It’s histamine, not histamines.

I know it might be confusing because there are different types of antihistamines, but that plural refers to how the drugs interact with the receptors in the body, not the chemical itself.

Different antihistamines target different receptors in the body to address specific issues. So, for example, Zyrtec targets h1 receptors which primarily mediate allergic reactions related to the respiratory system, while h2 blockers, like Pepcid, target the receptors in the GI tract. When combined, people are finding they can help alleviate PMDD which is great.

There is not, however a different histamine that affects your sinuses and another that affects your gut. It’s all just one chemical, but it can be picked up by different pathways in the body, hence why we have h1 and h2 blockers. (We also have h3 and h4 receptors and probably more I’m forgetting about right now that can be targeted by different medications. Neat!)

Similar to how the body has different histamine receptors, MCAS is not exclusively a histamine issue. It can be the main issue for many people, but it is rarely the sole issue.

There are hundreds of chemical compounds contained in a single mast cell and when those cells degranulate, it’s the equivalent of taking a Molotov cocktail to the immune system. Histamine is merely one of them.

Telling someone with MCAS they must have something else because eating low histamine isn’t helping them, is not only arrogant, it is shockingly ignorant and frankly fucking insulting.

People with this disorder know more than you.

It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently can’t be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. “All men including trans men—” probably not. “This is only a woman’s issue—” is it really? “Afabs only—” why? “All trans men are like—” what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Sources beyond dude just trust me, for the skeptics.

It was suggested by my Trusted Advisor, who's constantly tenting his fingers and laughing about how everything is "going as planned."

Immense, overwhelming love for trans women.

Immense, overwhelming love for non binaries.

Immense, overwhelming love for the genderless.

It's Gonna Be Me

But the era of boy bands was lawless and not in the sexy way. There was no real requirement for personal talent. And in lieu of that, many performers leaned heavily into weird gimmicks.

Like exaggerated pronunciations.

And though they surely did not know it, whoever decided to leave a note for the lead singer (perhaps he decided it himself) along the lines of "Emphasize the 'Me'" had set history in motion.

The titular line was sung like "It's gonna be May"

Which absolutely nobody liked, and was a choice questioned by even diehard fans.

Other things that were perplexingly popular in this ancient age of musical fuckboys included: bad dye jobs and perms on people whom nature had never intended to wear curls.

And thus, as he sang "It's gonna be May" with the dedicated inflection of a drunken bar creep, he did so with a hairdo that looked like an uncooked ramen cake.

I am being so serious right now. An educated populace is good for everyone. Society should be nothing but encouraging to those trying to learn.
