Is it just me or is this comment insanely funny
Pairs well with this
This has the exact same vibe as that FBI report saying it's hard to infiltrate anarchists because they are "scholars of history" and read too many books for infiltrators to keep up with.
Speaking of smart, well read women, here's a link to an extensive library of Radical Feminist writing! There's even a fiction section.
This is your friendly reminder that “sexuality is fluid” and “hearts not parts” rhetoric is literally being used by leading conversion therapists right now, who have changed with the times from trying to “fix” gay people to be straight and have now begun preaching “progressive” liberal politics while focusing their efforts on “turning” gay people “bisexual” and emphasizing the idea that everyone has some opposite-sex attraction deep down…. which is exactly the same point of view that trans activists and liberal feminists are pushing right now.
this technique is called SAFE-T (Sexual Attraction Fluidity Exploration in Therapy) and you can read more about it here.
This was so funny
i have GOT to know how much time was taken in between these two posts
Why do you support hrt and what do you think causes people to be trans? Also what do you think the place of trans people in society should be? Like what I mean is that e.g. pro-trans people think that trans women/men should socially be grouped in with cis women/men respectively, and that nonbinary people should be understood separately.
Also a related question would be what do you think transphobia is? Because e.g. someone who thinks trans people shouldn't be integrated into society based on their gender identity wouldn't consider misgendering to be transphobia (I'm assuming?), for example.
I dont see how banning hrt would have any positive effect on anyone, it would cause an immense amount of suffering for a lot of people.
I dont know why exactly people are transgender. There are lots of reasons. I think that strict gender roles and gender socialisation play a part in gender dysphoria, but I can't speak in certainties.
I believe that trans women are trans women, and trans men are trans men. Their are inherent differences between a trans woman and a "cis" woman this does not mean we cannot get along.
My issue is misogny, not individual people, in my opinion a lot of gender ideology is based on misogny and regressive gender stereotypes that further oppression against women.
Transphobia is discrimination against trans people, simple explanation. In terms of specifics, I think misgendering can be rude and disrespectful.
I dont believe trans people should be excluded from society, trans people are "excluded" from my feminism because I think gender ideology is misogynistic, so dont support it.
If someone wanted to exclude trans people from society they would be incredibly transphobic, trans people are people despite our differences i want them to live happy and fulfilling lives.
i view transphobia similar to how i view religious discrimination— it is transphobic to refuse housing, work, medical care, or verbally/physically assault someone for being transgender, but it is not transphobic to not believe in gender identities nor is it transphobic (albeit rude) to not go along with their beliefs when talking to them.
like if a christian said “i’ll pray for you” when talking to me in a kind way because i’m going through something, it’s rude to say “god isn’t real and you’re praying to nobody,” but that’s not discrimination on the basis of religion. similarly, not saying grace/praying before you eat when dining with christians who ask you to join them could be rude if you refuse it in a mean way, but it’s not religious discrimination.
Can we please get rid of the idea that very single radfem is just enthusiastically a JKR supporter and just rushes to blindly support her everyimt she posts something. I won't lie I acknowledge her role in radfem ideas but like she isnt the terf God or some shit. She has bad options and approaches sometimes. Not all radfems are JKR supporters or even like her content. Can we please develop some nuance around her.
It is possible to acknowledge the incorrect conspiracy theories people spout about her while also acknowledging her own shortcomings.
where’s that one post about “you don’t like jkr because she’s too feminist (recognizes sex). i don’t like jkr because she’s not feminist enough (johnny depp supporter).”
Autistic men are somehow horrible at all social norms except misogyny
If trans women would just acknowledge that they're men who alter themselves to look like women, in order to ease dysphoria, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
I'm all for men wearing skirts. I'm all for men enjoying whatever stereotypically feminine things they enjoy. I'll even support medical transition, provided you're over eighteen, understand the health risks, and have faced persistent dysphoria.
The problem is that they've redefined "woman" to be a feeling. I can no longer use "woman" to discuss the tangible reality of having a female body. Presenting as women isn't enough for them, they have to be women.
Not only does this erode my ability to discuss sex-specific issues, but it leads to self-identification policies that allow men into female-only spaces. Female-only spaces that were created because of the physical threat men pose to women.
I was accused of "driving a shiv between cis and trans women," when I tried to discuss how cis women, face different issues from trans women. I didn't even say that trans women aren't women, but acknowledging a difference at all was enough to elicit hostility. (Their follow-up sentence was, "Someone should drive a shiv through you.")
My issue with the trans movement isn't dysphoric individuals trying to feel comfortable, but the denial of how biology impacts our lives.
Trnas women do not experience periods.
"Periods are not just bleeding they have other aspects too!!"
Correct periods are a fluctuation of 4 key hormones, fsh, oestrogen, Lh and progesterone and they peak in the order listed here.
Hrt for trans women involves taking the same dose of synthetic oestrogen daily as such the level of oestrogen in their body remains relatively consistent, as such they do not experice the peaks of different hormone levels that would mimic a period.
yupp!!!! that’s why hormonal birth control will stop periods if you don’t take the placebo week. to shed the uterine lining, there needs to a) be a uterus in the first place, and b) have those hormones release and fluctuate to induce first ovulation to thicken the uterine lining, then induce shedding of this lining via a drop in hormones. hormonal birth control prevents/suppresses ovulation (so no/little lining is there in the first place), so even if you take the week of placebo pills there’s a chance you won’t get your period despite the hormone drop (which causes periods) because there’s nothing to shed in the first place!
“When you have been socialized as a girl to say yes your entire life, yes is a meaningless term.”
— Gail Dines (via femsolid)
“The majority of women agree with us!” Well what if they say no? Would anything happen to them? What do they observe the consequences as for women who don’t agree with you? Are you sure they’re choosing you, and not just choosing being free from social ostracisation and severe harrassment?
There are fundamental questions we must always ask when discussing feminism:
What happens when women refuse to do X?
Do men benefit from women doing X?
Are men doing X too?
Does the patriarchy rely on women doing X?
I know I say this all the time but seriously if you’re a radfem you need to gather with other radical women. It’s vital for you and them. Maybe you can only make it to one gathering, a festival, maybe start a meetup. Maybe it’ll only be 3 of you there, but it’s something and it really changes everything. You’re not alone and you don’t have to be. Connect. Gather.
Edit to add:
Add your location in a reblog/reply (not the tags, not everyone can see tags) and then scroll through the notes to find women to message in your area. (And then message them)
moots y’all can dm for location ❤️
The other reason I'm generally annoyed with the "Abolish X" crowd who actually DO mean "abolish X" and not a watered-down version is that ime they very rarely have fully thought out the implications of what they're demanding and then get angry when other people ask about it.
"Family abolition means completely removing legal ties for family units and allowing all children the choice of where they live" okay. So if I see a three-year-old throwing a fit because she doesn't want to leave the park, and I go over and tell her if she comes home with me she can stay as long as she likes and then we'll get McDonald's on the way home, that three-year-old should have the ability to make that decision? The parent or guardian has no legal recourse to stop me from taking her? Cause if the answer's no, that's not abolition, that's reform baby!
"I'm done talking about what we'll do with rapists and murderers after we abolish prisons, it's all anybody ever wants to talk about!" Well yeah man! 98% of people just interpreted your words as "we're going to let murderers roam around killing people at will"! You need to explain very clearly what plans you have that will stop them that aren't incarceration or you're not going to make any headway! And if your answer involves any form of "well of course SOME people can't be allowed total freedom" - that's not abolition, that's reform baby!
I'm not even gonna touch the number of people who think we should abolish the police and replace them with what are essentially roaming squads of vigilantes dispensing "community justice", whatever the fuck that means.
Like these aren't "gotcha" questions, they're legitimate problems you're going to have to contend with. And if you wave away all these questions with "you're just making up ridiculous scenarios" and "we'll think of something to fix that once we destroy the current system", then yeah actually, I DO think you care more about sounding radical than about making any kind of change.
Maybe the left should just abolish “abolish” from their vocabulary and stop adopting the most toxic slogans imaginable.
I agree. I've been thinking about this so much, and I'm so frustrated with it, because there's a point at which I have to concede that when it comes to some things, there is no answer that lives up to my ideals.
I also think the rejection of the word "reform" in favor of "abolition" is partly due to how we have seen efforts to "reform" things go absolutely nowhere but to the bank with taxpayer money to cut a fat check to police departments that they use for "training" and body cams that then do fuckall. If that's reform, I want to kill that, too.
I am in favor of making prison as we know it (a locus of abuse and injustice that is in no way oriented towards helping anyone at all, as well as a source of legal slave labor) go away. Forever. So I have asked people the prison abolition questions. I have never gotten an answer beyond "we will support victims and with the measures we want to put into place there will be fewer offenders." Good. Okay. I want that, for sure. You have my full support. I get lost when I run into "That's a distraction." It isn't. I'm not saying we refuse to work on this until every bit of it is hammered out. I'm saying it very much is something we will need to grapple with, and it's actually a major thing because how we handle extreme cases of ANYTHING is THE purest form of principles.
It isn't a gotcha to say "if you do not have a plan for non-lethally dealing with people like Jeffrey Dahmer, because people like that exist and will continue to do so, you do not have a fully realized plan, you have some really good ideas that I already support."
"I don't know, we are working on that, it's an issue, we have a lot of ground to cover before then, and some of that ground will undoubtedly point us at some of those answers" is kind of where I fall, and it is a lot more honest than what I usually get, which is "Well, YOU need to imagine what that looks like, what do YOU think? This is for YOU, and all of us, to come up with. But don't ask about extreme outliers, that just shows you support the status quo and want alternatives to fail."
That isn't an answer that goes anywhere. Because I have thought about it extensively. And my answer is "putting them someplace pleasant that they can't leave, where they can't ever hurt anyone, and caring for them, all the while watching them like a hawk for the rest of their lives, because they simply cannot be allowed what we would call true freedom".
No community I know of is capable of managing someone like that while allowing them to go free, nor should the burden of that risk be placed on any community. I wouldn't consent to having someone like that living in my community, and one dissenting vote should be enough to keep them out, shouldn't it? And if they just cut and run, well. The next community maybe won't even know they're there until they do something that could have been prevented. Whose community in the first place? The one where they offended? Because that's...that's actually not okay. Which one, if there were several?
Outliers exist and have to be considered, because if you don't, you wind up with vigilante justice out of self-defense, or a string of inexcusable, monstrous acts continuing unopposed until the person dies, but the victims, or whoever is left who loved them, at least get "support."
I don't want to say "I support reform" because my god does that ever sound lukewarm at best. But I don't have a plan for the parts of abolition that don't already overlap with reform.
I want a word for "reform" that means "we are incredibly pissed off and we do intend to tear this apart beyond the point of recognition and make something new" but that can't happen in one stroke. At the very least, there are going to be long transitional periods while we restructure shit and get people used to the new ways of doing things.
I don't like all my answers, but I haven't been presented with anything better. I want to be. But some people get really pissed when I genuinely ask them to please show me a better way that I can actually believe in.
Cosigned. I heard a couple of different takes on a news story recently where a couple of assholes were ripping down pride flags, got caught on camera, got actually caught, and the people whose flags were destroyed agreed to drop the charges if the offenders would participate in a "radical restorative justice program" where they... took a class on the suffering of the LGBTQ community.
Which is like. You confirmed that they successfully hurt the people they wanted to hurt! And made them probably be slightly bored for a few hours. This was not an education problem. They already knew they were hurting queer people. Nobody goes around ripping down pride flags out of *ignorance*.
A lot of what I hear in the prison abolition discourse is this flavor of Rousseauian (derogatory) "if people just *understand* that they're hurting other people, they will empathize and Stop!" And like... no. If your solution for people hurting other people does not include "sometimes someone acts out of Hate and you cannot force them to stop feeling the Hate, you have to be able to force them to stop acting on it", you do not have a solution.
Sorry €D girlies but I have to make this comparison. Media sites all block content related to eating disorders. A bunch of them you can't even SAY the name of the fucking mental illness and your post/video goes down. This is all because it is understood that even if you post things for yourself on your own blog, if you post about your own issues, even if you don't encourage anyone you are making this post in the public internet space. If you think to yourself in your head that you want to starve yourself then surely no one can be mad at you. But if you post online about wanting to starve then you might encourage others, even if you don't outright say that others should do it. Even if you tag all your posts properly and the only people who find your content are other people with the same disorder as you. We all can understand that so much as talking about harmful behaviour can encourage it, which is why every social media platform is blocking all €D content, even sometimes content about recovery and harm reduction.
The same idea for some reason is not being applied to heavy kink content. We have on this very hellsite people defending their incest/pedo/etc kinkposting and they don't seem to understand that their posts in the PUBLIC ONLINE SPACE that EVERYONE CAN SEE can encourage harmful behaviour. Even if you tag your kinks you are normalizing them. Having thoughts in your head about sexually harming others, minors or family members is not something that should be embraced much less encouraged. By posting about it you make it just "another harmless kink" (even though most kinks are not harmless at all). "The difference is consent!" Are anorexics not consenting to their own starvation? Are they not tagging properly their posts so that people who don't want to be triggered cant see it? Why despite it all are their posts blocked? Because they ENCOURAGE HARMFUL BEHAVIOUR
In the case of EDs is not even that bad imo because they are harming themselves and do so because of an involuntary chronic mental illness, so again, sorry for the comparison, I mean just to compare how these topics are handled in the online space, not to say that eds morally bad like kinks, that's not my intention.
EXACTLY. though at least most anorexics online have the cognition to realize that anorexia is harmful, pedophiles on here think it’s totally normal and “erm actually it’s not harmful if it’s consensual and actually children are smarter than you think and can consent to things and actually i’m an activist for posting my pedophilic rape fantasies on tumblr dot com”
people who post about their incest, rape and pedophilic fantasies publicly can fucking die and i really don’t care. even if we ignore the fact that public posts are not “thoughts”, “thought crimes” are about exploring ideology, science and theory, not talking about how you wanna rape ur little sister.
ur not profound for posting ur mother x daughter porn on tumblr and you aren’t making ideological breakthroughs, ur posting it bc it makes you hard and you wanted to spread the joy of getting hard at the thought of children being abused. and yeah personally i think if ur encouraging people being aroused at the idea of child abuse u can fucking die.
get off to something normaler that doesn’t involve torturing an unconsenting party. i believe in you. “the feminists are trying to tell us what we can and can’t jerk off to!!” first of all, i’m primarily only saying don’t spread it around publically, especially where children are present, like a mental STD. second of all, yeah i guess i don’t think you should jerk it to physical and psychological torment of children, guess that makes me Big Brother or something. idgaf.
ur correct but also i wanted to add on, posting about it on an app with children is “acting on it”. it’s grooming them, normalising child/adult relationships and often making children pity pedophilic adults, not to mention exposing children to sexual content to begin with
also, even if the one posting goes his whole life without offending against a child, sharing around (fictional) CSAM shockingly, does encourage people to act on their fetishes. Many are only waiting for an opportunity, and regardless of them saying they don’t “plan” to act on it, that certainly doesn’t mean they would let an opportunity slip by. they absolutely pose a threat to women and children regardless.
saying “it doesn’t matter unless they act on it” is as stupid as proposing that nazis and the manosphere are completely harmless because it’s only podcasts teaching men how to rape, they aren’t actually raping women (except for when they are)
The whole "there's no such thing as thought crimes" thing can be valuable for people that really struggle with shame and anxiety for having "bad thoughts". Like, having a stray thought about killing someone that's horrible isn't actually hurting anybody, and someone shouldn't be stuck in a loop of "I'm an evil person" for imagining like, Trump dying, or being glad that their abusive parents are dead or something. There's no tangible harm to anybody by a thought that's in your head, you aren't going to cause that thing to happen just by thinking about it, which some people do believe.
If someone had a random thought about rape or pedophilia, I don't think they're inherently an evil person, but crossing the boundaries into masturbating to it (which rewards those thoughts) or intentionally fantasizing about it becomes harmful. Not at the level of committing it, but it normalizes it. The next step further in harm is sharing it with others. It's one thing to factually say "I have thought about rape before and that's a bad thing" and another to normalize it or go into explicit detail. That is now an action and that is exposing people to those thoughts. It's not harmless in any way.
Another instance of abusers coopting phrases to help victims and using it to further normalize abuse.
HEAVY on the normalization of it. while pedophiles self report being less likely to offend when “sexually satisfied” (ew), normalization or permissiveness of adult/child relations leads to HIGHER likelihood of offending.
(https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19419899.2026.2619511#abstract)
and those two topics aren’t unconnected— thinking it’s normal or okay to “satisfy” those urges and rewarding yourself for having those thoughts DOES lead to the normalization of it in your mind. spreading that permissive attitude online through posting and blogging leads others to think those relationships are attractive, which in turn continues the cycle of fetishization -> gratification/rewarding -> normalization.
screenshots in the article proving my point, as well as an explanation.
while yes, sexual satisfaction leads to *self reported* lesser willingness to offend, permissive attitudes towards adult/child relations leads to higher willingness. there is a positive and statistically significant link between child related FSM use and permissive attitudes, but to fully prove that they would need to run a longitudinal study, which has many ethical concerns (basically seeing if you can groom someone from being “anti-contact” to “pro-contact,” which has concerns about what to do if that’s true when the study ends, because now you have a bunch of pedophiles who think it’s okay to assault children).
furthermore, scientists only recommend using child FSM for sexual gratification with a therapist under supervision while the materials are being used, because otherwise there are risks of escalating behavior.
rumination, aka realizing the harms of pedophilia and consumption of child FSM was associated with lower offending risks (and non rumination/permissive attitudes vice versa), so making posts about how normal and fine it is to consume CFSM leads to higher willingness to offend.
@stuckonabandonware you asked for a link to the study, so the link is in the post above and an explanation is here ^_^
btw it's not normal for this many people to want to fuck animals and kids and eat shit and piss. kinks have always been around but like, it is a bad thing that antisocial paraphilias are more prevalent and it's pretty obviously because of the internet.
Informed consent is not informed: a revised version of the form I copied straight from Planned Parenthood.
In this post I want to expose the lie of informed consent. Luck you, I saved my informed consent forms from the day I got prescribed testosterone at Planned Parenthood in April 2018. I was prescribed testosterone after my first appointment without even having gotten a blood test. I assumed I was informed, since I was fed on a steady diet of youtube transition videos/forums for years.
But I was wrong. In fact, the informed consent sheet makes efforts to prevent full understanding. Having spent the better part of this year deep-diving into the far reaching consequences of using cross-sex hormones, I'm gonna attempt to create a more informed consent sheet. In red are my notes.
What is masculinizing hormone therapy?
Masculinizing hormone therapy is a medicine that can be used as part of your gender transition process. the medicine is called testosterone. quick question, what is PP's definition of medicine?
what are the benefits? there are no real medical benefits that'll increase the life expectancy of the patient or anything. the benefits are purely psychological based on medically detrimental physical changes.
your voice will become deeper. Your voice will become deeper because the cartilage of your vocal cords are thickening. When testosterone thickens adult female vocal chords, their proportionately smaller lungs often cannot push enough air to create a typical male voice. It has been observed that some ftms are permanently hoarse or their voices sound grainy or nasally. it may even be difficult to speak at all. As we have established, the vocal cartilage will thicken. But actually, all your cartilage thickens. all of it. It is not local, it is universal. universal means brains, arteries, and heart valves. This is why trans men are at greater risk of heart attacks.
Please watch my favorite youtuber, TT Exulansic, for a better explanation of this She is a professional speech and language pathologist who also holds a degree in gender studies from the university Judith Butler teaches at. detransitioner, lesbian, and massive TERF. Bless her.
you may grow a beard and mustache.
hair on your body will be thicker and grow faster.
Your clitoris with get bigger. This is called clitoromegaly and can have two severe complications. When your clitoris gets big enough to permanently rest outside the clitoral hood, touching it can become painful. Even when it's just rubbing on your underwear. Even when you're just trying to walk. This hypersensitivity may cause problems with sexual intimacy and naturally , may i add, exacerbate dysphoria. The 2nd severe complication is less common, and occurs when the clitoral tissue grows faster than the clitoral nerve endings. This can dampen or totally eradicate sexual arousal. here is a post compiling some experiences from FTM reddit users.
your muscles may get bigger and stronger. except your bones are not large or hard enough to support such increased weight, which can lead to universal muscle and joint pain.
you will probably stop having a period. this is because testosterone induces menopause and attacks the reproductive system.
you will notice less fat on your buttocks, hips, and thighs and more on your belly.
What are the risks?
Testosterone can
increase your red blood cell count the increased red blood cell count means your blood will be thicker, which means increased risk of blood clots. remember the cartilaginous heart valves are already potentially thicker, their openings narrower. so it may take a smaller clot to increase heart attack
increase the amount of fat and/or cholesterol in the blood so, increased risk of clots
increase the chance of getting diabetes
Harms the liver (rare)
there may be long-term risks that we don't know about.
What are the side effects?
Acne Acne is a sign of a hormone imbalance. If you are using hormones not meant for your body you are inducing a hormone imbalance. there is no way to be an otherwise healthy female on testosterone and not be hormonally imbalanced. Two trans men in Gender Dysphoria Alliance (go see on youtube), who have been on testosterone for over 10 years each, share a diagnosis of aggressive psoriasis, another skin issue concerning the overgrowth of skin cells that also has a hormonal cause.
thicker and more oily skin
the hair on your head may get thinner or fall out
mood changes testosterone is a known mood stabilizer. A lot of trans guys say "they even out" on testosterone. This is not because testosterone is adequately addressing dysphoria or your mental health problems. It's because testosterone boosts your mood no matter what. using testosterone to treat your mental problem means many of the fundamental issues that cause a person's mood disturbance or dysphoria will not be addressed. testosterone is a placebo. speaking from personal experience, too, I noticed I had a much smaller range of emotions, was more angry, and weirdly, no creative drive to speak of. That might be a personal thing.
increased sex drive Again, you might think the new sexual confidence you have is because your dysphoria is being addressed but believe it or not, you are just, for the first time in your life, more horny than you are self-hating. You are not actually becoming well adjusted. You're on drugs. You're on steroids.
vaginal dryness. remember how your periods stop because testosterone is attacking your reproductive system? Let me elaborate. Estrogen stimulates the regrowth of vaginal cells but you're wiping the estrogen out. your cells are not replacing themselves as fast as they're dying. So your uterine and vaginal walls will become thinner and thinner. It will become easier to tear. the more it tears and heals itself, the more scar tissue. if this happens enough the nerves that tell you when you have to pee can burn and scar over and you could become incontinent. Additionally, the healthy vagina is (say it with me!) A self-cleaning oven, because the vaginal PH is very, very acidic and the acid kills bacteria. But testosterone lowers the acidity of the vagina, that is, makes it more basic. this means the FTM vagina is both prone to tearing and to infections. please read my comprehensive post here breaking down a study on this. If an infection makes it into the vaginal tear, you could end up with sepsis. At the very least, penetration will become extremely painful. There are also many documented cases of trans men experiencing intense pain after every orgasm.
When the uterus is atrophied enough, it may collapse or prolapse. this can lead to pelvic organ prolapse.
You may need a hysterectomy to stop the agonizing cramps/cancer risk, which can also happen. the loss of your uterus can lead to pelvic organ and rectal prolapse, and urinary and fecal incontinence, plus an increased risk of developing dementia later in life.
There are local estrogen creams you can apply in the affected area, but they can only work to the extent that the estrogen overrides the huge amount testosterone you're taking. it can reverse some of the damage, kind of like duct tape on the Hoover Dam. If you've got burned nerve endings by then, well, that's irreversible.
I'd also like to add here that none of these "side effects" are side effects. they are simply direct effects of testosterone that are unmarketable. they are not optional. Every single female person using testosterone will experience vaginal atrophy, for example. it is impossible to separate the use of testosterone from vaginal atrophy.
Besides testosterone, what are my other choices?
you could do nothing. Another way to masculinize is to have surgery. If you are interested in other options, talk to your doctor or nurse why isn't planned parenthood mentioning talk therapy, which is proven to help dysphoria? why are they framing it as "you could alter your body permanently or do nothing and suffer"?
In conclusion, the information Planned Parenthood gives is not enough for a person to truly give consent. Though all of the effects mentioned are accurate, PP does not give an explanation for why those effects occur, and as a result gloss over the severe health problems that implicitly arise as a result of testosterone that can and will impact thousands of womens' healths. I'm shocked (but not) that this is legal.
i do Not agree with the terf ideologies before anyone tries to say shit to me but its super fucking important to know the pros and cons when making decisions like transitioning and this is really well wordee and concise so
I’m glad you’re committed to spreading good information despite our political differences. thank you for reblogging.
Its really important for trans men to know this. Every medication ive ever been put on for my health, the side effects have been communicated clearly. Ive been warned about drug interactions. Ive been warned what the drug will do to my body and how it may potentially change it.
Trans men deserve to have the same consideration afforded to them. If you already have heart issues, testosterone might not be the medication for you. Or, if they still want to take it, then they can be adequately managed by a medical professional. It is shocking to me that the risk of heart attack isnt properly communicated. It is shocking to me that vaginal atrophy isn't properly communicated as well.
These thing matter. This information matters. Thank you OP for writing it all down. Vulnerable people dont need to be at risk for additional harm due to ignorance. Doctors need to do better by trans men.

Like, having a stray thought about killing someone that's horrible isn't actually hurting anybody, and someone shouldn't be stuck in a loop of "I'm an evil person" for imagining like, Trump dying, or being glad that their abusive parents are dead or something. There's no tangible harm to anybody by a thought that's in your head, you aren't going to cause that thing to happen just by thinking about it, which some people do believe.
If someone had a random thought about rape or pedophilia, I don't think they're inherently an evil person, but crossing the boundaries into masturbating to it (which rewards those thoughts) or intentionally fantasizing about it becomes harmful. Not at the level of committing it, but it normalizes it. The next step further in harm is sharing it with others. It's one thing to factually say "I have thought about rape before and that's a bad thing" and another to normalize it or go into explicit detail. That is now an action and that is exposing people to those thoughts. It's not harmless in any way.
Another instance of abusers coopting phrases to help victims and using it to further normalize abuse.
HEAVY on the normalization of it. while pedophiles self report being less likely to offend when “sexually satisfied” (ew), normalization or permissiveness of adult/child relations leads to HIGHER likelihood of offending.

and those two topics aren’t unconnected— thinking it’s normal or okay to “satisfy” those urges and rewarding yourself for having those thoughts DOES lead to the normalization of it in your mind. spreading that permissive attitude online through posting and blogging leads others to think those relationships are attractive, which in turn continues the cycle of fetishization -> gratification/rewarding -> normalization.
