Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to trans chat. If your birth family sucks hopefully you have or had a better celebration with your friends/found family.
I've gotten kids in my unit who have lice, usually the family is quite poor and lives fairly remotely and has inadequate housing and everyone's cramped. Every time we have kids with lice, without fail, everyone's heads start itching. Totally psychosomatic, you hear someone near you has lice and your scalp itches.
There's dubious home remedies for lice, you mightve heard about using mayo or Vaseline to suffocate the lice. It doesn't work that well, the nits survive and then go back to munching. Sometimes box hair bleach kills them, the strong bleaching ones, but some nits can survive it and you'll get back to a head full of lice soon enough. There's shampoo you can get from a doctor/pharmacy that will kill them, do a few washes as prescribed and they die.
You can pick nits with a very fine tooth comb if you'd prefer. Just keep an eye out on your itchiness and see if you can get someone to do your hair and you'll do theirs.
You can't do singles combat if you're PAIRED UP
If you two don't mind we should all collectively go to the movies, everyone in tracha and then quiz your puppy wife about the show
momma didn't raise no shrimp
There was a time when you could more or less hang a shingle and start out in your garage, but who'd bother when wages were so good. It is weird to think of how you couldn't really fail back then, even doing stupid stuff like opening up a hot tub tuning business or billy bass refinishing
But you make it seem so easy!
Regardless of assigned birth sex, everyone can get breast cancer. Including those who were assigned male, cis men never ever think it can happen to them. But it can, and it does. Also, just for your own future safety - you should be feeling your breasts for lumps and bumps fairly regularly (see weekly at the least often) but that includes the tissue that goes up into your arm pit. Breast tissue extends quite far and anywhere along it can get cancerous.
Taking feminizing HRT does increase your risk of breast cancer - to juuuust under cis woman levels of risk lol. Breast development could be misdiagnosed as cancer, sure, especially if it's a doctor who is very very unfamiliar with breast development but I'd doubt it. Getting your breasts checked now should help you feel better, especially for a lump that was already there before HRT. It's probably going to be nothing.
They don't actually believe this because of how they treat intersex kids
Then they're all for HRT and puberty blockers and surgeries whether the child can consent or not or whether the child even wants it if theyre older. But a kid who might actually want them because of gender dysphoria? Well now hold on.

You have a snake!!!?!
That's so cool, I love snakes. They're so adorable!
You should probably get it checked out.
Could be testicular torsion or a hernia (yes intestines can herniate into your balls) or a cyst. Better to get it checked. Torsion is an emergency but if that's what it was you'd probably be laid up in an ER - they're quite painful.
This is gross but a friend of mine is an ultrasound tech, and they do indeed do ultrasounds on testicles. Anyway, she had a young guy in - mid 30s - who's one ball just didn't exist anymore. He used to have it, but he ignored the pain and over the years of that it just fuckin died and turned into liquid before being reabsorbed. Kinda freaky.
Small dicks are underrated aren't they... 🤔
Real estate is code for unemployed BTW lol, you can get a license and not sell a single house. It's an easy gig to fuck around in when you haven't worked a real job
It gets worse after the first season, and it doesn't get any better. They have so many people in the pods, like way more than what they show (something like 60). The ones they don't show are probably normal people who didn't make great TV. Plus, the last couple seasons they cast by haunting Instagram accounts lol
The English have dumped enough of their garbage in the oceans
Eventually we have to consider it abandonment but parents have a wide latitude in deciding the course of their kids' treatment (we try not to do things without consent anymore or against parents' consent). We eventually convinced these parents to allow us to put on nasal prongs for oxygen in their kid, I didn't push it and ask if we can draw bloodwork or start an IV now and just let her scream it out until she fell asleep.
I was getting DV vibes or controlling/emotional abuse vibes from one of the parents but I couldn't get them to leave so I can ask the kid and the other parent, which is always frustrating. No suspicious marks and they followed instructions on not yelling and swearing in wee hours of the early morning on the pediatrics ward after they did the one time so I have no basis for separating them out. I've seen one parent and their kid be pretty compliant and good and then the bad one shows up asking why we're doing stuff and threatening to leave AMA and yelling and cowing the kid and the other parent to stop taking treatments and it's all very frustrating
Oh, honey, they aren't your fault. Usually when we see people with this stuff you also see something traumatic in their childhood. But it can also just happen and we don't know why it does. Psychology is a very new field of medicine, maybe 60 or 70 years old including the medicines we use.
Cluster B is typified by things like bipolar or borderline personality disorder. Everyone is a little unpredictable but cluster B traits can make people VERY volatile and unpredictable. It can be from emotional lability because someone with bipolar depression can have that bipolar causd swings (even rapid swings or mixed episodes) or because the person with cluster b traits feels emotions VERY intensely that don't really go away like in borderline personality disorder. There also tends to be a lot more splitting/black and white thinking, as in "everyone and everything can be neatly separated into good or bad." A classic feature of borderline personality disorder is having a Favorite Person, someone you think can do nothing wrong, who you might obsess over and ruminate on, someone who might not know you but who you fear will abandon you. And so on. Cluster C is more the anxiety zone. I have OCD which is in cluster C. Sometimes it includes people who are very inept socially.
Cluster A, if you were curious even though you didn't mention it applied to you, is stuff like schizophrenia or paranoia - disordered thinking.
I think there's something to growing up in a culture that punishes and tamps down on uniqueness and non-conforming and subversion even when they have the same dual pressure from outside their protestant cultures in wider for society. So their brains break and they can't make good posts because they just can't fundamentally relate to a lot of regular online people, I'm sure their posts move well in their own protestant circles
