It may have been a situation with my particular school, but the dorms ended up costing more than renting a room (Flatbush vs Park Slope Brooklyn), AND they wanted grad students even to physically share bedrooms. I could image it at 19, I was not going to deal with it at 24.

- Comment on Is the m-word a slur for people with dwarfism? If so, what are more appropriate terms to use other than dwarf? 1 month ago:
I always feel weird when fantasy settings have references to things that are very specifically real world. How can you have champagne in a world without France. Lilliputian requires either the island of Lilliput to exist, or Johnathan Swift to have lived and written Gulliver’s Travels. And that would have been very very different because it was satirical commentary on the politics of Britain at the time of writing.
- Comment on Why do I constantly see testostorone being put into evreything from pills to candy bars but its illegal for trans men to get it? 5 months ago:
So I don’t know where you are or what your healthcare system is like, but I suspect it’s somewhere with a public system. Do you think it’s good for your system to treat depression and suicidal ideation/attempts? Because transition is the best prevention of suicide attempts for people who are transgender. Full stop. If there was any treatment that came close to the improvement for depressed cis people, it would be considered a god damn miracle.
- Comment on How plausible is a medical tricorder? 5 months ago:
Honestly the way they used it, I always thought the tricorder was just the reading part of other diagnostic implements. Kind of an all in one CGM, implanted pacemaker, etc.
