Biological women have a more beautiful understanding of transness because we don't focus on passing.

Cis women have beauty and joy that almost makes me tear up, it's so expansive and I think a lot of Trans people base their womanhood on struggles and trauma. They probably think "I was 5 years old and I was in a wrong body" ha-ha-ha. Your transness is not your ability to sexually assault through penetration.

So how bout that huh. Do they even understand how absolutely skewed their shit sounds? I'm so glad women are waking up and hopefully this insane virtue signaling circus will calm down a bit.

"Protect the Dolls" lands irksome

The term might have originated as in-group slang but it now seems to be a mainstream way to refer to a Trans woman. It feels like mockery at this point. Dolls are exaggerated, idealised toys of beauty standards, a caricature of a woman. For children. And frankly, it feels very objectifying for Trans women and women alike.

A doll is a stylized, often sexualized or infantilized representation of a woman, something manufactured to look like the ideal rather than the reality. Applying that word to males who identify as women imply that “woman” itself is a look, a performance, or a constructed ideal rather than the adult human female.

When a label centers extreme beauty standards, “plastic” perfection, or surface femininity, it reduces womanhood to aesthetics and artifice. It just keeps the consensus alive that to be a woman is to perform for the male gaze, not just individual males, but the indomitable expectation-based surveillance of how much women have to self-submit. It's misogynistic.

Is the premium worth it?

I'd like to hear from people who know basics of AI to tell me how the thing works inside the app, does it have a memory system? I assume not since even the official gemini app lacks a memory bank.. But is there like a new chat each time you use the coach, if not what's the context window? Is there cross chat memory? Does it apply personalization to your feed suggestions once it knows about your conditions/fitness baseline? Are there any official statements about how it learns about you over time beyond Fitbit stats, if at all?

I'd also love to hear everyone's experiences with using its AI for food tracking, especially for macros.

Just got my first infusion

I've had lifelong iron deficiency, my ferritin has been completely empty even when my hemoglobin has been within range. I've suffered from extreme symptoms like vision blurring, insane fatigue, feeling completely out of breath even at rest you name it. It's been three hours now, and my vision is better. I'm able to breathe more easily than I have for months. I did not expect this and I'm still wondering how much of this is saline hydration, stress relief, or simply a placebo. Still, it truly feels like I'm able to breathe as if the air is fresher, I don't need to be grabbing my shirt collar or necklaces in attempts to get air as I have for months. Has anyone else experienced such rapid improvements? I'm fully waiting for the crash and fever fatigue. I was fully expecting to feel half dead right now or at best nothing.
