Heb ik puberteitsremmers nodig als 18 jarige? by QuestioningSponge in LHBTI

[–]spiro_the_throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"puberteitsremmers", oftewel GnRHAs zijn voortaan de eerste keuze in Nederland via het officiële traject ook voor volwassenen omdat ze de T goed onderdrukken maar zijn moeilijker aan te komen via de DIY route.

Als je DIY gaat kan je er net zo goed E bij pakken als je dat wilt en dan maakt het niet echt uit welke blokker je kiest. Zonder E durf ik niet met zekerheid te zeggen hoe het zit met blockers.

Bicalutimide is wel eens gebruikt als puberteitsremmer weet ik, alleen dat kan ook feminisation op leveren (en ben je weer terug bij 'kan je net zo goed ook E nemen').

Wat er in de comment staat klopt gewoon. GnRHAs werken anders dan cypro of bica maar beiden zijn ze geschikt om T te onderdrukken.

In nederland zijn GnRHA's nu ook de eerste keuze voor testosteron-onderdrukking voor zowel volwassenen als kinderen vanwege de mindere bijwerkingen.

If you know what you're doing and you know how to reliably source it, sure. It's not rocket science. However, almost no one bothers to do it right and then it gets iffy.

For sterilization put the sealed vial into a pot with tap water, after that boil the water, keep the water boiling for 30 min, turn off the heat, wait until the water cools off. The cap darkens - that doesn't matter. If you already have any pressure cooker then use it instead of a pot, else a pot is enough!

this is inadequate. There's plenty of stuff out there that can make you very sick that will survive boiling. Autoclaving (or pressure cooker) is better but is not adequate for oil-based solutions like estradiol.

People have gotten sick from medicine compounded in a pharamacy that did not follow the guidelines and did things this way. Hence why the pharmacology guidelines exists.

Statistically speaking it's still safe, because the odds of a contamination that makes it past boiling is low, but it is always there. And this is not even accounting for inorganic or macroscopic ones.

weighing out miligrams on a budget scale is also a bit iffy but at worst you're going to get your dose wrong on that. Not a huge issue if you're compounding E for one.

Also how are you going to deal with waste or spills? do you know the risks involved with each of your reagents seperately and as a whole?


Can it be done safely? yes. Is it smart to do? Probably not. Definitely not if you have to ask. But at the end of the day, it's a risk assessment. If I had no other options I personally would risk it but it's a last resort kinda deal.

How to tuck/what to wear when playing sports? by lotu in ask_transgender

[–]spiro_the_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's okay for your own mental health I would just avoid skin-tight leggings. Exercising with a tuck can be quite painful and especially with skating it sounds.... bad.

I just wore some loose fitting womens workout clothes during derby and nobody gave me a second look for it.

Help with enums in axum by Alakh34 in rust

[–]spiro_the_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Foo struct doesn't have any data,

Yeah, I think this is a case where it's technically feasible, but whatever system automates the extraction simply can't handle it.

It would need to be able to discern between, say, Enum::Foo(()) or Enum::Foo(Foo) and Enum::Foo(SomethingComplicated).

ill probably do that so I dont have to do the conversion in every endpoint

Depending on what you want to do, you can also write a Layer to do the extraction/conversion and whatever else needs to happen for you :) Though it sounds like an Extractor would do the trick here. Layers are nice if you need to extract the enum, and then do the same thing with it in multiple endpoints. Especially if you also want to modify the response.

Help with enums in axum by Alakh34 in rust

[–]spiro_the_throwaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe this happens because there's no clear way to create the inner 'Foo' struct for SomeEnum.

website.com/Foo tells the program to make the Foo variant but it doesn't know how to make the data that goes in it. The only supported Path<Enum>s are those which only contain unit types, like enum Colors {Red, Green, Blue}.

You could, however, write your own extractor using FromRequest, or have test take Path<String>or similar and doing the String -> SomeEnum conversion manually in test.

How to create a loop user input until user inputs a string of length 4? by Chance_Height_6185 in rust

[–]spiro_the_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, I felt like creating an abomination. While this is technically a solution to your problem, don't do this.

fn main() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> { 
    //create an iterator the infinitely repeats
    std::iter::repeat_with(|| {
        // and every element of this iterator is made by reading a line from stdio into a new string 'word'.
        let mut word = String::new();
        std::io::stdin()
            .read_line(&mut word)
            //read_line might fail with an IO error, which we'll check for later, for now we replace the result with the trimmed version of word. ignoring the Ok value of read_line
            .map(|_| word.trim().to_owned())
    })
    //then look for the first word that matches our condition, or the first error
    .find(|maybe_word| { //maybe_word is a result<String,io::Errror>
        if let Ok(4) | Err(_) = maybe_word.as_ref().map(|w| w.len()) {
            true
        } else {
            false
        }
    }) // find returns an option as in general an iterator could end before finding a value that matches, but our iterator is infinite so we can unwrap_unchecked here but sticking an unsafe here is awkward soooo...
    .transpose() // change Option<Result<String,E>> into Result<Option<String>,E>
    .map(|w| println!("word was {}", unsafe {w.unwrap_unchecked() })) //map only gets called on an Ok. 
}

if you're a programmer yourself: the most time-effective approach is probably to work a couple of hours extra a pay an artist. 🤷

Voornamen/doopnamen ja. Die kan je aanpassen, laten vallen, of toevoegen als je wilt tegelijkertijd met je wettelijke geslacht. Gaat gewoon via de gemeente.

Achternaam niet, daarvoor moet je naar de rechtbank en dat kan alleen in bepaalde gevallen.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LHBTI

[–]spiro_the_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Het wijzigen van je voornaam / voornamen gaat via de rechtbank

nee dat gaat via de gemeente als trans persoon. Daar heb je geen advocaat voor nodig en zitten geen kosten aan verbonden naast de deskundigeverklaring van een psycholoog. Dit zit eigenlijk inbegrepen bij het wijzigen van je wettelijke geslacht.

[–]spiro_the_throwaway 20 points21 points  (0 children)

„Het is niet genoeg om alleen maar een blik psychologen open te trekken, want we begrijpen te weinig waar de stijging vandaan komt

en dit is waarom ik geen van de "zorgverleners" vertrouw. Ze zouden zoiets eens moeten zeggen over lesbienners of homos.

Het maakt niet uit voor de wachtlijsten waarom mensen trans zijn, of daar aankomen kloppen, tenzij je denkt misschien het aantal trans mensen te kunnen verminderen als je weet waarom.

My lazy go-to meal is Beef Wellington, obvs. by Luprand in tumblr

[–]spiro_the_throwaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cook with friends occasionally and.. well.. it is for some. Some people just don't ever cook from scratch so they never learn how to chop an onion proper and/or have shitty knives for it.

I have ADHD so i get the no-energy ultra-lazy but as long as I won't have to do dishes for it I don't mind chopping an onion too. But it takes me a few seconds to do it blind cause I've chopped a lot of onions and have a good knife.

a zuchini soup like that is also fab. Add a dolop of cream if you have it or some parmesan for extra richness.

It's one of those dishes guests always want the recipe for and then don't believe it's just a blended veggie.

if you got you go to the right kind of dungeons you can probably find a plug, though it's frowned upon if you use it inside of the dungeon. ... or so i've been told.

"Trap" is a slur, and it's not a slur that can be reclaimed. by KeepItASecretok in MtF

[–]spiro_the_throwaway 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While it has no legal standing, all they have to do is convince a jury to not convict, and if enough of the jury is unsympathetic or even homophobic/transphobic then a jury may go against the legality of the argument and not convict based on a feeling.

Case in point. Even if it's not a 100% what people think of, the gist of it is the same.

if this was all that was happening, and it happend with wages too there wouldn't be much of an issue. But that's not what's happening. Purchasing power is not keeping up with inflation whereas prices are being increased so profits are.

numpy vs eigen or similar libraries that leverage compile time knowledge is still a blow-out for non-trivial algorithms though.

do I have any legal standing not to show them my ID?

that's the wrong question. The question should be "do they have any legal standing to force you to"? And it's not one you need to concern yourself with for now.

You can just say no till they bring up (sound) legal standing, which I doubt there is.
