damn is this a new era of tumblr fake stories

is it truly that difficult to believe that some people are just bizarre

out of all the responses from ppl that have never been outside i’d say this is my favorite. like have you never just been in a room with other people that are speaking

Look. You just gotta sit that pretransition trans girl down and make it absolutely clear to her that there is no essential, fundamental barrier that separates her from the hot girls she’s envying. She can do that. They were exactly like her, often less than three years ago. It is fully possible.

Do not let her be scared by the research saying she won’t see much results from HRT. She is safe to get help from you, and you will protect her from underdosages by the doctor.

#please op i really really really hope this is true

Ok so there are famously several real issues that work in our favour as well informed, modern-day, community-supporting transfems:

First, research on feminizing hormone therapy is generally speaking Shit. Aside from mental health indicators which have been extensively mapped, far beyond what’s reasonable to continue investing effort in, very little work has been done on the physical side.

The studies that do exist generally share a few noted flaws:

• Old school dosage regimens and medications
• Very short study durations, often less than two years
• Poor standardization and small groups

You see the problems here. A puberty should generally have enough hormones and time to, you know, work. It’s a bit ridiculous to draw conclusions about the likely results a trans woman can expect based on the two-year timelines of some poor girls who were kept at levels where, if a cis girl had them, it would qualify as an endocrine disorder.

Now, as for guarding against this. Here’s the thing: You can double check your dosages. You can demand that the results of your blood tests are shared with you, and compare them with, for example, Wikipedia’s Reference Ranges For Blood Tests, under “Sex hormones”.

Now, when underdosed, you can refer to the data and say you’re not in the right range. By standards of care, you should be. If your doctor won’t cooperate, make it a problem for them. You are a woman, demand to see the manager. Get a different doctor. Pursue alternative means.

The trans community has your back and can help you figure out the details. Make sure you have friends who’ll protect your bodily autonomy.

One of the things I found in my early transition research was sources claiming giving trans women too many hormones is dangerous.

At this point I am decently confident this is a myth, based on studies that aren’t applicable to us, and out dated drugs that have been improved significantly since these rudimentary studies were done.

Anecdotally my blood pressure hasn’t changed at all no matter what dosage of hormones I’m on or where I am in my cycle, and while there are real risks to giving yourself injections, that applies to literally any injection, and the vast majority of things that require you to break the barrier of your skin.

Transitioning has been absolutely phenomenal for my physical health, it has allowed me to be much more in tune with my body and actually give a shit about my body, where as before I started this process I kind of didn’t care, and never noticed until I actually started to like the body I was living in and feel real agency over my physical form.

Yeah so the blood pressure risk is pretty much entirely from studies of horse estrogen in old women

#HORSE ESTROGEN???

Premarin is short for pregnant mare urine

#HRT#yeah sorry to tell you all this but not only is premarin made from pregnant mare urine#but the foals that result from those pregnancies are usually either sold for meat or trained to be police horses#however synthetic estradiol is derived from sweet potatoes and yams

thank you sweet potatoes. huge win from this vegetable ngl

heyyyy internet leftist… i can’t help but notice that none of your posting involves confessing to crimes on the internet, or revealing details about your on-the-ground activism that could be used to find you in real life? seems suspicious, i’m going to assert that all you ever do is post

#this is bait just in case anyone here hasn’t been told#don’t admit to any involvement in crimes or activism or rebellion online

No, bait is when you’re actually trying to make people respond. This is a parody of fed posting. This is meant to be so blatant that nobody could possibly fall for it. I am learning that I’ve overestimated Tumblr’s literacy.

sorry, should have worded it better, i meant if you see something like this in the wild it’s bait

Thanks for clarifying

“Get a rat and put it in a cage and give it two water bottles. One is just water, and one is water laced with either heroin or cocaine. If you do that, the rat will almost always prefer the drugged water and almost always kill itself very quickly, right, within a couple of weeks. So there you go. It’s our theory of addiction. Bruce comes along in the ‘70s and said, “Well, hang on a minute. We’re putting the rat in an empty cage. It’s got nothing to do. Let’s try this a little bit differently.” So Bruce built Rat Park, and Rat Park is like heaven for rats. Everything your rat about town could want, it’s got in Rat Park. It’s got lovely food. It’s got sex. It’s got loads of other rats to be friends with. It’s got loads of colored balls. Everything your rat could want. And they’ve got both the water bottles. They’ve got the drugged water and the normal water. But here’s the fascinating thing. In Rat Park, they don’t like the drugged water. They hardly use any of it. None of them ever overdose. None of them ever use in a way that looks like compulsion or addiction. There’s a really interesting human example I’ll tell you about in a minute, but what Bruce says is that shows that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. So the right-wing theory is it’s a moral failing, you’re a hedonist, you party too hard. The left-wing theory is it takes you over, your brain is hijacked. Bruce says it’s not your morality, it’s not your brain; it’s your cage. Addiction is largely an adaptation to your environment. […] We’ve created a society where significant numbers of our fellow citizens cannot bear to be present in their lives without being drugged, right? We’ve created a hyperconsumerist, hyperindividualist, isolated world that is, for a lot of people, much more like that first cage than it is like the bonded, connected cages that we need. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. And our whole society, the engine of our society, is geared towards making us connect with things. If you are not a good consumer capitalist citizen, if you’re spending your time bonding with the people around you and not buying stuff—in fact, we are trained from a very young age to focus our hopes and our dreams and our ambitions on things we can buy and consume. And drug addiction is really a subset of that.”

Panel 1: A grayscale person is talking to a green person.

Grayscale: “You know, if anyone can just turn themselves green, there’s lots of problems there. For example, I would stand at intersections so people would see a green person and start walking, causing traffic deaths!”

Panel 2: The grayscale continues explaining while the green person watches in the foreground.

Grayscale: “And you know, that really says something about green people. And their fundamental murderous immorality.”

Green: “No, I. I think it says something about you, actually.”

The real problem with the Hasbro monolith re-defining “indie RPG” to mean “literally any tabletop RPG that isn’t Dungeons & Dragons” is that now when you ask somebody what their favourite obscure indie RPG is, that twelve page zine game about robot catgirls having sex with each other is competing for oxygen with, like, Vampire: The Masquerade, and that’s just not good for the ecosystem.

“Why does anyone care what Hasbro thinks” well, see, the problem is that monopolistic business practices don’t require your approval. If you think this problem exists simply because individual consumers are stupid and need to make better individual choices, I’m afraid you’ve lost the plot!

Like, don’t get it twisted. This issue doesn’t stem from people having bad taste in games – it stems from the fact that Dungeons & Dragons is owned by the same multinational media megacorp that owns Monopoly and My Little Pony. We’re not going to nerd-shame our way out of this one, folks.

If you are a USAmerican in a relationship that might be affected by legislation that dissolves same-sex marriages, who may no longer be recognized as next-of-kin, especially if you have children, get your rights in writing!

Your marriage certificate may not be enough to prove you have rights to make medical decisions for non-biological children or for a same-sex spouse or partner.

Go to a lawyer, get it spelled out as clearly as possible that you have a voice in emergency medical and legal situations.

the liberal mindset is despicable but no exposé or shaming can change the basic fact of most “mutual aid” groups, which is that they are not in fact mutual aid groups at all, but ill-funded and admirably stubborn charities. charities, which structurally do not produce mutual interdependence, are going to have problems with volunteer retention and donation puritanism.

every time i look for clothing it gets more depressing. you mean to tell me they don’t make booty shorts in my size? at all? even the most basic kind with a common design? really? they don’t make this? they don’t have this for me? i’m not allowed? really?

sorry to yap but holy shit this is real:

when you are fat and or pick up weight you really start to remember that the world is NOT made to consider fat people. the most fat friendly clothes are all corporate bland shit you’d throw on to go to the corner store. i realized plus sized people are never really allowed to be involved in having cutesy or alt clothing because companies and the world in general think we don’t belong here.

all the cute and fashionable stuff for fat people is mostly made by other fat people because that’s how dire it is out there. I didn’t want to hijack but it’s something I noticed too.

And I’m watching the video like “whoaaaa what’s it going to be! woodpecker? red-headed woodpecker? eastern whip-poor-will? northern mockingbird? it’s a Bachman’s sparrow? oh, okay. neat.”

I feel like I need to show you a Bachman’s sparrow for this post to truly land.

Oooooh the most bird ever.

omg this is so me my favourite bird is the short-toed treecreeper and.

like. yea…

I’m sorry to admit this and I would never do it in real life because I have an immense respect for wildlife and specifically the delicate nature of birds. That is the most grabbable animal I have ever seen. It looks free for the taking.
