The fix is in, and TikTok is now just another implement in Trump and Elon's disinformation machine. Crazy times, our country is literally being run by the top social media platforms.

Social media is now literally running the country and controlling the faucets on the disinformation. Now they have TikTok too. 1984 is here folks, and more than 2/3 of the country sat back smugly staring at themselves in their precious smartphone mirrors while it happened.

I'm mean, OK, but less than 1/3 of the registered voters voted Trump. Less than 1/3.

I fully expect 1/3 of our country to be right wing, but for another 1/3 to just sit home and stare at themselves in their precious phones... how can they live with themselves?

Most countries concerned about disinformation campaigns influencing politics, or brainwashing children (probably some adults too)

Conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female, occur in 0.018% of the population [1].

The claim that 1.7% of the population is ‘intersex’ [2] includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex [1], and is often wrongly used to back up the ideological assertion that ‘sex is a spectrum’, or that biological sex is not dimorphic.
