I’m glad to know this for the future, thank you.

But existing tissue can’t actually be turned in to a functioning penis. It can look like a penis and you can get a pump to give it an erection but it can’t become erect on its own and the pumps can get infected and fall out. If this becomes standard procedure it could actually be a great option. I’m hopeful.

Exactly. You donate your organs to medicine, you do not bestow them on an individual of your druthers.

Especially because you can’t choose who gets your heart or other organs either, you can only specify which organs you allow to be donated - at least that’s how it is done in Germany

A living donor, sure. If you’re deceased, no. If discrimination against trans people is okay, is it also okay for someone to specify that their organs may only go to a Christian, or to a white person, or to someone who’s never been arrested? It’s a huge rabbit hole, and transplant decisions often need to be made…

They already give families the option to parse between organ and tissue donation, too. A lot of tissue donation is used for procedures that improve quality of life, which a procedure for someone trans seems like it includes, and it’s not as if deceased donors of either organs or tissues have a say in deciding what…

Human bodies are so fucking cool! Like, it’s actually possible to attach someone else’s body part to your own and, if done properly, your body is like “Welcome to the party, brah. Let’s get you up and running. Please ignore the liver; he’s cranky AF on Mondays.” Science, man.

Well, I certainly don’t approve of what they did but you know, Republicans are always saying they want immigrants to really embrace the American way of life.

There’s a reason his wife was found along the side of a highway weeping.

Per Billy Eichner’s tweet; to everyone who utters the cop-out “There’s no difference between Democrats and Republicans, so why bother?”. Just look at the GOP candidates responses “We’re praying”. The Democrats say “let’s fucking do something!”

The photo of her grandfather has appeared in books about the beliefs of the Inuit people. He grandfather designed the garment, and her grandmother created it. The hand prints on the front are to prevent the wearer from being pushed into the sea. This information is all from the various news articles that have been…

Well if a white girl in America wore a sari to, say, an Indian wedding, it would be appropriate. But since typically the only people who wear saris out and about in America are older Indian women (who grew up in India), it’s worth a side eye when a white girl wears one. Did you grow up in India? No? Then...are you…

Context is everything. A white Latina friend of mine wore a sari in a Hindu wedding ceremony when marrying her Indian-American husband. She wears a sari when celebrating religious and family events with her Indian in-laws. That is perfectly appropriate.

You're a designer. Design something. It's not just that they ripped off sacred symbols- they also didn't give a crap about reworking any of the elements into an original design. It's basically a forgery.

“We sincerely apologize to you and anyone who felt offended by our work as it certainly wasn’t our intention.” Translation: “I mean come on. They’re Inuit! Who pays attention to Inuit?”

Not to mention that being in the club isn’t the most fun thing ever. I’m Non-Binary and completely glossed over. It’s not fun to be invalidated and have other people think that they know you better than you know yourself.
