Fill The Void

I've been spending far too much of my time trying to learn medieval illumination techniques

one of my first semi-successful attempts at fore edge painting! done on an old paperback of aesop's fables.

Trans kids may take puberty blockers, or hormones that temporarily suppress puberty,  to postpone their puberty, i.e. stopping puberty from feminizing or masculinizing their bodies before they are old enough to decide on whether to go for hormone treatments and/or surgery. 

Anti-trans activists argue that such drugs are dangerous. Science says they are not.

A fact that is often lost in this debate is that puberty-blockers have been used for years by cis (non-transgender) kids.  None of the anti-trans activists have ever complained about this. Why?

Vice reports:

“Puberty blockers have been used for decades in cisgender kids who either are going through puberty too early, or, in some instances, kids who are going through puberty very quickly,” Jason Klein, a pediatric endocrinologist and Assistant Director of the Transgender Youth Health Program at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, told VICE. 

“Their use has been FDA approved, well-studied, well-documented, and well-tolerated for a long time now. And it’s the exact same medication that we use in trans or nonbinary children to basically put a pause on pubertal development. Exactly the same medications, at exactly the same doses.” 

The Republican anti-trans bills leave exceptions specifically for cis kids.The  laws target puberty blockers only when used in transgender health care.

In other words: They do this not in order to protect trans kids, but to preserve a transphobic society.

the question at hand is not “is scarjo a poor pitiable victim,” the question is “does Disney, as a corporate entity, have an obligation to fulfill its contracts, carry out its obligations, and keep its promises” and, yes? the answer is absolutely yes? your feelings on scarjo as a person should have absolutely zero bearing on the answer to this question

I have two tabs open. one is tumblr. I am 160 posts back on my dashboard - I have made it back to the place I left off the night before.

satisfied, I open the second tab to pull up a post-avengers fanfic. everyone lives together in stark tower - each of them has their own floor. for no explained reason, loki shares thor’s. no one questions that he has not been arrested. the team has friday evening movie nights. at breakfast, thor eats all of tony’s pop tarts.

But what I love about Harry Potter isn't the Word of Canon, it's the community we've built independent of the shitty canon Joanne gave us. It's the memories I made while reading and sharing it with friends. It's the idea of a fantasy world hidden along with ours where people will just accept you. It's the world we as fans built in spite of what we were given.
