Personas trans hablan de su paso obligado por psiquiatría y su amoldamiento a roles de género tradicionales para conseguir el tratamiento hormonal sin trabas. “La unidad especializada es un sitio de reproducción de violencias machistas”, dice la presidenta de Lumagorri HAT.
🤯 Phonetic Universal Uncovered! 🎤
We analyzed over 60,000 speakers across 75 languages and confirmed a universal phonetic bias: High vowels (like /i, u/) are consistently spoken with a slightly higher pitch (F0) than low vowels (/a/).

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Transgender care saves lives.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea
del futuro no hablamos que ahí ya sí que voy buscando puentes (para una u otra cosa)
que sí que sí que muy contenta con lo que hago y todo eso pero mientras ellos me hablan de su hipoteca yo estoy pensando si este mes le puedo echar algas al arroz
cada vez que me encuentro a gente de mi generación y veo que ya son funcionarios me da un parraquito
(seguiremos en contra de la ia generativa aún así eh?)
tanta ia tanta ia y aún ningún chatbot al que pueda preguntar si las decisiones que tomo son las correctas y tenga que pagar las consecuencias si se equivoca
There is enough consistency of address to justify speaking of a personal-pronoun style which involves a more or less wide use of the solidary T. Even among students of the same socioeconomic level there are differences of style, and these are potentially expressive of radicalism and conservatism in ideology. A Frenchman could, with some confidence, infer that a male university student who regularly said T to female fellow students would favor the nationalization of industry, free love, trial marriage, the abolition of capital punishment, and the weakening of nationalistic and religious loyalties.
using T pronouns generously in the 1950s was the sociopolitical equvalent of blue hair and pronouns in the 2020s
(Brown and Gilman 1960: 275)

A Wigglytuff looks on with concern as his Clefable friend begins to glow. In the final panel, Clefable has evolved into a Mega Clefable, with wings decorated in the trans pride colors. Wigglytuff and Clefable celebrate this turn of events together. The caption, "It's never too late to hatch!" implicitly references the slang term "egg," which is used in transgender circles to refer to individuals who are either closeted, or who have not yet realized that they are trans.
It's never too late to hatch!
This one was a request by @emmachados.bsky.social, who asked for a drawing of Clefable and Wigglytuff "doing something trans related."
