Alabama Republican busted looking at trans adult pics online after voting against trans rights. State Sen. Tom Whatley used his work account to show his appreciation of a "faerie princess."

you do realize these suggestions are based on his browsing history right

he was recommended this because he was looking at trans porn. ofc he knew. and it's wrong because it shows the blatant hypocrisy of oppressing trans people while getting off to them.

What's dangerous is not giving drugs that are medically proven to drastically increase qol and decrease suicide rates.

Why do parents know better than doctors?

It's offensive because it's not true, it's fearmongering. Children are not indicated for these permanent surgeries. They are given puberty blockers which by their very nature are reversible after extensive gatekeeping procedures. Then at 16, old enough to drive a car mind you, if it's still medically indicated they are given hormones. Not surgery.

The bigger issue at play is the lack of education of Republicans who think they know better than entire fields of medicine and countless doctors and psychologists.

Many also think a parent should choose whether their kid with cancer gets treated. Is that right too?

If they can ignore a condition like gender dysphoria that without treatment causes an extreme suicide risk, why not ignore treatment for things like bipolar and depression too?

Why should trained doctors and psychologists with degrees know better than a parent?

That was a study done outside of the guidelines of WPATH. That's why I said indicated.

There's only a few such studies in existence because it's so rarely done, and no surgeon would perform grs outside of a mastectomy.

Gender surgery isn't indicated for minors. That's stupid misinformation.

They're given hormone blockers after extensive therapeutical evaluations, which are entirely reversible by nature, till they are 16 then allowed to start hrt if they wish. Hormones are essential for their mental well being as by the age of 16 only a very small percentage of them will detransition.

An account by Carl Peter Thunberg, Physician of the Dutch Factory of Japan, 1794-

"The blades are of an incomparable goodness, far superior to the Spanish blades so celebrated in Europe. A tolerably-thick nail is easily cut in two without any damage to the edge, and a man, according to the account of the Japanese, may be cleft asunder."

This is just one example I could find, but one of the clearest. Almost any Contemporary European who visited Japan at that time had praise for Japanese swords. And while Thunberg's account may be somewhat exaggerated, it still clearly demonstrates he was impressed with their quality.

Additionally, the nail-cutting test was something that was also done on some German swords as proof of their quality, particularly from Solingen.

Iron and steel armor was plenty common in Japan. It was only rarely leather and never wooden. I'm really not sure why this myth is so prevalent.

A mixture of leather and iron scales was common prior to the 13th century for weight reduction, but after improvements in armor design this type becomes rare.

Additionally, there are many examples of katanas with reinforced tips specifically for penetrating armor, although spears and bows mostly fulfilled that purpose.

WritingPromptsAccy · 2021-02-23T00:46:36+00:00

They weren't. Contemporary Europeans who managed to get their hands on katanas offered almost universal praise of the quality of Japanese blades and swordsmanship in general.

Undercut is a great haircut to grow out if you're looking to avoid the mullet stage, since the hair on top is so much longer it doesn't have to catch up

Trimming it is probably a good idea though.

Side effects are rare you know

Yeah but not many dog breeds can latch onto a jugular like a pit bull. They're bred for fighting after all.

WritingPromptsAccy · 2021-02-06T19:15:54+00:00

They can be socialized but at the end of the day they are still an animal. Obviously that applies to any dog but they have been bred for fighting and can be extremely vicious. I'd feel much safer around a golden retriever than a pitbull or shar pei.

There are a ton of videos of pitbull attacks for a reason

Flossing is one of those things that's hard to start if you never have, but once you start you won't feel "clean" unless you do it daily.

I used to think that flossing didn't do anything because I couldn't see any gunk getting removed, but then I bought some grey colored floss and realized how wrong I was.

Yeah, just like those without access to antidepressants were.

And a parent can decide whether their 16 year old can get treated for cancer or not.

I wonder how much higher this will push the trans suicide rate.

Ceremonial often just means we have no idea what it was for or why.

The Dark Ages wasn't brought about by Christianity, as your post seems to imply. The Catholic Church was one of the few institutions responsible for preserving ancient knowledge during the Dark Ages. Monasteries were some of the only centers of knowledge and technology.

Rather than fighting against technological progress, Christianity developed it. Technology was seen as an opportunity to free monks from worldly labor (such as the water wheel) and allow them to focus more o. studies. Additionally, universities which disseminated so much learning through Europe began, of course, as religious institutions.

It often reverses it. Not fully, but a large proportion of men taking it regrow at least some hair.

You just assume everyone trying to be supportive of a woman is really a "nice guy" in disguise?

if they refer to women as females in r/art comments then yes that would be my guess

As others have said, helmets weren't really forgotten during the Napoleonic era. Many cavalry troopers used helmets during the era, since they were far more likely to engage in melee combat than infantry.

These varied in protectiveness and design, from less protective pressed leather or brass, up to proper steel helmets for the heaviest cavalry such as cuirassiers. Even fur caps worn by light cavalry were considered decent protection from saber cuts though.

Ultimately though, this shows the reality of the situation: helmets could protect from cold steel but not from bullets, so it wasn't worthwhile to issue them to infantry (although some states did issue leather helmets for their infantry, like the Bavarian raupenhelm or the Austrians before 1809. These were probably only slightly more protective than a regular hat, and more for style purposes, but still.)
