Them [the news website] having a lot of articles on top surgery and bottom growth but like no info on the affects of estrogen/progesterone on your genitals and bottom surgery is so...blatantly a bigotry issue.
good lord, the difference in register in this article on transfem HRT vs this article on bottom growth on transmasc HRT is just so gross?
like, the bylines:
"Bottom growth can be a fun, affirming, and sexy part of transition for many people."
"Feminizing HRT, or hormone replacement therapy, is a common treatment for gender dysphoria."
good lord.
the transfem HRT article is fucking full of half-truths and outright mis- and dis- information
Anti-androgen medication suppresses the body’s natural testosterone, which can cause:
Thinning of facial and body hair Decrease in muscle mass Changes to your libido Reduction of penis and testicle size A decrease in the number of erections you experience
jesus christ that's also an effect of estradiol! ESTRADIOL LITERALLY CAN DO ALL THAT ON ITS OWN.
Deciding whether or not to go on anti-androgen medications is a personal choice depending on how your medical transition is going.
Commonly, patients will begin by taking anti-androgen drugs to reduce testosterone levels before beginning to take estradiol orally, with regular testing to check hormone levels.
SHUT THE FUCK UP. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
"patients will begin by taking anti-androgen drugs to reduce T levels before beginning to take estradiol" WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.
THAT'S LITERALLY JUST BAD FUCKING PRACTICE YOU FUCKING ASS.
Medically transitioning is not a requirement to be trans, as there are no formal requirements.
Ducar added that not everyone needs to go on feminizing HRT, and that you should only do so if you feel medically transitioning is that important for your transition goals.
Ducar says that it is possible to cause an overdose on HRT, and that you could put yourself at risk for “breast cancer, stroke, blood clots, gallstones, and a range of heart issues” without being properly monitored.
there is no evidence for any of this being the case at a higher risk than just a given cis woman existing.
For some people, feminizing HRT can make their body feel more in line with their mind.
for who asshole. for who??
and you know what, i'll give them credit, at least the writer and the medical provider, Dallas Ducar, they got to do this crap are both transfeminine, but jesus christ. this article fucking sucks ass.
A more fair comparison is between their article on masculinising HRT and the one mentioned above.
bylines:
"Feminizing HRT, or hormone replacement therapy, is a common treatment for gender dysphoria"
and
"Testosterone HRT, or hormone replacement therapy, can leave people feeling more confident, alleviate gender dysphoria, and in many cases saves lives"
Make of that what you will
Following this both describe their HRT in broard strokes, in terms of physical effects both speak plainly. However their concluding sentences are phrased diffrently
"For some people, feminizing HRT can make their body feel more in line with their mind."
"People who take masculinizing HRT have reported feeling less psychological distress, experiencing more sexual satisfaction, and otherwise help them feel more comfortable in their body and mind."
Now one difference that will immediately jump out at you is the length difference, I don't know and won't guess why that is the case.
What I will say is that one of these articles seems much more interested in emphasising how few people benefit from it then the other and, that one of these seems less willing to elaborate on what the tangible benefits are.
But something I find quite interesting is on the preceding line in the mHRT article:
"Taking HRT has been shown to greatly improve the mental health of many trans people and in many cases save lives"
A plainly stated sentence that emphasises the life saving nature of HRT? I'm sure they had something like that in the fHRT article, I mean this sentence even talks about HRT generically so they could even just copy and paste it!
They don't say even once that feminising HRT saves lives. Not once. So that's an interesting decision.
Of course that isn't the only interesting thing. Both articles do state that one doesn't need to take HRT to be trans, however I, just for fun, decided to count how many instances of that sentiment were stated in each article:
the fHRT article states that you don't need to take HRT to be trans seven times. the mHRT article only says it once.
Now that on its own wouldn't be an issue if the fHRT article didn't seem to spend every other moment talking about how few people benefit from feminising HRT.
Now also for fun I decided to count how many times each article says that there is only a chance that HRT provides any benefits.
I'm starting to see a pattern.
humour me just one more time, how many times does each state HRT is life saving?
I hope this isn't to poorly written, I came into this trying to do my usual unfeeling disection of articles, but these articles managed to quite piss me off.
last week i woke up from one of the most fucked up nightmares ive ever had with that middle panel burned into my brain. like the exact wording and the exact apartment and the exact squidward. i feel like if i didnt make it real something bad wouldve happened. anyway todays upload is spunchbob comic oc

Many Democratic elites appear to have landed on a familiar tactic: blaming everyone’s favorite scapegoat, Big Woke. Everywhere you look, you’ll see someone—often, but not always, on CNN—railing against the far-left extremists that supposedly held the party’s mainstream faction in its vise-like grip in 2024. There’s just one problem with this: the campaign these insiders are describing bears virtually no resemblance to the actual campaign we all just suffered through. They have simply invented an alternate universe out of thin air.
[...]
The ugly truth for these people is that Kamala Harris ran as right-wing a campaign as any Democrat in living memory. She downplayed discussions of her race and gender. She bent over backward to welcome billionaires, corporate titans, and Republicans into the fold. She told Black men that one of her priorities for them was…crypto. She made her past as a prosecutor a cornerstone of her pitch. She bragged about owning a Glock and joked that she would shoot people who broke into her house. She stuffed the Democratic National Convention to the gills with cops and Border Patrol agents while crushing even the tiniest dissent over her support for the genocide in Gaza. She promised the most “lethal” military in the world. She was seemingly joined at the hip with Liz Cheney for weeks. She even praised Dick Cheney! It’s hard to think of what more she could have done to satisfy the people clamoring for her to pander to conservatives.

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
