A lot of people probably didn't know they needed to know this for their own decision making. I can count on one hand the number of people I know who haven't been able to due to complications, out of the dozens and dozens of men and women I know who do.

User Jasmine('s boobs hurt):
CN: Sex mentions
So you know how some people say that you can't organize after GRS?
YES, I can attest that is not universal...

User Sascha - but my cover photo says oth...:
Trans man here. I was told I may not be able to either after metatoidioplasty owing to potential damage to the literal nerves after the literal release.
This was inaccurate. Very inaccurate. But it definitely is different post op!
Safe healing!

The image is a meme using the "Doge" meme format. It depicts two Shiba Inu dogs: one labeled "BOLT THROWER" is about to hit the other, labeled "NEO NAZI SCUM AT A SHOW," with a large stick. The word "BONK" is written above the stick, indicating it's made impact.

I have always been Autistic… and always will be.

There’s no “non-autistic person locked inside me… or waiting to be set free.”

I love my Autistic brain and would never give it up.

Without my Autism, I wouldn’t be me.

1. In a groundbreaking legal filing, transgender patients, represented by Women's Law Project, have filed a legal complaint against UPMC for capitulating to Trump and dropping trans care.

Federal funding threats do not override state law.

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine.

He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews.

Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care.

Great coverage from Henry carnell.

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine.

Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

Autism and Autistic People are not the tragedy… the REAL tragedy is people’s ignorance and intolerance of the existence of Autistic People.

Been out for a couple of days, as had a planned colo and gastro yesterday. Nope, not all is fine, but further tests should hopefully find the cause of all my pain. Although it's no doubt another damned EDS comorbidity! I'm sick of being sick. Eurgh.

Two weekends ago, we witnessed the biggest fascist mobilisation in decades.

Last week we answered with unity at the #StopTrump demo.

Trump, Tommy Robinson & their allies peddle hate, but they don’t speak for us.

Our fight is clear and we must unite against the real enemy: fascism.

Abolishing Indefinite Leave to Remain is racist, cruel and would tear families apart.

This cannot be allowed to happen and we must stand together and fight it.

Nigel Farage is shamelessly copying Donald Trump's playbook.

For decades, politicians and the media have attacked refugees and migrants. Now even the rights of documented migrants are under threat.
As many of us have warned: an attack on one is an attack on all of us.

Abolishing Indefinite Leave to Remain is racist, cruel and would tear families apart. This cannot be allowed to happen and we must stand together and fight it.
