we really are getting \"you can fuck teenagers but they can't buy estradiol\", aren't we. the most clownish possible thing, and that's what the archons went with.
One way to think of it is the last trans wave came as the peak expression of the two midcentury master-disciplines of health: psychiatry and surgery. And this wave constructing hormones as the key was the peak of the psychopharmaceutical era that started with Prozac and SSRIs in the late ‘80s, Ritalin and the centrality of “ADD” in the '90s.
Maybe just like every major technical advance promising immortality, medicine tends to promise to transcend gender
Honestly what Oregon’s getting in on might be the start of a psychedelic era that takes over some of that weight, I suppose via like MAPS, Erowid and The Lycaeum, “psychonaut” shit, that would fit my model of the 90s suddenly becoming relevant again
