The American College of Paediatrics is not a reputable organization. They are an organization of 200ish medical professionals that incorporate religious doctrine into their press releases. There name is meant to be confused with the American Academy of Pediatrics, which had 64,000 primary care pediatricians and…

1. You are right that non-conforming gender expression is common in LGBT children. That is different gender dysphoria, which happens when your gender identity does not match your assigned gender. One is an objective observation of behavior and preferences, the other is a state of being. Transgender and LGB/Straight…

Uerthra lengthening through the phallus is common in both procedures. I’m guessing more-so with the full-size phallo, but I don’t know any statistics.

Sense of gender and sense of self are different.

For young kids it’s all a social transition, as children are fairly androgynous until puberty. If the trans child is under the care of a trans-competent doctor for from a young age, often they will go on puberty blockers at the very start of their puberty to prevent it from taking place. They usually then wait till…

You could ask about their pronouns. And if they are them/they/theirs or other than the binary, then I think you handled it great. But I’m a transman, maybe somebody can speak to non-binary or agender etiquette.

Here is your TMI: Vaginoplasties: Male-to-female construction of a vagina. Phalloplasties: Female-to-male construction of a phallus (penis). I can’t speak for vaginoplasty, but phalloplasty is a multi-stage surgery that results in a average-cis-sized penis (sometimes above-average). Most phalloplasties take nerve and…

Did Wilson even spend 3 months salary on that? Looks like he might have skimped a little.

It’s not dubious. My wife is a ovarian cancer statistician. She buys it in the literature and has seen it in her own work. And she’s a reliable skeptic after 20 years of researching causes and cures.

Specifically for women that use it on their vulvas, the link to ovarian cancer is very strong (bit I don’t know the effect size). My wife is an ovarian cancer research statistician and is up on the literature.

Though unlike the Scots and the N. Irish, the Welsh voted to leave the EU with the majority of England.

If you haven’t yet and get the opportunity to try a decently-regarded aged Chardonnay, that can also take a little of the CHARDONNAY out of the chardonnay. It can be quite pleasant.

The Chardonnay you’ve had sucks. Most mass market American Chardonnay’s suck. I’ve yet to find a grape which is universally bad. Okay, maybe Gewürztraminer, but I’m convinced somebody can do that grape justice.

Woah, have to totally disagree about Pinot as a good default. It almost always has a very distinct Pinot-specific-barnyard-esque-flavor which is despised by many. Get a blending grape, like Merlot or Petite Syrah or Grenache.

Her skeleton structure is still within the realm of possibility for women. There are most likely female runners in the with similar bone structure to her. However, comparing her to a theoretically always-puberty-blocked version of herself, she has a heavier bone structure. This is actually a disadvantage since she no…

You are missing the point. It’s not that people think he is for personal harassment. Clearly not. People are upset he isn’t actively squashing this kind of crap. Why isn’t he (or his staff) calling these people and saying thanks but no thanks? I see a lot of Bernie memes with manipulative propaganda claiming…

I don’t have a problem with experience tourism as long as 1) it’s done more for understanding and less for internet attention whoring. 2) realizing it’s just a little, itty, bitty window.

I’ll bite. I actually don’t think Bernie or Hillary will fair much better than Obama. Granted, it was another time, but the last Clinton administration was able to push a moderate, compromising agenda through the political grinder. Her team knows how to “make the sausage” of legislation from an executive agenda, which…

I worked for a clothing importer a long, long time ago. Once we processed a huge set of flannel shirts from a factory in China to a customer (chain store) in the midwest. The shirts came from the factory with a $20 retail price tag, but already affixed to the tag (from the same factory) was a red sale sticker that…

Transguy here. Looking at my tiny hands. *sigh*
