  • Paraphrasing from a recent episode of Behind the Bastards on the Vioxx scandal: There’s a lot of recency bias in humans where it’s difficult to look past the fuckups of the pharma industry. If their “current” MO is to make a shit ton of money at the cost of human lives, then why would someone with lesser critical thinking skills trust them? One needs quite a bit more faculties to separate the capitalism from the good they are doing and tell apart what’s trustworthy and what not.

    So pharma fucked their bed spectacularly and aren’t doing fuck all to restore trust. And that’s very sad considering how important they could be if they wanted to.

    Yeah, this is the problem in that the definitions vary between “inclusive of trans women and NB” to “NB leaning on fem” and all the way to “any trans identity that wants to include feminity”. In the end though it might not matter since more inclusive is better and CWs are encouraged anyway for touchy topics.

    Having googled some definitions, transfem is one of those terms that doesn’t have one clear definition whereas MtF has enough history to be fairly unambiguous. No matter what it would draw a slightly different venn diagram as a name. That isn’t a bad thing, just not sure what it looks like from an NB angle.
