Alma x Gemma - Monster Hunter: Wilds

this is factually untrue, poor communities are underrepresented, most recruits are from families with above median salaries, can you not read?

like, I’d love if there were actual medical professionals I could trust with my life but they do not exist.

most doctors are extremely unqualified for anything and much more committed to fascist eugenics than to helping their patients. “you need a medical professional” is like “the police are your friend and helper” in that it is based on liberal assumptions about society that are fundamentally untrue.

it's so telling that liberals are more upset by like three hospital bomb droppers being killed than the hundreds of children and civilians killed. who is allowed to be human in war? not Iranians.

As far as I've been able to determine the main healthcare risk endocrinologists are worried about regarding DIY HRT is that you might get an effective dose without months to years of fucking around.

ALSO - the other thing I've discovered is that a lot of advice about HRT is _way_ out of date.

In the 70s/80s a lot of the hormones were synthetic - and they WERE dangerous. this is no longer true

HRT advice for cis women in peri-menopause is ALSO bad in the uk (& a lot of gatekeeping too)

One of my regrets is that I didn’t take my friend up on their offer to help me DIY from day one because it scared me. I did eventually but after almost a year and a half on gel and patches (and a LOT of expense)

there was a time when the civil service for conscientious objectors was twice as long as the mandatory military service and somehow a lot of people did that, so weird!

germany still had a draft when I turned 18, I needed to write down my reasoning to be excused for being a conscientious objector which means you need to do civil services instead, this is a lot “harder” than not joining the US military and somehow a lot of people in germany did that, wild.

it’s tbqh not even that hard 🤷‍♀️ like, it’s very easy to not join the military and not write for the NYT. this isn’t a conversation about “wow it’s hard to not participate in the system on some level”, it’s about the most active contributions to oppression imaginable, and yea that’s not hard

Narratives against DIY routinely fail to acknowledge that the trans community is a community that on a fundamental level *needs* access to materials such as medicines for transition, and restricting these severely is going to drive criminalisation of the trans community as a minority altogether.

People are talking about risks related to DIY HRT and the fact that the purported risks are often overinflated by authorities seeking to limit access to transition entirely.

My old endo under dosed me so much with patches that I elected to double my dose as I knew it was garbage and I was still scraping the bear minimum.

I asked for prog and she shut me down completely citing the low evidence. I diy’d prog and told her I was doing so and she “fired” me as a patient.

The world is steadily getting warmer, and poorer, and more dangerous, and less beautiful and the people responsible are trying to convince us all that this is nobody's fault.

“US imperialism exploita US soldiers” is the “patriarchy hurts men too” of imperialism.
it decenters the actual victims, and makes invisible that while this group might sometimes get hurt, it also materially profits from the injustice and is the main group upholding it.

Either Platner's a Nazi or he accidentally got a Nazi tattoo & kept it for almost 20 years, accidentally RT'd a guy who recently proposed a "final solution" for American Jews, & accidentally went on the podcast of a guy who thinks Israel killed JFK. If he's not a Nazi, HE'S EXTREMELY NOT BRIGHT.

Many transition via DIY resources. I've never seen an endocrinologist or a psych because I don't want to go through a combative and adversarial diagnostic process to access what I need.

The healthcare risks are along the lines of "increased risk of breast cancer because I have breasts now."

Ende des Heizungsgesetzes: Die SPD ist ein Kanzlerkandidaten-Wahlverein, mehr nicht Union und SPD beerdigen das Heizungsgesetz und reißen den ­Klimaschutz ab. Von den vielen kläglichen Selbstaufgaben der SPD ist diese unverzeihlich.

Die SPD begräbt die eigene Klimapolitik. Es ist jämmerlich. Meine Kolumne in der wochentaz.

I think she should be bullied more

IRAQ 2003 In the buildup to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, *The New York Times* aided President George W. Bush’s administration in creating, legitimizing, and supporting a pretext for war.

i'm sure you're not replying to any of these posts because you're simply so busy absorbing all this totally new information to you, but here's a piece that collects citations to many such examples

functionally it’s irrelevant which of the two it is tbh

Laughable. Its coverage of numerous topics functions to manufacture consent, from legitimating foreign wars to monstering trans people. That’s just describing the facts as neutrally as possible. To deny this is to either be complicit in the lie or be supremely ignorant

like, I know centrists are stupid but I am not sure if you can actually believe this yourself as it’s so obviously wrong.

of course everything you say is factually and morally wrong but it’s also so funny that you sell your view as media literacy when the critical contextualization of how and what the media says is part of media literacy and what you are proposing is that people should be less media literate.

this is like "Jews control the world" level conspiracy shit. what the hell do white trans women control?? are these white trans women with us right now

well thankfully the pileon happened in the opposite direction here though, deservedly
