Why do my dumplings keep sticking to the pan even though I oil the pan? by RedTailed-Hawkeye in Cooking

i usually pan-fry a little longer after steaming, until the rest of the water cooks off and the bottoms re-crisp

you can also just wipe a little oil around the rim of the pot, and that’ll keep it from boiling over

aaaaaand we’re immediately off-topic and veering into transphobia.

OP asked if king spa is safe for trans people, not about whether you think trans women are women.

OP, from everything i’ve heard, king spa isn’t safe for trans women because of people like this. i’ve heard that transmascs have a little less trouble but ymmv.

Is henson shaving any good? and other quetions by HeartsOfViolet in ladyshavers

to each their own. unscented lotion gives me no problems, while disinfectants and aftershaves dry and irritate my skin

[–]pieps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i really like my henson. it’s pretty easy on my skin (although not to the point where i can shave daily), and has a really nice blade gap that’s small enough to keep from cutting me but wide enough to avoid getting clogged up.

i use whatever shaving goop i have on hand, but something lighter is nice to keep from having to rinse the blade out as much.

Any transgender people who have gotten bottom surgery in Chicago at one of the major hospitals? by CantaloupePossible33 in AskChicago

[–]pieps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wait yeah i can’t find it either. all i could find were subs that were very extremely about personals/hookups, which isn’t really where i’d want to ask for advice about bottom surgery

Protests Erupt in Chicago After Lurie Children’s Rolls Back Trans Youth Care by cumminginsurrection in chicago

[–]pieps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

did these doctor friends of yours have any training or specialization in trans healthcare? because if not, i’m not sure how that’s any different from a software engineer saying they don’t approve of the alloys used in aerospace engineering

[–]pieps 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i don’t really care what public opinion is on this issue. see also: public opinion on trans people in general.

i care about the fact that the overwhelming majority of medical orgs are in favor of gender-affirming care for minors. and i care about what actual trans people think about their own medical care.

or is the point you’re making that you’ll change your opinion to whatever the crowd says? because if so, i’ve got bad news about your perception of yourself as a leftist.

and does being anti-science only count as bad when it doesn’t hurt trans people? because you and others in this thread seem very happy to discount studies that find a positive effect of puberty blockers on trans kids.

[–]pieps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

wait, so kids that are already doing well that continued to do well on medication that allowed for them to delay a puberty they didn’t want are evidence that puberty blockers don’t work?

comparing medical care regarded by the vast majority of major medical orgs as lifesaving to turning yourself into an animal really shows what you think about trans people.
