John Oliver discusses why trans athletes seem to be at the center of U.S. politics right now, the nuances around competition and safety, where the conversation could be headed, and what The Rock would do in a barre class.

Another great video for trans information from a medical provider. She talks about a lot of subject trans people face and have to deal with along with offering advice and support. Hugs

I have posted this before and it is a great source of easy to understand science on sex. The old idea is that there are only two sexes, male and female so if it dangles your a boy / male and if it doesn’t your a girl / female. But as always medical science like most other sciences progressed and more data and facts became clear. Sex is not binary instead it is a spectrum. So for those that say you can’t change your sex, actually sex determination by genital inspection is incomplete and our sex is determined by far more than your genitalia. I once posted an article by a biologist that did a full chemical work up on a woman who had given birth to three children. That woman was happily female but her genetic markers and chemical make up had her slightly male. I have read of men with full working penises whose genetic makeup marks them as female. Life is far more diverse and wonderful than we once understood. Hug
We’re taught that chromosomes define biological sex: XX = female, and XY = male. However it’s not quite that straightforward. Hank Green hosts as we explain how science proves that biological sex is a spectrum.
I have two stomach issues causing my problems right now. I have gastroparesis and a sensitive stomach that cannot take pressure.
I woke at 1 am with stomach pain and nausea. At 1:30 am I lurched to the toilet to vomit. Everything in my stomach came up, and I felt better after the pressure was relieved. I went back to bed. Then I woke at 4:15 and knew I was going to vomit again. I was bletching a lot but it was not going to be enough pressure release. At 4:30 am I was again voiding my stomach into the toilet. I went back to bed but got up at 5 am anyway.
I drank a cup of water too fast and in 20 minutes it came back up. So I started slower. I had two fiber cookies and slow sips of water. Everything stayed down, and I felt fine if very tired. So at 10 am I am having the other half of my sandwich from last night. My stomach feels very full but I am not nauseated. Ron is getting very worried as he thinks my stomach is getting slower at emptying and that it is becoming more sensitive taking less pressure to cause me pain and being nauseous. Time will tell.
