I’m a Mess, but I’m the Mess that you Wanted

The total area of solar panels it would take to power the world, Europe, and Germany

I don’t care how many times I see this I will always reblog it

Stop spending money on war and lies and start spending it on ways to make this planet better.

I saw someone’s argument against trying to stop global warming and it was literally “What if global warming is fake and we make the world a better place for no reason?”

I knew that my contry was hot … but not that much

Music has always been so important to me, and has always been a way for me to understand and express my feelings. It was particularly important to me when I was a teenager and trying to figure out who I was in terms of my sexuality. It has helped feel less alone in my struggles with self-acceptance, and gave me a bit of an outlet in order to deal with so many confusing and frustrating emotions. It was always there for me throughout my journey as an LGBTQ+ person, and so today I wanted to share some of that with you.

In this month’s post I wanted to talk about how I’ve dealt with my biggest insecurity for the past 8 years. If you’ve ever struggled to look in a mirror, hated how you look in photos or constantly compare yourself to others, hopefully this post will help you feel like you’re not alone in this, we all find it hard to live up to society’s ridiculous standards of ‘perfection.’

Signs of a heart attack are different for each gender yet we only really teach the male warning signs. Make sure you’re aware of both and spread it to as many other women as possible!

EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TAKEN A CPR CLASS I have had to be that person who points out that the training videos ALWAYS frame the “male” symptoms as the default universal heart attack experience, while the “female” symptoms are framed as though they’re a deviation from the norm, rather than the primary symptom set that cis women experience. 

ALSO: I just showed this post to my roommate, who is an MD at a clinic that specializes in care for the LGBT community in the Baltimore area. I asked her  whether hormones were responsible for the difference in the “male/female” symptom arrays. I asked how that would apply to her trans patients (which, she treats a LOT of trans patients). She said, basically, that the longer you’ve taken testosterone the more likely you are to get the intense chest pressure and the arm pain, versus the upper back pressure and shortness of breath.

Obviously I am not a doctor myself, consult your own health care provider, etc.

Reblogging this comment because this is the FIRST TIME I’ve ever seen someone address what XYZ medical condition would look like in trans patients. Also this is partly why my great-grandma died: the (male) doctor dismissed her heart attack as basically indigestion, because she didn’t have the typical male symptoms.

Oh my God someone was able to answer the trans patient question!

you were all i wanted

but not like this
