That is THE best Monster flavour and I will slap-fight anyone who disses it!
I have not, indeed :-< Came in late on the Monster crave, been a Coke addict most of my life.
Mango Loco’s good, but it kinda’… loses its novelty after the first half of the second can… Honestly prefer the peach one (forgot the name) over Mango Loco:-?
I think the peach one is the Nitro version? That is also yummy, though less so to me.
Edit: Just replied from my replies pane, forgot Monarch, that is yummy, but I can taste the sweeteners in it just about.
Personally I miss old Ripper, I swear they changed it (probably sweeteners) from what used to fuel me at Uni in the 2000s.
Mango loco #1, whatever the white sugar free can is #2. Because sometimes I don’t want to speed run diabetes.
Have you tried the sugarfree watermelon variety? Had a solid week of drinking that exclusively after first trying it.
I have tried neither, but I will give them a shot if I manage to find some!
Then I will promptly return here and present a backhand because you are objectively WRONG. The Punch is supreme!
(kidding, genuinely thanks for the recs, anything to detach myself from Coke…)
Get the yellow Rehab. Black tea and lemonade. The Peach is pretty good, too.
In the US, things have improved a lot and there are informed consent clinics where you can go to a clinic and sign a document saying you know what you’re doing and get a prescription for estradiol (not sure about T). Obviously things are very dicey politically, and some doctors are still shitty, but generally the medical/scientific consensus is on our side, and recognizes that it’s better for people to get meds through a legitimate doctor/pharmacy as opposed to more sketchy online stuff.
I only say this because I hesitated to look into it because I’d heard horror storirs about medical gatekeeping, but when I actually looked into it it was much easier than expected.
I think that sentiments like this are really dependent on the context that the diagnosis is made within. E.g. in countries with free healthcare, gatekeeping on some level is a necessary evil, not just in trans healthcare, but in general, to allocate funding. For example, I can’t get braces for free despite my crooked teeth, because they’re not fucked up enough to warrant it, so I’d have to pay out of pocket. I don’t think it’s that crazy that someone’s HRT wouldn’t be covered by the state if they’re likely to want to change to the opposite hormone profile just 3 months later.
Or am I just completely misunderstanding what this meme is talking about? Obviously, in a private healthcare setting, the only requirement is informed consent.
Well this is about the clinical definition of gender dysphoria, which isn’t a term used in treatment contexts outside the US (i.e., places with free healthcare). Most other countries, in clinical contexts at least, use the ICD11, which uses the term gender incongruence and is actually less strict
Thank you, needed that :3
