I need to do longform interviews and/or podcasts. This can be in print, on video, or ideally both. This is regarding my being fired from my job as a psych nurse (at a taxpayer funded facility) for terfing, the background and context of what happened, and my personal history, all.

Things that DON'T make someone male:.1. XY chromosomes .2. Testicles that manufacture sperm and testosterone .3. Adjusting your junk on international television . Things that make someone female:.1. A passport .2. A pic from childhood where you're wearing pink.3. A grainy photo.

Alright, let's do this *again*:. - Sex is determined at the time of conception in mammals. - Humans develop along one of two sex development pathways, Wolffian and Mullerian. These are BINARY, meaning that if you develop along one pathway, you cannot develop along the other.

@_154831 1/3 of infertility is female factor, 1/3 is male factor, and 1/3 is unknown. If you think about this for 90 uninterrupted seconds, you come to the conclusion that there are likely significantly more infertile men vs women.

If you have chapped or very dry skin, Bag Balm is the absolute gold standard. Bag Balm is great on hands and feet at night, put on natural fiber socks and gloves and wake up to new skin. Sensicare is zinc and Vaseline, so it theoretically can be used as high octane sunblock.

Hydrocolloid bandages:.These are tiny little wound vacs. I would describe them as water resistant rather than waterproof. They create negative pressure that sucks out pus, fluid, and infection. They work great on blisters, bug bites and stings, stubborn splinters, and pimples.

Sunblock: you want zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, and NO OTHER active ingredients. All things being equal, zinc is preferable over titanium. They are gentle and healing, and create a physical rather than chemical barrier on the skin. These are often marketed as "organic", "kid.

On cosmetics: .Mineral sunblock, salt in your diet, lots of water, and occlusives rather than moisturizers work well for most people. Stridex does the same thing that Lume and other super expensive "whole body", antibacterial deodorants do. Adapalene is over the counter and is.

Kersasel is ideal for callouses as it is non-painful and urea based. As nurses, we were not allowed to file or cut callouses, even painful, dry cracked ones. Removing them is a long process, even at a podiatry office. This stuff works amazingly well on calloused skin anywhere on

Epsom salt. An epsom salt bath, or even just a foot and hand soak, restores fluid balance to the skin acting as an internal moisturizer, and, much like zinc, is both healing and drying to exterior skin. The change in lymphatic pressure is often pain relieving.

If you have an elderly relative who requires hands on care, either due to physically disabling age or injury, or due to dementia, please don't try to do that alone. It's a 24/7 job that lasts years, and, unlike caring for children, it gets progressively more demanding.
