“dude” “man” “guy” etc arent gender neutral, its surprising to me that this is still something regularly asked in places (this isnt to say it is bad that you asked, more just an observation). just because something is the norm doesnt mean that it is correct or good. you arent going to walk up to some guy (and when i say this, you most likely think “man”) and say “hey gal whats up” so why is it then okay to walk up to a gal and be like “hey dude”. this “male as default” way of thinking is rooted in misogyny, and women are defined in the ways theyre “not men”, they are “other”. gender neutral = masculine because society views men and masculinity as the superior gender and gender expression. by using these terms as “gender neutral” terms you are reenforcing this way of thinking

specific male dominated contexts. Like during playing video games & pen and paper gaming

these arent actually male dominated contexts, women were just pushed out of spaces by men because misogyny. data has actually shown that more women play video games than men do

really saying any activity is a “male activity” is rooted in misogyny. the star trek fandom was mostly women when it started until men decided that girls werent allowed to like scifi :p

capitalism :3

personal prejudice isnt misandry, as i already explained, and all misogyny (and “misandry”/lack thereof) is inherently systemic

if you want to say “misandry is real because i disliked men because of <internalized transphobia> and <gender dysphoria> and <toxic masculinity (misogyny)>” and push back because you looked the word up in the dictionary, then be my guest. ive said everything that is worth saying on this topic, and frankly have more important things to do than pointlessly argue on the internet.

“not all men”, defender of the defended, voice of the voiceful, protector of the protected, “actually cracker is a slur!!” and so on. i hope the boot is worth it, do better.

“you being more offended by the mere implication that some of your peers can be bad than by the harm that they actually cause makes you part of the problem”

literally me??

toxic masculinity is misogyny

men not being able to act a certain way because its associated with womans qualities and thus forcing them to not express emotions and be violent and controlling or otherwise theyre seen as weak for being “like a woman” is misogyny

men confessing their troubles is seen as effeminate because these are “woman” qualities, youre not “weak” and “emotional” like a woman. this is also misogyny

being shamed and repressed for having qualities that are perceived as feminine is misogyny. youre not being shamed for being a man youre being shamed for acting like a woman

the supposed existence of “reverse racism” ignores the inherent power/privilege dynamic that permeates our society, and acts like racism is on an even playing field, when its not. if a black person calls you a cracker, thats not being racist, its a reaction to the racism they have faced from white people throughout their entire lives, and their parents lives, and their parents lives, etc.

come back when they oppress your way of life, when they fire you from a job because the color of your skin. when they deny you healthcare, or genocide you because the color of your skin. when they throw you in jail with laws they created, and force you to do slave labour for years

you are confusing personal prejudice caused by systemic oppression with systemic oppression. personal prejudice is inherently not racism because there is no system of oppression against white people, and all racism is systemic.

misandry isnt real its a silencing tactic

reverse racism isnt real, its a silencing tactic

there is no structural, societal misandry ever-present, oppressing men

there is no structural, societal racism ever-present, oppressing white people

racism, like misogyny, is a structural and systemic hate leveraged against people, not a personal one

when men receive lower salaries than women, have lower rights than women, have their bodies policed like women, are treated like objects and property like women then we can say it is real

misogyny, the usual

next ur gonna say misandry is real and black people can be racist towards white people lol

shut the fuck up honestly

counter point: we would rather die of prostate cancer than get a prostate exam

60?? ah mate thats 40 years longer than expected anyway, thats a good life that is

wrrrfffff…

shush

typically because the vials get full of rubber filaments

typically only through improper usage/larger than necessary needle gauge usage

most preservatives in vials can last roughly 4-5 years in optimal conditions (away from sunlight and kept cool) though this will most likely be impacted by using the vial, youd run out of medication before the preservatives went rancid

none of this is required to use a vial for more than a month

public collar wearing is the best :3

E level is higher than it needs to be so dosage should probably be lowered, but the “maintenance dose” terminology is still a red flag imo. just make sure they are dosing you reasonably lower and your levels are within range. also if you arent getting your T levels tested as well then you should do that (just saying this because it was absent from this post)

it’s really important to have your blood tests done right in the middle of your dosage schedule.

id argue its more important to have blood testing done at the very end of the schedule when levels are lowest, but both values are useful to have. even if your peak is a little high, if your trough is too low you should up your dose anyway (though this is unlikely to be the case unless youre taking EV). plus if your peak is a high but your T level is too high and youre doing mono youll want to up your dose anyway. its nice to have but not nearly as valuable as trough levels in managing your dosage.

Given the US government is actively banning all trams healthcare, yes. There is a high likelihood there will be no other option in like, a month or two. Amd even if it isnt banned that soon, personally wouldnt want that on my medical records at this point.

well drawing with 18 is reallllly not recommended with vials you are planning to use more than a few times but like, you do you :p the risk of coring is demonstrably, factually higher (and thats a bad thing)
