Area TV host posits that test meant to predict success in law school is better proxy for legal talent than actual performance in decades-long career in law. — PolitiTweet.org

@seanf730 You seem to be assuming one codified approach subscribed to by all gender clinicians, but I've heard enough interviews on other matters with gender clinicians to think that diversity of opinion and approach is closer to the reality — PolitiTweet.org

@seanf730 Are you speculating or do you know that? — PolitiTweet.org

@seanf730 Of course clinicians would get more info, I just have no idea what they would say about voice dysphoria — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@mffwww I think we should prefer a term with different connotations to best capture the reality of surgeries that help people with dysphoria to achieve good outcomes; in the op, I took it to refer to surgeries on people misled into thinking they were gender dysphoric — PolitiTweet.org

While an unusually long installment of my Up for Debate newsletter, this one on Ukraine captures why I value airing diverse perspectives https://t.co/JRWamAN4mj In moments like this, it's especially important to test our own beliefs & to understand how others are thinking. — PolitiTweet.org

@mffwww The Tweet doesn't refer to trans identity as a mental illness. It says that the op is treating things as markers of trans identity that are actually things most people experience. And I am asking questions about the actual claim because I am curious how gender clinicians respond — PolitiTweet.org

@OnlyOrysk I always imagine that Morgan Freeman and David Attenborough and Helen Mirren like the sounds of their voices on recordings, but that yeah, it's discordant for the rest of us — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

Hating the sound of one's voice played back on recordings is very common. I hadn't known some consider it a sign of dysphoria, but searching Twitter, numerous people characterize it in those terms. What do gender clinicians say about this? — PolitiTweet.org

@Travel_Buddha Democrats were foolish to nominate her in my view — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@Travel_Buddha I wanted HRC to win but calling her competent gives her too much credit. Was the Libya intervention competent? How about the Clinton Foundation's work in Haiti? How about Clinton's campaign? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

None of us should pretend. Biden is flawed. But Rs put forth a candidate so awful in morality and competence that the country went with an alternative who is well past his prime... and is better off having done so. Imagine having an erratic Putin sycophant in the WH right now. — PolitiTweet.org

@kdrum Your statement is more true in suburbs where a majority of voters are homeowners — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@kdrum Sometimes, but not always. In Los Angeles, for instance, homeowner manipulation of community boards and lawsuits that abuse CEQA probably prevent as much added density as duly enacted rules with majority support. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

Same. Someone didn't read *Catch 22*. A real black eye for Laurie! — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

I often think about how simple reforms to needlessly onerous zoning laws and other restrictions on new construction and density could solve our affordable housing crisis without costing anyone anything. This is a government-created problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@edcu Ed, when I say *this implicates literally everyone* and you reply *yes it's all about you* I can't help but start to think you're the sort of person who twists the words of others to satisfy an insatiable need to feel offended. Heal thyself. — PolitiTweet.org
