  • For me, it would be a massive euphoria moment, tbh. That alone would increase my mental health by tenfold.

    The hormonal changes in pregnancy are often triggered by the embryo producing hormones to keep the pregnancy ‘active’.

    For managing it safely, I would argue against it being too difficult. A multidisciplinary team is indeed necessary, for this first, but beyond that, pregnancy is comparatively decently understood.

    A close analogy for transgender women would be transgender men who discontinue the exogenous testosterone, to induce ovarian hyperstimulation. Uncomplicated pregnancies have occurred in there. Likewise, intersex people with both testicular tissue and female genitalia, as well manage to undergo pregnancy. Cisgender women with severe ovarian insufficency or prenatal oophoroectomy also have successfully fulfilled pregnancies, with a mix of exogenous hormone support followed by an increase in endogenous placental hormone production.

    The biggest issue is actually neovaginal anastomosis, it needs to be well-vasculated. Thankfully, we have made enormous advances in this regard, in that we managed to let blood vessels grow. For the microbiome, self-lubricating neovaginas exist, as well as vaginal creams. These can help.

    The pelvis is actually less of an issue - depending on how early one took HRT, it’d be possible to give birth naturally (if necessary earlier) or to perform a C-section.




  • Unfortunately with Trump being there, this shall not be the greatest launch, for he may plan to use this for his own propaganda campaign.

    What then, in my view were the greatest launches? Indeed, when the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was launched and Apollo 11 went up, that was a monumentous achievement for mankind.

    Unlike the Apollo and space shuttle missions and all who have went before, there is little scientific reason for this launch. It is space politics; all that money could have been used to build homes instead, to improve the general wellbeing of Americans, instead of enriching and entertaining the billionnaire oligarchs’ interests. But that is my own view, I s’pose.

    Had Americans’ wellbeing been improved greatly, the FPTP system abolished for proportional representation, and there been no billionnaires and media oligopolies, no conflict of interests, no wars the US was waging… the US might have faced a much more golden age of spacefaring.
