What country are you in, can you see a different psychiatrist, maybe get a referal to one from your therapist? Ive experienced this before from certain psychiatrists that are leery of writing scripts for stimulants (or even non stimulants for some reason). Seeing a different one had been my way around it.

politics @lemmy.world•Why blue WA voted to ban trans athletes from girls sports
1·4 days agoI had to go back to the article to see what you are on about. Of course its being done by medical providers. I didnt leave that out on purpose, I’ll concede that some people might find that relevant, and it wasnt my intention to “hide” it.
I did in fact play sports as a kid. I was assigned female at birth and never had genital inspections. The only time a doctor got anywhere near my vagina was when i was old enough to start seeing a gyno a and get a pap smear when i was in college.

2·4 days agoI edited nothing, I copied what was there straight from ballotpedia.
Women dont generally get their first pap smear until 21. Unless there is an issue that needs inspection girls dont generally have to go through genital inspections.

102·4 days agoYour proof is one article about a political stunt by a guy who doesnt identify as trans making a statement to discredit a trans athlete that transitioned with hormones and surgery 20 years before the event?

21·4 days agoI read your reply, but disagree with the concern parents have being valid, because its unfounded. There is no scientifically backed proof of trans individuals having an advantage in sports, and trans kids getting gender affirming care are often placed on hormone blockers. The hormones involved in teenagers also wildly fluctuate. I agree with the premise of weight class, but the “concern” parents have about their little girl playing against a big scary “man” with teenage testosterone muscles (their words, not yours, before you say I’m putting words in your mouth) is fueled by misinformation about trans individuals, gender affirming care, and the amount of impact these individuals even have in sports. and as a result we now have genital inspections for kids.
I dont think people falling for fearmongering is a valid concern, and I think we shouldn’t be coddling this kind of concern any more than we should tolerate racist concerns.

91·4 days agoIts required, and is in the initiative.
“the student’s biological sex [based on]… reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels.”
It requires either a hormone test, visual inspection, or blood test, and guess which of those is the cheapest to get?

42·4 days agoSo you’d vote for mandatory genital inspections for girls? Because thats what this vote did.
Lack of communication being a problem - sure. But you’re conflating a few things.
- In modern terms, bisexuality and pansexuality are interchangeable, the terms have evolved over the years and most of the community rejects the old distinction.
- “The bisexual duality cannot be satisfied by the binarity of one partner” is the stupidest thing ive ever heard. They are bi, meaning their attraction applies to both (or more) genders. They aren’t in heat with an unquenchable lust for sex with multiple genders. Someone can have a preference for brunettes and redheads and marry a redhead and not be “unsatisfied”. The problem with closeted gay people marrying into a straight relationship is that they are denying their own sexuality, and lying to themselves. Bisexual people are not lying to themselves. They are attracted to their spouse. There is no confusion.
Ive thought about it, but i just dont have the space currently, even for a little filterless setup. I’ll be moving again soon, hopefully I’ll have enough space for maybe a little shrimp tank or some pygmy cories
This makes me miss my planted tanks so much 😭
Beautiful
As a kid I tried eating a begin strip because it smelled exactly like bacon. It did not taste like bacon.

15·13 days agoIt is so hard seeing this shit still tearing families apart. It sucks because these are important issues, not something you can agree to disagree on, and it hurts to see your family go down the insanity rabbit hole.
Found this out the hard way during covid when my mom laughed when i said someone I knew had lost a parent to covid and I wanted to check on her (despite us not being on speaking terms anymore). She laughed outloud and called it a scamdemic and called my friend’s family stupid for taking his mom to the hospital, because “thats what really killed him”.
I had the same kind of shocked feeling of now having to call into question everything I knew (and also everything I was taught) by my mom, including her level of empathy for others.

I’m using a combo of mailbox.org and Addy.io for aliasing. Works great.
I pointed all 13 of my various emails to a forward@mydomain email on Addy. Put a rule on mailbox.org to throw those emails in a folder called “change me”, and ive been going through daily and changing or deleting or unsubscribing from everything that hits that box.
It feels nice only having one email again but also having the ability to make and turn off email aliases to stop junk and spam.
