  • Oh yeah, this sort of thing brought a ton of perspective towards me. A half of my own transition is simply the questioning of how things were as I lived them. Especially cuz I fell in love with the boy and being a boy at the time I wasn’t allowed to do that. Come to find out I’m bisexual and I had to wrestle with the fact. I denied it for the longest time but I understood gay people after that. There were a lot of things that seemed true according to tradition, between the historical fictions of the United States, people forcing a hierarchy or specific gender or sexuality standard on other people, or whatever else. In the end, I learned how to love people for who they are rather than how society sees them.




  • Ideologically aligned is not quite accurate. I’ve met a couple of academy grads (and many military officers in general) and they’re generally pretty smart. Much smarter than JD Vance is. Some may be aligned ideologically, but I would say that most of them are probably not. It’s a 4-year pipeline too like any college, so they would have joined in 2022.

    They have been noticing the attacks of the Trump administration on higher academia. They’ve been noticing the failures of the Trump administration in foreign policy. They’ve noticed the focus on trying to get rid of the queers and women instead of legitimate Force structure reform.

    They’ve taken civics classes and understand how the government is supposed to work much more than the general population. They might not yell and protest JD Vance, but I don’t think many want to endorse him either.



  • I myself have reversed some male pattern baldness, so I know it’s anecdotal, but it can be reversed somewhat. It’s mostly because my testosterone is suppressed by Spironolactone which is an anti-androgen rather than because I have estrogen in my body though.

    Finasteride targets that specific hormone though without affecting the rest of your testosterone as much though. If I were to recommend anything to you, finasteride is probably the way to go unless you want to be a girl, in which case I will never stop you. Hims is a good place to go for Finasteride

    Estrogen does have milder antiandrogenic effects though. Some trans people can go on only estrogen and keep the testosterone away
