i just have to say i really appreciate them wording it like "biological females", "people born female", "people who get periods", "people who get pregnant", etc. 💙♥️🤍♥️💙
Thanks for mentioning endometriosis! It affects 1 in 10 menstruaters yet we learn nothing about it in school! I never even heard the word endometriosis until 2 years ago and turns out most of the afab people on one side of my family have it. I’ve been struggling with this awful disease for over a decade and never knew what was wrong with me!
Maybe a follow up on the development of the male hormonal birth control, there have been a few in development and some I think were stopped due to the emotional side affects that are so common in the female hormonal birth control methods, could be a good discussion with people who menstruate, not sure if there will many studies or much trail information available though
So excited for this episode! I sent an email about this a while ago asking for you guys to discuss it and I’m so glad you have! ❤️ Edit: Also as an Irish person I’m glad to hear that I have even MORE reasons to hate Margaret Thatcher
@Jackson Smith my secondary school had it in year 9 as part of a big unit that went into topics such as drug use (as well as how exactly drugs and alcohol affect the body and the brain), sex, gender identity, and gender expression, as well as the usual sex ed, which included things such as in-depth male and female reproductive anatomy, the period cycle, a whole lot of different types of contraceptives and birth control, and std's and std prevention
The morning after pill does NOT end ("flush out") a pregnancy that has started it simply prevents ovulation so that there is no egg to be fertilised by sperm that has entered the body. This is why it might not work if you take it during or recently after ovulation, and why you have to take it within a certain time span. This is very important!!
Lily from what I know from taking it it doesn’t t prevent ovulation it delays it. So the sperm have nothing to attach to before they die so conception doesn’t occur 😌 x
Hey, thanks for your comment, this is partly true! The morning after pill can work in 3 ways. Either by temporarily stopping the egg from being released from the ovary, stopping eggs from being fertilised by sperm, or stopping the fertilised egg from implanting in the uterine wall. In the case of the latter, one could say that this terminates a pregnancy that has started, since the egg has already been fertilised.
Sci Guys while yes this is technically true, I believe that typically a person would not be considered pregnant unless the fertilized egg actually implants no?
I actually took it because I had cysts. I had a large cyst removed and had to stop the pill because it was causing issues with my thyroid, which was already a problem. I got more acne now in my 20s than I ever did as a 12-18 year old but I’d rather have that then the other issues
There was a trial recently (as in, in the past few years or so) that was relatively well publicized for the pill for men. However, the trials were discontinued due to the severe side effects. Not saying they were wrong to do so, the side effects were quite severe, but the list of side effects was very similar to the list of side effects the pill for women has. There were a lot of jokes about men not being able to deal with something a large group of women are more or less obligated to deal with. It was a great example of how the medical world is biased in favour of men, side effects for women being deemed acceptable, but as soon as men have to deal with them the side effects are too severe and the whole trial is scrapped.
The thing is that just because the side effects are the same, it doesn't mean they are not as severe. Everyone references this one trial that supposedly worked "perfectly" but with "some minor side effects", even though the percentage of men experiencing severe side effects was as high as 3x the occurence with women taking the pill, there was one unaliving oneself attempt and several men did not regain their fertility within a year after quitting the birth control. So yeah.
With the DID convo, it’s sooo amazing; they did testing on those with different personalities where certain personalities within the same subject differed physiologically, e.g. there was a case where one personality was diabetic and another wasn’t within the SAME BODY, or one had asthma or an allergy and the others didn’t. Abso-fucking-lutely fascinating. Are we real? Are we just mind simulations?!? 😆
Re: syncing up. If people really believe it, the placebo effect can make it happen. Like Luke said he read that people were given a placebo and told it would delay their period and it did
You say you don't think they were on it long enough for depression to really show but I'm not convinced about that. I can't take the combined oral contraceptive pill so tried the progesterone only type(and by the sounds of it that is nearer to what was originally being tried), I was feeling suicidal within about 3 days of taking it and so quickly stopped taking it, so unless they were only taking it for a couple of days there would have been plenty of time for depression to potentially show.
@@saulcontrerasOfficial it was a joke, not ment to be taken seriously, i think it was said in the podcast at one point im not too sure tho cause i watched it 7 months ago
I don't really feel comfortable with how yall used "females" here. The term feels a little objectifying, and I don't think it's really more accurate than "women". That is, unless you want to imply that the bodies of trans men are closer to those of cis women than those of cis men. I know that's not your intention.
Women would be incorrect here as not all women are fertile or have ovaries & a uterus - even looking past trans people. Additionally not everyone with said biology is a woman - they could be intersex, nonbinary, or a trans man… We’re not implying the bodies of trans men overall are more similar to cis women, but many trans men have a uterus & ovaries etc. Many trans men still use contraception in the form of birth control pills, etc. Saying “women” here would actually further imply that trans men are closer to cis women, as we wouldn’t be making any delineation between them.
@@SciGuys yeah, I know women isn't the correct term here. I'm just saying females isn't much better. You said it much more accurately when you said things like "people born female", "people who get periods" or "people who get pregnant".

the sex ed at my australian school is so good that we even learnt how pregnancy pills work
idk what the purpose of this comment was lol
Wow. We barely learned anything.
@Jackson Smith my secondary school had it in year 9 as part of a big unit that went into topics such as drug use (as well as how exactly drugs and alcohol affect the body and the brain), sex, gender identity, and gender expression, as well as the usual sex ed, which included things such as in-depth male and female reproductive anatomy, the period cycle, a whole lot of different types of contraceptives and birth control, and std's and std prevention
@Jackson Smith worst case you can just use my comment to give you an idea of what things to google
Best part of the week
Such an excellent episode! Also Bliss has a delightful presence :)
She’s blissful

What about a eugenics experiment to make a race of people who have longer childhoods and live longer?
apparently males hormones fluctuate daily (so like a length of a "cycle" is a day)
don't forget stnb!
Skateboarders always have one bad shoe lol
Actually UCL invented eugenics lol...
