Thanks for the heads up. That’s good to know.

You accuse me of phobia.

No, I don’t. That was referring to the parent post.
Thanks for the lesson in not engaging in arguments unless absolutely necessary. What a fucking shit show.

Then can you, please, extend your respect and kindness to not indulge the actual transphobic misinformation there? As well as not stoking the flames over a single downvote? This shit is derailing the fun thread.

By noticing people complaining about it :) Also being aware of certain biases and such, and looking for the existence of posts that would be deleted if the bias was heavy, etc.

Sure, some stuff might fall under the radar or stay for a long time, definitely a thing.

I think many people feel this way, and I think in many cases another thing that plays into it is not realising the amount of good moderators, because good moderation usually doesn’t make as much noise as when it’s bad.

If I think of all the communities in lemmy/piefed I like, the perfect/near perfect moderation from my browsing heavily outweighs anything problematic.

I apologize, and thank you for your patience. I didn’t quite get your point about origin of strike.

It sounds pretty damn dodgy to me. But, yes, there is no verification of the strike’s origins to my knowledge.

Actually there is at least some verifying material:

From the last image of the Factmeh presentation

A map of the “Asef Guards Barracks” area shows that the Shajareh Tayyebeh IRGC Navy Girls’ School is located within the compound.

However, so far, the attacks of the US and Israel against Iran have been very precise and only legitimate military targets and personnel have been hit.

For that to be true, you’re gonna have to discount all this (more pending):

• school staff eye-witnesses speak of the strike, including of rescue efforts that match Revolutionary Guard footage shared on telegram.
• factchecking service used by major news org verifies video of the site-post impact.
• reuters verifies the same video
• Journalist in Iran aljazeera trusts enough to use his reporting ON IRAN, says there is more verification beyond the governmental statements.

Honestly, I shouldn’t even be listing these, when they are almost as concisely available in the linked updates.

It’s also not unheard of that Israel targets schools, children, incubators, etc. on purpose and washes the narrative by targeting journalists and lying.

Like, has Germany even started calling it a genocide yet? You say it’s typical Iran. But do you acknowledge, it’s typical Israel that their horrors immediately get denied, put into question, etc.?

No, journalists allowed into the country do not count, as they only get to report what the regime allows them to.

Iran is not the US or Europe, and you won’t see much of reality if you only accept it on a silver-platter.

Do actual eye-witnesses count, at least?

God this is complicated, top-level comment of where I wanted to micro-update got deleted.

So it will be here, though I don’t think there will be much more to say.

earlier update

Reporting from Tehran, Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Vall said of the attack on the girls’ school, “There are new reports confirming the number of people killed in that strike has now gone above 40. […]”

Recent updates

source

A staff member at the Minab school, who asked not to be named, told Middle East Eye she remains in shock at the intensity of the attack.

Through tears, she said she used to watch the young girls playing at school every day. After today’s strikes, however, she saw their bodies lying on classroom benches and in different corners of the school.

Pinging @diplomjodler3@lemmy.world FYI

Gonna micro-update here.

Yeah, that’s what I meant by

and saying that pretty much every news org is gonna take that statement right now is understandably not enough sometimes

Sorry, I can’t express what’s on my mind right now. I guess we can talk about this again once the situation there is more or less independently verified. :)

Friend…

I don’t wanna put skepticism down like this, and saying that every pretty much every news org is gonna take that statement right now is understandably not enough sometimes… Maybe somebody can articulate this better why it’s nonsense not to roughly believe this right now.

OP, I think this belongs to !politicalvideos@lemmy.world / !politicalvideos@sopuli.xyz or maybe also !progressivepolitics@lemmy.world

sounds like an interesting video though :)

That’s some really good news! Congrats!

Damn, what a compliment. Thank you.

I’m also puzzled by this choice of words.

Looking at the study, ‘female’, or ‘feminisation’/‘feminization’ isn’t used once. But ‘oestrogen’ appears a lot. I guess some of these materials interfere with hormone activity and they call that feminisation? Still puzzled.

Bisphenols: Mostly used in the manufacturing of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, bisphenols are endocrine disruptors that mimic oestrogen , potentially leading to metabolic disorders, reproduc- tive issues, and increased cancer risk even at trace concentrations (Maffini et al., 2006; Rochester & Bolden, 2015)

PhP (Triphenyl phosphate): The most prevalent OPFR in our samples, TPhP is a confirmed endocrine disruptor (Hu et al., 2023; Li et al., 2025). It interferes with oestrogen and thyroid hormone axes (Ji et al.,

2022. and is linked to obesity and metabolic changes (Wang et al., 2019)

BPA (Bisphenol A): Binds to oestrogen receptors and alters gene expression and hormone activity (Alon- so-Magdalena et al., 2012). BPA has been detected in amniotic fluid, placental tissue, and umbilical cord blood, indicating transplacental transfer. Studies have confirmed that BPA can migrate from synthetic materials into artificial sweat (Wang et al., 2019), and dermal absorption is well established (Toner et al., 2018). These findings led to the EU ban of BPA in thermal receipt paper in 2020, although it has been widely substituted with BPS (ECHA, 2020)

BPAF (Bisphenol AF): Demonstrates stronger oestrogenic activity than BPA and is increasingly used in thermal paper and plastic applications (Moreman et al., 2017)

RDP (Resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate)): Used as a substitute to TPhP, RDP is an emerging neurotox- in and acts as an endocrine disruptor that interferes with thyroid and oestrogen pathways. It has been linked to metabolic imbalances in animal studies (Xie et al., 2023). Scientists report stronger oestrogen- ic effects than TPhP and RDP´s exposure showing metabolic disorders in rats and their offspring (Liu et al., 2023).
