though, a requirement for this would be post-scarcity, for which it’s necessary that most daily and small luxury goods are available at little to no cost.
there are many pathways to this, but they require the economics and politics to be reoriented to focus on society’s needs, rather than those of a few; and that the incentive to act on society’s behalf is always more than to act against it.
Mr Krabs: hoarding disorder (capitalism)
The Nazis only learnt to understand it once they lost according to their own frame of reference, ie., they were beaten up by those they deemed ‘weak’.
Isn’t that called taking HRT?
For me, it would be a massive euphoria moment, tbh. That alone would increase my mental health by tenfold.
The hormonal changes in pregnancy are often triggered by the embryo producing hormones to keep the pregnancy ‘active’.
For managing it safely, I would argue against it being too difficult. A multidisciplinary team is indeed necessary, for this first, but beyond that, pregnancy is comparatively decently understood.
A close analogy for transgender women would be transgender men who discontinue the exogenous testosterone, to induce ovarian hyperstimulation. Uncomplicated pregnancies have occurred in there. Likewise, intersex people with both testicular tissue and female genitalia, as well manage to undergo pregnancy. Cisgender women with severe ovarian insufficency or prenatal oophoroectomy also have successfully fulfilled pregnancies, with a mix of exogenous hormone support followed by an increase in endogenous placental hormone production.
The biggest issue is actually neovaginal anastomosis, it needs to be well-vasculated. Thankfully, we have made enormous advances in this regard, in that we managed to let blood vessels grow. For the microbiome, self-lubricating neovaginas exist, as well as vaginal creams. These can help.
The pelvis is actually less of an issue - depending on how early one took HRT, it’d be possible to give birth naturally (if necessary earlier) or to perform a C-section.

Isn’t there also Jolla? Iirc they run on Linux.
This is a terrible graphic, the “short” documents should be proportional to length, while they’re not.
Just “transphobe” works better, tbh.
Sounds like the roads need to be made safer then.
Typically people don’t fall by their own, unless if you’re talking about the elderly (who are more brittle), or the very young (who drive on low tricycles to learn, and a fall then isn’t as bad). A bicycle also typically is much less fast than a car, so when you fall, the damage is also much less bad.
By far most bicycle accidents are caused by other drivers (especially car drivers) not watching out or driving recklessly near them. Or because bicycling paths aren’t cleared/salted in winter.
If you wanted to tackle accidents better, you’d prohibit smartphone usage while in traffic altogether for everyone (navigation excepted), and support separated, well-maintained bicycle lanes with protection rails.
There’s a huge difference between falling and falling because a car drove you over. Don’t blame the bicyclist overmuch. Blame the carcentric infrastructure instead.
No thanks, this is the same stupid reasoning as “pedestrians should wear hi-vis vests when walking”. It offloads responsibility from car drivers to be responsible, to bicyclists and pedestrians. A decent, separated bicycle infrastructure goes much further in terms of safety than “just wear helmet lmao”.
Still baffling they were allowed there in the first place. Friends I knew who visited there, had to put on bicycle helmets to bike in the friggin’ park.
Joke’s on them, lots of cis women who get induced and get C-section for that reason!
That said, if I could give birth vaginally, I’d def do it just to piss off the transphobes, and remove their last argument.
Only dangerous because the research that was done on it before was burnt by the Nazis.
And now we have new research with actual protocols. There have been a few hundred transplants already, though on cis women; and there have been some trans man pregnancies as well.
Disagree, heavy snow as an adult is still awesome. I almost never experience it anymore…
Yeah same direction. Though bike pathes also exist where you pass in the opposite direction, on roads where you only have one bicycle path.
Usually, bidirectional bike paths tend to have space only for 1 bike on one lane, so if you want to pass, you have to wait behind another bicyclist and make sure there’s no one too close behind you or incoming.
The only criticism I have is that the bicycle path is too narrow to let another person pass. You’d ideally want a bicycle path of at least 2.5 m wide, not just 1 m.
3.5 m would be even better, then you can have a couple bike next to each other, with another passing.
-9.4°C, -15°C, and 1.7°C and 7.2°C, for those not using imperial units. Or rounded to the nearest fifth, -10°C, -15°C, 0°C, 5°C.
