Happy Rosh Hashanah! Shana tova to everyone celebrating! ๐๐ฏ๐ซ
Comic about trans men in the health care system I made for magazine Ottar last autumn! Please note that it presents a Swedish perspective unless stated otherwise, as it is mostly based on Swedish studies. I would however argue that it has implications on the state of healthcare for trans people in other places as well. Thank you so much Hedvig for translating this!

Me, doing exercise in the past: Okay, this hurts too much now, I think Iโm done for the day
People I did exercise with: No! Push through it! You have to Keep Going!
Me: Why? Iโve been going for a good while, and itโs been hurting for a good while, but I kept going, so I have pushed myself. Which means that I will be stronger next time and able to go further. If I keep pushing myself now, Iโll just be in too much pain and begin to hate this.
Them: I donโt believe you when you say that youโve already pushed yourself, so you have to keep going, otherwise youโre Weak And Bad!
Me: Okay, I hate this, and Iโm gonna just stop forever. (Or at least until something like a pandemic forces me to exercise alone, and I realise that I can actually go at my own pace and still see results.)
An ADHD podcast last week, talking about exercise: And remember not to push yourself! Going at a slower pace to build up muscle is fine, and if you go too fast, youโll associate exercise with pain, and it will make it harder to find the motivation to keep going long-term.

Iโve seen this new trend of girls posting videos like โI hate my boyfriend for bringing all of his stupid boy things into our apartment when we moved in together ๐โ and then pictures of his hot wheels collection or a Halloween skeleton or an extremely cool pirate flag.
