SciShow, what the fuck.

ok im not going to go into big details, but here are things they need to be corrected on

  • progesterone does, in fact, work, and does not have a blood clot risk
  • estrogen monotherapy works
  • your bones can change over time, a bit
  • finasteride and dutasteride are not T-blockers, they only block DHT, a byproduct of T and will not help you on their own
  • breast growth does not stop after three years
  • spending your life on just spiro, no E, is actually dangerous as hell, don't fucking do that if you like having bones

they should be ashamed of themselves. spread this if you care about the transfems in your life

the replies so far have been absolutely fantastic, with people going WAY more in depth than i did. so i wanted to list a few more things and provide some resources.

  • they didnt mention cyproterone acetate or bicalutamide. cypro is the standard anti-androgen instead of spiro in most non-US parts of the world, and bical is a neat up-and-coming AA that im not personally too educated on. this video was very US-centric in a disturbing way.
  • the progesterone risk is only for some very specific, very rare formulations (norpregnane-derived progestins (norethindrone, norgestrel)), not what you are likely to be prescribed or given, and prog is considered a safe medication, but if you are concerned you can avoid those formulations.
  • blood clot risk does exist with high E doses, but that's a separate matter and again im not a doctor. i know i personally am at risk for this and need to keep my bp under control.
  • they fucked up a lot of trans masc stuff too (birth control is not hrt-lite!!!!) and one of yall may want to do a post on that

Here are some good references for learning about fem hrt. i particularly suggest transfemscience for a good overview of how it all works.

TransfemScience https://transfemscience.org/articles/transfem-intro/

UCSF https://transcare.ucsf.edu/guidelines/feminizing-hormone-therapy

@rachaelspooky@cyberpunk.lol avatar

aaaaaand the stuff coming up in the replies now is out of my depth. im not an hrt expert, im fairly well knowledged i think, enough to call out all the nonsense in the video, but people are bringing up really fascinating things and i suggest starting from the original post and just giving the whole thread a read for some good learning. :)

i fully have faith in our ability to finish this memoir and get it in a readable condition and published somehow even

like those are all just future certainties

vanta has doubts and anxieties but i firmly believe it is well within the realm of possibility

it will just take time, and effort, and NOT cutting corners or half-assing things

this calls for full ass, at the very least. if not turbo ass. ultra ass, even. the point is, there has to be lots of ass for this to work. that's where the magic is

@queue i usually queue up a buncha bumpers and interstitials then shuffle them, then i randomly put chunks of them between a few hours worth of music then fine-tune the between-song sections as it's going

so i know the vague shape of the show at the start but it still morphs a lot lol

Here are ways in which you can help me if you cannot offer a couch, as I am still in a bad situation with no way out of the abusive household I am in:

  • Consider messaging me for an art commission. My prices start at 15 USD for a fully shaded headshot and I can do both anthro and humanoids. Examples can be found on https://mooi.moe/gallery.html

  • I currently have an YCH open: https://tech.lgbt/@rangaku/112514499153287958

  • Consider a donation; if you cannot afford a commission or do not have anything to request; I am thankful for every bit of money as it pays me bills.

https://ko-fi.com/rangaku

I am thankful for every coffee sent my way. I am sorry I have to beg I wish I could just not do it and be the one helping instead.

Please, boost or/and consider dropping a tip if you enjoy my creations

how long until threads threatens to or actually does start blocking mastodon.social for allowing nudity?

would dot social bend the knee in that scenario and change their policy? probably

https://help.instagram.com/914046486923176

Post photos and videos that are appropriate for a diverse audience. We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons, we donโ€™t allow nudity on Instagram. This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks. It also includes some photos of female nipples, but photos in the context of breastfeeding, birth giving and after-birth moments, health-related situations (for example, post-mastectomy, breast cancer awareness or gender confirmation surgery) or an act of protest are allowed. Nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK, too. People like to share photos or videos of their children. For safety reasons, there are times when we may remove images that show nude or partially-nude children. Even when this content is shared with good intentions, it could be used by others in unanticipated ways. You can learn more on our Tips for Parents page.
Sexually explicit or violent media must be marked as sensitive or with a content warning This includes content that is particularly provocative even if it may not show specific body parts, as well as dead bodies, bloody injuries, and other gore. Particularly obscene content may be prohibited entirely. Profile pictures and header images may not contain sexually explicit or violent media.

This is one example of a bill that I pay, as well as the rent.

Part of the arrangement for my staying where I am is that I am responsible for at least one of the major utility bills that comes due. For me, that would be the cable/Internet/voice phone bill, and it's a doozy. Below is the current due.

That's a significant part of the $650 I am asking for.
