there is no conclusive evidence that the feminizing effects of injectable E are preferable to those of oral E, but injectable is safer long-term (years-long), so eventually switch to injectable. its cheaper also.

use a good anti-androgen. spiro will make you piss and pissed, because it sucks. take bica 50mg or cypro 12.5mg.

take your prog. take 200mg. if youre putting it in your mouth, take more until youre emotional but stable. if youre putting it in your butt - PUTT IT IN YOUR BUTT - take more, but less than you would if it were in your mouth.

work out. work your ass, your thighs, your abs. get sweaty. the more growth hormones you can get through your body, the more effectively your estrogen will feminize you (this includes your tits).

eat more. eat at least 25% more than your maintenance. eat lots of protein, but also lots of fat. your ass and tits will thank you very jiggly.

One of our baby girls is fat, in the 99th percentile for her age. She is super cute and sweet. Lately, she has been sick with various breathing issues, so she has been reluctant to take her bottles. Normally, she’ll take 4 ounces of formula at lunch and 8 ounces in the afternoon. Today, I was lucky to get to her take 5 all day.

There was a substitute covering a lunch break in my classroom today. We emphasized to her that we need to keep trying to get the baby to drink her bottle until she finished it. She said, “Why are you guys so worried about taking her bottle?”

My coworker replied, “That’s where all her nutrients are. She needs the nutrients and the water.”

To which the substitute replied, “But she’s so fat. She doesn’t need it.”

By starving her. She insisted that her baby was ‘too fat’ and had an aim to remove any and all ‘chubbyness’ so her baby would be thin. She’d already been warned by her doctor about the baby not getting enough food, but insisted she knew best.

After several months of this her baby passed out cold one day and was rushed into hospital where the doctors found her to have severe malnutrition, a low body temperature and low pulse rate. They asked my cousin what she’d been feeding her daughter and she said “one bottle of skimmed milk a day. I don’t want her growing up fat.”

Even after nearly killing her daughter my cousin maintained her view that fat = bad and ended up with all her kids taken from her because she was starving them and neglecting them.

When your fatphobia leads you to starving your own children then you’ve got serious problems.

Real

She backed off saying, ‘Well he looks fine!” – proving once again that weight bias is not truly about health – But I know many other parents who are not as informed as I am about weight science and size diversity would react to this interaction by policing their child’s food intake, if not as an infant, then when he was an older child. This is exactly the type of seemingly-inconsequential interaction that starts the ball rolling on a lifetime of dieting, disordered eating, negative body image, and weight-based abuse for too many fat people.

Years later when he was five, another doctor measured his weight and height and commented that he is off the charts on both, but “at least he is in proportion.” And if he was not “in proportion,” I am sure I would have been advised once again to “watch his weight.” 

I no longer allow healthcare providers to weight my children unless it is absolutely medically necessary. They are unable to control their weight talk, which is a known harm for children.

1. The 4 years old daughter of a friend of mine came to our house to spend the weekend. She gave me a letter from her mom that said that the child was in a glutenfree diet because she was getting ‘awfully fat’ when eating cookies or bread (my celiac ass; who gets dhiarrea and loses a scary amount of weight whenever I eat something with gluten was like ’???’).

You can bet that I went to the supermarket with the kid and told her ‘go & take whatever you feel like eating’ and the poor child came back smiling with her arms full of biscuits and cupcakes.

She didn’t got sick (as a celiac would get) and told me later that she hated the diet her mother made her follow; because her cousins didn’t had to pass through that.

And what’s the scariest thing about this story? Her mother was a NURSE. A fucking nurse who didn’t have a clue of the harm that she was doing to her daughter’s body!

2. My little sister started to feel fatigued and dizzy at 9 years old. She felt nauseated at the sight of food and had abdominal pain that increased with physical activity.

Mom got her to the ER and the doctor dismissed it saying: ‘she’s fat and probably is feeling ill after eating too much burgers, get her to make some exercise and she will be better in no time’.My mom didn’t felt ok with the diagnosis and took my sister with a second doctor who also told her that ‘the child was just fat’.

My sister’s skin was starting to get yellow as the days passed and the abdominal pain was getting awful so my mom (heaven bless her!) got her to the ER for the third time:

SHE HAD STAGE 4 HEPATITIS AND WAS ABOUT TO DIE.

She survived after a long and painful recovery who involved being in bed for a whole year (remember that we’re speaking of a 9 years old child). Luckily they saved her liver and she didn’t went through a transplant… but let this sink:

If it weren’t for my mother, fatphobia would have killed her. Fatphobia kills kids and teenagers, fatphobia kills inocent people everyday. It treats human beings as lesser than others and hurts them in their most vulnerable times.

FUCKING TAKE NOTE OF THIS!

My mum had endo. Her mum had endo. My sister (who is thin) was treated for endo, but I couldn’t possibly have it. I was just fat.

I was also forced to exercise until I literally passed out - which happened often because I was malnourished and also because I had a hard time breathing. Which was, of course, attributed to me being fat and out of shape.

Since I was a small child, I complained of breathing difficulty while exercising and was told if I lost weight, it would get better.

The year I turned 30, I moved to an extremely cold place. I arrived in the summer and was walking to work and back (40 min each way) every day. When the weather got very cold, suddenly I couldn’t even walk to the bus stop a block and a half away without needing a break to catch my breath. I knew it couldn’t possibly be me being out of shape because the change was so sudden. I went to a doctor and was diagnosed with extremely severe asthma. Biggest triggers: cold air and exercise.

The doctor cut right through her lower stomach then just stitched her up, not bothering to properly reattach the two sides to each other and completely fucked up her stomach muscles for the rest of her life.

His reasoning? Well she was already fat what did it matter if she couldn’t suck in her stomach or flex her lower abdominal muscles on that side anymore?

I legit, refused to allow her to dismiss it anymore. I got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but definitely have more issues with my spine than expected.

It’s taken over a decade for my health to really be addressed and my continuing back pain and issues with inflammation and my digestive system is only now being taken seriously after I lost a load of weight (from stress, lack of sleep, lack of proper nutrition and more) in the last 4 months.

Blood test results mark me as having heightened markers for inflammation and decreased red blood cells and possible malnutrition (yeah, really) and this is only being addressed BECAUSE I’ve lost weight.

It is unfair that weight is the thing that is focused on when people come in with medical issues. Especially women.

Great! We've agreed that drug addicts shouldnt go to prison! But youre still not quite there.

Quite a few times throughout my addiction i was faced with this ultimatum: go to some sort of rehab/detox center or we cut you off. I went out of fear, not because i wanted to get clean or help myself and yknow what the first thing i did was when i left rehab? more heroin. I just got better at hiding it out of fear of losing friends/family. (The only reason I'm clean now is because my most recent trip to rehab was one that I initiated myself.)

And that is exactly what will happen if people are forced to go to a rehab center instead of prison. Its about as helpful as sending them to prison for the same thing. And its dangerous as well because the majority of deaths from drug overdoses are relapses. Forcing addicts into prison OR rehab when they do not want it is guarenteed to result in deaths.

Forcing someone to be held in a facility against their will due to their addiction doesnt really sound like "decriminalization" to me. That sounds like a better prison.

What it really comes down to is this: addicts deserve to be treated well whether or not theyre trying to get better. Addicts deserve food and shelter just like everyone else no matter what. Their life does not become more valuable just because they got clean or theyre working on themselves. Their lives are already valuable because they are a human being. The idea of a life being "valuable" is fascist shit anyways but this is the only kind of language yall internet leftists seem to understand.

The answer is and always has been harm reduction and voluntary treatment.

I know you would like to think that if we just forced them to go to rehab theyd come out the other side perfect and remain clean forever but thats not reality. It doesn't lead me to believe you actually know anything about extreme addictions. You need to work on cleansing yourself of this internal conditioning that tells you people have to get clean, that we have to force them to get clean, because it won't work. Harm reduction and therapy is the answer and with harm reduction and therapy comes, a lot of times, voluntary recovery that will last a lifetime.

Forced rehab will do absolutely nothing.
