Not as helpful for older, since you can't search them, but great for "where tf did my toot 3 min ago go?"

from the vid: gender affirming care is suicide prevention. It's also preventative care against diseases of despair.
"If any cis or questioning people in the comments are still confused why anyone would "want" (need) to consider different options, remember the context.
Most of us already DIY their mood and function with caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, paracetamol, and others.
These are all over the counter non-food substances with therapeutic and side effects.
Plus cosmetic surgeries and (unregulated) supplements for people unhappy with their ageing process.
The difference here is a group of people whom we can target, attack ("justifiably", not), and scapegoat to stall for time while avoiding real causes like inequality. "

DIY HRT: Everything I Can Legally Tell You
" gyaaah thing won't let me edit and update but eh: https://lgbtqia.space/@MxVerda/113870289029546262 has more info, where I can babble on at my leisure.
(If you want to join mastodon, beige.party or tech.lgbt or historian.social would all be decent starting places.
Yes, you can move server later. Yes, you can export all your posts and relationships.
No, it's really not as complicated as you first expect, from not having considered it before.
Literally just try, thank. I'm free to answer questions wherever if I can help.) "

What is Hormone Replacement Therapy? (Download and archive this video.) A hormone is a chemical messenger made by your body to send signals to some or all body cells. Some hormones are made in other bodies or through chemical processes, like other medications. HRT is a medical treatment for certain conditions, including menopause for some people, or precocious puberty for others. (Mostly) Older men and women also use it to affirm their gender experiences. HRT has certain side effects on your body. You may find these desirable or unpleasant. Any medical intervention can have therapeutic effects and side effects. Different people experience different outcomes. Do you want or need to biohack your hormone levels to affect your body? Please learn more from your GP, family doctor, primary care provider, or another trusted clinician with access to your personal medical records. Some of the waiting lists can be quite long, or involve more steps than you may expect. So ask early, please! copy of links in video description: https://lgbtqia.space/@MxVerda/113876807351799423 https://nebula.tv/videos/lilyalexandre-diy-hormone-therapy-everything-i-can-legally-tell-you/ from the vid: gender affirming care is suicide prevention.

Also, if you know anyone who takes opioids or is around opioids, know how to help in case of an overdose. Naloxone!
I can't find the USA website, so here's the UK one.
oooh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danazol is an endo and lupus treatment... but metabolised by liver, so even if joints improve, my ALTs still need to come down.
"Mastodanatrol"?! MASTODON atrol, gdi.
argh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Ggwe2j0Gc is useful in more ways than just sharing it widely to assuage my anxiety.
A youtube comment: "With masculinizing treatment, I think there are other T options but can't remember the details.
If you've not had surgery, you'll want to consider taking progesterone to prevent pregnancy as T doesn't reliably prevent it.
Additionally, you can take finasteride to try to prevent hairloss although it may stunt beard growth."
"Finasteride is not suitable for some people. To make sure it's safe for you, tell a doctor if you have:
* ever had an allergic reaction to finasteride or any other medicine,
* ever had depression or thoughts about harming yourself,
* severe bladder problems, or
* liver problems".
... well at least I don't have -- oh wait yeah, the recurrent UTIs. :/

ok but the US *does* have a huge, historical problem with anti-intellectual authority worship too, though.
The 'antidote' is not to propel backwards at full speed to unhealthy academic demands for societal acceptance.
This guarantees a 'surplus' of 'subpar' people who can't meet the ever-increasing requirements.
Don't throw people away because you can't design a system where everyone is allowed to contribute in a personally sustainable way.
Why not START with "How can we meet each person's needs?",
"What is required to meet everyone's needs?", and
"Where do we need to go from here to reach the point where we meet everyone's needs?"

My GP told me Gabapentin is addictive.
(So my options are: heat or cold, scratching, or a TENS machine. Wonderful. This is perfectly adequate kill me now thank you.)
Huh??? Why would addiction matter for lifelong use, as I may need at this point?!!?
Someone else suggested I not return to A&E or Urgent Care for a while, since I am evidently on the mend or they'd have changed my treatment. (Thank! Very? Sure.)
Yes, I emphasised that I am not "worried", and I don't care what the diagnosis is.
I just want the pain to end.
Pain relief is suicide prevention. Pain killers are preventative care. Analgesics reduce the risks for diseases of despair.
Some people evidently need the idea hammered in that
"Yes, enough consistent, repetitive pain will make life unbearable for you, too!"
Yes: you too, dear reader. And whomever you just thought about. And that group of people. That is a fact. I hope none of you are ever tested for it.
We need NHS Complex Care Centres.
Funny how I got 'addicted' before ever taking gabapentin?
It's almost like... not being in pain is a desirable outcome!
We all deserve Bed and Bread.

why did I test my home pulse oximeter there. why did I tell the GP the reading? (95 mine compared to their 97)
Doctors are just cops who memorised more.
Clinicians are just cops who memorised more.
Literally why work in health care? If not to do work... to care for... people's health?
Alright, I'm voluntarily asking people who know me IRL to act as if I'm on suicide watch because hot damn. the rest of you, stay fresh, I guess? Idk, drink water, stretch, throw some nip at a cat, idfk.
After that Urgent lack of Care episode, the GP's unnecessary gatekeeping, and someone else's instruction not to seek care for... immense, sporadic, untreatable rib pain * gnawing at my psyche, frankly I do need a break.
chocolate nibbles help.
Good night everyone!
I'll most likely try not to kill myself in the morning.
That is a Princess Bride reference. Go watch and / or read it if you haven't.
I'm not depressing; *you're* depressing!
You're depressing the floor right now, cunt.
Unless you're one of a dozen or two smartasses up in space rn, in which case: tell the stupid guitar guy to stop being so fucking american. Christ, he was so boring in-person.
Yes, I'm bitter. No, I don't think my shitty teacher DID actually send my application to space camp. Yes, I still would have had these conditions and been barred from astronaut / cosmonaut training anyway.
Point remains! Boring white / pale (cus, tbf, I don't remember his ethnicity tbh) guy with a moustache is the dumbest shit the internet ever pined over for a few weeks.
Christ, why do I do this to myself.
Good! Fuckers need to get shaken up / down themselves.

Residents “object strongly” to Rathlin’s small-scale frack plans https://www.anarchistfederation.net/residents-object-strongly-to-rathlins-small-scale-frack-plans/
If you're a whiny (I'm assuming, making an ass out of 'im and I) pale cis dude complaining about people who vent on social media -- "it's a choice" to make themselves unhappy,
then I invite you to remove your head from your asshole, clean both properly, and learn how to read the room.
Start with this thread for a tip, dumbass.
Yes. Any human can experience pain.
Yes, you are expressing valid discomfort about a shared space online, especially during encroaching social isolation in local areas. Your needs are important, like anyone else's.
You're also being a cunt right now and should rein it in before someone says all this a lot harsher than I am.
The point of a nerdy town square is that no one owns it! Even entitled loudmouths, who are unused to accomodating others.
TL;DR: you're shit at situational analysis, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, AND being a smart ass. 0/10, enough notes to fill a binder full of women.
but you know, we're just "choosing" to hyperfixate on it. God, such snowflakes! Who has energy to not want to be in pain, or see people suffer, or try to fix things?
Sooooooo dramatic...!

(Please do take breaks when you can. It is NOT healthy to lack restful hobbies.
You DO need to move around and stretch within your limits.
You DO need to engage with shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, SHITTY ass doctors.
Even when they deny you pain medications for spurious irrelevant reasons. Just... take breaks between infuriating visits, when you can.)

Attached: 1 image From an excellent thread about the subreddits overwhelmingly rejecting X, and also helping educate each other on anti-fascist language - this isn't going to be the walkover they think anywhere...
You DO need to tell relatives and strangers alike to fuck RIGHT off when they point out the obvious in a stupid, harmful way that steals your last lingering hope of connection with allistic dumb shits giving a fuck about anything outside their next two hours.
You DO need to wear sunscreen even in the UK. Probably not if you barely leave the house, but you know. Reduces risks of... cancers. Which... they won't treat quickly but also won't let you self-euthanise for.
You DON'T need to bear witness to every torture, travesty, heartbreak, or violation. It's okay to just breathe.
You're alright, you're enough, I love you, this sucks, and FUCKING THOTLESS GITS who pretend otherwise are NOT HELPING.
