I thought when you were taking E they stopped producing T
Testosterone is the dominant hormone. You need androgen blockers or really high doses of Estrogen for it to stop affecting things.
“It” lol. Abbey’s a leftist journalist and commentator. Famous for Palestine and 9/11 truth. A bit of a centrist geopolitically. A bit doomer but interesting and knowledgeable on various things and this came up at some point on Media Roots Radio.
I don’t believe in easy answers. Often I don’t believe in anything. The positions just bounce around in my head. Too much to analyze and impossible to compare.
Abby Martin made it sound like it was settled.
Yeah, it’s weird when it used to be completely different though. It’s also weird figuring out what I think I’m allowed to think in a (former) young (lesbian) relationship.
Sib doesn’t know about the transformation of quantitative changes into qualitative leaps.
Indeed, putting thoughts out there helps one think. Especially when I have a lot of thoughts and scarcely know what to believe in any case.
I don’t know. I think, yeah, it’s just not appealing. I used to pretty horny, as any teen, but I also probably have ADHD, and I think my under stimulation added to the misery I took for hornyness. Since puberty I’ve found myself very attractive with feminizing stuff adding to it, but despite being very pretty, I no longer turn myself on for better or worse and neither does most things (maybe some things if I try). I used to find most people (at least my age) attractive, but now my perception of prettiness in everyone comes and goes. I don’t claim to be a trans woman, but nothing in the zine sounded “hot,” straight guy shit sounds gross and wrong, and idk what it’s like to have a pussy, so who knows with that. I don’t know what to do with this, but whatever, I’ll post.
Edit: I’ve never felt bottom dysphoria, it’s just a weird ugly thing that’s there and not too inconvenient. That said, I do stress about it a bit socially, idk. Maybe internal transmisogyny, not particularly relevant.
Yeah, they seem nice, but also inconvenient. I kinda wanna get some basic fake ones. Should I just get random cheap ones on AliExpress? Recs anyone?
Up with trans
It was such a good book idk how I haven't made this post yet. Just the introduction will have you hooked.

In summary, Ted Reese shows how Marxism Leninism is the way forward if we are to save the planet. It is largely a reaction to Fully Automated Luxury Communism and the general trend of people trying to reinvent socialism with utopian ideas in order to stop climate change. I actually read that right before, so it might be part of why I like this book. He explains how the TRPF is leading to the inevitable fall of capitalism in the near future. Anyone who denies that capitalism is reaching its final breaking point is in error. Labor theory of value continues to be vindicated. It's counter-tendencies cannot help it. Humanity looks pretty screwed with climate change, but socialism can enable innovation, stop extraction, and plan our way to a healthy world. Socialism will also employ easy technology and methods that capitalism refuses because it will undermine it's function. The path towards a new socialism is through studying the successes and failures of AES, not through trying to "discover" new forms, or repeating old forms. Principled Leninist tactics are the way.
This book gave me a lot of hope and I've recommended it to multiple libs (🤞). I highly recommend it.
Limitations:
It was published almost five years ago, so it's not all up to date on the geopolitics and so on. As we all know, the past few years we've had many weeks where decades happened. Reese takes a neutral position on China's socialistness, despite presenting evidence to the positive. He doesn't talk about decolonization, which makes sense for a Br*t, but that means it's not all encompassing. There is a lot of great info in there. It might not be easiest for complete newbies, but you don't have to read too much other theory first.
Here's some memes:
Long live ecosocialism!
Yes monotherapy can work. I mentioned it. Balls are weird, who wants them around?
