  • Ultimately, the only thing that makes someone trans is them deciding that they are. Everyone experiences everything differently, and gender related things are no different. I advise you to slowly explore things and figure out what makes you feel good first, and pick labels as a secondary thing!

    A lot of people think dysphoria is mostly genital focused, but it’s common to feel fine with what you have and feel like other aspects don’t fit you right. There’s a very useful resource, genderdysphoria.fyi, that really opened my eyes and helped me wrap my head around it and contextualize experiences for me. I recommend giving it a read through and seeing what you think!








  • Random person who took a material science course in college here, polymers like polyethylene are constructed from their component monomers in chemical reactions. Not all monomers end up in a polymer chain, and some remain trapped in the material. These are what leeches out of the plastic over time. Better manufacturing processes have cut down a lot on this over time but it’s not something that can be eliminated entirely. These are also referred to as micro plastics sometimes, and sometimes not–it depends on the knowledge of the person speaking and whether or not it suits their point. Anyways, there’s your not so fun fact for the day.
