From @ErinInTheMorn: the UK National Health Service is intertwined with a notorious right-wing disinformation network that promotes transphobic pseudoscience. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/nhs-trans-care-officials-speak-at#transphobia#pseudoscience
I've been looking at Google's AI overviews recently, and found a disturbing and utterly expected result on a query related to gender affirming care. The AI Overview approvingly cites the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM), which the SPLC calls a "key hub of anti-LGBTQ+ pseudoscience."
![SPLC Quote: "Since its founding, members of SEGM have undertaken a global media and public policy blitz to challenge the affirming care model, advocate against gender-affirming care, and lend scientific credibility to legal claims against LGBTQ+ civil rights. Specifically, SEGM has helped foster resistance to the idea that adolescents can be capable of exerting agency over their own care. This strategy was first seen in the Bell v. Tavistock case, before carrying it over more in the U.S. SEGM, for example, has indicated its belief that exploratory psychotherapy should be a first-line treatment for gender dysphoric people age 25 and under.[11] The group’s endeavors are helped largely by its scientific façade, a general lack of information about its political activities and its members’ affiliations with the anti-LGBTQ+ far right, as well as its extensive connections and substantial personnel overlap with another powerhouse group founded in the U.K. called Genspect."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:tsuexertapdaedikorpy27ck/bafkreighrgdnl65rcu276bi3abeos2oll42ripfqmajhhm7s5ky3rlvngi@jpeg)

Biometrics can be a convenient solution for logins or a great tool to entertain us with pseudoscience. However, if lost, we are unable to change them. Let us explore why we should be more careful with our and our customers' biometrics. #potatosecurity www.korte.co/84xt

Our biometric data is collected everywhere. Thus, it's crucial to understand why businesses and consumers should avoid biometric data.
Let's normalize not normalizing pseudoscience.
This particular denier is motivated by greed. Whether he believes the science or not is a mute point, in his lifetime his financial interests are best served by promoting baseless conspiracy theories and pseudoscience.
In the background, there is an advertisement for an "Ivermectin Contagion Emergency Kit." So perhaps add, 4) Confuses pseudoscience with science.

I love all that pseudoscience stuff too for oc and creative things! I find exploring my ocs with each one (zodiac, MBTI, enneagram, archetype, etc) to be the most fun cause it’s always hilarious to me when an oc has opposites in some of those but when you read about whatever it is it still fits 😂 -
