I was going to comment on that original post that shit like this makes me uncomfortable to even mention I'm Jewish in certain parts of the internet before I noticed the post has already been removed. I hope he stays banned.

Hehe

This is the best answer. As someone brought up among Islam and Judaism, these shallow American takes on religion – which are always about Christianity too – feel extremely strange and foreign to me, and you just put the why into words.

I don't want to diminish how bad the situation is in the US but news like this just make me wonder: what about us from the countries where it never was better than the current Trump policy level? You know, Asia, CIS, Africa, portions of South America.

I could never even dream to receive such healthcare and government attention as I hear our NA comrades get. I worked for years to afford orchi and any other surgery is way beyond my means especially with how hard it is to get a job as a trans person – do you want to know how many times I had to explain that I am not "insane" in a job interview only to obviously never get called back? I've never seen non-DIY HRT or doctors who actually know anything about trans people beyond the ICD-10 basics if that. I had to change my citizenship to be allowed to change my name and gender marker. Where is my asylum?

Recently started doing the same, it makes sense to me.

The establishment will defend class systems with violence even as they are being deconstructed. There is no saviour for us except us.

There are reputable DIY labs that ship worldwide.

I thought you had to change them almost monthly cause they get "cored"?

That's what the "official" sources will tell you but it's just wasting vials. With proper care and safety checks (checking for discoloration as XiaCobolt said and any suspended particles), people are using vials safely for at least more than a year. That includes me, I do that. I used to fear DIY sources and DIY in general but, being in the same position as you – i.e., with no access to adequate healthcare – eventually jumped the gun and it was the best decision in my life.

What made me finally choose DIY is partially the realisation that "official" doctors don't know shit about trans experiences, commonly prescribe harmful or ineffective regimens – both happened to me in the past – and mostly just don't care about us more than for a curiosity.

What is the new procedure?

Same

In the future I want, questions about the "true number" of trans will be about as meaningful as questions about the true number of Monster Hunter Wilds players. Like, a lot of people played it and last week it was more than this week but next week an update will drop so people will play it again.

up with trans

I like that the seahorse has little landfeets.

So I didn’t know how to respond to your question other than saying, again, that the clip is taken out of context. It bothered me though because I also wanted to know.

Well, it turns out the streams from the 1+1 TV channel are on YouTube, including the inauguration day stream. Of course, I didn’t want to watch 5 hours of it but the clip in the OP thankfully has a timestamp: 21:55. And, what a surprise, if you go to that timestamp in the YouTube video (around 3:10), there is no such discussion about Elon Musk taking place. Instead it’s an interview with a correspondent on site:

Now, there are multiple channels under the 1+1 Media Group control but the decorations are the same in the OP clip and the YouTube stream and the top left corner channel title is 1+1 Marathon, which is a specific and unique TV channel. Coupled with the fact that no Ukrainian news outlets mention anyone saying anything like in the clip, I’d now say that not only the clip is out of context but also likely fake.

Yeah, the precursor to Wagner was called Slavonic Corps, which is of course the least Nazi name for a military organisation imaginable.

The saddest part for me is that even grassroots Russian communist spaces fall into phobic rhetoric when it comes to immigrants or queer people. I also can’t imagine things getting better at this point.
