Camus writes that in the midst of the plague, as the citizens of Oran are dying in droves, Dr. Rieux affirms himself in his work. What do you do have control over? And what is beyond your control? As Camus's protagonist, Dr. Rieux offers an answer: when the world is coming apart, you do your job.

When trans people tell the truth about who they are, they face stigma, discrimination, harassment, and in some cases, violence,” Dr. Powers says bluntly. “Trans people have been fired for expressing their gender identity. They’ve been beaten up or thrown out of their homes. Last year, nearly thirty trans people were murdered. This year, so far, another four have been killed.
Jodi Picoult (Mad Honey)
Tis fascinating, this belief among you Men of Science,” remarks Dr. J., “that Time is ever more simply transcended, the further one is willing to journey away from London, to observe it.” “Why, Mason here’s done the very thing,” cries Boswell. “In America. Ask him.” Mason glowers, shaking his head. “I’ve ascended, descended, even condescended, and the List’s not ended,— but haven’t yet trans-cended a blessèd thing, thankee.
Thomas Pynchon (Mason & Dixon)
We live in a culture that teaches us that "men" are the sexual aggressors and pursuers. We also live in a world where most women, trans, and non-binary folks have had negative experiences with men who are hitting on them. These factors tend to lead to some big gender differences for those exploring non-monogamy. Cisgender men often struggle when they first enter the world of non-monogamy. Within consensual non-monogamy (CNM) communities, most folks who sleep with cis men choose their partners based on referrals and endorsements. As in the world of business, it truly is who you know. Cis men who have been in the communities longer have dated and interacted with more people, and, therefore, have more word of mouth. It is an unfortunate reality that many, especially cisgender women, will not date men they don't already know about through their friends and communities. So, if you're a cis man exploring CNM, expect that it may take a while before you start seeing the kind of attention that others get. Focus on being kind, respectful, and honest. Respect the needs and boundaries of everyone with whom you interact. Spend lots of time getting to know other people simply as people - especially of your preferred gender to date - and form genuine friendships and connections with them free from any pressure to become sexual.

What about the dissolution transporter?” suggested Ms. Minnian. “Is it still checked out?” “Let’s see.” Doc went over to a card file and flipped through it. “No, it’s back downstairs in the Chresto. Excellent idea.” “What’s a dissolution transporter?” I asked. “Sort of like a fax machine for objects,” said Dr. Rust. “What’s a fax machine, then?” “Oh, you young people!” said Ms. Minnian. “Never mind about the fax,” said Doc. “A dissolution transporter deconstructs an object—in this case, you—taking note of its exact structure and composition. Then it transfers that information to another location, where the object is reassembled from material there.” “Kind of like the transporter on Star Trek except it only works one way,” said Jaya. That sounded alarming. “But if we’re deconstructed here and reassembled someplace else, won’t we turn into other people?” “Technically, yes. But you’ll be other people with the exact same memories. And exact duplicates of your bodies, down to the last quark,” said Ms. Minnian. “Yes, but I’ll be dead! Just because someone else has my memories, that doesn’t mean it’s me!” I objected. “It’s okay, Leo,” said Jaya. “I’ve used the diss tran a zillion times and I still feel like myself.” “Of course you do. You have all of the original Jaya’s memories, so of course you think you’re her. That doesn’t mean you are.” “What makes you so sure you’re the same Leo who went to bed last night?” said Ms. Minnian. “Dissolution transportation is no more discontinuous than falling asleep and waking up again. But you don’t have to go if you’re afraid.
Polly Shulman (The Wells Bequest (The Grimm Legacy, #2))
Trace was up at the flip chart listing trans movie and tv role models, arguing that Dynasty’s Krystle Carrington as played by Linda Evans was definitely covertly mtf. The other role models were Martine Beswick in Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, Tura Satana in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, the secretary in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (“Edie McClurg!” Sydney shouted), and Jodie Foster in Candleshoe.
David Demchuk (Red X)
Trans people are reduced to our ability to fit some imagined but collectively reinforced standards of gender. The extent to which we meet these standards, however, does nothing to guarantee our safety, even more so for trans people of color as these standards are carved out of whiteness. Those who “pass” are either treated as the token of desirable (read: palatable) transness or accused of betrayal when they don’t introduce themselves with a declaration of their transness; those who do not “pass” are attacked for the transgression of some imagined gender code of conduct; and those whose transness is not adequately visually flagged are delegitimized, deemed “not trans enough.” Dr. Génessier serves as the police of this imagined gender code of conduct in Eyes Without a Face, the paternalistic enforcer of a single merit of belonging.

there is experimental evidence that trans fatty acids may inhibit growth, for instance from a study by Dr. Atal and his coworkers at various institutions at the University of Maryland and at the National Institutes of Health.[263] They gave young mice two different diets. The only difference between the diets was that a tiny amount of normal fatty acids (not of the vital ones) was substituted with the same amount of trans fatty acids. After two years the body weight of the mice fed with trans fatty acids was 20-25% lower than the weight of the control mice. Thus,

When our government policies and agricultural subsidies have supported the flood of an extra 700 calories per person per day into the food system since 1970 (mostly in the form of high-fructose corn syrup from corn and trans fats), we have a problem.

Trans yağların kimyasal formülü, plastiğin kimyasal formülüne çok yakındır. Mısırözü ya da ayçiçeği yağları açıkta uzun süre bırakıldıkları zaman, bu yağların bozulmadığına, fakat yağ şişelerinin dibinde kalın plastik bir tabaka oluştuğuna hepimiz şahit olmuşuzdur. Bol miktarda trans yağ içeren margarinler de, uzun süre açıkta kaldıkları zaman kolay kolay bozulmazlar ve hiçbir şekilde üzerlerine sinek konmaz ve börtü böcek gelmez. Modern hayatımızda, fabrikalarda üretilen ve aşırı miktarda (bilerek ya da bilmeyerek) tükettiğimiz trans yağları kullanmaya, hiçbir canlı organizma programlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle sağlığımıza asıl zarar veren, kilo aldırıp her türlü hastalığı başlatan yağlar, fabrikalarda birçok işlem sonucu üretilen, doğal olmayan ve plastiğe benzeyen trans yağlar ve bu yağların aşırı miktarda tüketilmeleridir. Bu sebeple son 100 yıl içinde kronik ve dejeneratif hastalıklar artmıştır ve de artmaya devam etmektedir. ABD'nin en ünlü kalp uzmanı Dr. Dudley White, "1921 yılında kardiyolog olarak çalışmaya başladım ve 1928 yılına kadar bir tek miyokard infarktüs vakası görmedim" demiştir. Miyokard infarktüsü görülmeyen o yıllarda bütün halk, yağ olarak doğal tereyağı, hayvansal iç yağları ve zeytinyağı ile besleniyordu. Bitkisel sıvı yağlar henüz keşfedilmemiş, mutfak ve küçük bakkal raflarında ucuz ve sağlıklı oldukları gerekçesi ile tereyağı ve zeytinyağının yerlerini almamışlardı. Geçen asrın başı olan l900'lü yıllarda kanser vakalarının da hiç görülmediği bilimsel yayınlarda bildirilmektedir.

For instance, the illustration at the beginning of Chapter One — which you can see as a young woman or as an old lady — demonstrates a fundamental discovery of perception psychology. This discovery appears in many different formulations, in various books, but the simplest and most general statement of it, I think, goes like this: perception does not consist of passive reception of signals but of an active interpretation of signals. (Or: perception doesn't consist of passive re-actions but of active, creative trans-actions.) The same law appears, in quantum theory, in different words, but most commonly physicists state it as "the observer cannot be left out of the description of the observation." (Dr. John A. Wheeler goes further and says the observer "creates" the universe of observation.) I will endeavor to show that the similarity of these principles derives from a deeper similarity that unites Quantum Mechanics and neuroscience with each other (and with certain aspects of Oriental philosophy).

Here are some tips for an anti-inflammatory eating plan, including increasing the diet’s alkalinity:  Add more alkaline foods to your diet when you can. You can find lists of alkaline-/ acid-forming foods online, including my website. You will note that meat, sodas, sugar, coffee, alcohol, and refined carbohydrates (such as those found in cookies, cakes, and other sweets) are high acid formers. Some of the highest alkaline-forming foods are lemons, limes, parsley, kelp, kale, broccoli, and pumpkin seeds.  Eat several servings of vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, each day, as well as some fruits. Get plenty of raw foods in your diet. Eating a salad each day loaded with raw veggies is a good way to start. You also might want to add a fresh apple cider vinegar dressing to your salad—see my website for recipes.  Get plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in fatty fish, fish oil supplements, ground flax, chia, and hemp seeds, and walnuts.  Eliminate trans fats and fried foods.  If you eat animal protein, rely on fish and lean meats, such as chicken or turkey; cut back on red meat and dairy. (Note: There is growing concern about both fish toxicity and the sustainability of popular fishing methods. The Environmental

There is no such thing as gender-affirming surgery for transgender children—that’s a dog whistle from the right. Gender affirmation in children is entirely social, involving support from the people around them and things like hair and clothing changes. There isn’t even really medical affirmation in children until they start to undergo puberty, at which point some transgender children may be able to access puberty blockers—drugs that have been used to halt precocious puberty in cisgender kids for decades. Some adolescents who have been affirmed in their gender for a long time may be able to access surgery, after going through extensive evaluation processes and with the consent of their parents, but it’s not common. It’s also worth noting that cisgender adolescents also get surgeries that affirm their gender—breast reductions and procedures for gynecomastia, nose jobs, and the like. But gender affirmation for children is just loving them and supporting them and giving them the ability to be themselves. —DR.
