cis autodrag posted:Yes. Spironolactone is a potassium sparing diuretic. That means your kidneys are working double time but not passing potassium very quickly. This results in potassium buildup in the kidneys if you take in too much too quickly and can lead to renal failure. The biggest risks are salt substitutes and bananas because of their relatively high amount of potassium, but you should really be minimizing intake as much as possible. Also upping your sodium intake because you are losing a lot of it because, again, it's a diuretic. alright. hopefully some chunks in a fruit smoothie won't be a huge issue. i don't have any immediate plans for hrt right now, so i'm not really worried about it myself. it's funny in a way, after i wrote that big long mess i feel a lot better. i just don't know why it took this long.

No poo poo, Sherlock. You thought you were in?"

Trust me, you often make these things bigger in your head than they're ever going to be in real life. i have a big beard and whenever i shave it off i get maybe one or two surprised looks and someone usually asks why and that's it, i doubt people would notice missing peach fuzz

Progressive JPEG posted:as someone who's currently applying for a resident visa with his husband, new zealand is particularly great at this well, like any immigration system you're at the whim of the particular examiner if your country doesn't recognize gay marriage/partnership as to what constitutes evidence of a relationship. also this: quote:Your partner’s character potentially bans anyone from a country with sodomy or other anti-homosexual laws who has been convicted under those laws. it's possible the actual statute is clearer and this summary is just vague, but those are the warning signs for me.

Peeny Cheez posted:I think that section means that any sexual offenses which are also offenses under New Zealand law at the time of application. The compelling interest is to exclude those who are likely to break New Zealand law. Right, but it's vague and vague is bad when you're at the mercy of a humans judgement. If the statute is more specific then it might be fine.

cis autodrag posted:Right, but it's vague and vague is bad when you're at the mercy of a humans judgement. If the statute is more specific then it might be fine. In terms of more details, it looks like they've got this summary, and this chapter of an operations manual for the immigration officers themselves. In the context of this thread, section A5.25 of the manual mentions that a character waiver could be needed if the applicant had been "convicted at any time of any offence of a sexual nature", and there are instructions further down about what would be considered when deciding to issue the waiver (e.g. actual severity of conviction, how long ago it was, whether there are multiple instances). But from looking at the text of Immigration Act 2009 the only mention I see of anything relating to "sex" or "sexual" is an amendment relating to commercial prostitution.

(yes i'm being nitpicky here, they asked if we could find anything wrong with NZ's policy  )
