I don't care if you don't believe me. You're drawing the wrong conclusions because you're expecting me to be against hormones and blockers. You're almost using that argument as a strawman.

You are wrong. All I said was children should wait until they're an adult before undergoing life altering irreversible surgery. Full stop.

disclaimer: do not attempt if you have any sort of blood pressure or cardiac issues or anything that might be aggrivated by a bit of orothostatic hypotension.

First, inhale for 4 seconds, completely filling your lungs, then exhale, completely emptying your lungs. Repeat, taking one second off the inhale each time, but keeping the exhale at 4 seconds.

The effect is amplified if you bend over while doing it and stand up quickly after.

The context was the comment chain that at no point mentioned anything but surgery.

If anyone took that to mean I was against all gender affirming care, they made a baseless assumption.

Fair enough. I wasn't sure since people had the mindset that the number of users moving to Lemmy were enough to take down reddit.

With the editing tools we have today, I feel like it would be simple to edit that out, but I guess it's not worth the cost.

I mean, I did just buy a jaw trainer that's basically a chew toy, so I'd be all over this if there were different strengths.

This happened to an ex of mine, as well as my wife (funny enough they have the same first name). Got a bunch of fillings that were "necessary" only to have a non-predatory dentist look at the xrays and be confused about why the first dentist did it.

It's definitely a thing, even with people who can't speak due to brain damage.

Voice resonance has more to do with your body/skull structure than anything. One thing that I find interesting is that most phenomenonal singers have rather large mouths. My singing ability actually improved as a child after getting my jaw expanded.

You can kinda test this out yourself. Hold a note with your arms by your side, then again with your hands on top of your head with elbows out. Your voice will have a lot more resonance because you're expanding your chest (this is also the best position to catch your breath in)

I also have a fun breathing exercise that will make you super light headed, which is fun.

 

I've ran into this a few times, and I'm not sure how to get in besides getting lucky with a scroll of teleportation. Maybe Etheral Chains, but there's nothing for them to hook onto.

I've checked the walls everywhere in the vicinity, and I can't find a hidden door.

 

We just watched the Futurama episodes where alien cats stopped the Earth's rotation, and they fixed it by making it rotate in the opposite direction.
