hi all, long time vegetarian, just committed myself to veganism this week. however, I’m also trans fem, and having trouble finding info on estrogen and other meds (currently seeking a scrip for adhd). any resources or tips to share? I’m in canada if that’s important. thanks in advance!
Premarin—conjugated equine estrogens—comes from pregnant horses (PREgnant MARes). You probably won't be prescribed that.
Oestrogens can also be synthesised from diosgenins found in yams.
If you're taking injections: Castor oil comes from beans, Benzyl alchohol can come from beaver ass but is synthesised industrially by reacting toluene with oxygen and chlorine, Benzyl benzoate is produced by reacting sodium benzoate with benzyl chloride and sodium benzoate sometimes comes from milk or seafood.
Oestrogen pills contain various inactive ingredients, such as:
silicon dioxide, corn starch, calcium phosphate dihydrate dibasic, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, sodium starch glycolate type A potato, FD&C Blue No. 1, FD&C Yellow No. 5, aluminum oxide
Dihydrate dibasic is produced from calcium hydroxide and phosphoric acid; calcium hydroxide is made from calcium oxide which is made from either lime or sometimes seashells. Phosphoric acid comes from either rocks or coal.
Lactose monohydrate as you may have feared is milk.
Magnesium stearate is made out of magnesium (a metal) and sodium stearate. Sodium stearate can be produced from animal tallow.
Sodium starch glycolate type A potato—much like gnocchis—ist potatoes.
FD&C Blue No. 1 is synthetic.
FD&C Yellow No. 5 is also synthetic. I have no idea how they make it.
Aluminum oxide is rubies; they extract it from aluminium ore
Wisconsin voters on Tuesday were deciding on two Republican-backed constitutional amendments, one of which would ban the use of private money to run elections in reaction to grants received in 2020 that were funded by Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg....
It’s easy to roll one’s eyes as the self-serving dramatics of MAGA voters using false claims of victimhood as cover for their ugly views. But, as the threatening language in Greene’s tweet shows, this “woe is us” act is deeply dangerous. The hyperbolic conspiracy theories and dehumanizing language serve to convince...
They will never get sick of this trans panic shit, because bullying a vulnerable population drums up votes
They would if trans people somehow acquired physical power and some other group lacked it. As you say, it's about vulnerability. I've my doubts they actually care about transness qua transness.
If you thought silent film was boring think again. There's something incredibly modern about Louise Brooks in this rollercoaster of sex and drama. The great Austrian director George W Pabst made this in Weimar Germany, recruiting Brooks from the US for her breakout role.
I remember it as really depressing; is that accurate?
You're have to ask someone (besides yourself) who's seen the film. I haven't even read the book in english.
Since it's about a woman who witnesses a suicide, is raped, gets forced into a life of sexwork, and eventual husband offs himself, yeah "depressing" sounds about right. 🤔
The judge in Donald Trump’s hush-money criminal case on Monday declared his daughter off-limits to the former president’s rancor, expanding a gag order days after Trump assailed and made false claims about her on social media....
If she lived up to her end of the bargain and kept her mouth shut, then why do we know about it?
line 22-23; Trump never signed the NDA so it wasn't binding
how did the Stormy Daniels thing become public?
She had told people before signing the (non-binding) NDA and people found out. Also apparently Cohen (trump's lawyer) himself admitted to the hush money?
I said that already, mbin might be good but I didn't like the advertisement.
I'm not quite sure what your position is. I am by no means an mbin booster. In fact I find some of the people pushing mbin over kbin (in lieu addition too) jerks about it.
This whole thread has been about the similarities I noticed between comments people made about/to Ernest previously and the sort of comments we later learned led to the xz backdoor.
When I started to read breakdowns about the social engineering behind the xz backdoor I was like, "Waaaaitaminute, I've seen that sort of talk before." I found it notable to point out the similarity and maybe poke around at it.
People decided to use the thread (to my excessive chagrin) to talk shit about kbin and rehash the exact same pressures I was attempting to analyze.
