this is something that I think everyone at all points of the political spectrum can agree with
It was terrible even before it was politicized.

It's the same gearing as before, a 6:1 reduction.  Theoretical top speed comes out to 4mph.
If possible, you should mirror the video on Youtube as well. Something's weird with the embedded player on your site and it cuts out halfway through for me.

Couldn't see the entire gearbox - did you end up gearing down the motors using worm gears, or did switching out the motor do the trick?

The American College of Pediacritians is a psuedo-scientific conservative group that tries to make people think it's the American Academy of Pediatrics so people will believe their bullstuff
Lol, good catch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_College_of_Pediatricians

This organization was literally founded just to try and prevent gay people from adopting children. GG beachbum.

He outright says the names of the studies in the video. Instead of poisoning the well you could actually watch the loving video and look up the studies yourself.
I found his references. Black Pigeon bases his entire conclusion, that pimozide should be used to treat transgender people, based on this single paper:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8839957

This case study involves one patient, who, according to these researchers, presented 'cross-dressing and a desire for a love change operation' (no actual formal diagnosis of GID), and then improved after taking pimozide (with no follow-up after the study completed).

This is literally about as stuffty as a case study can get before no journal will pick it up. For starters, with a sample size of one, you can't draw any conclusions about whether pimozide did anything because there is no control group. Second of all, even if you had a control group, you basically wouldn't be able to tell whether your results mean anything because your sample size is too small to draw conclusions from.

In other words, Black Pigeon knows literally nothing about how to brown townyze the quality of scientific literature. Why? Because he has no expertise and he's just some douche youtuber that makes political videos. There's your appeal to authority fallacy.

Oh so you didn't watch the video. I'm pretty sure I'm going to trust the multiple pharmaceutical studies that proved that primozide works and the American College of Pediacritians rather then John Moneys bullstuff.
I mean, if you want to link me to the studies, then we can talk about that. I'd just rather not have a discussion about medical science filtered through some Youtube channel mouthpiece for alt-right politics. Whatever commentary 'Black Pigeon' has about medical science is probably worthless since he has virtually zero expertise.

authority kinda matters when we're talking about medical research. there's a big difference in the veracity of what a medical researcher says versus some douche on youtube

2695
No. I do, however support treatment such as Pimozide
I take issue with the fact you're prioritizing the pharmacology of some Youtube amateur over what's actually prescribed by doctors and researchers.

I don't think that image 100% confirms that guy's identity. Please hesitate before starting a witch hunt.

You are comparing a physical problem with a mental problem, a mental problem, might I add, that can be treated with medication and not the slicing of ones genitals.
So you would at least support covering HRT if it works effectively as a treatment for GID? At least until more rigorous studies come out and show if love reassignment is an effective treatment?

i would say beating someone who displays a determination and is very vocal about their desire to rape a small child or beat their girlfriend deserves to catch a fade too even if they havent done it yet. send me to jail, yes, because its assault, but those actions are morally sound imo
Doesn't that create a precedent for other people to start beating up people they disagree with?

when a dad or brother beats the stuff out of someone for raping their daughter/sister
My only problem with this is like - as far as we know, this specific neo-national socialist has never actually lynched a minority or burned down a church. He's just a guy espousing views that are absolute garbage.
