apropos of nothing thinking about the psychology today article i read yesterday talking about how upwards of 50% of people with suicidal ideation don't disclose it to mental health professionals, acknowledging the role that fear of institutionalization plays in that, and then ends with "and that's why we need better screening tools to identify ppl with suicidal ideation even when they're lying to us"

Ive somehow discovered egg_irl and im absolutely hate how i relate to like 95% of the posts there

I genuinely fucking hate it because every single post hits the bullseye every single time

You fool. Idiot. Nincompoop. Why do you think that is.

going on HRT is a serious decision you should make with the utmost gravity. people might think you're cool, badass even. You might find yourself happy with your life, approaching the world with newfound wisdom one way or another. It might be what you want. It might get you off. It might just be a cool story to tell people. I, myself, found the initial experience was like I had sleepwalked through a nightmare for a quarter century - and for the first time, not just the first time I could remember but actually the first time, I was awake, and the sun was shining, and the world was beautiful. So obviously all of those are risks

tetanus fact: it's an old wives' tale that tetanus is caused by rusty metal. it's actually caused by puncture wounds substantially deeper than they are wide, which introduce ubiquitous anaerobic spores (i.e. the "seeds" of single-celled organisms which cannot grow if exposed to oxygen) into a warm, poorly-oxygenated space in the body. so receiving shallow cuts from a rusty knife is not likely to give you tetanus but puncture wounds from clean but non-sterile objects can. this is great news if you like receiving superficial wounds from rusty knives and blades and swords all over your dumbass body

elizabeth holmes has been spotted soaking lady fingers in a clear colorless liquid. sources close to the entrepreneur claim she is working to "revolutionize tiramisu" by using just a few drops of coffee diluted in water. early testers described the result as tasting "like shit." undeterred, holmes insists that a breakthrough is imminent. her company, theramisu, is currently valued at $150.

the only difference between me and my gf is she got different hormones in utero. i wish people could see that being trans was really more of a medical thing. your brain Literally feels relieved and balenced once you get hrt into you- it's not just that it starts changing the physical aspects of your body that make you feel better! and its because its really a hormone disorder and your brain and body medically need the correct hormones!

We're many years away from good research on the topic, but sex hormones are neuroactive steroids, it's entirely believable that HRT tangibly improves the state of your brain on a biological level.
