The potential harm of psych hospitals is often talked about like it’s impossible to study because you can’t ethically do controlled trials around hospitalizing/not hospitalizing (which id argue should be a point against them, as you’re committing a massive invasion and violation of autonomy for something you have no proof improves long term outcomes. Lack of data works both ways). But this study actually attempted to do this, it looked exclusively at “edge cases” (patients where there would be a reasonable disagreement between doctors on whether they should be admitted) and it showed that involuntary hospitalization in this population is associated with higher risks of suicide, accidental overdose, job loss, homelessness and even violent crime in the following three months. I think most people don’t realize how subjective these evaluations can be - one doctor in the sample admitted only 11% of er psych patients, while over 40 over the 400 something doctors admitted 100%. Anyway the conclusion was that “better safe than sorry” admitting actually more dangerous than discharging in those situations. Good to have data on this.

it sucks that the backrooms and by extent liminal spaces turned out the way they did in popular culture. i love dreamy places not because they're full of Scary Screatures or whatever but because they're fun and interesting and cool and a perfect place for a girl like me to lay her eggs

FTM PASSING ADVICE

- start wearing typically masculine clothing, like suits with wide shoulders

- people will tell you to not wear pinstripes because it'll make your chest and curves more obvious but think of it as a disguise to throw off their scent, like a zebra. it's urban camouflage

- start callin other men "boss" as a sign of respect

- always make sure to stay safe, keep a switchblade on you or a handgun or something

- consider your diet, work some carbs and fat in there for when T starts workin it's magic. im talkin pasta, pizza, lasagna

- tuck your hair up into a fedora if ya can't cut it

- remember to voice train, if you layer on an accent maybe it'll be less obvious, like a Brooklyn one if you're not already from there

- start snappin your rhythmically and intimidatingly when you find the poor bastard that owes the big man up top that several hundred grand who hasn't paid his dues yet. that'll show em who's the dominant man in the situation

- put a playlist of noir jazz music together and have it playing on your phone in your pocket so it follows you at all times, this is crucial to exuding masculine energy

- don't bind for more than 6-7 hours straight
