Northern Hemisphere Reasoning:
December Solstice has the least daylight, so for every day of Winter & Spring, daylight increases, up to the Summer Solstice.
June Solstice has the most daylight, so for every day of Summer & Autumn, daylight decreases, up to the Winter Solstice.

FOR THE MILLIONTH FUCKING TIME, KIDS ARE NOT RECEIVING THESE SURGERIES JUST BECAUSE THEY’RE TRANS!!!!!! IF bottom surgeries are done on kids, it’s not for gender affirming care, it’s due to disease or injury that requires it. And FYI 80% of pediatric top surgery was breast reductions on cis boys. 🤬🤬
