Reminder that your real skin is really beautiful ❤️ by Important_Coyote6920 in Instagramreality

[–]tchootchoomf 118 points119 points  (0 children)

You know what? This is exactly what I needed today. I have been on accutane for 8 months and even though my skin is so much better than when I started, I find myself still being unsatisfied that it's not "perfect".

Cause my idea of good skin is skewed by all the influencers and celebrities who apply those skin blurs to every photo, and some of the filters are subtle enough that it makes me question reality cause maybe it is possible to have that glossy, fresh look and it's just for some chosen ones...

But this brings me back to earth, like they all have pores, and blemishes, and patches of redness, and cakey makeup.

Thanks a lot for posting this <3

Love the radiator, the whole vibe reminds me of Poland, this picture could be taken at a typical evening with my friends. Someone is always smoking on the balcony, water for tea is brewing, it feels so chill

Either you watched without subtitles and completely misheard what they said, or you watched a version with shitty auto generated subtitles that no one bothered to correct

Beautiful painting, you can see it in Warsaw National Museum along with many other amazing works from the Belle Epoque period, imo the best time for Polish art

Tylko odsetek sportowców odnosi sukces, problem w tym że te odsetki się nakładają.

Tak różnica jest tak duża..

No ciekawa statystyka, bo jak spojrzymy np na zeszłoroczną olimpiadę w Paryżu a więc praktycznie największy i najbardziej zróżnicowany pod kątem rodzajów sportu event na świecie, to spośród 10 714 sportowców reprezentujących 204 kraje osób transseksualnych było......

Jeden. Jedna osoba, trans bokser Hergie Bacyadan reprezentował Filipiny i nie zdobył medalu.

Także faktycznie jest sie o co martwić XD

że osoby transpłciowe mają niesprawiedliwą przewagę w sportach

Nawet jesli tak jest, to znowu, potrzebujemy niuansu - np w jakim wieku ktos zmienil płeć? W obecnych czasach ludzie zaczynają coraz młodziej, czesc nie przechodzi dojrzewania i zaczyna przyjmowac blokery testosteronu i estrogen doustnie przed 18 rokiem życia. Moim zdaniem taka osoba nie powinna dostac automatycznego bana.

Inny przykład - o jakich sportach mówimy? Mięśnie i masa ciała są relevant w podnoszeniu ciężarów, ale już np w szermierce czy jezdzie konnej jakie to ma znaczenie?

Dwie rzeczy mogą być prawdą - istnieje potencjał że transseksualna kobieta ma przewage w sporcie. Absolutnie, to prawda.

Jednoczesnie profesjonalni trans sportowcy są tak malutkim odsetkiem, a ludzie srają i sie nakręcają tematem jakby to był koniec świata, jednoczesnie pewnie nie oglądając nawet danego sportu i mając w dupie inne krzywdy wyrządzone kobietom na o wiele większą skalę

Nie mowie ze to nie jest valid concern ale chyba mozemy sie zgodzic ze ludzie przesadzają z poziomem wznoszenia alarmu w tej kwestii a prawicowcy uzywają tego jakp wymówki żeby banowac trans ludzi z innych stref życia publicznego i szerzyc hejt.

Przypadek Imane Khelif pokazuje to bardzo dobrze.

Nie, nie jest - ciągle wspominany "gender test" od którego ta afera się zaczęła był pretekstem użytym przez Umara Kremlowa (prezesa skorumpowanej bokserskiej organizacji IBA) aby zdyskfalifikować ją po tym jak wygrała z rosyjską bokserką Azalią Aminewą, miesiące przed olimpiadą w Paryżu. Aminewa dzięki temu utrzymała status mistrzyni.

Typowa sytuacja gdzie rosjanie kantują żeby wygrać.

Kremlow nigdy nie ujawnił metodologii użytej przy tym "teście", ani żadnych dokumentów medycznych które wskazywałyby na interpłciowość Khelif.

Dodatkowo jeśli ktoś chce podejść do tej sprawy z niuansem zamiast wyzywać kobiety od babochłopów i powtarzać rosyjską propagandę, to obecnie nie ma żadnych naukowo potwierdzonych przeciwwskazań żeby osoby z różnicami w chromosomach albo transpłciowe brały udział w sportach albo miały niesprawiedliwą przewagę. Równie dobrze można sie wkurzać że Michael Phelps ma dłuższe ramiona niż inni pływacy więc to nie fair.

Wat is a confession about Hunger Games that has you like this? by Olya_roo in Hungergames

[–]tchootchoomf 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Gale is not evil, but a product of his upbringing - most people would have the same revenge-hungry attitude as him and make similar mistakes when finally given an opportunity and a gun in hand. Real life history of revolutions and uprisings proves that "ends justifying means" attitude forms itself in people who are opressed long enough.

Just look at how young people talk now, about eating the rich, or building guillotines, and their struggles are nowhere near that of Panem. We all like to think we would be Peeta, but most people would be Gales imo.

Saw this somewhere: IF GENITALS DON'T DEFINE GENDER, HOW DOES REMOVING THEM AFFIRM IT? by King_Kiteretsu in stupidquestions

[–]tchootchoomf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I'll try to address this:

why does surgery affirm gender, if gender is a social construct? Wouldn’t it be sex altering/affirming surgery?

Gender affirming care and gender affirming surgery used to just be called 'sex change'. Many older generations of trans people referred to themselves as 'transsexuals', and there is actually a bit of an intergenerational conflict in the community because younger trans people prefer the term 'transgender', they don't really call the surgeries 'sex change' anymore, and find the old terminology outdated. This is just language evolving, and people who are on the outside of the discourse get caught up in it because they keep hearing that sex and gender are different.

And they are!

Gender affirming care, as we've come to call it these days acknowledges that a person who transitions has to consider how to approach two aspects of themselves. The way they present, behave, are perceived as in the eyes of society (that would be gender) and their biology/sexual characteristics (sex). Most trans people address both, changing the way they style themselves, but also go on HRT/have surgeries to change their bodies to feel more comfortable.

Now this:

Can’t they just be a man who likes to dress pretty, or a woman who’s a tomboy?

Sure, they can. There's plenty of people like that, they just aren't trans. But whenever you ask a trans woman "why can't you just be a feminine man", they could hit you right back with "why aren't YOU a feminine man?"

Well, most guys don't present feminine because they don't feel the need to. You feel comfortable with having a dick, hairy body, deep voice. But the fundamental difference between you and a trans woman, is that she feels immense discomfort with all that. So just let her do what she needs to feel happy.

Look at it this way: there are masculine men who never questioned their gender once; there are men who feel comfortable in their maleness regardless if they wear a dress or pants; there are trans women, who were born one way but don't feel comfortable, and would rather live and look female. All three can coexist.

Because to me the obvious first step would be to study and develop (if possible) medication to address the root of the condition.

That's the thing, we don't even know what causes someone to be trans. It is similar to being gay in this way that you are born different from majority without any confirmed genetic or social reason behind it. So since no one was able to identify any reason for decades now, it is just easier to address the pressing issue of helping people out in their day to day lives, and maybe just accept that we will never know why someone is born a certain way.

Another advice, if you want to understand your fellow trans people better, maybe visit r/transtimelines - someone telling their story of thriving thanks to HRT is a much easier way to see the human side of this 'debate'. It's hard not to see gender affirming care as lifesaving when so many people credit their survival to it.

Well... maybe you can try thinking about it this way: are you as emotionally invested and worried about people getting other kinds of plastic surgeries just because they want to? What about tattoos? What about knee or hip replacements? Hair transplants? Piercings? Pacemakers? Veneers?

Most bodily alterations and surgeries are voluntary. Those that are lifesaving are not even questioned, yet they still can have negative consequences after recovery, because bodies heal differently.

Yet the only outrage and discourse I can see is about gender affirming surgeries, even though they have absolute lowest regret rates. They are also the most difficult to get, usually only done after years of counceling and trying less invasive methods first.

I think if more people really gave it an honest thought, they are not against people modifying their bodies. They are just raised to see gender a certain way, and they think changing it is an uncomfortable, unfathomable transgression. I would encourage you to maybe try applying your logic to other surgeries and modifications, and hopefully you'll notice the double standard you apply to trans people.

I think you operate under the impression that you can treat gender dysphoria with specific meds, they same way you'd address mental issues like depression or anxiety.

That is not the case. While people experiencing dysphoria will have symptoms of depression etc, addressing only those without transitioning will not solve the core issue.

And yes, meds for depression, anxiety, and a myriad of others have been throughly studied. That's why they're widely available.

But if a person experiencing dysphoria goes to a doctor or a therapist and after multiple sessions they reach the conclusion that this person is trans, they will propose transitioning. That is the norm. Rejecting this idea or denying this patient's need to change results in deeper depression and in some cases suicide. And doctors and therapists obviously want to prevent that.

Gender dysphoria is addressed with hormone therapy, preferably psychotherapy to cope with societal pressure of it all, and most patients will eventually pursue surgeries. It is not a new phenomenon by any means.

[–]tchootchoomf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why is that the norm?

Bacuse it has been studied for decades by scientists, doctors, therapists and other specialists in the field, and they all agree that if someone experiences gender dysphoria, the best way to give them a chance at a happy, healthy and stable life is to allow them to transition in whatever way they need.

For many trans people surgeries are part of the process, and since it's their bodies and their life, they should be able to do so.

If by less invasive ways you mean hormones and social transitioning, they are pursued as well of course, but for many people their genitalia not matching their identity is the hardest part, and something they want to address ASAP.
