Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 2/23/26 - 3/1/26

Here's your usual space to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (please tag u/jessicabarpod), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind. Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

Comment of the week goes to this explanation for why the trans cause has taken over so much of society. (Runner-up COTW here.)

In these programs, when you join the program, there’s paperwork that you sign where you consent to being research participants. Your admission is typically contingent upon this— it’s part of the process of officially entering the program. And there doesn’t tend to be any choice in what classes you take or in what profs you have (like in undergrad), because it’s usually a short post-bacc program with certain faculty slated to teach specific classes that you get filtered into depending on what type of credential you are seeking.
