when i think abt how fucked up wait times are for trans people getting medical care, i often think about my own experience in comparison. im a cis woman who naturally produces a lot of testosterone.
at 19-20 i went to the GP for sth completely unrelated, he looked at my face 1/

... or rather he looked at my facial hair and basically said I wanted to see a gynecologist to make sure all was normal. i had a gyno appointment within 6 weeks, she ordered bloods and a scan to check for cysts, i saw her back 3 weeks later and she put me on androcur 2/

now, the only issue i have from high T, since i don't have cysts, is bad skin, greasy hair, and a bit of self consciousness about my neck beard that is easily treated with wax. but in under 3 months i had hormonal treatment for a problem i didn't know I even had before! 3/

What androcur does is it's basically a hormone blocker for testosterone.
in cis women it's prescribed alongside the pill bc getting pregnant while on it is bad (or at least they don't know what it'd do)
it's also given to cis men to prevent/help with prostate cancer iirc 4/

a few years later i accompanied a friend to a trans support group & learned that it's the exact hormone blocker they give to trans women at the beginning of their transition (or in some cases the only meds they get bc some endocrinologists refuse to give HRT) 5/

so i, like 22yo and on it for years, was talking to trans women in their 40-50s struggling to get even that

like, again, i was on these meds within under 3 months. do you know what the waitlists look like for trans people to have a *first appointment* 6/

that 1) ia often traumatic and 2) rarely actually leads to a prescription before a 2nd or 3rd or 4th appointment? with mostly psychologists and psychiatrists?

for meds prescribed normally to cis men and women without any fuss but for checking your bloods? 7/

so when they say that trans care is oh so different and complicated and ofc you can't just prescribe stuff... it's really just transphobia and double standards. it's meds that are prescibed by GPs and gynos that suddenly need a multidisciplinary team and 3yrs wait time ..

... simply because the patient is trans, and despite studies and protocols that show patient-led care is the best care.

trans care is specialised but it also really, really isn't. I've researched it, I've interviewed trans people abt it, and any way you look at it..

it's made obscure and mystified to justify gatekeeping. any trans person can tell you that of course, but i think as cis people wr don't often grasp just how... regular... some of that care is. cis teens get prescribed blockers for acne. i got it for greasy hair and hairiness

(and part of that last one is wanting to fit cis women into a certain feminine mould, sure, but that's the same system that puts trans people through years of unnecessary pain for mundane treatments they're happy to give us cis in no time. there is no good reason for any of that)

t*rfs in particular i think play on cis womens and cis parents' ignorance. if you think it's all complicated treatments and brand new science you're much more likely to encourage wait times and want to keep teens away from what you're led to believe is experimental treatments.

it's not though. Not to mention trans healthcare has over a century of existence, but the meds used - especially for teens - are well known and safe (as safe as any meds can be) for trans and cis people alike. you can get them easily - unless you're trans.

and gatekeeping one group's access vs another is the literal definition of discrimination.

this thread is kinda blowing up (for my standards), got nothing to sell but support your local trans org!

if you don't know where to start: https://t.co/ZlMmKeqcEi

(i will append here that ofc this is a generalisation and my own personal experience and yes there are roadblocks for cis people too, especially if you're a woman, or fat, or Black, or disabled etcetc. but by and large from the replies cis white women have a comparatively easy...

... time getting hormones for all types of conditions from endometriosis to pcos to menopause to thyroid issues. that is the single point i wanted to make. not that there is no discrimination against cis women in medicine (there is) but that it's still much, much easier)

EVOLUTION OF CROWNS

The ancient Indian kings called a head crown as a Mukut and it would mostly constitute of a golden ornamental headgear like an oval cap with gems.

Sometimes it would also include a halo circle to show the divinity of the king

1/7

As it was considered that kings were appointment by the gods themselves. Example the kings of mewar considered themselves to be the ‘Diwan of eklingji')

But in most cases very few Mukut with halo effect have been found.

2/7

Samudragupta in the gupta era coin. You can see the helmet like headwear on him.

Till gupta era the solid golden head wear was used in most days of the monarch.

But since the onset of 8th century it reduced in usage and was now used only as a ceremonial headwear.

3/7

Whereas earlier the Maharaja had to wear the mukut whenever his court was in session.

Still mukut was being used prominently for ceremonial activities till recent times.

Maharaj Dahir of Sindh👇

4/7

But as times past the style of headwear also changed.

The kings mostly wore turbans ordained with pearls and gems while rarely anyone wore a true Mukut after 16th century.

Demystifying Ghazwa-e-Hind. A #thread.

A recent video of Shoaid Akhter surfaced in social media creating a lot of controversy where the #Pakistani Cricketer can be seen suggesting invasion of India by using the term Ghazwa-e-Hind.
Radicalization of sportsmen seen off late
(1/10)

Some radical Islamic preachers believes that Ghazwa-e-Hind means a “Holy War against India”. As per this irrational & profane concept, there will be a fierce battle to secure victory over #India.
#Kashmir
(2/10)

#Pakistan-based terror groups, like JeM have been using Ghazwa-e-Hind as a Hadith to recruit, fund and justify its terror strikes as a religious holy war against #India.
#Kashmir
(3/10)

Some machiavellian people claim it is a prophecy that Muslim warriors will wage war against the #India.
Jaish & others falsely propagate that Jihad against India is considered holy in Islam & that those participating in it will be granted an easy entry into paradise.
(4/10)

However prolific scholars says that this is a made-up interpretation of some verse in The Holy Quran to mislead the gullible youth of #Pakistan into picking up arms and fighting its Army's personal battle against #India.

Ashta Siddhi

Ashta Siddhi is mentioned in Patanjali Yog sutra and can be obtained by very few through countless years of practice and devotion to all eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga.

Siddhi can loosely be translated as accomplishment or a special power or unusual skill.

The eight Siddhis are:

1. Anima: Reducing one’s physical self to the size of an atom.

2. Mahima: Expanding one’s physical self to infinite level

3. Garima: Making one’s physical self so heavy as immovable by others

4. Laghima: Becoming almost weightless

5. Prapti: Being able travel anywhere in the Universe

6. Prakamya: Can know & understand what is going on in one’s mind. Can understand other person’s min.

7. Ishitva: Possessing title of Bhagwan

8. Vashitva: A seeker can subdue any person/thing

(Hanuman Jayanti is coming)

Hanumanji not only possessed all eight siddhis, but was also blessed by Sita mata as “Ashta Siddhi Nau Nidhi Ke Daata”.

When Hanumanji first reaches to Lanka on his mission to find Sita, he makes use of anima so as to be discrete in enemy territory.

He uses it again when he approaches Sita mata for the first time – reducing his size to that of a schoolboy, to avoid scaring her. He uses mahima to outwit & overpowers
the demons.

1/ Someone emailed me asking how to break into VC, so I wanted to answer on Twitter where others could see and contribute to the conversation.

2/ “Being a VC” can mean a lot of different things, so it’s worth asking:

What actual activities do you want to do?

- Deep market analysis?
- Be in the flow of information and people?
- Make deals?
- Work closely w/ founders over time (e.g take board seats?)
- Manage capital?

3/ It’s worth specifying what type of VC you might like to become — as there are different archetypes. E.g.

- Benchmark (Lead series A/B - couple investments a year)
- First Round (Lead seed rounds, partner w/ a few companies a year)
- SV Angel (Make lots of seed investments)

4/ Continued:

Expa - Incubate companies

YC / Village Global - Build a platform to help entrepreneurs at scale

Do you want to join a firm or start one? There’s a lot to consider.

Different paths will require different skillsets & sets of experiences.

5/ Since the person who wrote the email is a young person trying to break into VC by joining a firm (and who doesn’t want to start a company), I’ll tailor this tweet storm to that goal. There’s some overlap.
