Um das, was Jagermo schreibt, zu bestätigen: Du solltest wirklich bei einer Gewerkschaft sein, weil die Dir - vor allem auch - Rechtsschutz geben kann.

Die Gewerkschaften haben Anwälte an der Hand, deren einzige Aufgabe es ist Angestellten wir Dir beizustehen und Arbeitgeber wie Deinem die Hölle heiß zu machen. Auf deren Unterstützung zurückgreifen zu können, falls es hart-auf-hart kommt, macht einen großen Unterschied. Davon mal abgesehen, dass Du Dich dort auch beraten lassen kannst und überhaupt Leute findest, mit denen Du über sowas reden kannst.

I don’t know where I heard this, but it’s a lesson I have taken in: Nature does not strive for perfection, all it requires is a “good enough”.

And that may very well be one of the reasons why so many people (the worst kind of atheists and christian supremacists among them) are challenged by the existence of queer people: They consider humans to be the pinnacle of creation/evolution and the messy reality of queer people’s existence undermines the core of their beliefs. Yet humans are flawed, inherently messy creatures and in that messiness grow strange, often beautiful flowers.

It’s not just pride marches in the US. US companies are backing out of pride events all over the globe. And then there are all the non-US companies who laid down and rolled over the moment Trump threatened to block them from making deals with the US government. So even pride events outside of the US are struggling because of Trump and his goons.

Unfortunately with some basic chemical knowledge it can be obtained rather easily from household items or hardware stores: Batteries, cleaning products, bleach,…

The question is somewhat difficult to answer, because the reactions to HRT are very individual. They depend on things like your age, your genetic make-up and the kind of HRT you get (what kind of drugs, what dosage, etc.)

To put things as general as possible: If you start HRT you may first feel euphoria, which is (more often than not) a purely psychological reaction. The actual effects of HRT will usually begin to manifest after a few weeks (once again: highly depending on what you are taking and how your body reacts to it). Unlike the initial psychological effect this will usually be more gradual, as your body and mind “ease into” their new state of being.

The obvious physical effects usually take months to manifest (growth of breast tissue, etc), though infertility can come earlier, particularly if you take anti-androgens or progesterone.

Because you specifically asked about sperm, the effects of HRT are (mostly) reversible in that regard, particularly if you haven’t taken HRT for long. Some people can become fertile after months, sometimes even years of HRT, once they stop taking it.

So: Yes, most people can stop HRT for a while, freeze some sperm and then go back on. There are no guarantees, but it works far more often than not.

And that’s the difference between minor depressive disorder and major depressive disorder. Thank you for attending Depression 101.

I moments of crisis, I will just start crying, but I can do that very fast.

They don’t want to save Hollywood, they want to control it. They can’t control it if the studios shoot their films outside of the US.

Ooooh, cookie! Thanks! 😋

Yes, do feed the squirrels!

When “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” was shot, Harrison Ford was 47. Sean Connery was 59 and played the father of Ford’s character.

The Guardian shedding crocodile’s tears? Boohoo, we spend years vilifying trans people and now look what happened…

I pity the guy. He tried really damn hard (without much success) and then I had to murder him.

Beans, you say? 🐾

Hardware updates take a little longer.

Don’t mention it, thank you for pointing it out.

That’s the woke mind virus taking control…
