Hormones absolutely affect more than cosmetic things.

I started hormone replacement therapy 2 months ago. I spent four decades before that wanting to commit suicide.

I still mostly look like a man and my mental health has vastly improved. I’m less defensive less reactionary more open. I get a long better with everybody in my life.

Including myself.

Being congruent with your gender both chemically and socially helps people feel more joy happiness and self-acceptance.

That is not cosmetic and you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Like I said in an earlier comment you’re not a doctor. And you cite doctors that aren’t specialists in the field who have an agenda.

Seriously mind your own business and let parents and doctors that actually understand this stuff take care of kids that need life-saving treatment.

And while you’re at it maybe look up the study that was just done about how suicide rates in trans youth are 70% higher states deny health care to trans youth.

In other words educate yourself before having an opinion about something you know nothing about.

Billionaires and large corporations are destroying our future. I think placing the blame where it belongs isn’t playing the victim but calling attention to ongoing abuse.

I don’t personally advocate for violence but rather solidarity.

A global strike would be an appropriate action. As would raiding corporate stores for food and clothing. But people’s material conditions make it hard to go without a paycheck and still survive. And state violence makes the idea of stealing from large corporations frightening.

It’s all dialectics.

But that doesn’t mean large corporations aren’t to blame for our planet burning. And blame should be placed where it belongs. Not on those being abused and suffering.

Noise in a RNG. Hungry, more likely to give into majority opinion so I can get back to brunch!

The vast majority of doctors that specialize in gender care and endocrinology disagree with that small minority of doctors who aren’t specialists in this field.

It’s like asking a dentist for their opinion on brain surgery. They’re not qualified to have one.

Buddhism helped me to understand my mental health better.

The cycling of the five hindrances accounts for both BPD (desire/anger/doubt) and BD (sloth and torpor/restlessness and worry).

Living at the edge of hypomania isn’t happiness or joy. It’s restlessness prior to delirium setting in.

Anyway, addressing my trauma and learning to accept myself has made the whole system workable and allowed me to find actual joy rather than losing myself in one exciting thing after another .

But I have to keep up my self care or the hindrances will take over in order to try to take care of the system in much less skillful ways. They mean well but lack wisdom.

Maybe they just want a future where billionaires aren’t burning down the planet.

Course they could pick up pitchforks and take matters into their own hands. Quit blaming other people for their problems right?

I thought that was the GOP

I mean the first person to come to mind when I heard victim mentality was Donald Trump.

I think whoever framed the presumption of innocence and proof beyond a reasonable doubt felt that way.

Jurors themselves are complicated. Some people are racist, some people are just hateful, some people respect authority so much that they’ll just believe whatever the district attorney says. All of these conditions can create a situation where the jury won’t reach consensus easily .

And pretty much everybody just wants to get back to brunch and taking care of their families.

I think what you are speaking to is values. What I’m talking about is emotions as they are felt in the moment and how those will affect a jury’s outcome.

Hence people are not computers.

And you sound like Tucker Carlson to me.

If you’re not a doctor or a parent of trans youth how about you mind your own business and stop being so weird.

Or do you not believe in small government?

Just asking questions here.

It’s to keep the American dream alive.

You know, the dream of one day being filthy rich so you can shit on people beneath you.

They’re suing now. Should they have put up an armed militia?

No

People aren’t machines and don’t weigh data the way machines do.

It’s more like this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospect_theory

He kept nodding his head during the debate like he was agreeing with Harris.

My thought was he was listening to a coach in his ear.

Hi sky. Sorry you’re struggling right now.

I’m also transfem. The Trevor project is about the only suicide hotline I trust. I’ve had the pigs show up calling other numbers. And I have police trauma so that’s a no go.

Anyway, a lot of what you posted sounds like it could be the dysphoria talking. You feeling like you’re disgusting and worrying others view you that way too.

This isn’t my primary account. I mostly hang out on hexbear in the trans mega. It’s been a huge support for me.

Shit can feel dark sometimes. Try to do something gender affirming. You’re not disgusting. Trans is beautiful. And beauty isn’t about looks, but having the courage to be ourselves.

Much love comrade. If you ever hang out in the trans mega on hexbear. Say hi to comrade_rain. I hear she has the heart of a frog.

That would be perfect lol

Colonial capitalism working as intended.

Would make more sense if it was two female characters.

Plus, the oligarch already has a utility belt.

He’s a rich fascist and a threat to life on this planet.

I don’t care to analyze more deeply than that.
