It took a long time but I think I may have finally found my name. Looking around there isn’t anyone to share it with

Howdy! I’ve got a new @slate.com story, about some really fascinating work researcher @cantonwiner.bsky.social is doing around asexuality and a concept he coined called “gender detachment”
A Researcher Was Studying How to Classify Gender—and Found a Startling New Answer
Turns out there’s more to the gender spectrum than we’d imagined.

TRANS HEALTHCARE TROLLEY PROBLEM
A runaway trolley is set to roll down the empty track, saving the trans people.
However, that guy over there might voluntarily walk onto the train track.
Do you pull the lever, sacrificing the trans people to protect that one guy from possibly making a mistake?

Great thread, covers a lot of thoughts I had about HRT
The physical changes that come from HRT are important, and I don't want to downplay that here. I love how my body has changed from HRT.
However, even if I had no physical changes from HRT whatsoever, I would still take it. Because the mental changes saved my life.

This whole thread is excellent, and addresses something that I didn't understand when my daughter came out as a teen. HRT isn't just about shaping the body (though that's important!), it's about giving the whole person, body & brain, what they need to work as a harmonious whole.
It's not about one hormone being better than the other.
It's about having the correct hormone balance that works FOR YOU. The one that works in your brain. In your body.
