Squirts my T gel directly into this persons eyes, blinding them due to its high alcohol content
Btw u literally wait like one minute for it to dry and then cover it with clothing and go about your day, which is why it says in the instructions to only apply it to places that will be covered by clothing, usually the upper arms or stomach. But yeah I’m out here doing the worm in my underwear on the subway seats, lock up your daughters
Yeah, I looked up the medication booklet and it seems like this gel won't be properly absorbed for hours. In that...you shouldn't wash for 6 hours afterwards to get the most efficacy.
The booklet is telling the wearer not to shower to try and get it to absorb so I'm THINKING that just maaaaybe wearing it under your clothes on public transport and someone eventually sitting in your seat and or *gasp* hugging you! Is not going to absorb into this person and mess with their own hormones. Estrogen shall not surrender that easy.
I'm not here to spoil the jokes, please continue laughing at this person's expense
I'm just here for the obligatory "transphobic fear mongering is just repackaged '80s/'90s homophobic fear mongering" reminder
Because this is a pretty blatant rehash of the old "Gay men are roaming the subways and stabbing people with contaminated needles to give them AIDS" panic, just in case you're too young to remember that one
Like, I was a literal child, oblivious to most things going on in the world, when this BS was going around, and even I heard about it because it made the mainstream news (at least in NYC)
Oh fuck, I remember that one! Yeah, you're right. Damn. There really is nothing new under the sun.
reminder that fear of contamination by undesirable scum on public transportation was also a way for car companies and conservative politicians to use racism and classism to slash funding to public transportation
not to mention that tgel is a continuous treatment and in the case that someone were to actually come in contact with tgel like that it wouldn't do shit, even if they never washed their points of contact and it was able to fully absorb.
and let's not skip over the sexism and transmisandry AND MORE in that last bit. "man up and inject or go home."
pain is not masculine. pain is not a requirement for masculinity. experiencing, enduring, enjoying and causing pain are not masculine traits. and to tell a trans man to either "man up" or completely abort any hrt is unacceptable. not to mention that stickers and sticks are a very common phobia, bringing forth the implication that any trans man (PERSON) with a debilitating fear of stickers and sticks (it's me, i have a debilitating fear) doesn't and SHOULDN'T get hrt, ever. bc apparently tgel wasn't approved by safety committees and the obvious problem that even a dunce like this fucker can identify, is an actual problem.
