Lots of people have degrees, including plenty of blue collar workers these days due to increased labor expectations and shortages in labor demand. I think it's surprisingly common for a person with a bachelor's or associate's degree to trust experts, although I think impulse that might be waning

Gosh, and folks wonder why laypeople think academics are stuck up assholes who don't understand practical matters.

Showed this to my cis girlfriend. Her reply was "oh no" 🤭

Once again, nobody would be even having this conversation if a cis girl got bullied by being called “a man” and school administrators stepped in to stop the bullying.

But when they try to protect a trans person, suddenly it becomes a free speech issue.

It’s all about hating trans people.

Vague posting is cringe, name names

I'm just a dork who enjoys the needless complexity of 3.5E. Pathfinder is usually what I compromise with, because it's similar enough but easier to understand. Also I like doing things that are jank

Yeah, they'll catch my attention 😉

Lol. Lmao, even.

What about it?

That's why it's good! Heaven help me, I'm turning into one of those reality TV enthusiasts, but for stupid gay people

Wtf, she labeled you? I don't understand half the time why people get marked like this

It does say there is a correlation between blood clots and high estrogen levels, but also neglects to acknowledge that cis women will naturally have estrogen peak as high as 400 pg/ml outside of pregnancy, and no one I've seen wants to restrict cis women's estrogen levels to cap at 200.
November 17, 2025 at 9:58 PM
The second part is a real stinker, though. It defines anything over 200pg/ml to be a supratherapeutic (over recommended levels) but from what I skimmed doesn't source studies on why anything in the higher range of cis women is meaningfully dangerous

The first study seems fine if easy to misinterpret: "Lower doses of injectable estradiol can achieve therapeutic estradiol levels with excellent testosterone suppression. Spironolactone was not associated with additional testosterone suppression and may result in lower estradiol levels."
November 17, 2025 at 9:08 PM
I'll be honest, I've only read the article so far. If the study suggests lowering max dosage, that's fucked up
November 17, 2025 at 8:28 PM
They don't seem to be celebrating the idea of lowering doses either, this study just seems to stress that even on lower doses you can suppress T with injections better than traditional anti androgens.
Don't ask me why the study didn't isolate the variables, tho
November 17, 2025 at 8:21 PM
They may have edited the story, but this Pink News article seems to be talking about how mono therapy estrogen injections suppress T levels better than tablets + Spiro..... Which is actually a fine conclusion, Spiro sucks and injections are great.

I could be wrong about this, but I really do worry that seeing electoral gains for themselves despite their own bigotry is worse for their character than witnessing Republicans success with appealing to biggots directly

This is actually the one thing that would make me not vote for a "left" wing candidate rn. People like Gavin Newson would absolutely make being anti trans properly bipartisan, so therefore it's better to let the right wing win so shiftless liberals might reflexively be less transphobic
