No one called the police because the police were already aware and were investigating. The uwu callout post was to inform others in the Vulture Culture group thing to not purchase items/human remains from this person as there is a chance they were illegally obtained.

Good people who run in the Vulture Culture circle(s) tend to care about staying within the law and not going to jail and/or paying hundreds of thousand of dollars in fines.

This chick is still hella gross for stealing human remains though.

The dumb thing is I think you can still purchase skeletons that are from real humans from some universities. There are even entire companies based around selling human remains for medical purposes. Sure it'll cost you up to 10k for an entire set but it's all super professional. Pulling random bones you find out of the graveyard isn't even going to give you good quality ones.

In the cases of legit bodies you actually go out and buy those are frequently donated. You actually do a poo poo load of different things with your body when you die. "I want to donate myself to science and have my skeleton put on display" is one of them. It costs to actually preserve the drat thing properly but really it isn't that hard to get a human skeleton if you pay the right price.

The art department of the school I just graduated from has an actual human skeleton in the drawing studio. If memory serves it originally belonged to a small Vietnamese woman. She's obviously long since died but her remains are helping art students.

Kind of makes me want to donate my skeleton to an art department when I die. Hmm.

Just one? My one life drawing teacher had 3, including a small asian woman and a black man. He also had a collection of found animal bones including well preserved raccoon and wolf/coyote/dog legs with all the tendons still intact so you could see how everything moves. I think he even donated a few to the school displays of full dog/cat skeletons as well. One of his field trips was to the local university to draw all the dead babies in jars and such.

Hell, these people should just make friends with art students instead of going grave robbing, it'd probably be quicker.

Our art department was actually pretty small and I was one of like four art majors to graduate this semester. It's OK though because we have a wood kiln. I'd say that's a decent trade. I'd rather have the wood kiln; you only really need one skeleton.

To be honest, I'd love to read a book that is critical of liberal feminism. But I would like to read one that isn't written by a) That guy who endlessly edited the Silent Hill Wiki, b) Camille Paglia or c) a shrill, insecure MRA who's entire political MO revolves around his discomfort with women distinguishing themselves from doormats, to borrow a phrase.

:saddowns: I'm sorry this weird rear end in a top hat decided to do... whatever he was trying to accomplish.
Most good criticisms of liberal feminism take place in marxist writings and within feminist writing itself.

iirc, zizek criticises Butler for, in spite of having interesting and correct ideas, not really articulating a solution to the grander problem as she sees it, with only customary waves to anticapitalist gestures. I can't recommend a book per se because he is a madman who flits between points and no one book concretely argues with feminist ideas directly because nice things don't happen.

Most writers are busy criticizing capitalism as a whole or the wider mistakes everyone is making all the time, so talking about 'bad parts of feminism' tends to get less prioritised.

Also the amount of people on the internet who will spontaneously jump into explaining how circumcision is super bad will never not amuse me. Apparently having a foreskin is so loving fantastic it makes you perpetually afraid of it getting cut off by imaginary parents.

It is pretty hosed up though, you're altering your child's genitals purely so they look a certain way. It's no where near the level of what happens to intersex people or women in certain countries where they do it to lessen sexual pleasure/mutilate their genitals, but it's still pretty loving weird that father's are so obsessed with their kid's dick they get it done. For all the issues men could complain about centering it around their dicks seems pretty loving hilarious though. It's like the guys screaming about having to sign waivers to make sure they aren't raping someone when they don't even have a partner or have sex regularly.

It's the very thin line where it's definitely wrong and bad, but it's also not the worst thing that can happen to a male child (if it is, at least, performed correctly!), and certainly not the biggest problem to focus in on, so worrying about that one thing specifically is always weird.

What we should really all be worrying about is how I have to ask someone if they are okay with sex before it happens. Do you have any idea how much this affects me?

What if they say no? What if, instead, we have to watch Futurama and hold hands?! Feminism is destroying the world! Take the red pill and start talking like a cartoon supervillain before it's too late!

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.


Meet Kenneth Zucker, former Chief Psychologist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto.

I say former, because…

quote:

One former client, now an adult transmale, alleged that Dr. Zucker asked him to remove his shirt in front of other clinicians present, laughed when he complied, and then referred to him as "a hairy little vermin."

quote:

The chart review revealed a 9 year old patient being asked about what made him sexually excited during his first meeting with a clinician in the initial assessment. This was a client with particular vulnerability from trauma and in foster care.

quote:

Further issues of incomplete informed consent in the clinic were raised by reports of photos being taken without explanation of and approval by the client. A patient also report not being informed of how photos are being used. One person stated that the pictures were also taken with a cell-phone, which made them feel quite concerned about the possible dissemination of these photos.

I think the whole photo is super over-processed, on top of the background possibly being edited in.

If you take enough photoshop brushes to a picture, trying to make it look more clear, realistic, etc, you can end up with that weird look.

That's not even half of it.

CAMH was literally running conversion therapy for underage transsexuals in their gender clinic. If you went there under 18 they'd try to bully you into being straight/cis and deliberately put off getting people the hormones or medications they needed to stop them from going through puberty. They also used the underage kids as unwilling participants in their studies about pedophilia or sexual abnormalities, which is where a lot of their funding came from the gov.

What's really heinous is that it's one of two gender clinics in all of Toronto and the surrounding area. CAMH and Sherbourne are the only two that can refer you to get surgery covered by the gov for gender related health reasons. So if you didn't put up with their poo poo you could always go to the Sherbourne clinic...and wait 1-2 years to even get your case started. I just got a letter from CAMH for when I was referred a few weeks ago saying my first appointment will be in 20 months. They deliberately would offput your appointments to get you surgery or gate keep it based on whether they thought you were a "real trans" or not.

They're trying to change the laws now so any doctor can refer anyone for the gender reassignment surgeries rather than forcing people to wait years on waitlists like this, but it's too little too late.
