We don't have the spoons for a detailed post. We've written other posts recently giving updates on some of our struggles, but we needed to get the thoughts out of our head before sleep tonight 🥺😔

We're realistically facing a situation very soon where we'll officially be told that we're not going to get any gender-affirming surgeries from NHS England whatsoever, making the last nearly 5 years of trying to progress through this dehumanising, anxiety-inducing, decorating, belittling, gatekeeping, outdated process completely worthless  

We already had to accept we could never get FFS.

We tried twice to convince them to give us VFS, but they said no, and gave us no actual further voice training help.

We knew that trying to get PPT vaginoplasty would be a longshot, but we never expected:

  • to have PPT basically badmouthed during a consultation;
  • to hear basic PIV or scrotal flap techniques described as the "gold standard" (!!!) for genital reconfiguration surgery (GRS);
  • to be told that the only surgeon who'd see us is one we'd never, ever trust or want anywhere near us, especially after having specifically requested another surgeon (the only one we'd trust in the UK for GRS); and
  • that we'd need to go back begging to our gender clinic -- which no longer responds to our emails at all -- to try to convince them to submit a funding request for a basic standalone bilateral orchidectomy and scrotectomy... which would have been required anyway as part of PIV or vulvoplasty!!!

We've reached the point where we don't think we can get any joy from seeing other trans+ folks' joy and euphoria from making progress in their own transitions, particularly surgeries, as we can't help but feel so painfully sad crushingly jealous and upset that we cannot get even the most basic care after waiting even longer 😔

And nope: we've zero chance of being able to ever even fund the cheapest of surgeries privately.

Apologies for the sad dump. We needed to write it all out to have any chance at getting to sleep soon

Glad to host Prof. Cameron Tropea. We had an insightful discussion on recent advancements in experimental measurement techniques, and much more in research and education. Great to connect and share ideas!

Circulation in a Capillary Network

Today’s video shows red blood cells flowing through a capillary network in a rat’s skeletal muscle. At this resolution, our eyes can follow the paths of individual red blood cells squeezing through each capillary, as well as the faster blur of thicker capillaries where many cells can pass at once. Watching videos like this is a great way to build intuition for particle image velocimetry, streaklines, and other flow visualization methods as our brains can readily recognize where the cells are moving fast and where they are slower.

Biodegradable PIV Particles

Particle image velocimetry–PIV, for short–is used to visualize fluid flows. The technique introduces small, neutrally-buoyant particles into the flow and illuminates them with laser light. By comparing images of the illuminated particles, computer algorithms can work out the velocity (and other variables) of a flow. Typical methods use hollow glass spheres or polystyrene beads as the particles that follow the flow, but these options have many downsides. They’re expensive–as much as $200/pound–and they can potentially harm test subjects, like animals whose swimming researchers are studying. Instead, researchers are now looking at biodegradable options for PIV particles.

One study found that corn and arrowroot starches were good candidates, at least for applications using artificial seawater. The powders were close to neutrally-buoyant, had uniform particle sizes, and accurately captured the flow around an airfoil, live brine shrimp, and free-swimming moon jellyfish. (Image credit: M.

“His face was buried in my neck, I was squirming a little to try and get a decent angle, when I suddenly felt that cunt-throb rush that I’d learned was a fairly reliable indicator that an orgasm might be on the way.

OOOOH!”

Interoception: how I learned to orgasm during PIV sex | Girl on the Net

How do you orgasm during PIV sex? Not everyone can do it, but for those who might, here's a story about interoception, and how I learned to get in the zone.
