Profile descriptions
I'd like to suggest adding a description to the profile. E.g. I would like to mention that I am male, so people are not thinking I'm pretending to be female.
I also considered an option of adding a "male" flair, but maybe it's an overkill, as in my opinion content of the arguments should be the first thing to consider and not characteristics of the person arguing. And if one wants to check the details about the person, one can see the profile, so I think it's a good compromise.
EDIT:
Besides the flair (always visible) and the description in the profile (which requires clicking and changing the page) another option in between those two would be a small panel which appears when you move your mouse over the user name and which can contain some info about the person.
Also instead of text description which might encourage creating profiles and doxing, as one of the other users described below, it might also just be a simple checkbox.
I’ve been telling friends and family with some medical knowledge that when they say puberty blockers, they mean lupron. It horrifies them.
If you were to bring this contradiction to Google's attention I wonder what they would do... a) correct the puberty blocker information; b) change or delete the Lupron information; c) just totally ignore you
Trouble sleeping should be considered a big deal. Lack of sleep quickly impairs the immune system and general ability to think.
I know many women with endometriosis who were “treated” with Lupron and never regained ovary function.
holy shit. why is lupron a treatment for that?? what is it supposed to do?
Because there is a widespread belief amongst doctors that hormones treat endometriosis even when they do not. There can be some relief gained by entering an artificial (medical) menopause. I was on a similar drug called danazol that left me with some terrible permanent side effects.
Any relief is temporary and at what cost?
Lupron severely depresses production of sex hormones. GnRH agonist. And it has a ton of really nasty side effects.
It was developed for palliative care for end-stage prostate cancer. It's no joke.
Why is decreased libido bolded? It's definitely not the worst thing on that list.
I assume on the original page the text is sourced from, the bolded text is a link.
I wish I’d had the forethought to save it, but there was a thread a few months back posted by a woman who had been on Lupron for medical reasons and the side effects were just terrifying and awful.
Why it’s even approved is beyond me and how easily it’s being handed out instead of as a last resort is disgusting to begin with, let alone experimentally being given to minors.
If there is a better circle for this let me know.
I was listening to Blocked and Reported podcast the other day and they mentioned how the search results are different when you search "puberty blockers" versus the name of the actual drug most commonly prescribed as a puberty blocker.
It's fine! It shows the contradicting information that's out there regarding medical transitioning.
