This actively happened in my lifetime, and I’m in my 30s. A lot of us experienced it in real time and no one stopped it. No one helped us.

When I was 16 we would hang out outside and inside the library. We ranged from a group of 20 to a group of 3-4 people on any given day, because us 16 year olds also hung out with whatever other kid was around the area. (Mostly younger siblings and then their friends.) We never did anything wrong, never mind illegal. We were never loud in the library and were always polite to the staff. We sometimes got a little loud outside on the street when there was some contest thing going on, but not very often. We mostly hung out and talked about stuff going on in our lives.

Then one day someone called the cops on us.

And the cops showed up all ready angry, then started yelling at us for doing nothing. They couldn’t even come up with a real reason to be there yelling at us, other than to demand to know if we were a ‘gang’. When one of my friends started crying, I turned to tell her that it would be ok. The cop grabbed me, screamed at me to not look away when he was talking to me, then demand I get in the cop car and go down to the station. It took almost an hour for my mother to find out where I was because I didn’t have a cellphone at the time and the cops had just fucking kidnapped me. For comforting a friend while they screamed at us. And you know what happened?

We never hung out like that again. None of us. We all got banned from the library for a year. Again, all of this for literally no reason. They told us we were ‘misbehaving’ for simply hanging around outside being kids. And then we had no where to go. Some of those kids were forced back into their abusive homes. I literally never saw half of them again. Ever. And I lived in that town for several years after that.

So, yeah. They just started kicking us out from the outside years ago and not a single adult or group of adults gave a shit.

Guess who is getting combo T and E ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 getting low dose cis girlie T cream dose that post menopausal women get to increase their sex drive :3

Tbh this is actually a big deal. I was denied access to a gender affirming endocrinologist in 2022 by a nonbinary doctor after stopping the estrogen that I was coerced into taking that made me sick. I was sent to a doctor who spent an hour trying to convince me I had to be a man to be okay looking the way I do. I've fought long and hard against medical intersexism to get here!

Intersex people don't get to celebrate medical success often and we are often denied hormones that would make our bodies FUNCTION. We are often forced into whatever hormone socially aligns with the gender we were assigned, even if that goes against our physical and chemical need. Wanna lean into your intersex traits or transition at all? You have 50 more hoops to jump through than perisex people.

It's big that I got the hormones I've been demanding for two years while refusing to change my gender identity for bigoted doctors' comfort. It's huge!

They got community noted.

I uh. Have an actual answer for you. As a fat hairy Jew that also likes other fat hairy men.

The Mediterranean is basically the bear belt. Maps of body hair distribution vary, but they all agree that the Mediterranean, and particularly the Levant, have the hairiest men.

It's baked in 😳

And yes. Yes you are lucky.
