At the moment, chlamydia is treated with antibiotics once sufferers have been diagnosed. However given the infection typically shows no symptoms, the current treatment doesn’t necessarily offer protection from side effects if someone has had the STI for a long time, including infertility and an increased risk of HIV.

For vagina-having people only apparently

It's clear that Pornhub knows it's partnered with a company that's accused of abuse by many women, and who claim that the Pornhub helped spread videos that ruined their lives. What isn't clear is why Pornhub continues to keep Girls Do Porn on its website, and profit from it.

Well you said it : « profit »

“I live in a small city,” she says. “Big enough to always be meeting new people, but small enough to see at least three people you know on an outing. I think where I live all the lesbians know each other, all the gays know each other, and so forth. I think it can become a bit of a cesspool where dating is concerned. Everyone you know has dated everyone you know.”

On the other hand, Eichhorn writes, such media can prevent those who wish to break with their past from doing so cleanly. We’re not the only ones posting; our friends and family chronicle our lives, usually without our consent. Growing up online, Eichhorn worries, might impede our ability to edit memories, cull what needs to be culled, and move on. “The potential danger is no longer childhood’s disappearance, but rather the possibility of a perpetual childhood,” she writes. We may, in short, have traded “screen memories for screens.”

I can only review Euphoria as a gay trans woman who desperately wants to see herself on screen, who desperately wants to see her past, her present, and her potential futures. I can only review Euphoria as a gay trans woman who for the first time on television got to watch a cis girl fall in love with a trans girl. I can only review Euphoria as a gay trans woman who for the first time on television got to watch any girl fall in love with a trans girl.

The creators of these kinds of sites often fancy themselves free speech activists, as though being against moderation and in favor of free speech were the same thing (they're not). If these forums are marketplaces of ideas, it is curious that they have become dens of far-right hate — fringe political positions, and not at all representative of how most online denizens think and feel.

Genital herpes isn’t uncommon; the Centers for Disease Control estimates that about one in six people between the ages 14 to 49 have genital herpes. It is perfectly normal to feel upset and scared on first hearing a diagnosis of herpes but those feelings will subside over time, gradually getting better. People who are living with herpes have long, healthy lives, with very few consequences.

Ultimately, shadowbanning creates an environment where it’s nearly impossible to build community on these platforms, especially for LGBTQ people and sex workers (and especially for queer sex-working people).

Si en Alsace, la manifestation du racisme est malheureusement devenue récurrente, c’est que partout, les politiques islamophobes et anti-réfugiés sont en train d’ouvrir la porte à l’extrême-droite et de la galvaniser. Quand à Strasbourg, les nazillons du Bastion social s’attaquent à un squat solidaire, ils le font alors que le 15 juillet, la police italienne a découvert un arsenal composé de dizaines de fusils d’assaut ainsi que d’un que d’un missile air-air chez un militant néo-nazi italien

“Stop the rhetoric that a woman is crazy or difficult,” Portman advised, […] “If a man says a woman is crazy or difficult, ask him, ‘What bad thing did you do to her?’ That’s a code word. He is trying to discredit her reputation.”

C’est l’histoire d’une meuf de trente-deux ans qui a eu une vasectomie il y a un peu plus de quatre-vingt-seize heures et qui en peu plus de larver sur son canapé en attendant que ses poils repoussent alors elle décide de raconter comment ça lui est arrivé.

The most normative gender transitioning story goes something like this: Trans woman realizes she was born in the wrong body from a young age, proves her womanhood to a doctor, starts hormone replacement therapy, gets surgery because of her intense discomfort with her genitalia, and comes out from the operating table as a perfectly cis-passing woman. It’s a cute fantasy, but it’s not entirely true.

Conducted over a 32-year period, researchers with the National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (NLLFS) said the children of lesbian parents they’ve been observing since birth are now 25 years old — and according to a battery of tests, those kids are just like children raised in heterosexual families.

Pour moi c'est un constat d'échec. Si c'est pas pour faire mieux que les hétéro quel est le l'intérêt ?

Even in the late 19th century, marriage was more practicality than rom-com, whereas today’s daters are looking for nothing less than a human Swiss Army knife of self-actualization. We seek “spiritual, intellectual, social, as well as sexual soul mates,” the sociologist Jessica Carbino told The Atlantic’s Crazy/Genius podcast. She said she regarded this self-imposed ambition as “absolutely unreasonable.”

J'ai fait une liste de truc importants à lire pour pousser ses réflexions féministes. C'est vraiment des bouquins et brochures qui bousculent beaucoup de présupposés et mettent le doigt sur beaucoup d'impasses politiques.

Bien sûr c'est voué à évoluer avec le temps.

[CW details on real and fake pedophilia cases]

In 2016, three decades after the McMartin trial, WikiLeaks, in cahoots with Russian hackers, published the private emails of top Hillary Clinton adviser John Podesta. In one, Podesta is invited to a fundraiser at Comet Ping Pong. Amateur internet sleuths blew it up into a conspiracy theory about a child-sex ring. The pedophiles communicated in code: “hotdog” meant “young boy”; “cheese” meant “little girl”; “sauce” meant “orgy.” The theory was easily debunked. Eventually it was abandoned by the high-­profile internet figures who’d initially given it oxygen, but not before Pizzagate, as it was immediately dubbed, had spilled over into reality. In December 2016, a 28-year-old man named Edgar Maddison Welch, having driven from North Carolina to Washington, DC, fired an assault rifle inside Comet in a bid to rescue the children he thought were locked away there. No one was hurt. Welch was sentenced to four years in prison.
