    Of course people hypothesized continents have drifted, but that wasn’t widely accepted until a mechanism of how that could have happened was proposed. I don’t think xkcd was suggesting that nobody had the idea of continental drift before 1967, just that it wasn’t the consensus.




















  • but i didn’t notice anything specifically transphobic about it.

    It might not sound transphobic to the uneducated, but many points she peddled in that video (esp. the Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria stuff) and used by transphobic groups to discredit trans people. And the fact she is trying to discreetly legitimize transphobic dog-whistles should be a huge red flag.

    There is a very good video (not related to Sabine) that explains all this stuff:

    Be warned, it’s 5 hours long. (Yes, there is a lot to explain, and there is a lot of bad stuff there.)
