Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
And I'm supposed to make a sound bite out of all that \`(
ReplyDeleteGreat post though, and much appreciated.
Question: Can parental methamphetamine use cause a disorder of sexual development? Not getting anywhere at NIH.
Anecdotal evidence of drug use affecting sexuality
ReplyDeleteI'm not a professional anything, other than people proclaiming I'm a professional asshat, but as far as I know, there's no license I've ever applied for...). 3 Anecdotes
1. After a history of miscarriages, my mother was prescribed heavy doses of DES. Yup, I popped out and was TG. Had a weird little scar on the underside of near the end, maybe hypospadia that was corrected as an infant - no way of knowing at this point.
2. Mother was NOT prescribed DES for her next pregnancy, Brother popped out, no TG tendencies at all. Completely hetero and cis. Good for him, glad it worked out that way.
3. Married & adopted wife's kids. One daughter was a heavy drug user. everything she could get her hands on. One grandkid resulted with heavy anger management issues. Daughter got into even heavier drug use with her second pregnancy, and that grandkid is also TG. So we can rule out a genetic tie between the grandkid and me. Maybe nurture has a TINY part, since I raised both grandkids, but it's far more likely that just seeing me as TG made my grandkid more comfortable disclosing and had no impact on being TG.
