Next time transphobes call trans healthcare “experimental” you can show them this

ALT

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

*I have decided not to rate this post yet, in order to allow for any disagreements regarding the dates I have found. 

Some of the years I have found are different to OP’s, particularly the ones regarding trans history - and, in all fairness, finding reliable information on this stage of history can be difficult, and some information has been lost (for example, the Institute for Sexual Science, a pioneer of trans healthcare, was raided by Nazi’s in 1933, and its library and archives were destroyed). 

Furthermore, some of the items on the graph were not so much a single invention, so much as a process of invention, and as such it could be debated when they truly ‘began’. 

If you have any questions, or sources that contradict my timeline, please do feel free to send them to me! I have highlighted any differences in bold.

there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter

tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks… that website still lives on

truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that

reasons people have used to say i should ‘turn in my man card’

- they found out i dont like beer
- they found out i dont watch football
- they found out i sit down on the toilet seat when i pee instead of flipping it up
- they found out i know how to make cookies, crepes, and can decorate a cake
- they found out i dont like hotwings
- they found out i do the laundry and dishes


half the time it seems like the metric for ‘are you a man’ is ‘do you make the rest of us look bad by comparison’

You’re Going To Have To Pay To Use Some Fancy Colors In Photoshop Now

Due to a change in how Adobe licenses Pantone colors, old PSD files could start being filled in black

Kotaku

incredible work, capitalism

opening up a 20 year old adobe file just to find the entire thing is black can you imagine

Here are ways around this

Stuart Semple (of “by clicking this box you confirm you are not Anish Kapoor” fame) also has created a free colour palet plugin for Photoshop with the colours.
