@dyspunk-by-nightlight
just to make it explicitly clear, the nightlight coven is pro-endo. we are not interested in debating about it. this blog, and all of our personal blogs, are radically inclusive. again, this is not something we want to debate. this is just to make sure anyone who is uncomfortable with pro-endo content can be forewarned

Made this a while ago but I want to show it off
Iām very proud of this design ngl, one of my favorites Iāve come up with. And yes, you are free to borrow it if you so desire
everyone, no matter how high their support needs are, deserves to have the autonomy to make decisions for themselves. this includes the decision to say "i don't feel comfortable making these decisions, i want this person to do it for me."
but that isn't real autonomy unless they can also retract that at any time, or switch the person whenever they want, for any reason. this is why legal conservatorship is bad even for high support needs disabled people who want support folks to make decisions for them. it's a legal role that overrides anything the disabled person says from then on, including if they say they don't want anyone in that role anymore. it's used to abuse more often than it's used to help, because it removes all autonomy from the disabled person.
there should never be anything forcing us to have intimate relationships with anyone we don't want to have that relationship with. if we have an ugly fight with our support person, or they start abusing us, or they start making decisions for us that we don't like or want, we deserve to be able to cut that relationship off and not be under that person's power. the way conservatorship and legal guardianship are set up is the exact opposite of this, and so they are universally bad for disabled people, even the ones who need the kind of support that is tied to them.
even people who have a "good" conservator or guardian are affected by this, because if that person starts abusing them in the future, they won't be able to leave. a truly kind and supportive structure for high support needs disabled folks would be something like a legal chosen family structure: people you can designate as able to make legal and medical decisions for you, and who can complete forms and contracts on your behalf, but who don't have the power to override you if you say "no."
I really think that more cis women should know a lil testosterone could massively help POTS symptoms and they should be able to get it as a treatment if they wanna
And also endometriosis. Currently there's no cure or management but do you know what cures and manages it? Testosterone
Oh shit true! That's another thing we probably have that has become way less of a problem since starting T

Testosterone can also help with hypermobility disorders like EDS and HSD
On anon but. I'm someone who has detransitioned. I just want to say that, I was on HRT for about a year. It changed my body in ways that I absolutely love. I have a deep voice, and sharper features, and I have new perspective on my identity and how it interacts with the world. Being trans is a journey. From when I was five up to when I was 17, I fullheartedly believed I was a boy. I was, in that moment. But now, I'm a girl, too. I feel better as a girl - prettier, comfortable. But when I was a boy, I felt good too - in that moment, I was handsome, and I felt so so strong. It's not as scary as it seems. People ebb and flow and change. You can be what you want to be, and if ultimately you want to go back? You can. Just don't discount your experience as a mistake. In the moment it felt right. In the present is what matters.. You'll reflect on it, and maybe you won't ever change. Maybe it'll be what sticks. And that's a lovely thing in and of itself. You will find the you that fits. You will become someone you love by letting yourself express. I promise. Holding back will just mute everything that makes you, you - don't feel like you need to medically transition, either. It was right for me, but research is key, in all things. You'll be beautiful no matter what. Your experiences will shape you - as long as you allow yourself the freedom of expression. I promise.
this is so beautiful. the word detransition does seem to have a negative connotation in certain spaces and im really happy to hear u sharing your positive experience.
its so important to stress that you can simply try it. and if it isnt for you, you can stop.
love when people just say the most heinous shit (trans black men have privilege for being able to pass as men and should consider police violence "affirming") without thinking critically for 0.2 seconds and then freak out when you tell them what they've actually said. like maybe you didn't mean it's a good thing a black man faces more police violence because he's perceived as a man, but like. that's on you to recognize before you start spouting atrocious levels of racism lmfao. you may not have meant that but that is what you said, so you're being called out the way you deserve. like. these ppl say these things and then get upset when they're called out all while refusing to do even a little bit of work to understand why what they're saying is horrific.
SERIOUSLY. and like. white ppl will come into discussions abt anti black racism that black trans men face and be like "well you still have privilege over black women!!!!!!!!!!!!!" when 1. that's situational not systemic, 2. that's not what the fuck we were talking about, and 3. it's not your fucking place as a white person to be like "UMMM WELL ACKSHUALLY" when a black person is talking abt their experiences with oppression bc guess what buddy! at least in places like america, if you are not black then you very likely have systemic privilege over black people! yes, even if you're a woman and he's a man! yes, even if you're trans and they're not! because contrary to white ppl's belief, being trans or a woman actually does not magically poof away ur white privilege!
Being an ADHD adult is fun when people seem to get... personally offended when you are aware that you've failed, forgotten, or neglected something before, and plan your life with that awareness in mind. Like how does that work, that being able to plan and prepare for things not working out as intended is mature and responsible, acknowledging your own faults and flaws is mature and responsible, but somehow it's childish and immature to acknowledge that you are the liability in every situation, and prepare accordingly?
Like they'll look at you like you just called their dog a slur and just go "don't just already assume that you're going to [have a symptom], just don't [have the symptom] in the first place!" Like oh shit right damn. Titanic only sank because of the lifeboats. If there had been zero lifeboats on the ship, the crew would have been more motivated to do their jobs perfectly and everything would have been fine. Failsafe plans are demons that summon failure, the only sensible thing is to only plan for perfection and naturally assume that everything can only go flawlessly.
Like bruh.
consider this: wheelchairs should be free
Consider this: if you need it to live it should be affordable

Hereās some positivity for systems, alters, and headmates who donāt want DID!
Dealing with a complex dissociative disorder can be terrifying, isolating, frustrating, and can often feel hopeless. It can be challenging coming to terms with a trauma history, amnesia, identity confusion, the presence of alters or parts, and many of the challenging symptoms that accompany this disorder. Hereās to all the systems out there who donāt want DID!
š Shoutout to systems who are still trying to come to terms with a recent DID diagnosis!
š Shoutout to systems who suspect they may have DID, but ultimately hope they donāt!
š Shoutout to systems without DID who are vocal about the different ways plurality manifests and have to explain that theyāre not āpretending to have a disorder!ā
š Shoutout to individual alters in DID systems who tend to deny the diagnosis, or struggling to grapple with the diagnosis more than the rest of their system!
š Shoutout to DID systems who are often exhausted, anxious, upset, and confused!
š Shoutout to DID systems who donāt want or are unable to obtain a professional diagnosis!
š Shoutout to those with DID who are ashamed of their diagnosis, and fear it will lead to them losing opportunities in the future!
š Shoutout to DID systems who keep their mental health information private and are not open about their systems online or in physical spaces!
š Shoutout to DID systems who struggle to find community even with other systems, or even among other trauma survivors!
š Shoutout to systems who are tired of being seen as dangerous or a criminal simply for having a stigmatized dissociative disorder thatās outside of their control!
š Shoutout to DID systems who have learned to mask their disorder well in order to avoid nosy questions or tricky situations!
š Shoutout to DID systems who lament their diagnosis, who mourn their stolen childhoods, and who wish for a life without the debilitating symptoms that accompany DID!
š Shoutout to systems who suspect they have DID, but are too scared to bring it up in therapy or seek effective treatment!
Those who live with dissociative disorders deserve to be understood and accepted in their spaces, regardless of how they view their disorders. Itās okay to not want a dissociative disorder, or to grow depressed after receiving a diagnosis. Living with DID is hard, but thereās still hope for those of us who struggle with this disorder!
We hope that your whole system can find peace, recovery, and self-acceptance in your future. We know it wonāt happen overnight, but hopefully with time, patience, and lots of support, you can come to love yourself and your system as you are, with or without DID. Remember weāre rooting for you and we wish you the very best! Thanks for reading, and take care!

its kind of frustrating, nothing seems to help. the anxiety is always too much to bear. i adjusted my thinking, no more talking down about myself, i say and think all the right things. i did the therapy and learned the tricks, im not ashamed of doing them in public (though i am still scared sometimes because looking crazy in public can get you killed). i take my meds every day. and still everything always hurts. i can't make the fucking phone call or go to the appointment or go to the store or work or anything. and even if i force myself to do it, and i do it right and well, there's no relief. it hurts just as much after its done as it did before. the only thing that helps is getting high and i can't stay high
Plurals that dissociate to deal with chronic pain, I see u and I hope you're doing well + that your symptoms are as manageable as possible in the coming days. Take care
it never occurred to me that non-original host is like, A Thing. like oh thats me, im like a combination of a bunch of alters and previous hosts. i never know how to like, describe past memories or things parts of me remember. its weird to think about
