The title is a bit misleading. This study isn’t evidence that gender affirmative care causes suicide. Trans people have a higher rates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts than the general population. Therefore you’d expect that people who seek gender affirmative care would be at a higher risk than the general population

If the study was comparing people who got gender affirmative care vs people who didn’t but were also trans then it would be more illustrative of the effects of gander affirmative care (although I expect the effects would be positive, not negative, as it should lessen never dysphoria in most people seeking it out)

Nothing against the people conducting the study but I don’t think this is saying what this community wants to believe it’s saying

Tradeoff is dark colors absorb more UV so it provides better protection from the sun

Skincancer.org is my source for darker colors being better protection

I don’t have the highest degree of confidence in it but it makes sense to me that absorption matters more than reflection because a lot of the reflected UV will be going through the shirt and onto your skin

That’s why materials like linen aren’t as good for UV protection. They’re light weaves and let a lot of light through, still

If this plays like wish it means you have to put the blue eyes white dragon in your sideboard in order to play it during competitive play

Of course this card would be allowed in competitive play but I think the idea of putting a blue eyes white dragon in your sideboard is very funny
