What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

[Rev. Rye]

Wouldn't this be better under the 'what do you know today that you didn't know yesterday' thread or is there a point to this?

You make no commentary and ask no questions.

Edit: Command decision made to move this since Winter fled and didn't give a reason not to move it.

It's explained that Turing opted for hormone theory and probation Vs prison. Says so right in the link provided.

And it turned out that one of the side effects that made him kill himself: he grew breasts.

And for whatever reason, the makers of The Imitation Game really dropped the ball when they covered Turing's "treatment.":




They portray some tremors, but, somehow, Morten Tyldum dropped the ball. It would have been such a perfect visual rendering of how fucked the homophobic systems of Britain was at the time: seeking to cure him of these "unnatural" feelings, they made him into something very unnatural. Imagine if Kiera Knightley opened the door to meet Benedict Cumberbatch, and, before either of them get to say a word, we get to see what it's done to him, and we can see a shock on her face and a strong sense that she's stifling an impulse to say "Oh, my God! You have bigger tits than I have!" I touched a bit on it when I reviewed it for Anglotopia, but I think Jonathan might have softened it a bit in the editing, since I'm not sure I said he developed "a more feminine body." I suppose it might be a bit of a step up from when I saw the movie in theaters with Dad and the first things I said when he asked me what I thought were "Not Enough Bitch Tits."

And another thing I just discovered: apparently, the prosecutor actually thought Turing growing bitch tits would somehow help him grasp his mistake! I don't get it, either.
