This is kind of a tangent but I’ve always had mixed feelings about his essay about not being gay in a time where there were a ton of rumors around the topic, which relates I think to his brand of masculinity.

Essentially his point was that if he was gay he would be the most out and loud person about it so that others could feel safe too do the same, and it always stuck me as an easy thing to say.

But now that I’m out I find it kinda inspiring since I DO get to be that out and loud queer and I would lie if I said his words didn’t inspire that.

So. Well played I guess Henry.

Oh my god they were roommates business partners

This is so cute

BRICS really limits the amount of impact a western sanction has. US/Europe isn’t the only game in town by a long shot.

(not trying to get into a debate about the merits of such, just talking factually)

That’s because it’s not controversial and that’s why it’s so weird we’re focused on it.

Minors are in the vast majority of times given puberty blockers at most which is a reversible process.

The focus on this non-issue is to generate controversy and impact hormonal care of minors and all care for adult trans people and everyone keeps falling for it

Nobody is trying to convince trans people they need surgery, it just so happens that it’s an effective treatment for dysphoria as has been proven in study after study after study.

It’s a choice between the patient and their doctors. Perhaps it’s societal, perhaps not. Either way your magical idealism world doesn’t actually exist in real life so it should continue to be a practice because it works

Signed, A trans woman who will have some but not all surgical treatments.
