Yes, but it's a bit hard to get; even in countries that try to improve trans-care rather than reduce it.

There are just so many therapists; the waiting lists are sometimes simply closed because they stretch years.

For many people, these hormones mean the difference between a livable life and extreme dysphoria, depression and suicidality.

If they could get them on the regular way, they would. But the regular way is often full of problems. So some people have to fall back to just do it themself.

I even heard of doctors who do some medical checks under the counter to ensure everything is done as safe as possible (but aren't able to prescribe hormones themself without prior psychotherapeutical indication)

So; your point would be valid in theory, but unfortunately for many trans-people, it's the only way to get their possibly life-saving medication.

Why are people so surprised?

There is money to be made, and we're not used to seeing cashcows beeing left alone

Didn't check the sub in the screenshot, didn't we?

Health is explicitly NOT pocus!

My parents made me regret coming late by being disappointed at me, not by threats.

Why is the wrong version always the one that is posted.

The (in my eyes) correct (and iirc original) version is:

• Git commit
• Git push
• Get out*

*as someone pointed out (and I remember it as well, but thought I rembered it wrong and corrected it, shame on me in this context) the last point may be originally "git out"

The important parts are paint and maintenance.

Give a commie block a fresh coat of paint every decade or so and they can look good (though I just don't like flat roofs. But that's personal taste.)

But while a somewhat run down european style house can still have some charme for longer (guess I'm biased here) a run down commie block in gray and with cracks in the facade will quickly start to look depressing.

And as they are often chosen for cost reasons inside capitalistic environments, they are often neglected.

So, the problem is not commie blocks, but how they are maintained. And as often we tend to search for the extreme examples if we (dis)like something.

I guess it would actually work.

Imagine you're right in the act and suddenly somebody stands next to you and screams fus ro dah. I would definitely instinctively jump in the other direction

Ich zitiere mal meinen Vater:

"Ich bin Baujahr 42. Natürlich wähle ich Konservativ. Nochmal zerstören die Grünen nicht unser Land.

Das war dann auch schon das Ende seiner Erklärung. Und ich überrascht denn eigentlich würde ich meine Erziehung recht links-liberal nennen ...

Dunno how good the source is (never heard of that site), but it aöso contains a video from fox sports

(not op)

Sure, but in this case, most of the lemmy-clients (FOSS or not) are bad.

I have problems logging into my accounts (seems like some instances want my email as a username and many clients cannot handle this after I switched accounts), some clients don't feature editing or deleting your posts, some clients don't show my saved content, some clients don't allow to see what you posted

Sure, much of this is because they started from scratch and will maybe surpass sync some day; but right now I couldn't find something that isn't worth. (didn't try infinity yet, tho)

it's not necessarily "FOSS is bad"; it's just that the current lemmy-ecosystem is in it's child shoes (I have the feeling this proverb doesn't work in english?)

That said: I use Sync4Lemmy since 5 minutes and this is my first comment; so let's see if/what it will deliver
