unlearn shame. all forms of shame: unemployment, illness, vulnerability, longing, desire, errors, failures. you do not need to feel ashamed of what you are experiencing or living. freedom and shame cannot coexist.

@blairsmcrae Feel like it’s a combo of being sober of any substances, strength training and natural aging of the voice. With her lifestyle now there’s probably way less inflammation in her body, vocal cords/diaphragm able to get stronger, capable of more breathe control. Just queen shit rlly

A historic change in women’s health:

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) has officially been renamed to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) after 14 years of global collaboration involving experts, researchers, and thousands of patients worldwide.

The previous name was considered misleading because many women with the condition do not actually have ovarian cysts. Experts say the old term reduced a complex hormonal and metabolic disorder to only “ovaries” and “cysts,” contributing to delayed diagnosis, poor awareness, stigma, and inadequate treatment.

PMOS better reflects the true nature of the condition, including its effects on:
• Hormones and endocrine function
• Weight and metabolism
• Fertility and reproductive health
• Skin and hair changes
• Mental health

The condition affects nearly 1 in 8 women globally, more than 170 million people worldwide.

More than 50 international medical and patient organizations participated in the renaming effort, and over 22,000 survey responses helped shape the final decision. Experts hope this change will improve awareness, encourage earlier diagnosis, advance research, and ensure women receive more comprehensive care instead of having their symptoms dismissed for years.

A major step forward for women’s health, recognition, and patient advocacy.

The lack of news on Gaza isn’t because the genocide is over.

It’s because Israel slaughtered the journalists and Western media pretends there’s a ceasefire.

Actually, different salaries should only affect how luxurious your life is, not your food quality or ability to afford rent. If you work 40 hours at any job, your income should be enough to live in the town you work in. Thinking otherwise is an abysmal indicator of your humanity.

Maturing is realizing that your parents didn’t do their best, they did what was convenient and self serving at the time. They didn’t even try.

imagine if season 3 was actually about rue contending with her compounding grief because of what she’s lost due to her addiction instead of a western where she’s a lesbian fuckboy arms dealer

Hi. Thai here.

Almost nobody in Thailand uses the term “ladyboy” when discussing trans identity in Thai. The word is an orientalist construction and is a Western projection that exists only within English speaking contexts.

What these viral misinformed takes always leave out is that trans women in Thailand use feminine language in the exact same way cis women do, and they are addressed as women by almost everyone whether they are conservatives, men, women, children, monks etc.

Unlike Indonesia, very few people in Thailand spend time policing other people’s use of language, which restrooms they use and how they choose to live their lives.

These hot takes from people stems from one thing: the fact that most of you have never actually known a trans person, listened to a trans person, or opened your hearts to one in real life.

And you certainly don’t understand how Thai language functions either. In Thailand this is almost unthinkable as Trans people are normalised members of society.

You can’t avoid trans people in Thailand because they don’t need to hide. If their family doesn’t accept them, they still have friends and the larger Thai community to lean on.

They are doctors, nurses, business owners, entertainers, teachers, service workers, creatives, athletes, and more. While you’re all busy debating bathroom politics and indulging in religious and political hysteria, the world keeps turning in Thailand lol

I see this discourse often and it really does expose how colonial language hierarchies erase the nuance of non-Western gender systems - systems that, while imperfect and still evolving, have long recognised identities beyond the narrow Western binary and flatten them into stereotypes for global consumption.

I’ve said this before but social media algorithms amplify English-language content to the rest of the world while Thai opinions remain trapped within Thailand’s content ecosystem. That asymmetry is exactly why so many of you speak about Thais instead of with Thais and it’s why your understanding of Thai trans identity will always sound like a mistranslation.
