conflict; gender dysphoria is but the echo of this enforced discord. Hence, it may be said with some confidence that any child, when shackled by such arbitrary chains, can suffer this malaise. Yet, let us sharpen our inquiry: can children truly endure sexual dysphoria? Here lies a far subtler shade — a profound unease with the very vessel that carries them through life, mingled with the shadows of behavior and identity. Consider the “girly boy” who defies not with loud cries but with quiet submission so extreme it stifles initiative and passion. He falters where manly tasks require fire and will. A girl handed a toy gun does not rise in rebellion; she simply rewrites the game in her own gentler image. Such children often brood over their reflections with harsh judgment, seeking salvation in gyms and salons, yet finding only a hollow victory, for no outward change can soothe the restless soul. Let us not confuse these tender sufferers with the adult masquerade of fetish crossdressers, who delight in adornment for pleasure’s sake, nor with the “trans maxxers,” who transition from despair at failing traditional manhood. Nor yet with those tormented by borderline emptiness, adrift without stable identity, who clutch at gender like a lifeline tossed upon a stormy sea. These are separate dramas, distinct in their origins and actors. In every case, the relentless enforcement of rigid gender roles proves not the cure, but the poison. It is a cruel farce that damages rather than defines, shatters rather than shapes. The lesson, dear friend, is that one cannot force the delicate bloom of identity into a box fashioned by society’s brittle prejudices without crushing its very essence. To insist otherwise is to mistake a costume for a soul. Current Mood: amused Current Music: LukHash - Perpetual Motion c64 remix (8 Comments |Comment on this)

12:08 am	1488 Ну вот. Дети инсинуируют мне расизм и работу на Кремль. А я девушка глубоко прагматичная, и служу лишь одному отечеству - себе. Поэтому меня угнетают попытки косерваторов использовать трансмедов для отвода внимания, когда в США негры убивают сотни тысяч белых людей и нассилуют миллионы белых женщин. Меня угнетает, когда черные женщины на порядок атлетичней белых, и та же Серена Уильямс без стеснения флексит своей нечеловеческой выносливостью. Меня угнетает, что трансмедов обвиняют в секшл харрасменте, но одновременно запрещают нам отрезать себе члены. Руководство Трампа - крайне умные люди, но вот их электорату надо разьяснить, что трансмеды - не враги праваков, и праваки не враги тсок. У нас общий враг исламо-негритянская чума. Христианам надо истреблять не тсок, а мусульман - истинных врагов их религии. "Имеющий уши - да услышит, имеющий глаза - да увидит, имеющий разум - да осознает".

6:06 pm	Het Netherlands Нидерланды, я напомню, отказались приютить своих родственников - голландоязычных Буров из Южной Африки, которых там режут за цвет кожи и успешность. Причины: беженцы не смогли ужиться с милыми каннибалами, которые лишь хотят равноправия и частей тел для вуду снадобий. А вот Трамп их приютил. Можно по разному относиться к Трампу, но левацкое болото давно пора сушить и сделать Америку безопасной. Если что, больше всего тсок в США убивают в районах нацменьшинств (кроме азиатских как ни странно). Нидерланды кстати селят тсок-беженок в консервативные лагеря с джихадистами и просто людоедами, которые без шуток убили десятки людей на родине и в ЕС успели отсидеть за поножовщину. Ту же Алису Серову (Кириешку) затащили в арабский юнит, и насиловали всю ночь, после чего голландцы ее заперли в детскую тюрьму (с самыми брутальными арабами-неграми) - - спровоцировала бедных мюслей себя изначиловать, неудобная персона и расистка. Там ее регулярно били, лишили гормонов, и телефона (отобрали и тупо сломали). По выходу Кириешка покончила с собой, ибо не видела куда бежать. Помню был трансмаск (типичная повесточная без тестостерона) и дочка ее - тоже трансмаск. Их по приезду определили к арабам - после первой ночи они верещали что не трансмаски, а просто лесбиянки. И как сноска, национальный гимн Африки - Dubul' ibhunu. Его массово репостят американские негры на ютубе https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww6Z-m06Pyo - тут под Бурами понимаются уже все белые.

I'm sure the governments of Philippines and Thailand will help lobbying such law in the Western countries. Cheers! Current Mood: amused (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:20 pm	Am I human? After I published the below post, I got kremlin bots calling me "отморозок" and crying "они же дети", without elaborating why. "Я вам как русская скажу, я лично плакать не станут если все палестинские дети на одной березке качаться будут. Не буду плакать даже если снафф видео сделают и продадут массово миллионам извращенцев, чтобы дрочили. Вместо того чтобы плакать я подпишу петицию чтобы еще и иранских выблядышей на соседнюю повесили." My position was and is: being a transsexual woman I can't give birth to my own children, so I care for all children of the world. As a mother I don't want my children to be born to suffer in the poor ugly islam ridden shitholes, or the no-future orthodox army barracks like Russia. From that I reason that quick death is more humane and merciful than the life of suffering, since it is impossible to have happy life in e.g. Russia. And if that death makes somebody happy (e.g. sell dead bodies to pervs), that is better than if it makes people unhappy. I'm a staunch proponent of increasing overall happiness not matter the cost. In fact, I wont be angry, if after my death people will be raping my body, if that makes them happy. But I fail to infer why it is so hard for others to understand and accept my logic. It is as if I'm communicating with animals, who are absent of reasoning and react to emotional cues only. Am I human, or they are not human, but some other branch of evolution, which just happens to understand the basic language without excessive abstractions?

2:38 am	On the nature of the modern Christianity The endgame of campaigns like Collective Shout’s, which pressure payment processors to censor adult and LGBTQ+ content, isn’t about converting the broader population but about mobilizing a loyal, ideologically committed minority—likely conservative Christians—for further objectives. By framing issues like pornography or LGBTQ+ visibility as moral threats, these campaigns strengthen the resolve of their core supporters, who are driven by a Manichean (good vs. evil) worldview. Alienating large swaths of the population (e.g., youth, secular groups) is a calculated trade-off, as each loyalist, motivated by this binary ideology, is far more valuable than a neutral or unconverted person. These loyalists can be directed toward various goals, unquestioning as long as the cause is cloaked in moral or religious rhetoric. Current Mood: amused (11 Comments |Comment on this)

Humanity's only freedom is the freedom to progress, and the unconditional free speech is one of its columns, since it helps establishing truth required to cut all the gordian knots. Everything else is holding humanity back. That includes deficient religions and the degenerate genetic species, which don't create any value for the progress. Cheers!

12:16 am	You're bald, because your maternal line fucked with degenerates mtDNA Damage Accumulates with Age Mitochondrial DNA is highly exposed to oxidative stress (ROS) and has limited repair mechanisms. In balding scalps: Studies have found mtDNA deletions and mutations. Increased 8-OHdG (a marker of mtDNA oxidative damage) in dermal papilla cells of AGA patients. These cells become senescent, losing their ability to support hair follicles. 3. Mitochondrial Dysfunction = Increased ROS = Hair Loss Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) from malfunctioning mitochondria: Trigger apoptosis in follicle-supporting cells. Inhibit Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which is essential for hair growth. Push cells into a fibrotic, aging state. In AGA, there’s a pattern of premature aging and inflammation around miniaturizing follicles. 4. Maternal Inheritance Clues mtDNA is maternally inherited. While baldness is polygenic (many genes, including autosomal and X-linked), some studies have found: Correlation between maternal family history and AGA severity. Suggests mtDNA or mitochondrial factors could contribute. 5. DHT + Mitochondrial Interaction DHT (dihydrotestosterone) sensitivity in AGA affects dermal papilla cells. DHT has been shown to: Downregulate mitochondrial gene expression. Promote mitochondrial fragmentation and cellular stress in hair follicles. This implies that mitochondrial dysfunction may not only be a result of baldness but also a driver when combined with hormonal signals. both microneedling and aggressive scalp massage work on the same fundamental principle: they trigger controlled micro-injury to the scalp, which initiates a regenerative wound-healing response that can reactivate dormant hair follicles. Let’s go deeper into how and why this works — from both a mechanical and molecular standpoint: A. Inflammatory Phase (Days 1–3) Damage signals (DAMPs) activate immune cells. Release of cytokines like IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β. Recruitment of macrophages, which clear debris and secrete pro-regenerative factors. B. Proliferation Phase Wnt/β-catenin pathway gets activated — this is crucial for anagen (growth phase) re-entry. Increased fibroblast activity, angiogenesis (new blood vessels), and collagen remodeling. Stimulation of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) in the bulge area. C. Mitochondrial and Metabolic Response Cells in the hair follicle shift from quiescent metabolism (glycolysis) to active mitochondrial respiration (OXPHOS). ROS generated by mitochondria act as signaling molecules, not damage, at low levels. Boost in ATP, NAD+, and SIRT1 activity helps drive stem cell proliferation and differentiation.
