  • I think one of the biggest issues standing in the way of widespread acceptance of trans people is generally not understanding what we actually do or are like.

    So like, most people completely misunderstand how hrt works. They think that you do it and only really get a better mental space. But that’s not true at all. Everyone I have known on hormones get so many changes. Our hairlines can change, our bone density decreases or increases to match the gender your hormones match with, our bodies redistribute fat, our skin changes, even our body smells change, we lose or gain muscle mass to again come in line with whatever our hormones match. Our body chemicals change. Estrogen can decrease the size of your feet by a size and can literally make your hips grow and change how your weight is distributed. Testosterone can make you grow a full bushy as fuck beard and a such a deep voice you’ll never know the person ever had a higher pitched one. Everything changes on hormones and cis people just don’t seem to understand that at all. I’ve known many trans people who transition so well that other trans people don’t believe they’re trans and think they’re cis.

    Add on that they don’t understand bottom surgery and it just gets annoying as fuck. The fact that cutting dicks off is still how so many cis people think femme bottom surgery works is so fucking infuriating and it happens when leftists reference it too.

    I think if more cis people simply knew trans people and were willing to discuss with them about what being trans is like then there would be more general acceptance.


  • So the plan for this competition is having 3 scoring categories, apparently. So a “biological male”, a “biological female”, and a trans category. So trans men and women will compete against each other.

    Or, they would, if there was any more than the one athlete that is competing. Which means she will win, even if she fucking walks. This is insane and is the bullshit “separate but equal” thing people keep talking about being the supposed “solution”.

    Trans people don’t dominate sports and there aren’t enough for them to have their own leagues. If you think they do dominate then you’re obviously misinformed. Trans people have been allowed to compete in sports for a long time and there has never been a problem with it, until fucking Republicans needed a new boogeyman to galvanize their base.

    Fuck Newsom. Fuck Trump. And fuck anyone who refuses to actually try to understand the reality of being trans and the reality of just wanting to play sports like everyone else.



  • I highly doubt Biden knew he had this specific cancer back then just because it seems incredibly unlikely he would find that out and just not get any treatment for it until he was out of office. It just doesn’t feel likely. You don’t just get told “hey you have cancer” and then not do anything about it at all. Especially when you’re rich and have the money. And when you’re the fucking President and have the best medical care available to you in the entire country all for free.

    Course if we find out he was on chemotherapy back then then I’m obviously wrong. But I think that’s the only thing that could directly point to him knowing he had cancer back then.

    Biden is known for his gaffes so it’s just more likely that’s what was going on in this 2022 speech.


  • In Highschool I took health and it was the diagrams of the different junk, pictures and videos about STDs, saying most birth control doesn’t actually work very well (e.g. Condoms have a 36% success rates at prevent STDs or pregnancy) so it’s best to sign a card swearing you’ll be abstinent until marriage. Only one person signed the card since we were, thankfully, given a choice. No talking about being gay, since it’s a red state. They spent more time on a bunch of different drugs than sex.

    Before high school there wasn’t really “sex” ed, just showing videos about puberty and ways to check for cancer/lumps. But I went to a Catholic school before highschool. There also might have been stuff about how Masturbation is bad in the Catholics “sex ed”.
