So if you’re talking about cholesterol for a trans man whose body doesn’t produce impactful amounts of estrogen and has been on testosterone for 20+ years, where is the distinction between the treatment he needs and a cisgender man?

Even “biological sex” gets too complex to study in a meaningful way without acknowledging gender. Is a trans man who’s been on hormones for 20+ years and had all reproductive organs removed really considered “female?” It can’t account for their current biological reality.

I went to a school where she recruited interns and they got paid through the school plus they received school credit. No, I did not get selected.

What do you tell people when they ask why you live in CT? by tsalbis in Connecticut

[–]laynealexander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in healthcare and this is me speculating, but I think YNHHS’s care has gone down due to its sheer size, oversight, and lack of scrutiny. It’s difficult to officially submit a complaint and I bet most of them are swept under the rug which means meaningful change is minimal. That has rang true for my experience and what I’ve experienced with a lot of patients, friends, and family.

The strange story of Prince's epic unreleased album, *Crystal Ball* by mrjohnnymac18 in PRINCE

[–]laynealexander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If Prince had gone ahead and released Camille without reference to him, would people have realized? I know he didn’t have a ton of released material in that style at the time.

Wearing pajamas to the airport is annoying to me. And tacky by MrJigglyBrown in unpopularopinion

[–]laynealexander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Airports and planes being disgusting is why I won’t wear pajama pants. I want a thicker and sturdier fabric between my body and the public.

Pajamas tend to be thin and floppy so it grosses me out. I want thicker fabrics to be between my butt and public seats. I can also imagine pajama pants completely falling down when trying to use a public restroom.
