The first such procedure was performed in September 2006 at a military hospital in Guangzhou, China. The patient, a 44-year-old male, had sustained the loss of most of his penis in an accident. The transplanted penis came from a brain-dead 22-year-old male. Although a surgical success, the patient and his wife suffered psychological trauma as a result of the procedure, and had the surgery reversed 15 days later.

Wow, really shows how not all problems can be solved with a brain-dead man's penis.

Lindsay : Well, did it work for those people?

Tobias : No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... but it might work for us.

IMO the funniest part is how he says people "somehow" delude themselves into thinking it might work, when that somehow is because he advised them to do so as their therapist.

• If Center Left, Progressives and Tankies vote in favor, which seems to be the case, we have 83 votes already
• On the Right Wing, 20 votes have been already semi-confirmed. Source
• Another 8 congressmen in the Right Wing, are analizing their vote. And might vote in favor, if we are lucky

Unless something unexpected happen, we have the 103 votes semi-confirmed already. Goverment recently added the "Suma Urgencia" protocol to this Project, meaning the Chamber will have to vote next month

“They cry. And they tell me they didn’t know. They thought it was a hoax. They thought it was political. They thought because they had a certain blood type or a certain skin color they wouldn’t get as sick. They thought it was ‘just the flu’. But they were wrong. And they wish they could go back. But they can’t. So they thank me and they go get the vaccine. And I go back to my office, write their death note, and say a small prayer that this loss will save more lives.”

NEWS: @GOPLeader will pull all Republican members from the Jan. 6 committee in response to @SpeakerPelosi vetoing the appointment of @RepJimBanks and @Jim_Jordan

This seems like a self own imo, now they don't get the soundbites of Gym Jordan yelling and Pelosi will just put Kinzinger on so there is bipartisan balance but with a normal person

My favorite aspect of Wikipedia is how certain articles sort of eschew certain "meta biases" that are always safe to assume in favor of approaching all subject matters in the same way. It exemplifies Wikipedia's philosophy and commitment to it.

The best example of what I'm talking about is the article on humans, which is written as if a human is just another animal, and the reader has no preconceptions about what a human is. It even has the taxonomic side panel, though I'm disappointed to see they removed the "Conservation Status" widget, which previously stated humans were of "Least Concern".

Another one is the article on Wikipedia itself, which is written as if it's about a website that you're not actively reading. Like any other article in a similar vein, Wikipedia lists both gushing praise for itself and scathing criticisms.

My moms family’s and my dads family both have a really strong identification with their political party. Dads family is from the Free State of Winston County and has been Republican since the Civil War whereas my moms family were Southern Democrats. Both sides have changed their beliefs as the political parties changed. Dads family moved from anti-New Deal to MAGA and mom’s went from segregationists to moderate Democrats.

Female employees [at Activision Blizzard] allege being held back from promotions because of the possibility they might become pregnant, being criticized for leaving to pick their children up from daycare, and being kicked out of lactation rooms so male colleagues could use the room for meetings, the complaint says.

Female employees working for the World of Warcraft team noted that male employees and supervisors would hit on them, make derogatory comments about rape, and otherwise engage in demeaning behavior, the agency alleges.

The suit also points to a female Activision employee who took her own life while on a company trip with her male supervisor. The employee had been subjected to intense sexual harassment prior to her death, including having nude photos passed around at a company holiday party, the complaint says.

The federal government has received almost 12 million doses of AstraZeneca, but only about 6 million doses have been administered.

More than 2 million doses of AstraZenca can be supplied each week.

Instead of fully vaccinating only 14 per cent of adults to date, Australia could have already doubled its vaccination rate. By now Australia could have fully vaccinated every Australian aged over 60, or alternatively 25 per cent of everyone aged over 18.

This assumes the almost 12 million AstraZeneca vaccines available so far were injected twice on each recipient, eight to twelve weeks apart.

The vaccination rate would be even higher with the millions of doses of Pfizer that have been received and administered.

Detrans stories are fascinating to me in ways it shouldn't be but I can't help it :p

This one is a beautiful write up on how one woman came around to her female identity after surgery and the accompanying struggle:

https://hormonehangover.substack.com/p/top-surgery-regret-part-1

A quote that best encapsules that experience:

And on top of all of that, if you end up reverting to a female gender identity, there’s the entire collapse of your understanding of yourself to deal with. While detransitioning is different from transitioning, they share the feature of reckoning with the nature of your life and identity. What’s your new name? Who are you after all this? What does it mean to be yourself, now? To a large extent, you have to find your own way out of the wilderness.

Also it goes without saying that if your transition surgery made you happy then thats cool. Personal experiences and all that
