that's optimistic. my thought is they'd do away with juries.

Option 2. Option 1 is like the cartoon character who monologues instead of taking action and gets interrupted as the butt of the joke.

i just wish they'd be willing to go on strike over it. a lot of them are unionized.

i made a longtermtestosterone community on here for people who've been on it on long time to share their experiences, because i had a similar reaction you did. i want to learn more, but most spaces are people talking about barely starting t. nothing wrong with that. i just am looking for more specific information.

the dysphoria is more likely to cause someone to not seek help, which would cause it to get worse. that's when you see the the scary symptoms. i literally fainted when reading one study about it a few weeks back, because it was too graphic for me. i don't mind blood and do my own shots, but when you start getting detailed about going inside out -- i'm out like a light lol.

they don't really know what causes it but it seems to be that whatever hormone your organs are used to producing, if it lessens, the muscles of the pelvic floor, regardless of the type of gonad, get weaker and smaller. these muscles are responsible for holding your bladder and rectum and help push pee and poop out of your body. the bladder and rectum do work too, but they do it with the help of these muscles. so it can present itself as urinary and fecal abnormalities.

that said, sometimes it presents as pain when bottoming from the front. so there are indeed people on t out there who have no problem using it and are still "losing" it, to use your phrasing.

long way to say, fuck if i know lol.

glad you're ok! if you don't mind sharing the country, i'm happy to see if i can find something similar for you to use in the future, just in case.

In general, not enough research is done on longterm health, especially since maintaining longterm access to healthcare can be difficult for many. but here is one study on it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38662108/

The main reason is the Monroe Doctrine. The United States literally made it its business to terrorize any "communist" state, even if it's democratically elected. That breeds the conditions for paranoia, the desire for increased protection, etc.

But, in the context of endgame scenarios against dictators, the main factor usually is how the military responds, especially when asked to brutalize the population. If the military parts ways, they may start a coup of their own or they may (rarely) defer to the population.

So, by extrapolation, I imagine it's also true here: other powerful factions allow it because it opens opportunities for them to garner more power too. Business execs, politicians, and military officials alike are duking it out for influence amongst themselves as well.

not one that I've gotten but one that isn't discussed much is urinary and fecal incontinence with longterm use due to pelvic floor atrophy

I'm late but you wanna call poison control in this situation. The wait time is very short, and they're super nice. I recently had a similar situation. They called me every few hours to check on me after giving me instructions. If you have an iPhone, you can tell Siri to call poison control. The number is built in.
