efforts towards a "positive vision of masculinity" or whatever are so funny because what these guys are trying to figure out is literally "what's a way of being a good person that's Not For Girls™"

as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.

i have a secret third opinion about self dx discourse which is “why are you guys treating the DSM like it’s the fucking bible”

[literallyaflame]

the amount of leftists who uncritically support the DSM-5—wielding it online in battles against random individuals who might be “faking” a disorder—boggles my fucking mind. you guys realize that the DSM-5 isn’t the only diagnostic manual on the planet, right? you realize that we place it at the top of the global hierarchy because it’s american, right? has it occurred to you that the APA shouldn’t have so much authority over what counts as a “real” mental illness? has it occurred to you that perhaps there are other diagnostic manuals? in fact, there are dimensional models that don’t rely on sorting individuals into “disorder/no disorder” boxes in the first place. food for thought, lmao

agab isn't a thing you are, its a thing you were

'assigned' is past tense. it was an event, coercive, forced without your approval because you were only minutes old. its not a label, its not an identity

"i am afab" no, you WERE afab. you ARE whatever gender you currently are. stop identifying with an event forced upon you at birth, even if you are cis.

Plus, there is no such thing as an AMAB or an AFAB body

there is something very sad and humiliating about having to desperately beg doctors and family members to understand that involuntary institutionalization does not in fact help your mental health, knowing your perspective will always be dismissed at the end of the day

it's such an awful existence to be a psychiatric patient as a teenager, there has to be another way to help aggressively suicidal teenagers, such as addressing the circumstances that make them want to die so much in the first place! you can stop suicide by locking someone up, sure, but they will not want to live

[doe-eyed-disaster]

it's awful that researchers are only now starting to take this perspective seriously, but there is a small but growing body of study supporting exactly what patients have been saying about psychiatric incarceration. one study in particular, from Allegheny county in Pennsylvania, offers a damning analysis of involuntary psychiatric commitments:

For individuals whose cases are judgment calls, where some physicians would hospitalize but others would not, we find that hospitalization nearly doubles both the probability of dying by suicide or overdose and also nearly doubles the probability of being charged with a violent crime in the three months after evaluation. We provide evidence of earnings and housing disruptions as potential mechanisms. Our results suggest that, on the margin, the system we study is not achieving the intended effects of the policy.

Trump's HHS abandons threat to withhold Medicare and Medicaid funding over trans care

NPR has learned that the Department of Health and Human Services will not be finalizing its most aggressive attempt to end gender-affirming

Some ok news for once. Seems HHS is backing off their most recent attempt at a national care ban for trans kids due to the massive legal hurdles it would have faced. This does not mean other ongoing efforts to target care providers and orgs like WPATH aren't still ongoing and still a major concern, but it is good to see that we won't have to fight this specific battle (a proposed and now discarded rule that would have attempted to deny Medicaid and Medicare funding and coverage at any hospital that provides gender affirming care for youth)
