It's so difficult to get cis people to understand the jk Rowling thing isn't that she doesn't like us so you should punish her. It's if you give her franchise any kind of support you are contributing to trans people being excluded from society

New technological development! KatCo™ Temp-o-Matic™ 1000 Thermocouple-onna-Stick. I am doing a SCIENCE!!! Inserting the aforementioned device up my roof hole at regular intervals to determine how hot it gets up there. Measuring ~1m above the loft hatch, I put a bit of tape on the stick.

I have never eaten Vegemite. On-line opinion seems divided so I'll just have to try it myself. Instinct suggested a nice high-density brown bread would be good for initial experiments; unsliced so slice thickness could be maximised within the limits of toaster slot dimensions.

A tray, in front of a partially-visible large vintage radio. On the tray is an unopened unsliced store-baked multiseed farmhouse loaf. In front of the bread is an unopened 220g jar of Vegemite. A culinary experiment is about to ensue...

"It is, of course, an extraordinarily effective estrogenic agent, but that is the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known patient*, and so rapidly hypergolic that no induction period has ever been measured..."

A photo of a small vial of Estradiol TrifluorideA section of text from the book Transition! An Informal History of Liquid Gender Affirmants. The text reads... All this sounds fairly academic and innocuous, but when translated into the problem of administering the stuff, the results are horrendous. It is, of course, an extraordinarily effective estrogenic agent, but that is the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known patient*, and so rapidly hypergolic that no induction period has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as syringes, examination tables, cotton wool, and nursing staff, not to mention saline, alcohol, and air. It can be kept in certain fluorinated polymers, provided they are not scratched, flexed, looked at sternly, or otherwise given an excuse to participate. * The only confirmed patient not only survived but lived to a comfortable old age. Throughout life she retained the ability to ignite combustible materials by touch. The medical significance of this observation remains uncertain, but the insurance implications were immediately obvious. She is on record as having ignited cigarettes, upholstery, and, on one occasion, an accountant. Apart from these inconveniences she remained in excellent health, and was generally agreed to have led a happy, if unusually vigorous, life. The cover to Transition!
