took the app off my phone - probably gonna start winding down here soon. not disappearing from the internet as a whole any time soon, but i think this'll be the last “social media presence “ i have for a while. so long to posting: it was bad for me, and i hated it
@AusSkeptic@christapeterso that’s the part that always drove me batshit about his “success stories” - how the hell is a gnc gay kid supposed to process being “treated for” their supposedly pathological friends/interests/personal expression? how the fuck are they ever going to trust their parents again?
@LillithOfCanaan@CovenOfChloe@christapeterso cool, your gynecologist wants to publish a case report on your last yeast infection. it’s okay if she describes your pussy to a journalist without asking you first, right?
@LillithOfCanaan@CovenOfChloe@christapeterso individual case reports only have publication merit when they concern exceptionally rare/novel conditions or treatments. “dick itch” treated with “different undies for a while” is neither. any genuinely useful information abt this would come from aggregate data anyway.
@unseenhorizons@rowdyburns1978 @revhowardarson (sorry 2 hijack) to my eye, part of the difference comes from the contextual + chronological nature of human learning. i feel X way about Y every time i hear Z, because it happened right after A - but if i didn’t travel that vector, i might associate Y with B, C, D instead.
@zach_brownies@jstriebel22@jessesingal hipaa/whistleblowing dumbass legal slapfight aside: yes, i think it’d be fucked to share patient quotes (w/o their consent) with a journalist in that situation. the patients are supposed to be the ones being harmed here, remember? how does it serve them to gawk?
@JacobGriffith75 @RottenInDenmark @Fonziruv everyone also has estrogen and testosterone and GnRH. I learned about those things in sophomore A&P. apparently you had them whispered to you in the night by your ballsack?
@JacobGriffith75 @RottenInDenmark @Fonziruv do you have an innate understanding of what it is to possess a pancreas and the full constellation of hormones and processes that make up metabolism? or are we only playing this game with one organ system.
