I'm not saying it implies that. I'm saying that trans people and established research both say that. Your minimal experience with one of the detrans subreddits is not more substantial of a source than first hand accounts and peer reviewed papers.

Did you spend substantial time in /r/detrans and /r/actualdetrans? Were you aware of drama around when that split happened? Discussed it in the other trans communities on the sites? Because right now, your comments make it seem like you're a passerby who has popped into a trans community and tried to say that your interactions with one community known for astroturfing are more meaningful than decades of research.

It's not even people being offended that creates the rules a lot of the time. If you don't have strict and clear cut rules, it's going to eat up a ton of mod time trying to keep out trolls and people asking the same things repeatedly in bad faith. I liked the split that was on Reddit between an asktransgender group and the groups meant for community.

For me though, I've just never wanted to be in that particular kind of place as a trans person. It takes a lot of energy to constantly answer the unintentionally offensive and invasive questions from all the people in your family, job, and just general day to day life. It's hard to find people who consistently can and want to give time to helping slowly warm people up to the same basic facts that they could find on their own.

Part of the issue it seems like people are having in this thread is that it's really unclear what you mean by nonpolitical help.

I've never experienced any communities calling gender dysphoria beautiful, but I also see that idea as distinct from acknowledging it as a real problem that affects people. I don't think it's in any way political to talk about the fact that gender affirming care is well supported by medical research.

It's also important to note when in your injection cycle you tested. I'm mostly interested in what my trough values will be (so immediately prior to the next injection), since that's the best approximation of steady state tissue levels. Especially on a two week injection cycle of EV, I'd be worried about my levels dipping quite low by the end of the cycle.

This still just feels like a muddying of technical language. If you were to write an article about autopilot killing somebody and use object to refer to them, that's certainly dehumanization, but saying that an object detection algorithm performs poorly on humans doesn't feel like it is.

Part of the problem is that in general we aren't talking about specialized human detection models that incorporate things like pose estimation. Instead it is almost always a general object detection alg, and referring to the same models differently based on the subject just adds muddiness.

I'm mostly familiar with AI within healthcare, and in my workplace, any released model is going to have a number of conversations and evaluations about the technical performance, practical impact on patients, and general ethics of the model. Those conversations blend, but it's harmful to make the language less clear in any one of those contexts.

I'm also interested in this for using stremio from phones and PCs. Chromecast in particular also kinda sucks due to limited codec support.

Yeah same, except it was later overturned where I live and they came right back. Luckily, at lesser numbers, because more of us were used to bringing our own by then.

Obviously everyone else is right when they say that clearly this isn't your fault, and add the most of the visual feminization comes from fat distribution, so it's going to need to be there anyway.

I also want to mention that changes only really happen once your hormone levels get to where they should be. For some people, it takes a while to work with their doctor to get T suppressed and E elevated enough to start seeing changes. Just keep up with your labs and don't be afraid to talk with your doctor about hormone levels that aren't where you think they should be.

A nice npr segment where they talked about mattress store because there are a bafflingly large number of them.

I absolutely do love all the things you named. I feel like in both chocolate and coffee that the milk rounds out flavors to be nice and smooth, but you lose some of detail. Sometimes they both go too far and end up in a sour or bitter mess, but I really enjoy the tastes on the edge of being too far.

Hot showers are just luxury. Put some lotion on after and your skin will be fine.

How far did you go on ensuring you got the cross pollination you wanted? I'm going to try a cross in the fall and am planning on bagging the bud and cutting out the anthers, but that may be overboard.

How hot is it where you're at? I have some overwintered peppers that are still full of fruit that set earlier in the season, but pretty much every flower has fallen off for a while now. High heat doesn't reduce flowering much, but it does dramatically stop fruit production.

If you're in the US, I'm in a hardiness zone of 8b/9a though. We have a very long growing season so I know I'll get a fall harvest as well out of both new and old plants.
