NEW SURVEY – Usefulness of the WPATH Standards of CareA research study from the University of Hawai‘i is now open for participation.
The study explores how the WPATH Standards of Care v8 – Eunuch Chapter has supported individuals in accessing gender-affirming medical or surgical care (e.g., orchiectomy, penectomy, nullification).
Participants are invited to complete a completely anonymous 30-minute survey to share their experience. No personal information is collected.
Click below to take the survey:

The results will contribute to a medical journal article and help improve access and care for the Eunuch community.Interesting Canadian petition...

Re: Interesting Canadian petition...
PornHub didn't write it or pass it... But exactly what could the banning states DO if instead they had simply ignored the ban and kept on doing their normal process? I'm making the presumption that everything they are putting on their site is compliant with laws relating to CSAM and so on, so what obligates them to do ANYTHING in regards to complying with such a ban... However by putting up that block voluntarily they nominally keep the politicians happy while giving them the finger at the same time....Nulloguy wrote: Thu Mar 20, 2025 11:42 amWell, Pornhub certainly didn't write, pass, or sign the legislation into law, did they?WheelyFixed wrote: Wed Mar 19, 2025 5:47 pm That sounds like it is something PH is doing voluntarily...

If PornHub ignored the situation, each of the 19 states involved could hit PornHub with expensive damage lawsuits and/or issue daily fines for every day PornHub is in non-compliance with state law.WheelyFixed wrote: Thu Mar 20, 2025 12:43 pm But exactly what could the banning states DO if instead they had simply ignored the ban and kept on doing their normal process?

A link that was sent to me by JesusA offline - it is politics of a sort, but seems at least somewhat relevant, though some of us might not have much interest in that sort of site for some reason...
Essentially it is a petition to block US access to the PornHub website which runs out of Canada as a form of retaliation for the recent tariffs...
Particularly interesting is that according to the statistics that PornHub collects about usage, the US is the highest %age of visitors, and the highest use state is UTAH, with the others mostly being the ultra conservative states in the deep south....
The line I found most amusing wasThis left me wondering if they ended their visit by rolling over and going to sleep...On average, viewers in the U.S. spent 10 minutes and 37 seconds on the site.
(I was a bit hesitant to post given the political aspect, but it seems funny enough to risk it...)

It will be interesting to see how a Canadian company can be forced into compliance with US law. Really, the only thing the US could do is put a block on the IP serving the site, which seems contradictory to the US Constitution's 1st amendment prohibition of the government regulating speech, expression, and affiliation.WheelyFixed wrote: Wed Mar 19, 2025 5:47 pm PornHub didn't write it or pass it...

As others have mentioned, it's quite easy to get past, even if the government does that. I live in a state with such a prohibition and it's quite easy to "Nope" out of it. I can get around it quite easily. Not much the government can do about it, I'm an adult, and I'm free to view whatever I wish so long as the continent isn't harming protected classes.
