Oh, unfortunately I am sure we are going to hear what she has to say about this.
I assume for a charity event it's better to be safe and thus attract a bigger crowd which may not be there otherwise.
What I find interesting in this picture: Women freaking out to music in public was still such a rare occurrence at the time that the women in the back really don't know how to handle it. By now it has been normalized so much, nobody considers it particularly noteworthy. And the world is better for it.
While "tribadism" (old term for various lesbian sexual positions, including scissoring) has been known since antiquity, scissoring itself has only been distinguished from other lesbian sexual positions in several sexologist studies in the 70s. Its prevalence was heavily debated even back then, but there was little doubt about its existence before the emergence of modern porn.
Of course. ヾ(＾▽＾)ﾉ
The question is somewhat difficult to answer, because the reactions to HRT are very individual. They depend on things like your age, your genetic make-up and the kind of HRT you get (what kind of drugs, what dosage, etc.)
To put things as general as possible: If you start HRT you may first feel euphoria, which is (more often than not) a purely psychological reaction. The actual effects of HRT will usually begin to manifest after a few weeks (once again: highly depending on what you are taking and how your body reacts to it). Unlike the initial psychological effect this will usually be more gradual, as your body and mind "ease into" their new state of being.
The obvious physical effects usually take months to manifest (growth of breast tissue, etc), though infertility can come earlier, particularly if you take anti-androgens or progesterone.
Because you specifically asked about sperm, the effects of HRT are (mostly) reversible in that regard, particularly if you haven't taken HRT for long. Some people can become fertile after months, sometimes even years of HRT, once they stop taking it.
So: Yes, most people can stop HRT for a while, freeze some sperm and then go back on. There are no guarantees, but it works far more often than not.
I have to admit, I was also puzzled by what they mean with "horny", despite agreeing with the gist of the article.
Me? I am impartial, I am certainly not being paid by Big Dictionary!
*attempts to hide the old, dusty Oxford English Dictionary on the bookshelf
Dictionaries are - by definition - descriptive. It is not their duty to judge what goes into them. They merely collected terms used by people and explain what they mean.
Demanding to remove information from a dictionary, because you do not like what it expresses or the people who use those terms, is the very definition of censorship.
I think I experienced similar feelings which usually appear when I was comparatively "better" than during the times that counted as major depressive episodes, according to the professionals I dealt with.
But honestly the way our psyche deals with depression is highly individual and good, responsible therapists/psychiatrists/neurologists/... consider a variety of symptoms before making a final diagnosis. With the exception of a high risk of suicide which will immediately place the sufferer in the "major depressive disorder" category, because of the immediate danger to their lives.
What I want to say: Probably only an expert will be able to tell you exactly what kind of depression you have/had. And I cannot claim to be one. I am simply someone who suffers from it too and I read up about it.
I see your point. Well put.
