me messaging a casual acquaintance: hello, how are you?
me messaging a best friend w/zero lead-in:
Next time transphobes call trans healthcare “experimental” you can show them this
penicillin was first discovered in 1928; vaginoplasty is less experimental
ibuprofen was first discovered in 1961; phalloplasty and HRT are less experimental
Adderall was first applied as an ADHD treatment in 1994; puberty blockers are less experimental
would also like to note that every single one of these procedures and treatments has been through rigorous testing usually both on animal models and humans in order to be approved as safe and effective by the FDA and not a single one is considered experimental. just in case anyone tries to be like “well HPV vaccines and Adderall are also bad”

If you think about the ancient Egyptian head-rest or neck-rest,
…it’s basically the same idea. Something to get the head positioned comfortably while minimizing anything that could trap body heat & sweat in an already hot climate.
As the video points out, it’s not that they didn’t have fabric or other soft pillows, but soft pillows wouldn’t be preserved until modern day. So we have more records of the hard ones :)
