SPACE LESBIANS GONNA COLONISE MARS, MAKE IT A BEAUTIFUL SAPPHIC UTOPIA ❤
its actualy really fascinating, the reason they are considering making the mission to mars all female ACTUALLY doesnt have to do with “impure sexual thoughts” or anyhing it has to do with a multitude of factors, for example (cis) women astronauts tend to be smaller and require less food, nasa also did a series of studies showing that in groups, all woman groups showed better cooperation and teamwork than mixed or all men groups, and also probably the most interesting reason is that (cis) mens eyesight is damaged in space travel for reasons we dont even understand yet, for some strange reason the vast majority of men who have been into space have suffered damage to their eyesight and yet almost no women have had this issue, and scientists are still trying to figure out why but in the meantime sending men into space for long periods of time is a huge concern because they may go blind over time … just thought that that headline was a little reductionist and sensationalist so i had to comment, that being said tho…
HELL YEAH SPACE LESBIANS
SPACE LESBIANS IN SPACE
IN SPAAAAAAAAACE
SPACE! THE LESBIAN FRONTIER!
“These are the gay-ventures of the Starship Lez-terprise”
(note: I am using ‘males’ and ‘females’ below to denote, respectively, people born w/ testicles and people born w/ ovaries)
No, but we have a pretty good idea of what causes the eyesight thing. It’s because males can have polycistic ovarian syndrome, too. Turns out it’s NOT just a disease that affects females, and it’s not just a reproductive organ disease. It’s mostly diagnosed in females because one of the main criteria for diagnosis involves looking at the ovaries.
It turns out, if you send someone with PCOS into space, it’s bad for their eyesight. Females with PCOS don’t go into space because it’s a health condition that prevents them from going. Males with PCOS are almost always undiagnosed because of that “ovarian” part, and because the other symptoms (excessive male hormones in particular) are considered “normal” for them. Or, if the symptoms are noticed, they’re blamed on something else.
Which means, one thing we learned from going to space is that a disease thought to only affect females also affects males, and should definitely remain on the list of “things you can’t go into space if you have”.
