Schrodinger's puberty blocker: a child with precocious puberty starts taking a safe and legal drug. Later, she realizes she is trans. The drug is now dangerous and banned.

We donโ€™t yet know the risks of stopping pubertal hormones at this critical life stage. That is the basis upon which I am making decisions. I am treading cautiously in this area because the safety of children must come first. 7/9

"Chemotherapy works on cรฏs people with cancer, but we just don't have enough evidence that it does on trans people with cancer. Therefore we are banning all chemotherapy care for trans people until such research demonstrates it is useful."

"chemotherapy won't solve trans people experiencing mental health issues due to street harassment so they shouldn't get it and also they should get more harassment" just the stupidest most ghoulish arguments that we're supposed to take seriously

There are cis women who get turned on by being a sexual caricature of a woman (bimbo fetish). I'm begging trans women to observe cis women and the wide variety of weird stuff they're into and stop believing that we need specific rules for how trans women are allowed to exist.

@assignedmedia There are people who get turned on by the misogynistic idea of them being some sexual caricature of a woman. This is what I think of when I think AGP. It's just that those people don't transition, so the idea that it's a driving force in transition is false. But they do exist

PBs block production of sex hormones, which when used by a prepubescent, will delay puberty, aka a pause, i.e. a temporary stop. Production resumes when the medication is stopped. This is true for whoever takes it. Do y'all get stuck when driving routes with stop signs?

Nothing is static. The person you think is a fetishist today might discover they're trans in a decade. Who gives a shit. There are billions of people and we are all weird in different ways.

My short story "Recollections of the Abyssopelagic Dredge" is out now in Inner Worlds. Come for the mystery of the deep sea. Stay as trust and community are subsumed by insubstantial black muck.

Have you ever wondered: how many liters of blood drunk is equal to a liter of pee produced? Well I'm not sure, but you should read FLUID PERMISSIONS, a short story about a young vampire navigating her needs and desires.

@AriDrennen So unserious to claim a dichotomy of "evidence-based medicine experts" vs "people who write trans care guidelines". Akin to claiming climate scientists are too biased to be trusted on climate change bc they write the IPCC.

New story story. Got a lil silly with this one. A young vampire tries to find friends and a purpose while navigating her bodily needs and desires. Read FLUID PERMISSIONS on itch, free or pay what you want.
