Filthy Sapphic

[video description: a video by thegentlebarn. it starts with a clip of people grooming a cow's snout with the caption, "5 signs a cow is truly ✨ happy ✨." each of the captions describing the signs is accompanied by clips of cows exhibiting them. they are:

"1. they expose their belly for tummy rubs as a sign that they trust you 2. they initiate gentle physical contact like licking or hugging you 3. they're chewing cud - this means they feel safe & their digestive system is doing its thing 👍 4. zoomies! just like with dogs, this is most often a playful, happy behavior 5. they make a 'purring' sound - cows do this when they're extremely relaxed and content. it's like a big exhale"

And trans women are still women.

as someone who relies on various medicines to stay alive, im sooooo glad this person has put into words exactly how i feel about the whole ‘life saving hormones’ thing!!!!

Gender dysphoria is a major cause of anxiety and depression for transgender individuals - and this is especially true for transgender teenagers who are also dealing with the fact that they are dealing with puberty in a body that they feel like they do not belong in.

A lot of these kids will try to commit suicide when dealing with dysphoria and unable to access these hormones.

I agree that hormones are not life-saving in the same way as insulin is. But I am not going to deny that they do save lives.
