In today's episode of "Revisionist History with Tony Reed"

Limits on insurance benefits date back to the inception of third-party payment for mental health services (Ridgely and Goldman 1989). Not until after World War II did insurance policies include mental health services, when insurers began covering some hospital psychiatric care (Goldman, Sharfstein, and Frank 1983). Before the period of deinstitutionalization, beginning in the late 1950s when most long-term care in psychiatric hospitals was replaced with community-based mental health care, there was little incentive for private insurers to cover services already paid for through the public sector (Frank, Koyangi, and McGuire 1997). But even though the proportion of private firms that include mental health and substance abuse coverage in their benefit packages has increased dramatically over the last thirty years, the National Compensation Survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that day and visit limits have become more stringent over time (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 1982, 2007). One survey conducted before the MHPAE law was enacted found that 74 percent of workers in employer-sponsored health plans with mental health benefits were subject to an annual outpatient visit limit, 64 percent were subject to an inpatient day limit, and 22 percent had higher cost sharing for mental health benefits than for general medical benefits (Barry et al. 2003).

Invest in some dry shampoo you clod.

I know I've posted it before but lol.

Look at this fuckin dude.

Imagine looking like this and pretending to be a "woman" despite obviously being a man.

His new haircut really brings out that Habsburg jaw I gotta say.

Does this man realize just looking at his fucked-up, weird face causes normal people to burst into spontaneous laughter?

Erin had long hair and thick hair that even real women would love to have. Yes, it was damaged and badly styled, but he could have fixed that. He really should have just trimmed the damaged dead ends and gotten an Olaplex treatment (popular bonding treatment to make your dry and damaged hair almost like new again). If he wanted to dye it, he should have gone a few shades lighter at most. Darker colors really wash his features out and make him look sickly.

Since he can't be bothered to style his hair properly, his best bet would have been to keep it long, hydrated, and tangle free. All something he could have easily done, all he would have needed to buy was Olaplex and use it once a week, plus a hair mask once a week. Instead, he does literally everything wrong. Cut it short, cut it in a style that's hard to maintain, and dyed it a terrible color that washes him out and will look like garbage once it starts fading.

I can't get over how Erin consistently does the wrong thing time and time again. He's been a "woman" for how many years now? Why hasn't this dipshit used his money to get makeup lessons? Or have his color season analyzed? Or get a professional stylist to help him pick flattering outfits? Instead he still looks like a guy that just came out as trans last week.

Joseph Edelman, the billionaire behind anti-trans bills. #trans #transgender #lgbtq #transrights

TikTok Link

Spoiler: Transcript

00:00
An incredible investigative journalism piece was just released in HuffPost yesterday, and it uncovers the money trail behind almost all of the anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ bills this year. The man is a hedge fund billionaire and biotech investor that goes by the name of Joseph Edelman.

00:20
And Joseph Edelman has previously not donated to very many causes. However, in 2021, he donated a million dollars to help fund the organization called Do No Harm. This is a new organization that has sent doctors to almost every state to testify for anti-trans bills. This piece has uncovered that this organization has paid these doctors up to $10,000 just to testify.

00:45
It has also funded several of Chloe Cole's trips. That's right, the most well-known anti-trans detransitioner is this billionaire's pet project. That would be bad enough, but he also funds Parents Defending Education, which is an organization opposed to gender ideology in schools.

01:02
He also has funded $400,000 to the Manhattan Institute. So these are people like Leor Sapir and other organizations that put out fake medical briefs.

01:11
This is all astroturfed. They are doing what they accuse the left of doing all the time. They are literally planting false people, paid to come in, paid actors, if you will, just to testify for these anti-trans bills.

01:25
There's a reason why all of these anti-trans people travel from state to state to state to state and have so much money to do so. It's because of billionaires like Joseph Edelman. So now you know one of the names behind all of this.

 

[glioblastoma multiforme]

he donated a million dollars to help fund the organization called Do No Harm

A billionaire donating a million dollars isn't really massive news.

The ultra rich giving money to causes that agree with their ideology isn't news either. It happens every single day. In the UK if you're wealthy enough you can (or at least could) pay for a private meeting with the prime minister.

Tony presenting this as something exceptional shows how naive our budding political pundit is about how lobbying actually works.

Also lol at "There's a reason why all of these anti-trans people travel from state to state to state to state and have so much money to do so." When was Tony just on tour, in states he's saying are dangerous for trans people? And going to Paris?

I also think that using the word billionaire with the type of audience Tony has immediately signals "evil wealth hoarder."

I will reiterate what I said in an earlier post: the ultra wealthy are responsible for the transgender trend. This is the article I was trying to find but couldn't, here's the TL;DR:

Spoiler: spoilered for length, failed in the spirit of a TL;DR

- LGBTQ+ buying power is $3.6+ billion
- Pritzker has donated roughly $15 million to various academic institutes and think tanks that are pro troon
- in the ‘90s, Martin Rothblatt hired three trans activist lawyers to create an “international, legal framework for the cultural acceptance of sexual identities not embodied in biological reality.”
- Rothblatt identifies as transhuman as well as a woman, and some made up thing called a "beme", not sure how that works. His doctoral thesis involved transplanting material from one species to another.
- "if people like Pritzker and Rothblatt can confuse a child about gender before he or she hits puberty, it means greater financial gains for them"
-Goes into the much discussed manipulation of language to create notions with no basis in reality and forcing them into the common lexicon
- Points out troons have much higher rates of mental illness than the general population

Or have his color season analyzed? Or get a professional stylist to help him pick flattering outfits? Instead he still looks like a guy that just came out as trans last week.

Because doing anything like that would involve listening to advice from a woman (or a gay man). Which in turn would involve admitting that he doesn't already know womanhood better than anyone else, by virtue of his incredible intellect.

He's the typical AGP who thinks he can lifehack/engineer his way into a superior version of "womanhood," bypassing all the boring and seemingly unnecessary work like taking advice from women. And due to a mixture of narcissism and hugboxing, he doesn't realize he just looks like a deformed retard.

 

[AMHOLIO]

And due to a mixture of narcissism and hugboxing, he doesn't realize he just looks like a deformed retard.

Think of it this way: the melodramatic importance and gravitats he gives himself for trans rights reporting is likely the same he gives for basically everything else. He's self centered, main character mary sue man. The outfit is good because HE likes it, and his taste is OF COURSE perfect.

You mean like this?

I do enjoy Tony's persistent delusion that he is "correcting" people.

This coming from the self appointed ultimate authority on "bad actors" who is a bad actor himself.

I like how his takeaway about other medical practices with poor scores is how it's UNFAIR not that it shows the entire point of evidence based medicine. I'm not defending EBM or GRADE specifically, I'm noting that Tony continues to simply scream this rather than see if EBM treats those other practices the same. I don't know anything about surgeries but I do know that EBM is generally as savage about other psychology/psychiatry-related practices as it is gender "medicine" aka another psychology practice.

Tony's focused on arguing with the enemies in his head, he doesn't realize that these people don't say "scores bad, ban it" so he's attacking the practice. This is because he can't contend with the second order argument being made against gender "medicine" that Tony fights by claiming it's proven to work, this moves the debate to whether this proof is true but Tony sticks with the original debate about whether or not it should be done. Tony can't follow the debate into the connecting tissue either because the position he wants can't be treated like similarly scoring practices. I bet taking out wisdom teeth scores poorly, there's lots of preventative procedures you could never need even if your risk is high, but the cost of the outpatient surgery is low compared to the benefits if you did develop problems. If we could as harmlessly take out your appendix, we'd probably do that for lots of people too. Tony could make this same argument for gender shit but he can't (I mean other than his being stupid) because you come back to the same lack of evidence. Even if people die from the surgery (obviously rare, but theoretically possible) taking out your wisdom teeth works 100% of the time at stopping future wisdom teeth issues. (Works even better at this if you die during surgery.)

This coming from the self appointed ultimate authority on "bad actors" who is a bad actor himself.

Tony has so little faith in his allies that he thinks they can't even attempt to defend their positions without it backfiring on The Cause.

Seems like it could be easy to address his concern by just requiring they let you keep your own copy of the footage/interview/etc. I know for a fact that much conservative media does not object to this from experience. (And the "true" footage comes out to the public about as often as Jesse Singal's sexual chaser e-mails.)

 

[Positron]

What is he yammering about "dose response curve"? I cannot think of a facet of transsexual care that involves dose and response, with the possible exception of "titty skittes" and breast size. I won't go into the issue of Randomize Control Trials (RCT) and the supposed levels of evidence; I'll just say I don't think RCT are the royal road to good evidence.

Many major surgeries are truly life-saving, thus they are considered good medical practice even they have non-negligible mortality risks. Tony is the misleading one here.

 

[Oliver Onions]

So I guess we're adding 'billionaire-funded astoturf campaigns' to the list of things that are only bad when they're not in favour of troon ideology.

I went back and looked at Tony's article and once again his criticism rests on "sources" such as troon blogs and troon websites and not serious or credible scientific or medical sources.

Stop jumping onto documentaries without research! #trans #transgender #lgbtq #transrights

TikTok Link

Spoiler: Transcript

0:00
We need to talk about anti-LGBTQ and anti-trans documentaries, why queer people keep appearing on them, and what you can do to protect yourself in the community.

0:09
So if you haven't noticed, there have been a ton of anti-trans and anti-queer documentaries. They appear everywhere from Matt Walsh's Twitter page to even Dutch television channels. And you will almost always see trans and queer people appear on them, even though they are completely slanted and horrible and they put everything out of context.

0:27
Why does this keep happening? So, I have been the recipient of several of these emails, and I know many others who have. You'll often get an email from somebody saying that they want to present both sides of the trans issue, or even state that they want to give you more of a voice.

0:42
And as a trans or queer person or parent or ally or doctor, you might feel like it is your duty to participate, like you can contribute positively. But so often these organizations are not doing this in good faith. They're going to selectively edit out anything that you say, or they're not going to run your clip altogether if you don't give them anything good.

1:01
It is irresponsible to take these. You should not do it. But here's how you research to tell if the org that you're working with, the news organization or the documentary producer, is good. If they are worth taking or not.

1:14
Whenever I receive one of these, I do a number of things. Number one, I jump onto the person who emailed me's LinkedIn. I also ask for the producer and look at their LinkedIn. You can look at all of the companies that they've worked at in the past. If they've worked at companies that look like they are bad or negative, you know not to take that. If they've never touched this issue before, you also know to be a little bit wary.

1:37
The second thing that I do is I ask if there are any queer or trans people on the production team. If there are none, that's automatically a huge red flag. Number three, I often ask either how they got my name or who else they're working with. If they're working with other queer and trans people, chances are those people have already talked to them and you can get a better idea of what kind of a shop they're running.

1:57
This is all really important. You don't want to go into these things blind. And I'm not saying that you have to turn down every documentary or interview. There are people doing really good work out there. But if a person has never covered queer and trans issues, if they have shady LinkedIn bios, if their production company is tiny and unheard of, you have to be careful.

2:15
And in fact, I would say you should not take those. There are so many bad actors out there. And there are times and places to engage those bad actors, namely on neutral territory. But you don't go into their shows. Just don't do it. It's a bad idea. Now you know how to do it.

 

[CoolFool]

First off, lol at him trying to prevent troons from talking to others and accidentally telling the truth about being trans or accidentally revealing how ridiculous troon logic really is.

Second, his hair is looking like shit way faster than I thought it would. The blue highlights are fading into the purple and making the overall color look muddy and gross. His hair is also looking dry while also looking greasy on top.

His hair is no longer looking anywhere near the way it was styled by the hairdresser, it is now back to being a poofy mess. It looks like he tried to straighten it and fucked it up. For those unaware, cuts like what Erin has need to be styled with not just straightening but also blow drying it a certain way. Straightening it alone could technically be done, but it requires skills that Erin does not have.

Spoiler: a petty rant

Erin's hair is so annoying, I admit it irks me more than it should. Erin should give up on trying to style his hair, he can't do it. He should go find the nearest blow dry bar and pay them $50 to clean, blow dry, and style his hair. It's what REAL professional women in his field do before they go on camera or attend events, and the styles last 3 days. He'd still look like shit mind you, but at least his hair wouldn't look so awful. Of course that's a short term solution for a long term problem, if he was really smart he should cut his losses, dye his hair a medium brown color and stock up on Olaplex and hair masks until he can grow his hair back out.

Or just buy a wig. I mean jeez, you can get a realistic wig for cheap these days.

Third, is it just me or is Erin looking fatter? Are we entering the fat Eunuch era?

So you whine about things purportedly being slanted and your "solution" is to refuse to participate unless it is purposefully slanted. Got it. Makes perfect sense!. Idiot!

 

[Poonocchio]

Third, is it just me or is Erin looking fatter? Are we entering the fat Eunuch era?

He is undeniably getting fatter. And yes, his hair looks like shit, he looks even more like the Wicked Witch of the West with that colour and "style".

 

[Chickenpolar]

Third, is it just me or is Erin looking fatter? Are we entering the fat Eunuch era?

He's become quite the chonky boy. Maybe he thinks he's getting curves from the fattening when it just means he's got the usual male neck/belly fat distribution.
