has been underserved by medicine for years, ive heard that E HRT can be really good for them and it clearly sucks not being able to access the Less Suffering Option available for others bc it could put you at cancer risk

yavien.bsky.social @yavien.bsky.social · 2d

also a loose not-a-doctor-thought: if No Sex Hormones is clearly a bad state for the organism and some (peri)menopausal cis women cant take E HRT bc of cancer risk, shouldnt they be offered T HRT as a standard option? yes ikno the article is not abt (peri)menopausal women but still this demographic-

im not american so maybe thats why but why the hell are testoterone IMPLANTS available for cis women as a social media advertised product while within trans medicine ive always heard "sorry yall (E and T wanters) wish for that tech but there are no HRT implants for yall lmao"

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some
There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

I've only heard anecdotal evidence of transmascs with stuff like EDS or de quervains starting T noticing it worsens their symptoms, this is the first time I hear of a potential opposite effect of HRT, but it makes sense that could happen too!

there is a chinese four-character idiom from somewhere or another, 對牛彈琴, literally "play the guqin to a cow" - sorta like "pearls before swine", it means a performance or speech mismatched to audience. but also it results in fantastic images sometimes

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 8d

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way.
Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto-

Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen.
Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic?

Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all.
Extremely realistic Green: Of course.

Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion.
Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag?
Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).

Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 12d

ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.

I'm not even a transfem and yet I felt the existence of (and internalized the brainworms) of this system of control (that transmisogynists refuse the existence of) so deeply! I'll make a longer Tumblr post abt it later in the day I think
