You have it backwards. Israel is America's foreign policy. Our government wants them to be the big swinging dick in the middle east because it furthers the economic interests of capital. Corporate dems know that genocide looks bad but they fundamentally want to keep our rabid attack dog armed and dangerous.

I know you're worried about your friend, but her medical situation is not your business unless she specifically asked you for your help.

With eddies it's all about finding ones that are consistent. A lot of the common cheap ones are hit and miss but I've found a few brands that are regularly the same strength throughout the whole batch. So it's easier to plan about when you'll start to feel it and when to expect it to wear off.

Yeah, definitely normal. I played with a lot of traditionally femme things at the start of my transition, cause I didn't know what I liked and had been denied the exploration my cis peers had in adolescence. I don't wear makeup much anymore for the same reasons. Things can be affirming at first and then you grow out of them and it doesn't have to mean anything, other than you're growing. Same thing with bras; they used to be real affirming to wear, and the sensory feeling of having something on my chest was a relief. But I'm 7 years in and a bra is something I take off immediately when I get home because it's annoying.

Look around at the habits of women in their 30s and 40s and you'll see a lot of us have let go of many of the femme high effort stuff fall away. Some of it is still fun on occasion but the daily effort is just not worth it

It's US queer/ballroom cunt, which is powerful and affirmative

I have only heard bad things about Dr Schechter when I was doing my research for my GRS years ago, as that was the closest doc to where I lived. I'd heard that his results were not great, and that he was very disrespectful, especially when his patients needed revision due to shoddy work. Those reviews are why I ended up going out of state for mine. I don't know anything about the other doc. Good luck.

Please stop saying the military is socialist. Please understand that socialism is about the relationship to the means of production and not just 'exists because tax'
