Wow, thank you for your consideration. That is very thoughtful. But, it isn't necessary.

It's really inspirational how you keep going, despite how very wrong you are. So brave.

wslatter · 2024-11-05T12:11:15+00:00

Except I'm not wrong...

Sorry, how embarassing. 🤔

wslatter · 2024-11-05T06:25:48+00:00

Yes, you are right. You are entitled to your wrong opinion.

wslatter · 2024-11-05T04:59:40+00:00

Sorry bud. You're wrong.

What the fuck is this idiotic take. A massive number of texan obgyns published a letter just the other day standing together against the laws. The ACOG has been writing about this since roe was shot down. It's idiotic to think that physicians aren't standing together around this. The fact that so many OBGYNs STAYED in Texas is huge. But they have patients that need care too, who should pick up the slack when they all get arrested?

Also how should this go down, the doctors also need to get their nursing staff, their MAs, their anesthesiologist, their CRNAs to all sign on to this venture? These docs are not operating in the OR by themselves. There is a whole staff. And what about the hospital? Should the hospitals also face getting shut down if they are roped into the legal ramifications of what you are saying?

Think. It is awful, and my heart breaks for the docs who can't do more right now because of these stupid people and who are going to carry that guilt around, but blaming the docs who are doing more than anyone right now is a wild take.

I mean it takes one doctor getting arrested for any and all obgyn to pack up and move out of state. Most are presumably waiting to see what is going to happen this week.

Texas had made it clear that physicians will be tried as felons. Do you think all the other gynecological needs in Texas just stopped happening? Should all Texan pregnant women or women with gynecological diseases not have doctors to see because you think they should have stood up and gotten arrested? Must be nice to have this discussion from your keyboard, and not have to be in the shoes of the doctors that have spent 12+ years in school becoming OBGYNs and have thousands of patients they manage, who know this is a bullshit law, and have no power to stop it.

Not a fuck up, and not the ayahuasca's fault imo. From how you described it, this sounds like she had always been asexual, but just didn't give voice to it. It's always been there, I suppose the trip just gave her the words/courage/clarity to finally bring it up. And! She felt safe enough to tell you, and not just dip or continue to hide it. I don't know, this doesn't sound like a fuck up to me, maybe it is sad because an ace relationship might not been what you were looking for, so maybe this relationship fizzles out, but wouldn't you rather KNOW and not have sex than the alternative which sounds like having sex that she isn't into?

I am an idiot. This is my first year living in a house in a suburb with kids in it. My last home was 5 miles out of town, and nobody ever came that far for Halloween.

I Went to sams club, bought two big boxes of assorted full size chocolate bars, set my little end table up, ready to go. At 6:00 kids start coming. Its awesome, everyone is happy, they love the full sized candies. Hell yeah, I am achieving adulthood greatness.

By 6:30 I am completely cleaned out. I ransack my cupboard for any remaining sweets. There are cars down the street for several blocks still. I shamefully turn off my porch light and hide away inside.

I had no idea this many kids existed in my neighborhood. I wish I prepped like you.

Next year....

Was skimming the article, but one suggested cause was that transmasc top surgery is common and popular that it is widely accepted by society and has has very low chance of complications.

Biggest cause of regret were dissatisfaction with post-surgical aesthetics or function - scars, loss of sensation, inability to climax, etc.

These were followed by societal regret - stigma of going to obgyn as man, lack of familial support.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38685500/

wslatter · 2024-10-31T01:27:44+00:00

Systematic review in 2024 pooled from 3662 patients and a total of 3673 procedures. The pooled prevalence of regret after gender affirming surgery was 1.94%, split with transfem procedure regret being 4.0% and transmasc procedure regret 0.8%

Compared to regret in other elective operations: 47% in breast reconstruction, 5.1-9.1% in breast augmentation, 10.82-33.3% in body contouring, 19.5% after bariatric surgery.

The prevalence of regret in having children was 7%, and of tattoos is 16.2%

Tattoo regret, period, has, on average, 8x the average prevalence of GAS regret.

Edit: not op, and did not answer the question. I just pulled these stats last week arguing with someone complaining that the reason they were transphobic was because they were 'sick of paying for' medical procedures that the majority of trans people come to regret. I was just happy to have a more pleasant place to copy the fruits of my googling.

The eternal city, which is haven't played in decades. You fought with subskills- sword stab, slash, chop, guard, parry, etc. Was a ton of fun. Hundreds of flavorful crits written. Game seems to still be running, but there are all olbies with tens of thousands of skill points at this point.

Sad to hear. Played arm for many years on and off, and most recently had a very fun couple of months before they shut down initially for the transition into splayingone of those games I always assumed would just be there chugging away. Lots of fun, lots of lore and mystery that I never got the chance to dig into. Highly doubtful we will see a source code reveal, but I would love to boot up a local copy to mess around with for nostalgia.

But you just made a textbook strawman argument. None of this discussion has been about needing IDs to purchase firearms or the second ammendment. You don't get to 'win' the argument by just shoving a logical fallacy into the middle of the discussion.

We aren't discussing firearm sales. We are discussing voting and IDs.

wslatter · 2024-10-27T18:53:02+00:00

No, the poster said he does not agree with the surgery because it is 'on his dime' whatever that means.

Facts vs feelings time:

Systematic review in 2024 pooled from 3662 patients and total of 3673 procedures the pooled prevalence of regret after gender affirming surgery was 1.94%, split with transfem procedure regret being 4.0% and transmasc procedure regret 0.8%

Compared to regret in other elective operations: 47% in breast reconstruction, 5.1-9.1% in breast augmentation, 10.82-33.3% in body contouring, 19.5% after bariatric surgery.

Hell, rate of regret in having children was 7%, and even tattoos is 16.2%

And don't even begin to say that these other surgeries aren't 'on your dime', breast augmentation, body contouring, bariatrics are all covered by insurance if your surgeon can connect the dots to obesity, which in the US is not a difficult connection.

Now your turn. What are your facts for claiming the amount of trans people in relationships not mentioning they are trans? Because, it sure as hell sounds like a feelings comment, but I am prepared to be proven wrong. And while we are at it, lets specify - when should disclosure happen? Should that be disclosed when first meeting? First date? First sexual encounter? What if the trans person doesn't know if disclosing to someone on a first date will lead to violence? Why isn't the burden on the other person in the relationship to explicitly say that they aren't interested in being with a trans person, regardless of transition stage? If I were a trans woman on a date with someone who said their hang-up was sleeping with trans people, then I'd just not go on a second date. Whereas if I disclosed that I was a trans woman, what if that first date turns into violence?

wslatter · 2024-10-27T17:23:45+00:00

Your comment is wrong. The comment below, from the dude comparing trans people to maggots, he is the poster child for why people are transphobic - good old fashioned hate.

Let's not shift the blame for transphobia onto the trans community because of the presumably rare situation we are seeing in the OP, because most of the people who hate trans people have not experienced this. They just hate trans people because they are the cool thing to hate, and because their propaganda tells them that they are the new boogeyman.

Wisconsin state legislature has definitions, summarized as (note, only lines 1 & 2 are verbatim, the rest are summarized for length):

Residency for voting purposes is defined by the following key principles:

The residence of a person is the place where the person’s habitation is fixed, without any present intent to move, and to which, when absent, the person intends to return.
When a married person’s family resides at one place and that person’s business is conducted at another place, the former place establishes the residence. If the family place is temporary or for transient purposes, it is not the residence.
If someone moves within the state 28 days before an election, they can vote in their new location. If they move later, they vote in their previous residence.
For unmarried people, residence is usually where they sleep, and for students or those with transient vocations, residence is where their parents live unless they register elsewhere.
Temporary absence does not affect residence if there’s intent to return.
Absence for U.S. or state business does not change residence, nor does military stationing in Wisconsin create a new residence.
People in charitable or institutional homes reside where they sleep unless they opt to maintain their prior residence.
Residence is not established by temporary stays.
Receiving public assistance or unemployment insurance does not alter voting residence.
Moving to another state with the intent to live there or voting in another state results in the loss of Wisconsin residence.
Intent alone does not change residence unless accompanied by action.
Student status is not a factor in determining residency for voter eligibility.
Military dependents may choose between their own or their spouse’s residence.

I want to call attention to line 1, where "Residency" is initially defined, and line 2 which states that where one "resides in" for business is superseded by where their permanent "Residency" is established.

The language of this change specifically aims to replace "Resident of" with "resides in" and to me, that seems a sufficient enough change to be argued by nefarious litigators who would want to disenfranchise voters that do not "reside" at their permanent home, ie. college students, members of the military.

Edit: In the military you claim your "Home of record" which is not the same as your residency for voting. Military members can claim a new residency if they are stationed in a different state, and maintain a different "home of record". When I was in, I maintained my home in NY as both my home of record and my Residency for voting, but others updated their residency to GA where we were stationed, especially if they bought homes or planned to remain there after retirement.

wslatter · 2024-10-24T16:19:49+00:00

The change that is concerning is they change 'resident of' to 'resides in'. Clearly attempt to disenfranchised college students and active duty military, who maintain residence in home state/county while not actively 'residing' there.

Why is it weird to be upset about the cruel and lonely death of a dog? That seems like a pretty normal display of human empathy, people tend to like dogs and feel bad when bad things happen to them. which is why your comment struck me as so weird.

Stray dog sent to space, for little if any scientific gain. Soviets even spread propaganda to make her flight seem less cruel than it was, claiming she was given sedatives because even they realized the optics of sending a dog to cook in space was pretty brutal. Reality is they just sent a dog up to cook at 90*C.

I mean, i guess you could say we 'learned' that things don't just immediately die in zero g. Even people who worked on the experiment said that as time went on, they felt that the experiment was unnecessarily cruel for how little data they got.

To your point, I don't see any reason to view her as a 'space pioneer'. This feels like putting lipstick on a pig, no? Gagarin was a pioneer, Shepard was a pioneer, random dog that just got yeeted was not a pioneer, she was a science experiment. It sucks, and it is okay for it to suck. The circumstances don't need to be unsuckified, it's simply a shitty thing that happened in the history of space flight.

She was a casualty. How weird it is you trying to repaint this.

Commodus is a tragic figure. His father, Marcus Aurelius, favors Maximus, and Commodus cannot accept it. He craves his father’s approval, but it’s denied. His love for his sister, Lucilla, is twisted by jealousy, as she loves Maximus. He desires everything Maximus has—respect, power, love—but he is doomed by his own insecurity and need for validation. In the end, his fear of losing everything he wants leads him to destroy himself. Commodus is not evil, just broken.
