Alberta's Transphobic Government

I try really really hard to keep this blog about RPGs and writing. I really do. But when someone comes for my students, fists gets thrown.

We've seen the rise of transphobic legislation in various US states, as well as in Saskatchwan and New Brunswick. Now Alberta has joined the party. Despite the premier pointing out that there are trans youth in her extended family (I don't know how close the relation is, but somewhere in her close family) and swearing to not marginalize trans youth in the last election.

And ohhhh boy oh boy, my home province is once again aiming to hit the bottom of the barrel

Here's the tl;dr (quoted from the article):

Top and bottom surgeries will be banned for minors aged 17 and under. Doctors say bottom surgeries aren't performed on youth and top surgeries are rare.

Puberty blockers and hormone therapies for gender affirmation will not be permitted for children aged 15 and under.

Youths aged 16 and 17 will be permitted to start hormone therapies for gender affirmation "as long as they are deemed mature enough" and have parental, physician and psychologist approval.

Parental notification and consent will be required for a school to alter the name or pronouns of any child under age 15. Students who are 16 or 17 won't need permission but schools will need to let their parents know first.

Parents will have to "opt-in" their children every time a teacher plans to teach about gender identity, sexual orientation or sexuality. Alberta law currently requires parental notification and gives them the option to opt students out.

All third-party teaching materials on gender identity, sexual orientation or sexuality will need to be approved in advance by the education ministry.

Transgender women will be banned from competing in women's sports leagues. Smith said the government will work with leagues to set up coed or gender-neutral divisions for sports.

This goes well beyond what SK and NB have passed. It violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but Smith doesn't care and will likely use the Notwithstanding Clause to bypass it. Parents, medical professionals, and educators have all reacted with justified outrage. It is clear to those of us who care about youth that these policies will kill.

There is flattly no way in hell I will be deadnaming my students. For a government that says they want to remove red tape and bureaucracy, making parents opt-in to every single lesson involving anything other than heteronormativity sure seems like trying to use red tap to make teaching anything other than their ideology impossible.

What can you do to help?

If you are in Alberta, raise holy hell. Call your MLA, show up at the protests, add your voice to the chorus screaming that we don't want this.

If you are in Canada, there are also demonstrations in support of trans youth going on across the country. Let your MP know as well.

If you aren't from Canada, solidarity and visibility help! We've all seen how this shit has gone down in Florida and elsewhere. We need to stand together to stop this tide.

If you have business ties to Alberta and are able to divist them, please let the Alberta government know you are planning to do so if these proposals become law

Donate to 2SLGBTQ+ organizations in Alberta.

This is not the content I want to go viral from me... but if I have to choose one, make it this one. Please help us proect our kids.

Hello Queer-Advice-Hotline,

Thanks for all that you do! Just found this blog and it’s been really educating and helping.

I have a question. I’m nearly 34. Last year I started on a journey of getting to know myself and what I liked, as I spent a lot of my adult life dealing with trauma and resulting codependency issues. I was very femme, the last thing I thought I’d be questioning when I started this was my gender.

I always wondered to wear male clothing and decided one day to explore that urge. (The men’s aisle at old navy is a gateway drug.) I started using they/them and a different name. (The name was to cut ties to my trauma as well as express my gender.) I kept wearing more and more men’s clothing, and that’s all I wear at work and my home. It feels right to me. I am out as non-binary with people, but friends in my life have no clue I dress like a man, sometimes use the “he” pronoun and bind.

I now use he/they. I don’t define myself as a trans man though. I thought for a little while I might be, but have no interest in hormones or surgery. I bind my chest mostly in private and love how it looks and feels, but I think I’d feel more dysphoric without my top half then with them. I like my top half and it’d feel weird to be without it. I also love my bottom half and wouldn’t want to get rid of that either. I look at myself in the mirror sometimes and think “fuck I love my body”. About the only thing I’m super dysphoric about is my voice. I wish it were much lower.

I like the way I see physically look now with just the outside appearance alteration: the masc clothing, short hair, etc. I do often have anxiety about being out to people about my gender. I’m out to my friends as non-binary, but most of they think I’m still femme. At work I dress masc, at home alone, and at one comic store I go to. Most others don’t know. I’m slowly being more open about who I am (and feel great joy in that) but am not fully out. I know that this is because I have a lot of internalized transphobia because of my evangelical upbringing and I’m working through it. I fear rejection. I fear judgement. I worry my change in my identity is because of my trauma, or some head injuries I had in recent years. I don’t feel secure in my place at the queer table. How do you work through those fears? I identify currently as genderqueer trans-masc. I am not sure if I’m allowed to use the terms “transmasc” or the pronoun he”. But I have no interest in HRT or surgery. I worry I’m misappropriating an identity. Is is ok to define myself as genderqueer transmasc and not want to physically transition? Am I trans enough, I suppose is ultimately the question.

Thank you for the help. I’m a really shy person, don’t know anyone in the queer community, and wasn’t sure who to ask.

Surgery, hormones, and any other sort of physical transition are not required to be trans. You can absolutely define yourself as trans masc, genderqueer, or even as a trans man if you wanted to. It’s not misusing the label at all.

You would be trans enough even if you wore dresses, had long hair, and used she/her pronouns. You are trans enough as you are, always.

My Masterpost

(tldr at bottom)

So this is a majority political blog open to all takes on all global issues. You can make asks about anything and as long as it isn't absurd I will give my take on the issue. There's no one I'll refuse to debate with, and I don't just be stubborn and refuse to acknowledge if you make a good point

I say majority political blog cause I may splice in a few other things like hobbies which are music, history, photography, etc but it's unlikely to be frequent

Now as for my own takes, I'll give a few examples. I'm pro israel, not pro genocide and not anti palestine, there is a difference, make an ask for clarity or explanations. I'm not pro biden but wouldn't say pro trump either, Vivek was my favourite US candidate. I'm against abortion in the later parts of the pregnancy, but my general feeling is just do safe sex, and remember no child is unwanted. I'm all for gay marriage and generally believe what you do in the privacy of your own home is your business not mine or the states. However, while I'm not transphobic or against people being trans, my general belief is it isn't to be encouraged as I believe people would be far happier without being trans or having gender dysphoria than going through with things such as transitional surgery which can lead you to a life of physical pain and agony, so it's more so me thinking it's what's best for them, although it's your life and I can't dictate what you'd rather do, I just think people would be happier and healthier.

With all that said, I won't block anyone for having the opposite opinions of me or for disliking what I say or for insulting me, and I encourage you to voice your oppositions so you can either educate me in my misunderstandings or I can hopefully shed some light on lesser known facts. At the end of the day, I treat people like people, without the impact of race or gender, and my opinions of people largely come from my respect for them. If you push your agenda too hard, spread mistruths or spread unnecessary hate, I lose respect for you, and I don't like you, but anything you do to me personally will be very unlikely to make me dislike you.

TLDR; debate me on my opinions, or agree, any respectful discussion is open to me.

New(ish) mod post

Autumn says:

Hey folks! My name is Autumn and the oldest connoisseurs of the blog might recognize me. I first was added onto the mod team back around 2014. I was active probably around early 2015 before I burnt out and quit tumblr. I thought I might dip my toes back in the water with tumblr and this blog! I hope to be a resource for yall. There were two other Autumn mods, I am not them :P

The last time I posted I was in high school. I am now 23 and a 2nd year PhD student (18th grade!) studying Chemistry. I graduated from university with a degree in Chemistry and a degree in Gender, Women's and Sexuality Studies. I am a jewish white nonbinary transsexual from the US who uses they/them pronouns. I'd say that I'm fairly active in leftist organizing with a focus on trans activism, outreach and union organizing for my local graduate student union. I've been out for almost 9 years and on estrogen for 8 years. I underwent bottom surgery last year and am 15 months post-op. Other interests I currently have: disability justice, chemical education research, still taking COVID seriously, baking, world of warcraft (classic), osrs, fun hats, wearing the most unsightly outfits, drinking water, baseball and probably some other things.

I haven't been on tumblr for about 7 years so I'm still learning the UI and how to use the website, I deeply apologize for the boomer energy I might emit.

Thank you for reading and I hope to be able to build community with yall.

real meaningful problems to postop transmascs/transmascs seeking bottom surgery

bottom surgery too much money call that shit expensive

lack of education about bottom surgery to people who don't actively look for it so allies and enemies alike dont know shit about bottom surgery and people who would benefit from it dont even know what their options are

medical gatekeeping forcing people to jump through absurd hoops only to have coverage denied for anesthesia

good fucking luck finding a urologist who has any experience with post-op patients, idiot

difficult to find clinics outside of the USA and Thailand bc while they do exist most resources assume you either live in the US or have the resources to travel to Thailand

postop/seeking op people having the topic treated like its a very serious tragic discussion so we're not included in any conversations unless people are sharing articles about gender clinics being bombed or reminding trans people that bottom surgery sucks

postop people being seen as incapable of sex or having lost their transgender sex appeal so people feel pressured not to get bottom surgery lest they lose their boypussy which theyre acutely aware is seen by many people as the only reason you would fuck a transmasc person

again bottom surgery being seen as this worldending tragedy only the most selfhating transgendereds resort to is like The biggest problem for postop people and contributes to the isolation/alienation a lot of postop people feel. making jokes about bottom surgery and bringing it up in casual conversation is Good Actually and i wish more nonop people did it so i didnt feel like i only exist when its time for people to talk about how glad they are that they arent like me

transmisogyny in the transmasc community leading people to lash out at transfems for having "too much visibility" which prevents us from working together to strike back against the real enemy, healthcare providers forcing me to get updated mental health letters to prove im sound of mind for seeking phallo stage 2 as if im going to regret Just the tip

not real meaningful problems

random trans women making posts on their personal blogs about being trans women including posts about vaginoplasty

people making jokes about bottom surgery

postop people identifying with a variety of labels or having their identity change throughout the course of getting bottom surgery, yeah even people who end up not iding as trans anymore. not my business and not yours either

non-transmasc people seeking phallo/metoidio. aside from the extremely legitimate reasons intersex people who had surgeries performed on them without their consent/ppl with natal penises who have been in a Penis Accident would get it, or nonbinary people seeking it for the same reasons i am, who am i to judge if a cis woman wants to piss standing up. again why would i waste any energy on this when insurance companies exist

#c.paradisi #was origuinally gonna be about last rb but ended up being mostly about other things #can you tell ive been trying to get everything set up for phalloplasty stage 2. can you feel my agony #why the fuck do i need a letter from someone with a phd to confirm i do in fact want my urethral stricture repaired

[Social Media Headcanons]

Our next handful of headcanon posts are prompts found from the blog @nothingbutprompts , just wanted to give credit for the ideas :)) Sorry but you might get a little tag spam from us ;D

DISCLAIMER: Nsfw mentions, so 18+ only please! ageless or minor accounts dni CW: mentions of transphobia/homophobia/misogyny as well. Characters with this content will be flagged with 🤍

Headcanons under the cut -

Slender -

Slender has an account on every social media platform the pastas have JUST to monitor and shi, he doesn't post anything anywhere

Let’s be real, slender wouldn’t even know how to use them

he's one of those people that thinks a comment is a dm so he's commented on a pasta's public post somewhere once scolding them and he didn't know everyone could see it

thats it, still doesn't post or anything LMAO

He’d post on someone’s post like “please delete this photo, I am in the bottom corner and I do not like how I look it in. Thank you -slender man”

He always signs off with “-Slender Man” eventually it shortens to “-S.M.”

As if all of them don’t know that’s his account

He also gets salty if they don’t follow them back

he'd confront them in the mansion like "BEN, pardon my intrusion of your.. videos..game.. but I must ask why you are not on my friends list on this Tik.. tiktok? tiktok place. Are you not part of my family? Do you not wish to be associated with me?”

Laughing Jack -

LJ doesn’t have anything against the gamepastas or anything, but electronic entertainment just isn’t his thing unless it’s like a live show of a circus on TV or something similar like a movie.

He prefers physical or real life activities like board games, sports, stuff like that so he wouldn’t even have a phone or get on any computers

he would have a tiktok account that BEN made for him but he NEVER uses it cos he, again, doesn’t even have a phone or anything

He DOES like tiktoks tho, the funny fever dream type shit someone will occasionally show him but he couldn’t be bothered to check tiktok himself

Eyeless Jack -

Uses YouTube, Tumblr, Reddit, TikTok, and Twitter

Eyeless Jack posts stuff about surgery, what he does to do it, and has occasionally posted a video of him actually operating on someone

Though it gets taken down on tiktok 24/7 lol he gets mad pressed about it. He hates TikTok for it

He went on a really long 10 minute rant about how Tiktok is dumb for taking it down cuz it’s educational ON tiktok

YouTube and Reddit is where most of his surgery vids go to now, he uses TikTok to talk about surgeries and medical procedures since he can’t show them.

He actually uses clothing and editing to hide every inch of skin and non-human characteristic because he wants to share his surgical and medical knowledge without being called a monster all the time and people ignoring his knowledge

Because of this he actually gets a simp following because “ooh mysterious faceless man with handsome voice” loll

he has an alt account on Reddit under an entirely different alias as his main accounts so they can’t be linked together as the same person. On this alt account he’s entirely open about being a cannibal and how humans organs taste and such.

on a more wholesome note, he likes the sense of humanity his fan base on social media gives him when they talk to him or comment on his posts as if he’s just a normal being. Afterall, he used to be one although he doesn’t remember his human at all except for a small few details. He doesn’t crave to go back to that life, but it’s nice for him to know what it was somewhat like. It gives him a feeling like he knows himself a little better now.

Homicidal Liu -

Liu would have Reddit, YouTube, Tiktok, Twitter

Liu doesn't have any specific kind of post, he just occasionally posts about whatever mostly just comments and views other people's stuff

Hoodie / Brian -

Hoodie would have Tiktok, Twitter, Tumblr, and OnlyFans (lmao)

This man, Hoodie would make thirst traps and doesn't even hide the fact that he's Hoodie of course he hides his true identity though, he's gotta have a normal human identity to go get groceries and shi for the pastas

Has Jane cover his tats with makeup so he isn’t recognized in public by his tats

His posts on OnlyFans are literally the same as his tiktoks, they’re not even NSFW, that’s the joke and that’s what’s funny bout it

He has a hybristophiliac following on TikTok since his fan base clearly knows he is very much the real Hoodie.

Tails Doll -

TD uses Twitter and TikTok

TD, like Liu, just occasionally posts but his posts are cryptic and meant to be creepy or uncanny, but his accounts' main purposes are to comment and view other people's content

Jane the Killer -

Jane would probably have like every social media you can think of, at least the main ones

aesthetic monochrome type posts, but retweets/reposts gossip

posts her own pics from neck down in monochrome filter

follows Brian and makes fun of his thirst traps, also makes fun of his following for liking a literal murderer

🤍Masky / Tim -

Masky/Tim has 4chan and reddit for sure, as well as Twitter of course

bullies tf out of anyone he can on his main acc, bih doesn't even have an alt

misogynistic, homophobic, and transphobic posts

it's a wonder he hasn't gotten his account deleted yet, but he's definitely been cancelled

Glitchy Red -

Glitchy has twitch, tiktok, instagram, and twitter

streams pokemon nuzlockes, except he occasionally cheats on them

if anyone points out how he could potentially be cheating, his smartass would find a way to dispute it since he’s so tech savvy

he posts clips of his twitch streams on insta, twitter, and tiktok, they’re pretty much just plug platforms for him

but he has an alt pokemon fan acc on insta

Strangled Red -

Steven also uses twitch, tiktok, and twitter

He streams pokemon nuzlockes as well, except he couldn’t be bothered to put in any effort of cheating so he actually got really popular for his absolute meltdowns over losing or things not going his way

I’m talking screaming so loud into the mic it pops and gets grainy, throwing chairs, the good stuff

He already had a small following because of BEN, he’s definitely the one screaming at BEN for putting his cat on the mic iykyk

plays Osu! and gets a fanbase simping for his hands and he thinks that shit's weird af but funny as hell

a simp made a Master Hand and Crazy Hand joke as reference to smash bros ultimate and he calls the fan base crazy hands because of it

Jeff the Killer -

Jeff the Killer uses twitter, 4chan, reddit, tiktok, tumblr

likes ranting, and posting opinions and shi on twitter, 4chan, and reddit but also real weird shit on twitter like just what he's done in the day uses tiktok and tumblr not to post, but just to go through JTK simp content to fuel his ego and pride

Bloody Painter -

Bloody Painter uses insta, twitter, tiktok, deviantart, tumblr, and amino

just art everywhere, the occasional opinion on current topics on twitter, on tiktok he posts timelapse paintings and art challenges

Lost Silver -

LS also has accounts everywhere for the tea and shi yk yk

Lost Silver has Reddit and 4chan but not under his name

has a single post on insta of an image of his cyndaquil or celebi that's very blurry and a caption of a smiley face :))

Ticci Toby -

Ticci Toby uses twitter, tiktok, tumblr, instagram

posts funny fever dream like videos on tiktok

Judge Angels -

Judge Angels uses tumblr, twitter, instagram, tiktok

posts angel and pastel gore aesthetic stuff

Follows Helen on everything and likes every post

Sonic.exe -

Sonic.EXE uses reddit, 4chan, twitch, twitter, tiktok

tiktok posts are funny skits occasional cryptic video reddit and 4chan is like sonic fan shit or snuff videos of his victims

🤍 BEN DROWNED -

BEN DROWNED uses twitter, tiktok, twitch, reddit, 4chan

he's literally the kid who put his cat on the mic LMAO that's the video that got him popular on twitch he's streams LoZ, pretty much any shooter game

BEN absolutely despises Fortnite because of the fortnite kid jokes and everybody accused him of being one

almost got cancelled for saying tranny but he IS trans

Sally Williams -

Sally isn't allowed to have social media but she uses tiktok anyways and JUST tiktok

she would accidentally expose herself to the rest of the pastas by quoting a meme off of tiktok

-OUR OCS BELOW :)-

Valerie (OC) -

Val would 100% be an influencer

Val uses insta primarily, she runs an onlyfans, she also uses twitch, and TT but she rarely posts on it

Everything written down is agreed by the both of us though, it is our headcanons. <3

Squicks List

These are my squicks; please keep in mind of these before sending something in the Question Box, as well as the notes and quick answers I have at the bottom.

Pregnancy / Incest / Age differences. (Emotional angst is fine, but anything physical may not be written or interacted with; Anything involving minors will be warned explicitly)

Religious connotations (Non-human whumpees/whumpers are fine, but tying it all back to religion isn’t for me.)

Conditioning

Extreme slavery-related whump.

Domestic abuse.

Beastiality / Omega-verse

RPF / Reader-Insert.

Size whump.

Vore.

Medical whump (Specifically those that include surgeries.)

This list will be updated when I understand more about my personal whump references. I can still read them, but they may not give me whumperflies. And if it’s in my Question Box, I’ll probably answer with something short. If it’s a post, I may or may not reblog it as well. Though I will make it clear that I don’t write my squicks.

And just to add, these aren’t all a hard No. Others are more of a “maybe, if they are done well”, so do expect this list to be changed and updated as time goes on.

Quick Answers to some Questions:

Will you please tag __?

I would say yes, but to be honest, I won’t be able to do it for everything. I’ll do my best for common squicks and triggers and have specific CWs at the top of every post, but if it is specific, you may have to try a different method, or avoid my blog. (And I am absolutely open to police education in case I screw up on something.)

What about your AO3 fics?

I am better at extensively and accurately tagging on there, than Tumblr. Mostly because of the tagging system. But I will try my best to keep them both consistent there, and here because I do post both at the same time.

How about your Masterlists?

I will make it clear that any Masterlist I do may or may not have CWs, depending on the type and coverage. For writing masterlists, they will all go directly to the AO3 fic or original Tumblr post. While other kinds will be decided on, depending on my mood and schedule.

***Educational Purposes Only***

Normal questions for phallo (my personal experience, and facts)

"Do you feel anything?" - yes, I feel everything from touch, stroking, temperature, pain, pressure, pleasure, gusts of cold air. They do disconnect and reconnect nerves, so it does take time (years) depending on how you heal to have complete sensation. But you always have sensation there even beforr you are fully healed. I found the Urethral Lengthening Procedure and the Implants (erectile device and prothetic testicle). It took probably 3 years after all of the procedures for me to have what is called "complete tactile function".

"How do you get erect?" - it's a pump, after they create the scrotum (they use the labia for this), you get your pump installed into your main hand side (ex. My pump is on the right testie), and the other testie is just an implant. I squeeze my pump (or my partner), and then saline water is pumped from the testicle into two tubes (one on each side on my penis). Creating a natural looking erection besides having to pump. It only takes about six pumps for me. Doesn't take much effort. I have a three part inflatable device.

"How do you "deflate"/ go down after an erection" -on the testie that is the pump, there is a small button above it, it is actually kind of a small box with a button on it. I hold the button for about 15 seconds and just let my erection naturally go down.

"How many surgeries does it take?" - well, I guess four in total. You have your hysterectomy (which included for me a complete oophorectomy as well, recent advancements in this procedure have made it so an oophorectomy is now optional), then your phalloplasty the building and attaching of the phallis and vaginectomy only at this part. The next surgery was to connect my urethral, called urethra lengthening. The last surgery was to install the penile pump and testicular implant.

"What are the chances it will fall off?" - less than 1% in the hands of a skilled surgeon. (My surgeon told me this information as the source) - note post operative care is the most important part of healing properly.

"Where did they take the skin?" - they took the skin for my phallis from my forearm and used a thin layer of the skin on my upper thigh to cover the tissue left exposed on my arm.

"Do you have any issues today?" - No issues, I've been finished for quite a bit now. I enjoy sex, it feels good. It looks good. I've never been clocked even naked in a locker room. I do dribble sometimes if I hurry while urinating, and I have to use a special technique to ensure 100% emptiness, but I can pee just fine. I found the installation of the pump helps me urinate easier than without.

"Can you ejaculate?" - Yup! I can, at least. I also have pre-ejaculate. I ejaculate almost everytime I orgasm. (With this said, the ability to ejaculate, amount of, and frequency of are all variable factors that can depend on person to person)

"Is the orgasm different?" -yes! It feels better to me. It could be comfort, but ejaculating does feel good when you orgasm. Ejaculating can vary from person to person. This ejacuate is not like cis men's, it is a clear fluid from the Skenes Glands.

"Did you have any major issues?" - not really, I did have to see a wound clinic for my implant surgery. I had wounds that needed care. I got a bladder infection with the catheter during the healing stage of urethral lengthening and had it removed after just over two weeks (it was supposed to be in for six weeks), as a reference though one of my urine bags broke and I had a plastic baggie to try to repair it until I could get a replacement (i had to wait hours), I also have a compromised immune system. For my arm, I wore my compression sleeve 100% of the time, and my arm healed extremely well and flat. You just need to listen to the rules and be sure not to break them.

"Do you have to do anything (e.g weekly)?" - sorta, I have to make sure I pump fully once a week.

"Any issues urinating?" - nope, takes some getting used to, though (standing). I find that I dribble, but it's only when I'm rushing when I shake. I still sit most of the time, it's even very common in cis men as an FYI. (I asked a large group of cismen)

"Does it look real?" -Yes, my wife said she never would have known I was trans until I told her. All penises look different. Even getting an erection looks natural.

"Did you have any corrective surgeries?" -No, I got pretty great results the first time. I do plan on going to closer, regular plastic surgeon to put in a larger implant as my left testicle (non-pumping side).

Have any of your own questions? Send me an ask, I'll be happy to answer!

Stay Golden Everyone ✌️💙💜

I have completed the transfer to its own Blog

Week 7 - Digital Citizenship and Health Education: Body Modification on Visual Social Media

The history of body modification

Body modification is a practice with a long history across many cultures as a means of self-expression and representation of one's identity (Lane 2020). However, in modern times, the conversation around altering one's appearance has significantly expanded through online platforms. Social media sites have become virtual galleries where individuals proudly display modifications like tattoos, piercings and cosmetic procedures while curating aesthetically pleasing self-presentations. This visibility labour sees users engaging in self-promotion to garner large followers and perceived online influence. Celebrities in particular have capitalized on their ability to set aesthetic templates for others to follow (Warhurst & Nickson 2020).

Curating online personas

On sites like Instagram, popular "Instagramers" have crafted highly stylized feeds focusing on certain body parts or activities aligned with prevailing templates of masculinity and femininity. For women, this often emphasizes an enhanced hourglass figure with a tiny waist, prominent bust and bottom, and facial features through posed photographs. Specific poses emphasise the curvature of the hips and backside while slimming the midsection. Men likewise showcase chiselled, hairless physiques with well-defined six-pack abs, broad shoulders, and muscular arms and legs during athletic feats or casual modelling shots (Wohlrab et al. 2009; Ellis 2015).

Establishing aesthetic norms

The proliferation of these templates, increasingly influenced by health, fitness and cosmetic surgery influencers, has contributed to a body image crisis for some impressionable users (Timko & Cooper 2022). Individuals experience feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem and body dysmorphia when comparing their actual bodies to the seemingly flawless, surgically enhanced and heavily curated versions portrayed online (Dobson, Sarah & Robards 2018). This crisis is particularly concerning for teens and young adults who are still developing their self-identity. The templates promoted ignore the vast diversity of natural human forms and can promote unhealthy behaviours like risky procedures, steroid use or eating disorders just to achieve an unrealistic ideal.

Impacts of social comparison

While influencers have brought greater awareness to fitness and wellness, their content faces little oversight. Greater responsibility is needed from platforms and influencers themselves to educate viewers and curb the promotion of often unattainable aesthetic goals. However, digital communities also hold the power to shape social norms. Users must cultivate their online spaces with positivity, acceptance of diversity and discouragement of harmful comparison behaviours. In this way, both platforms and participants can work to mitigate potential negative impacts.

Exploring the Safety of Kidney Stone Laser Treatment

Is someone you know suffering from a kidney stone problem? Share this blog to educate them about the safety of laser treatment and when it should be considered as a procedure for treatment.

Many people are scared of kidney laser treatment, which is why in this blog, we are here to explore whether it is safe or not.

Is kidney stone laser treatment safe?

Laser treatment has been the preferred method for kidney stone treatment for over two decades, becoming the gold standard in clinical practice. Advanced laser machines with the latest technology offer improved efficiency and safety during the procedure, reducing the risk of complications. The latest advancements in laser treatment have the potential to surpass other modes of kidney stone removal.

One of the key advantages of laser treatment is that it is a safe and non-invasive procedure. Unlike conventional surgeries, there are no incisions made on the body, minimising the risk of infections and complications. The procedure involves the use of short and intense laser beams to break down kidney stones into tiny fragments, which are then naturally expelled through urine or removed through a ureteroscope. The entire process is risk-free, taking only 10 minutes to an hour depending on the severity of the condition, and ensures a quick recovery compared to traditional surgeries.

Laser treatment is also a less complex solution compared to other techniques, offering a faster recovery with cost-effective options. It is an outpatient procedure, eliminating the need for overnight hospital stays. The risks and complications associated with laser treatment are minimal, with only rare instances of minor side effects such as nausea and temporary bleeding in the urine. Recovery is quick, and patients experience no outstanding side effects.

When should you consider kidney stone laser treatment?

Laser lithotripsy is also known as laser stone surgery or laser kidney stone treatment. It is a non-invasive procedure used to break up kidney stones, bladder stones, and other solid objects in the urinary tract.

Laser lithotripsy may be recommended in cases where kidney stones cause severe pain or blockages or are too large to pass naturally. Patients who are not suitable for other kidney stone treatments, such as shockwave lithotripsy, may also benefit from laser treatment. Additionally, laser lithotripsy is more effective in breaking up stones located at the bottom part of the kidney.

Most patients can resume work and normal activities within a few days, though recovery time may vary from person to person. Some patients may take over-the-counter painkillers to relieve mild discomfort. In cases where a ureteric stent is used, it may cause some irritation. Ureteric stents are sometimes necessary to protect the kidney and allow the drainage of debris from shattered stones.

Do you want to know about the cost of treating kidney stones? The cost depends on the city you choose to get the treatment done. We provide a pricing list on the Kidney stone laser treatment cost in Chennai, and other cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, New Delhi, and so on.
