lol “HRT slightly increases the risk of certain cancers” HRT could have caused me to guaranteed drop dead at 30 and it still would have gotten me eight more years than I would otherwise have had

”testosterone raises ur chances of heart problems” i already have heart problems bucko. give me the juice

"HRT will raise your chances of breast cancer"

me: "oh my. how much more likely will i be to get breast cancer than a cis woman?"

"slightly less likely. it's just you'll have breasts."

me: "you don't say. i'll take your whole stock"

--actual conversations with my endocrinologist

A lot of the problems hrt gives you are just problems that cis people with that hormone also have. You’re more likely to have heart problems on T because testosterone makes your blood thick sometimes. You’re more likely to have breast cancer on E because you get more breast tissue. Tbh if I’m gonna have health problems anyways I’d rather have man health problems.

just had the funniest thought in the world which is what if the reason Kipperlilly Clerickiller first started hating Riz was bc she wanted Kristen as her cleric. like wanted her SO fucking bad. her type A ass 100% scoped out her classmates before the first day of freshman year so she could build the optimal party, and imagine her excitement when she found out! that they had a real live Chosen One in their grade!! she probably practiced the snobby little speech she was gonna give Kristen for HOURS, already mentally mapping out her path to valedictorian. meanwhile Riz walks in with a briefcase and a newsie hat and a missing babysitter to find and stumbles into Kipperlilly's Number One Draft Pick by accident in detention. how much do you think she lost her little fucking mind

she didn’t lose her internship because “her friends” used a hashtag, she lost it because a bunch of 4chan fuckers found out she’s trans and decided to doxx her and harass her employer about the ~image~ she was sending. like this wasn’t her public face account, she wasn’t spouting racist garbage, she mistook someone in her mentions for one of the randos she gets regularly harassed by (because, yknow, if someone tweets “language” at you on twitter, 99.9% of the time they’re not actually concerned for you) and transphobes used the opportunity to fuck up her life. it’s great that hickam is behind her on this but a lot of people are sharing this and laughing at how hilarious it is that “a furry got fired for swearing”, which is the smokescreen being used to cover how this was doxxing a trans woman to ruin her potential career

society could be built on selecting random women to be put in a blender and pulverized monthly and tiktok would be like “how to SLAY the blender look! if you don’t want to get blended you’re just a pick me. getting blended is an act of rebellion in our society. how to dress more blendercore. trans women will never know what it feels like to be worried about getting selected for the blender every month (even though trans women get blended more often than cis women). trans men are traitors because they don’t get selected for the blender anymore (even though they do). actually women are more biologically suited to be blended because our soft frail bodies are easier on the blades and our brains are full of goopy feminine emotions and fluff so there is nothing of value lost when they’re crushed into a chunky red liquid. it is an act of divine femininity to be blended.”

there are still people in the notes of that thread failing to grasp that this isn't a hypothetical for me. I know trans people up here who had their front door covered with 'I ❤️ JKR' and 'adult human female' stickers. there are active terf groups who harrass queer cafés and bookshops and use her name as an in-group identifier on signs and t-shirts at protests and at pride. she actually personally funded a trans exclusionary women's crisis centre in edinburgh, after her followers hounded and harrassed an inclusive service into shutting down. she is a tangible threat to trans people here.

hey fellow Europeans (EU), just a friendly and mildly concerned reminder that in less than a month, the European elections are taking place. it's an election with a historically low turnout, but one that is just as important as any other, if not more. the composition of the EU parliament determines the political direction of the EU, and has an impact on all 27 countries through directives and regulations that get voted.

we cannot let far right extremist parties get an even bigger stronghold there than they already do. sadly, there are very significant threats of exactly that happening from many countries.

so please, if you are an EU citizen living in the EU and are of voting age, check the modalities to vote in your country of residence, and make sure to make your voice heard.

Voting via mail is ridiculously easy btw (in Germany at least idk if it’s the same in all countries?)

You don’t have to proof why you can’t vote in person on the day or anything. So in case you have other shit to do that day or have difficulty getting to the place where you have to vote, or don’t know where that place is or how to get there and don’t want to make the effort to find out or you think it might rain that day and you don’t want to get wet or whatever your reason might be…

Just fill out that from and post it and your voting forms will come home to you. And there is a detailed explanation how it works. It’s very, very easy!
