Always look on the bright side of life

On the light side, don't tell me I never said anything nice about homeless people.

And in other alphabet community news, it turns out (surprise to me at least) that hormones administered to transgender patients--testosterone for FTM and estrogen for MTF--greatly increase the risk of heart disease.  I anticipated that testosterone would increase heart disease risk among those born female, but had thought that estrogen protected its bearer from the same.  Evidently, though, each biological sex has its own set point and design, and disrupting that design has deleterious effects.  Go figure.

One of our older local bars has had to close down at midnight for the last year for the same reason. You just don't want to be there - even at a BAR - after that hour.
