Why does it need to be new? I've been buying second hand for a while with warranty and it's been great.

That's what happens when tyre face hits tyre face with a collision in this direction. The tyres grip each other and it launches the car coming from behind.

Everything has side effects... It's not your position to say weather they're worth it or not.

All the research shows quality of life increasing with gender affirming care. So, you're suggesting that a temporary delay in bone growth is worth a long term reduction in quality of life...

That's the beauty of science, it's self improving...

This article specifically, is a meta review of studies that have already been available and all experts in the field should already know (I'm no expert and I've known about this for years) that puberty blockers do this. As with pretty much everything anyone does, there's always a cost and a benefit and you should always weigh them up carefully with big life altering decisions. For people with gender dysphoria some delayed bone growth is no big deal compared to being allowed to be themselves.

Looks like you have no idea what gender dysphoria is or what the current science says about handling it.

No, they just get a hole. It's not like a balloon. Firstly the rubber is very thick and secondly it's got fiber reinforcement all through it.

That's already been happening for a while. It's literally what the article is talking about.

You think our medical, technological and scientific advances aren't helping society?

I get the complaints about the economy and wealth inequality and environmental impacts from dodgy corporations. But, that's not a technology problem, that's a government/regulation problem. We need to attack the bad practices of corporations and the ineffectiveness of government to do anything about it, not people who have found a new tool to be useful for their work.

This is not about the TSA line, this is a chat that most people would presume to be private

We were unable to study more refined and nuanced measures that may be more affected by GLP-1 use such as self-esteem, locus of control, happiness, relationship status other than marital status and relationship satisfaction

Looks like there's some big gaps in this study, so more research is needed. Anecdotally I'm sure it's been helping my mental health and self esteem.

That's interesting. I think sometimes I can visualise something quite well, but most of the time it feels more like what you're describing.

Hmm, I'm from Australia and studied Mechanical Engineering, but I feel like I was already quite Scientifically literate before getting to high school. I know there's plenty of people who are not scientifically inclined here, but I think the majority still understand the core principals, from their school education. Is it not like that where you're from?
