as if if China hadn’t done Reform and Opening-up this somehow would have prevented the fall of the USSR, as if imperialism and capitalism were just on the brink of collapse until China somehow saved them.

This interpretation is contradicted by the next sentence and the excerpt from Chuang.

“China, having won the US the Cold War”

100<20+90

100+20>90

Doesn't mean that the 20 is the biggest contributor.

“China is complicit in and in some ways responsible for American imperialism”

This is even less relevant.

imagine believing that China somehow holds more blame than like… the US?

This is badjacketing and not what he said.

No it doesn't. Their data is available for download, and it is normalized using census data.

I don't mean to downplay DSA's sex pest problem at all, but this is not exclusive to them. Last year, there was the case of Steven Powers in the PSL, and Black Rose/Rosa Negra also had 33 members resign due to sexism.

Maybe this would work for not being marked "inactive."

Some good resources:

• HRC - Supporting & Caring for Transgender Children
• UCSF - Health considerations for gender non-conforming children and transgender adolescents
• https://www.reddit.com/r/AskSocialScience/comments/ergxo7/what_is_the_ideal_way_to_treat_children_with/ff3ttzi/
• In a survey of trans people in the U.S. (not just those who got treatment as children), only about 0.4% of people who transition detransition because "they realized that gender transition was not for them." It is much more common for people who detransition to do so because of other reasons, such as discrimination. page 111

Treatment should probably be more radical than what they suggest, but the vast majority of trans people face far worse conditions.

Gender identity in children:

Gender Identity Development in Children

UCSF - "Health considerations for gender non-conforming children and transgender adolescents"

Children as young as 18 months old have articulated information about their gender identity and gender expression preferences.

"Baseline Physiologic and Psychosocial Characteristics of Transgender Youth Seeking Care for Gender Dysphoria"

Youth recognized gender incongruence at a mean age of 8.3 years (standard deviation = 4.5), yet disclosed to their family much later (mean = 17.1; standard deviation = 4.2).

"The role of gender constancy in early gender development"

Results indicated a general pattern of an increase in stereotype knowledge, the importance and positive evaluation of one's own gender category, and rigidity of beliefs between the ages of 3 and 5.

"Desisting and persisting gender dysphoria after childhood: A qualitative follow-up study"

Adolescents with persisting gender dysphoria (persisters) and those in whom the gender dysphoria remitted (desisters) indicated that they considered the period between 10 and 13 years of age to be crucial. They reported that in this period they became increasingly aware of the persistence or desistence of their childhood gender dysphoria. Both persisters and desisters stated that the changes in their social environment, the anticipated and actual feminization or masculinization of their bodies, and the first experiences of falling in love and sexual attraction had influenced their gender related interests and behaviour, feelings of gender discomfort and gender identification. Although, both persisters and desisters reported a desire to be the other gender during childhood years, the underlying motives of their desire seemed to be different.

Gender Cognition in Transgender Children

In the current study, we adopted methodological advances from social-cognition research to investigate whether 5- to 12-year-old prepubescent transgender children (N = 32), who were presenting themselves according to their gender identity in everyday life, showed patterns of gender cognition more consistent with their expressed gender or their natal sex, or instead appeared to be confused about their gender identity. Using implicit and explicit measures, we found that transgender children showed a clear pattern: They viewed themselves in terms of their expressed gender and showed preferences for their expressed gender, with response patterns mirroring those of two cisgender (nontransgender) control groups. These results provide evidence that, early in development, transgender youth are statistically indistinguishable from cisgender children of the same gender identity.

I've seen "Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial and Postcolonial World" recommended, although Korea is only one chapter of it.
