"You're supposed to want sex the same way you did at 25 for the rest of your life, and if you don't, it must mean you're broken or your relationship is failing."

Youth Gender Medicine Is Indeed Up for Debate

As the shaky evidence base for youth gender medicine has become better known, activists have retreated to an argument from authority. Never mind the Cass Report, whose findings resulted in the closure of Britain's leading youth gender clinic. Never mind the study by a leading American practitioner showing that the treatments she championed did not improve minors' mental health. Never mind reports that some adolescents were being put on a medical pathway after only a single clinic visit. For advocates, the important thing to remember was that "gender-affirming care" for minors-puberty blockers and hormones, plus surgery in rare cases-was endorsed by all of the major American medical associations.

My New Guy Asked Me the Most Awkward Question During Sex. I Don't Think He Wants to Hear My Answer.

You are being asked to play into the contorted (you might even say deluded) way that many obsess about penis size. Inflation runs especially high on apps, where (at least in the gay world) it is wise to subtract an inch (or two!) from whatever number a guy presents. Continuing the charade IRL can feel like actively thrusting yourself into absurdism. You don't have to lie to anyone for the sake of their penis-shaped ego.
