I don’t think that’s fair - I have friends who went through a years-long messy, expensive divorce and the things Mom told the kids about Dad were horrendous and false. Years later, as young adults, they told Dad about those things and managed (somehow) to restore their relationship. But it wasn’t without years of…

Honestly, I don’t expect a whole lot of forward motion from a Biden administration. So much effort is going to be needed just to start repairing the damage Trump has done. That would be true no matter who the nominee was.

LuAnn is so much trash. But she doesn’t choose to idenitfy as trash which is sad because once you lean into the Whiskey Tango it is super fun.

SPEAKING OF DRAG RACE, Fuck!

All I can really tell you is that there are many, many good things in my life I would give up in a heartbeat to be able to go back in time and stop the wrong puberty - even beyond considerations of passing, it’s genuinely traumatic, in a way that I don’t know if you really ever fully recover from.

What’s even better is the crazy story of how shithead Jordan Peterson’s daughter got him & his wife on an all-meat diet, and how that lead to depression, malnourishment, cancer, and drug addiction:

lol, she was probably like “sorry, I’m not interested”, but he took it as “I can’t get a date because vegans!!!!”

Blockers prevent puberty, which prevents the growth of the penis. Surgeons need the tissues of the penis to construct a vagina. Tiny penis, not enough tissues for a vagina.

From what little understanding I have of it, blockers delay or slow down the normal genital grown associated with puberty. In the case of Jazz Jennings, the blockers worked against her in some ways. She didn’t have enough natural grown below to give sufficient tissue for the surgeons to work with. It made the surgery…

Lest you all think this is a joke, it is not!

How dare you mock this very humble man who you should thank for having a job as he once single-handed lay stopped world war 3, something he definitely didn’t make up and then brought up for attention!

I will say this: hormones are magic! They go a long way towards moving that needle, and you’d be amazed how much they can do. I started in my mid-20s, and I’m still in the process-but I wouldn’t give it up for the world. 

Yeah I can barely do that now and I’m 41 lol

THe question isn’t really whether you WANT to transition, or whether you NEED to transition. The world’s first M-to-F surgery was carried out on a patient who was in her forties, and the worlds first F-to-M surgery was on a patient in his mid thirties. Even now, I believe the average age at which people have GRS is…

Funny, then, that science — proper science, not the stuff you learned as a ten-year old, but the kind carried out by highly trained and qualified researchers and doctors, with years of specialised study and experience — recognises that gender incongruence is a real clinical condition, only tenuously related to “body…

You sound like an amazing parent, and I wish I had a parent like you when I was younger that was open to listening to me about these kinds of things. I’m a non-binary person, assigned female at birth, and even without being a binary trans person (ie. mtf or ftm), I would give up so much not to go through puberty the…

Go be transphobic somewhere else, asshat.

Lol. The irony of this statement from someone who fundamentally doesn’t get what this surgery does. 

What science are you pointing to exactly?
