if you get caught in the spiral of worrying about something, ask “will worrying about this solve the issue” and if the answer is no, then take a deep breath babe, it’s gonna be alright
Star Wars really missed out on some golden opportunities by not having Luke–the moisture farmer who never spent a day of his life outside of the driest desert you ever saw– react to other planets’ water.
Luke is on Hoth for a full week before he realizes what snow is. “This is WATER?!” “…yeah.” “WE’RE RICH!”
or Yoda senses Luke is on Dagobah and goes looking for him, only to find him thrashing around waist deep in the swamp, frantically filling every container he can find with the nastiest dark brown water imaginable and shoving it into his ship.
Every planet they go to, if Han and Leia turn their back on Luke for a SECOND, he’ll just be gone and they’ll have to go trudging off to find the nearest pond and without fail there will be Luke, sitting in water up to his neck.
guys he farms water for a living. how many vegetable farmers do you know whom go hog wild over seeing other vegetables?
Im a vegetable farmer and OF COURSE I GO HOG WILD WHEN I SEE ANOTHER VEGETABLE GARDEN WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WOULDN’T
#but yeah, I am not impressed with industrially-grown hydroponic veggies #however if I see veggies or fruit I’m not growing myself I am delighted #especially if I see how you have worked your garden
Also I don’t think the comparison would be a vegetable farmer seeing someone else’s roughly equivalent garden. It would be more like one person with a garden that yields enough to get by but only after a lot of struggle because the conditions aren’t good for it, suddenly finding themselves in a lush garden that stretches as far as the eye can see where the plants are all thriving like he’s never seen before.
Let’s all collectively destroy the belief that being gay needs to have a certain look. You can’t tell whether someone is queer or not based on the way they dress or present themselves. Likewise you also shouldn’t be able to assume someone’s gender based on their aesthetic.
I feel like there’s a lot of pressure for new queers these days, that they need to make sure they look “gay enough” to be part of our community. I’ve been down that road before myself only to realise that it’s all made up. Literally all of it, forget about every single stereotype. Your identity isn’t determined by the way you present yourself.
normalize calling viagra and menopausal hormone treatments gender affirming care
the absolute terror people have about transgender hrt is diminished when you point out that actually, my mom does the same thing and so does yours probably 🤷♀️ pretty banal in reality
Posts like these are the leftist equivalent of Ben Shapiro tweets. Just so misinformed, ignorant, and based solely in personal opinion or emotion, that you can’t even begin to properly address it without teaching a college course.
Gender affirming therapies are good, but these things are clearly not GATs. I don’t know why you would say this, but it’s annoying. I am tired of people sprinkling the right dressing onto their word salad and getting huge traction from an unthinking, uninformed userbase.
Hi, I’m Kay. I was a pharmacy technician for fifteen years, ten of which were at an independently owned pharmacy. I read pharmacological studies and assisted in compounding medications as requested by the doctors in my area.
Erectile dysfunction medications absolutely are gender affirming therapy. Their primary function is to allow cisgender men to maintain an erection. They are outright referred to as “male enhancement” medications. A significant portion of cis men who are unable to maintain a erection feel like less of a man. Medications like Viagra and Cialis allow them to feel like a man again. If that’s not affirming one’s gender, I don’t know what is.
Similarly, menopausal hormone treatments are used when someone’s body begins to stop creating estrogens and progestins as cisgender women age. What happens when a body used to those hormones suddenly doesn’t have them anymore? Well, the latent testosterone levels in a cis woman’s body is enough to cause darker and thicker body hair, acne, a change in sex drive, and even thinning hair or balding. Cis women going through menopause don’t feel like women because their hormones have shifted. Again, gender affirming therapy.
The term “gender affirming therapy” doesn’t refer to specifically transgender people’s medications. The medical term therapy refers not only to medication, but also medical procedures and surgeries. If a medical therapy affirms one’s gender (no matter the gender), it’s gender affirming therapy.
