This site has been going around Twitter trans accounts quite a bit lately, so just pointing out here too that it'll do fuck all, they're exploiting trans people at a time when hrt is particularly hard to access and please don't give them your money

No actually, this needs to be in the body of the post.

This isn't someone looking to make a quick buck off the backs of desperate trans women.

This is someone who is gathering a hit list. This person may use your info for active swatting, but not just that, this product will kill you.

This product is outright dangerous. This dose of ashwagandha is ASTRONOMICAL. It's anxiolytic - meaning that it causes agitation and anxiety - and if you take this dose every day you'll be developing serotonin syndrome within 4-6 weeks, and an ER trip/death within 8. And if you're on medications that interact (SSRIs, antipsychotics, most kinds of opiates) or alcohol, this risk is magnified.

This person wants to KILL YOU.

Also the photo they're using for the founder is AI generated. The easiest tell is the neck tattoo seemingly merging with the collar of the shirt, and none of the locs actually having an end that connects them to the scalp.

There's a terf in the comments screeding about how this totally isn't a rightwing psyop and it's asian fetishizing trans ppl obsessed with anime doing this, so here's some irrefutable proof that it is, in fact, a right-wing dox honeypot!

If you go to any post by TheQueerQuirk on Twitter and replace the username part of the url with transaretr8ors it will redirect you to the same tweet with the new username, indicating that TheQueerQuirk's old username WAS in fact transaretr8ors. You can test this yourself.

They're also stealing images from r/transtimelines for fake reviews.

Their domain name was registered on June 2 and the address marked is a common scam address (seemingly of the Icelandic Phallological Museum).

THIS IS A HONEYPOT. THEY'RE COLLECTING ADDRESSES. YOU COULD BE SWATTED, HAVE YOUR IDENTITY STOLEN, OR AT THE VERY BEST RECEIVE A PRODUCT THAT WILL CAUSE SEROTONIN SYNDROME.

SPREAD.

What are coelecanths for those of us who dont know and find it way more entertaing to ask a tumblr blog instead of googling it? Sorry if youve done this one already (you probably have)

OH SNAP TIME FOR AN INFODUMP

Coelacanths are a species of fish that live in two places: the West Indian Ocean, especially along South Africa, and Indonesia. And they live deep down in the water, but not deep enough, so trawler fishermen occasionally snag one.

And that’s how we found out they existed, because a fisherman picked one up, and was like “goddamn this is a weird looking fish” and called up his museum curator buddy Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer. She was like “omg weird fish, I love it” and started trying to figure out what branch of fish it was from and that…

That’s when it gets funky.

Because, see, these fish, they are OLD. They are OLD AS BALLS.

Not individually (although they could be, there are some debates on that), but evolutionarily. Like, we can trace human ancestors back pretty far, and we know where all our recent ones were and they’re not that old.

A coelacanth? Its last ancestor was over 150 million years ago. As far as the fossil record goes, it has not evolved since then.

When Marjorie looked at the sample her fisherman buddy gave her, she was like “dude. This fish is a FOSSIL. I have only seen fish like this IN ROCKS.”

Coelacanths spend so much time down in dark deep cold water that they just haven’t bothered to evolve. They’re like “we’re good here, this is awesome, hey check it out, a cuttlefish, that’s good eating.”

And that’s why they’re so fucking cool. This ancient-ass fish have just been chilling out for literal millennia, letting the world pass them by, not evolving, just perfectly happy where they are. And now we get to see them and be like “y'all rock.”

and for an additional fun fact: not only are coelocanths evolutionarily extremely old, they also represent one of the last extant members of lobe-finned fishes (the only other being the lungfish).

these fish are notable for being the ancestors of all tetrapods! everything from geckos to eagles to rats to humans is an evolutionary descendent of lobe finned fishes. so coelocanths represent the last remnants of an evolutionary group that ended up changing the world forever and letting us exist at all!

coelocanths really are amazing creatures

(i recommend checking out lungfish too if youre interested in coelocanths, they breathe air and are cool as fuck)
