I think it's really funny that Japanese also has a word for "Edgelord" but theirs translates to "8th grader"

what is happening on the dash......

All things considered, the human body is quite incredible. The fact you can just feed it the right cocktail of hormones, and the body will adapt and start behaving in accordance with the opposite sex without any issue or complaint... like business as usual... It sounds a little fantastical, doesn't it... We sometimes feel sad about the lack of "gender change magic" in our world, but it really is perfectly attainable if you secure the right dose... Ease of access is a moral obligation, I think.

What fucks me up is that the actual concentration of estradiol is so small it's measured in picomols (pico = one trillionth). If there's 750 pmol/L in you, that amounts to only about a single microgram in your whole body – one billionth of a gram. What the fuck??? For comparison, my daily Adderall dose is 40,000 times that much!

I guess that's how even just absorbing it through the skin can be effective.... it's strong stuff...

please, write to staff and complain about the continual ban of trans women, especially if you're not a trans woman yourself. i'm under no illusion the equivalent of a strongly worded letter will stop them but they should at least know we're all seeing this and taking note

they think nobody cares outside of the relatively small group of trans women, and the even smaller group of outspoken transfeminist trans women, the ones primarily targeted, in part because enabling rampant transmisogyny for so long on this site has made it so it's not completely untrue. we should try and make it different. if you care in the slightest about the women being terminated -many of whom rely on this site for income- please say something about it

Everyone keep sending your attacks. She can't protect him forever

like thats the big thing, regardless of whether or not any of the individual transfem users who get banned Deserved those bannings, pointing out the double standard in where and when terms of service are actually held up is the big thing here. sometimes bigotry doesn't look like giving marginalized people consequences for No Reason sometimes bigotry looks like making sure marginalized people receive consequences for their actions overwhelmingly more frequently than privileged groups. deciding who you actually enforce your rules against is a big way this sort of thing manifests.

chatgpt didn’t invent the emdash and they can’t fucking have it. it’s mine.

do you know how funny it is that the CEO of this website has an active blog here and posts regularly about his management decisions and business philosophy and he is so widely and deeply despised by the userbase that he averages 3-6 notes per post. the admin, our lowtax. everyone knows his URL and has shit to say about his decisions and he's still a zero note warrior. on a purely functional level he might be a worse poster than elon musk.

southern american politicians will be like "m'name's buck bingo and i'm a hard worker...... just like y'all" and he's an private school + ivy league educated guy actually named buckley beaumont carlisle who was born into a family who owned slaves and still profits from it to this day. and people eat that shit up.

last night i went on a crazy wikidive lol
