I agree that more research needs to be done. I don’t know the answers to those questions either. I’m sure there’s lots more knowledge out there that is known that I just don’t know, but there’s also tons of knowledge that’s lacking, the same way that there’s tons of knowledge that’s lacking about women’s bodies. Humans are fascinating and there’s so many different factors that can affect medical presentations or risk factors.

Unfortunately in the current climate that research is considered too “woke” to “waste” money on, so people will continue to suffer from insufficient medical care even when their providers are genuinely trying their best.

Sure, but none of the drugs that would be used in the situation you describe would matter enough to kill or seriously harm anyone. At worst it would just have a longer half life and then you just don’t give as many or as high doses later on. And that also applies to many different demographics including old people and people with other medical issues that causes them to clear drugs slower, which is why patients are monitored and dosed accordingly and the dosage schedule is a guideline not a rule.

If some random distribution of body fat could kill a person then you’d have people dropping dead left and right based off differences in everyone’s muscle mass to body fat ratio and it just doesn’t work that way.

I never said it was irrelevant, I literally wrote that it can be very very relevant in some cases, but it’s not so relevant that it’s vital to know if you’re unconscious and bleeding out.

This is like an abuser/immature teenager being like “you can’t leave me, I’ll kill myself if you do!”

Emergency medication isn’t dosed by gender, it’s dosed by weight. It really would only matter with certain drugs in pregnancy.

It is helpful to know the original gender for some things because certain illnesses present differently in men V women and not all of that changes post transition so if you are treating a man it would be helpful to know that he was born a woman so you don’t brush off certain symptoms as minor if in fact in a women they would be very alarming. For example, men having heart attacks are more likely to present with the classic chest pain radiating to their arm. Women can have chest pain, but often present as sudden onset of nausea and vomiting with no pain. That’s a rare presentation of a heart attack in a man, so a man complaining of severe nausea is more likely to be thought of as GI in nature, but if you know he’s trans then alarm bells start screaming that this might be cardiac and you need to do an EKG now.

But in an unconscious trauma patient, it doesn’t really matter. If a trans man still has a uterus then that’s an additional organ to be damaged that might not be expected, but that’s not something that’s going to be caught in the ambulance either way because we don’t have a CT scanner hanging out in the cabinets.

The clip broke off mine the very first time I used it :(

I had the one later generation of iPod nano that was a little square touch screen with a clip. That thing was great, I could clip it onto my clothing anywhere and go for a run and it wouldn’t move. I miss the days of iPod nanos and classics.

Sanctuary of Sarras was surprisingly good. I started it and was like meh, I’m not interested in an undersea world, I’ll go back above water. Went back about a week later and played it all the way through and did all the side quests and really enjoyed the world and exploring the different mini regions.

Giving my cat new toys is the greatest thing ever. He’ll take it, go play with it for a minute or so, then come give me a head butt kiss before he goes back to playing, just like he’s saying thank you. If I give him something like a pack of toy mice he’ll go “test run” each one individually and I get a kiss between each one.

Without trash collectors, our society would be a trash filled wasteland or filled with smoke from burning trash heaps. Pests and disease would be far more widespread than they are now. They’re underappreciated heroes. We quite literally couldn’t have civilized neighborhoods without them.

I always felt bad for his character. He seemed like a chill if slightly dumb dude who just wants to make a paycheck and go home, and he was just around as someone to get lightly picked on and put down. I wished they would have done more character development with Kevin, I felt like there was potential there.
