I think the point isn't that "psychiatry had caused these suicides", it's more "despite supposedly having all time high numbers of mental health 'experts' they haven't stopped us from killing ourselves at record rates. So have psychiatrists been asleep at their posts or what? They must account for their failure, no?

Are we just going to ignore that a lot of trans-gender people end up effectively sterilized?
Those hormone blockers?
Stops you from going through puberty. You end up chemically sterilized...as a bonus, no Orgasms for you.

If you decide to become part of the trend latter in life.

...well, once they cut your balls off, you're out of the game.

Unless you have some juice freezed, of course.

>In my mind, the main difference between an inclined test machine and an actual hill is, when driving up a hill, the car is overcoming gravity, requiring more energy per distance. While on a machine, I imagine the majority of the mass isn't actually moving at all.
Yes, actual work is done, you're building up potential energy when driving up a hill.
If the rollers are frictionless, this work is not done, no matter (in a reasonable range of course, as long the car doesn't just fall off) how much you incline the whole thing.
You can however simulate it if you can set a resistance to the rollers. No inclining needed for that.
Have a nice day!

It's not an exact science, at least in my case.
If I imagine a full chess board, it's not all sharp and perfectly defined from the far, more like rough contours with pieces like the king sticking out because they're big. (ESL, sorry)
Closer up, whatever I concentrate on is sharp and resembles real life pieces.
We can start playing chess, but my memory, which is far from exceptional, can only hold that many moves, I probably can't even do twenty. TBF, I never was a big chess player, partially probably because of my memory.
Now, someone, for example, describing a tour that they made into a cave. They just tell and my mind builds a 3D model of it. It happens naturally, I don't have to invest energy into that. There are pretty hard limits too, I won't be able to follow say twenty changes of direction and different size, water at the bottom, whatever.
It doesn't really have that much to do with the information my eyes receive either, whatever imaginary stuff is normally imagined, roughly happens in the place where my brain rests, so just in my head. (there is a brain there, I have MRI confirmation). I can push that out and say project into the front of me. But it's all happening in a different space, even if I imagine solid opaque stuff, any actual visual information behind it remains perfectly visible.
