Sadly it's "temporary " but I hope there's a push to make it permanent.

That doesn't make any sense. If there's a risk from certain groups donating blood, then it's not like that risk is going to temporarily disappear during a tragedy.

A lot of right wing groups and sites seem to be citing a paper published in The New Atlantic, a scientific ethics journal associated with several right wing groups. It was co-authored by Paul McHugh of John Hopkins university, who argued that Transgenderism is a mental illness.

The guy seems to misuse the results of several other papers to make his argument, and even the authors of those studies have called him out on it.

This makes me wish Steam would confirm one or more of the TF2 characters as not straight. Considering the content of much of the fanart, you wouldn't think it'd be too much of a problem, but then again...

Just so we're clear, I'm glad they're doing expirements with 3d printing tissues in such a way that it can help people transition, even if it's not the primary intended use, but I'm honestly surprised we're doing this poo poo so soon.

I guess I just always assumed it'd be the primary organs first (heart, lungs, etc.), then limbs, and then finally once those had been worked out we'd move on to growing surrogate sex organs.

Well, it’s not like there’s only one lab in the world working on this kind of stuff. I’m sure all areas of the body have some sort of research done on them in this field.
