see, you wouldn't necessarily pick up on this, but beluga skulls (and most cetacean skulls in general) are pretty much

flat...

so what's going on up there? well, most of the beluga's head is taken up by soft tissue and a large organ called the melon, which is basically a big ol waterballoon of semiliquid fat!

(boob. it's a head boob.)

this organ is found in every toothed whale and dolphin species on the planet and it's INCREDIBLY important, because the melon is what lets them echolocate!

the actual sound-producing organ is inside their nasal passage of all places, which sits up behind there, but the melon is what's actually used to fine-tune the soundwaves into the laser-accurate pinpoints that dolphins and toothed whales are so famous for.

Except homosexuals never wanted any medical treatment to better our mental state. Homosexuality doesn’t cause homosexuals any distress that needs to be treated medically. Homosexuality being classed as a mental illness resulted in homophobes pushing medical treatment on us that we didn’t want to “fix” us. All homosexuals have ever wanted is to be left alone, unmedicalised.

Trans identity on the other hand stems from dysphoria that causes distress that people want medical treatment for. We’re told that dysphoria is so distressing that not treating it with hormones and surgeries leads to suicide. Healthy people who aren’t suffering from mental illness do not require medical treatment to stop them from killing themselves.
