My friend is surrounded by the army
The IOF has given my friend Abed @mohmad5 and his wife @safa-abed seven hours to leave before bombing starts.
They are crouched in the rubble of their former home waiting to die.
The road costs $1000 per person. I have no hope of getting him this without help. Please do what you can for him.

UPDATE:
We collected enough to save Abdul's wife and she is with their son now. Thank you ♥️
We need $1200 for Abdul and his sister, his last remaining family. Please keep sharing. I don't know exactly when the bombing will start but we're at the deadline.

It’s rare to feel happy in northern Gaza. But the other day, my sister Soso made me smile.
It’s not a lie that sugar is expensive. 1kg is $80. Frying oil is $70. That donut was expensive to make, even without the sugar. But it’s okay. Even if it means the adults can’t eat, it’s okay. Soso was happy for a few hours. She’s only 4 years old yet her life is already so hard. She’s not growing properly due to malnutrition and trauma. Her mental health is in shambles, not at all how a child should be. Since birth, two wars have come very close to killing her, so we just want her to be happy.
Please help me make her happy every day. A few days ago, she was the happiest child in the world because she ate an apple for the first time in a year. That won’t happen again because fruits are too expensive, but I swear, she explodes with joy when we buy vegetables too. She is a child with simple dreams.
Please don’t feel hesitant to help me, my campaign has been vetted!

I've been off of my low dose post menopausal testosterone for a month bc the only compounding pharmacy is too far away and I'm too busy and it's fascinating to watch all the health problems that went away on it creep back. It's such solid evidence that yeah, maybe more cis women need T and more cis men need E probably to actually live healthy functional lives but we're so binary and stupid about sex and gender that T is the Man Hormone and E is the Woman Hormone and there's a baseline for cis people??? Insanity. Insane. Absolutely insane.
Off of T, my joint pain is back, my blood pressure is up, I've gained weight, I'm volatile if I don't control myself, I'm constantly an emotional wreck, and I can barely get out of bed. It took me years to get them to let me try T, and they kept arguing that all of those things would get worse ON T. I fucking hate modern medical science modern sex and gender science too bc my queer clinic was shocked to hear all this. Genuinely. They don't get it despite being THE local hormone clinic for queer folks specifically. They don't understand intersex bodies or that maybe our baselines are bullshit on an individual basis. All of modern sex and gender science absolutely ignores the natural sex differences in most people.
How many people get put on the wrong hormone for their wellness? Cis or trans. Because we've assigned hormones to gender. How many cis women deal with worsening body pain and mental issues bc they were put on estrogen when they needed T? Why are we gendering fucking hormones
I've had a billion doctors say the same shit to me. Last time I got my presh checked in-office on T, it was 110/70. Literally as perfect as it can get.
I was misdiagnosed with PCOS, but I have CAH. My blood pressure was critically high for most of my life and I was always told to lose weight. When I say critically, I mean 160/120 nearly every single fucking time. Dangerous. BP meds helped get it to a safer high, and testosterone got it to low-perfect.
I want to strangle every single doctor who nearly killed me by ignoring that critical BP and blaming ME for it. Don't ever let doctors convince you that there's nothing at all they can do on their end. Or that hormones are specifically bad for you in one direction or the other. Estrogen has nearly killed me and since I'm a cis woman, estrogen is supposed to "be the right hormone" to "fix" me. It never was.
On the other end: I'm trans and I'm on Testosterone to accomplish my gender goals like a year ago. I also was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 2.5-3 years ago and it's widely believed there's no treatment options to manage fibromyalgia aside from exercise and muscle relaxers... which is only given in worst case scenarios.
Since starting testosterone? My symptoms have alieviated- not entirely vanished- but I have more energy and control over my life and my pain is far more manageable than when I was initially diagnosed. I relied on a cane around the time of my diagnosis. Now, most days I don't need it since my symptoms have improved and allowed me to improve my health.
I don't think T is the magic cure-all for my disability but holy shit my quality of life has drastically improved.
As someone who had fibro suggested but then got diagnosed with EDS and also still have pain but it's like cut in half? Yeah. I legitimately thought I was on a downward decline to an early grave bc I was so dysfunctional from pain. Now it's manageable.
Also - is it fibro? Is it EDS? Will we ever know the truth? Probably not :)
I really want everyone to know that modern medical science is AWARE that testosterone is an effective treatment for fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions, and estrogen is not. This doesn't work for everyone and exactly how it works isn't quite settled science, but it's been known for like a decade. A LOT of doctors don't know this, because they're not up to date on the research, or are resistant to the idea because of perisexism/cissexism/prejudice against people with mixed sex characteristics in general/a misconception that giving a patient mixed sex characteristics is inherently harmful. BUT. Science, as a whole, knows! and more people should know!
Here's a fibromyalgia-specific review article that I think is well-written and has a non-technical summary of the main points. It should be open-access but let me know if you can't get at the full text.
White HD, Robinson TD. A novel use for testosterone to treat central sensitization of chronic pain in fibromyalgia patients. Int Immunopharmacol. 2015 Aug;27(2):244-8. doi: 10.1016/j.intimp.2015.05.020. Epub 2015 May 21. PMID: 26004314.
This article is TEN YEARS OLD. I'm printing this out and taking it to the gender clinic and stapling it to the nonbinary doctor's forehead that denied my intersex ass T gel because I identity as a woman and it would "make me gain weight and make my blood pressure go up." A nonbinary doctor told me this. A nonbinary doctor denied me fucking hormones that could have been helping me this whole time. A nonbinary doctor led the charge on forcing me to keep taking an antidepressant that was keeping me awake for days straight and making my kidneys hurt.
I'm so fucking mad. Not at the person providing this article - I'm pissed that I waited months on a waiting list to see this nonbinary doctor, hoping they'd be the change I needed, and in the end I had to hunt down a cis OBGYN with PCOS to medicate me properly. I'm sick of intersexism. I know three other local intersex people that this specific doctor has denied care to. Fuck.
Trans intersexism, y'all.
Yeah as a trans man who discovered his intersex status as he transitioned medically- literally everything with my blood pressure and repeated health crashes and chronic illness was almost immediately solved by testosterone, after multiple doctors told me that estrogen was my only solution and my symptoms only getting worse. It's not particularly uncommon to hear stories like this.
When I first found this out I actually asked if trans fems get this in reverse- and a few did say that they did start experiencing health problems on estrogen most commonly labeled as "AFAB problems" like POTS and fibro- but they didn't regret it because it was the right thing to do for their own transition journey.
We need to have intersex and chronic illness considerations when discussing HRT or else we will continue having these cases.
It's just crazy to me. I wouldn't have found out and thought to demand low dose T if I hadn't listened to disabled trans men in my life, and it's damn near impossible for people who identify as women to get their hands on. (It's hard for trans men, too, but the PANIC at a woman wanting T coming from trans doctors was foul.) I know so many women like me with chronic pain issues, and none of them will ever get a chance to try T, and if they did, they'd have all the pressures of "but you'll be an ugly fucking woman and your heart will explode!!!!!"
It's fucked up that hormones are so difficult for trans people to get, but it's also deeply fucked how it's near impossible to get them if your body is showing the need for intersex HRT without being trans in the right direction for that hormone. It frustrates me to no end knowing I wanted desperately to pass as a feminine woman for a long time bc that's my ideal gender presentation, and that's the option that would literally kill me from pain and exhaustion. It's frustrating knowing people CANNOT see bodies that need T as feminine and bodies that need E as masculine, regardless of gender.

Israel receives significant military and financial support from the United States and its allies, including advanced weapons, defense systems, and billions of dollars in annual financial aid.
Despite its isolation among some Arab countries, Israel has succeeded in building alliances with other countries, such as some of the Gulf statesm helping it strengthen its influence in the SWANA region.
Following Israel's deceptive action of breaking the ceasefire, more Palestinians are being murdered by the hundreds.
Please take your time to donate to Ibrahim and Nadeer's campaign, who has to live with constant bombardment from the merciless Zionists.
