- Comment on NHS England pauses new prescriptions of cross-sex hormones for under-18s 4 hours ago:
For anyone saying to ‘not let kids make permanent decisions’: A) these hormones are still being forced on intersex children regardless of impact on their mental health, and B) these hormones are also prescribed to cis children at even younger ages if deemed medically necessary for any reason, including mental health.
These laws aren’t about safety or concern for children. It is about controlling who gets access to necessary medical care, which should be a decision between a patient and their doctor.
- Comment on British female athletes forced to pay for sex tests to compete 2 days ago:
Men don’t have to do this, but FTM athletes, or any other athletes who take testosterone for medical reasons, are normally barred from competitions as a result. Because we are already banned from most sports, we don’t need to be added into thes3 laws, but simply overturning explicit bans on trans people won’t allow us to compete either. What we really need is an overhaul of sports to make them based on things besides assumed sex.
- Comment on YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They improve heart health and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. They contain almost no calories 4 weeks ago:
Roasting them in a non-cast iron pan is the way to lose the least amount of vitamin C out of all available cooking methods. And to someone who won’t eat radishes if they aren’t cooked, they get more vitamin C eating them cooked than not eating them at all.

If anyone here dislikes the peppery taste of raw radishes, I recommend cutting them into chunks, tossing with some olive oil, salt, and other seasoning and roast them until they are tender. This gets rid of the peppery taste and makes them taste more like potatoes or turnips.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 11 months ago:
There are a lot of edgy athiests using all their time attacking trans people these days, because an unfortunate number of them are mainly athiests as a way to hate Muslims. And the ones taking the time to attack trans people have almost all joined the alt right, which has been responsible for a lot of attacks on innocent people.
They may not be killing in the name of atheism, but they have been in the same of “reason” and “defence of women”.
- Comment on Are there any historical or modern day true stories (like the story of The Buddha) of someone born rich and privileged who just walked away from their family and turned down money and an inheritance? 1 year ago:
Saint Francis of Assisi did this. He renounced his family name, inheritance, and (according to legend) the clothes on his back when his dad took issue with him giving alms. He spent the rest of his life wandering with a small group of other penitents and providing comfort to the sick, especially those with leprosy.
- Comment on 18 treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercing 1 year ago:
Fair, but people have sensitivity and allergy to different things. Adding it to an existing list of potential deal breakers for those who would rather not risk their health is a case of cost/benefit: it costs nothing and benefits many.
- Comment on 18 treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercing 1 year ago:
…You are aware of how both allergies and air quality works, right? Also, most shows even in art houses don’t include scent effects of any kind, hence the warning. If it were common, the warning would likely be unnecessary.
But lovely of you to claim I am the oversensitive one, as apparently adding a single word to an already existing warning, one that could literally save someone’s life by preventing a physical ailment, is too much for you to handle reading!
- Comment on 18 treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercing 1 year ago:
Having a warning for that is incredibly important, mostly in cases where people may be allergic or have sensitivity to certain smells. Incense is not something you would expect at a theater performance, so if I went to a showing without that warning, I wouldn’t know to take my allergy meds and may have walked out of there with a migraine or needing my inhaler, depending on what kind of incense they used.
