probably the most damning example of tumblrites not actually caring abt the wellbieng of children is how readily they leap at the opportunity to praise institutions like the catholic church for the most benign shit without a seconds thought to the millions of children who have been raped and/or murdered by said institutions. but yea, sure, that random girl online with a kind of icky kink is the real enemy whos the real danger to children lets all cheer for the pope.

Craving soft sleepy sex. Need their entire body weight on top of mine while they kiss my face and the curve of my shoulder, nuzzle and nibble the crook of my neck and our hands are just exploring and trying to bring each other closer <3

this is how they used to have sex back when everyone was smooth down there and when metaphors weighed more than truth or logic

step one: replace entire personality with open, festering wound

step two: contort absolutely all stimuli in my environment to relate to the my wound in some manner, ideally one which justifies random acts of unbridled aggression and vengeance

step three: marry a girl with generational wealth

clinical medicine is simple, basically the way it works is 99.999% of doctors don't know anything at all, so they only treat the 10–15 most common problems in their specialty. this might sound bad, but actually it's better, because 99.999% of patients don't have any complex medical problems anyway, which we know because they've never been diagnosed with anything except the 10–15 most common problems in the relevant specialty, because in order to be evaluated for something else they would have to be referred to one of the 0.001% of doctors who occasionally know something about some other condition, but they can't get that referral because they obviously don't need it because they've only been diagnosed with simple problems that the other 99.999% of doctors evaluate. so as U can see it's really about ensuring every patient gets the best possible care.

i recently read an advice column entry about big breasts that confounded me. (i hate-read trashy columns sometimes lol). a woman wrote in that men she dated objectified her for her large breasts - literally that they treated her "like a pair of tits" in bed and made her very uncomfortable. the columnist replies that her situation is similar to people with exceptionally attractive faces and high status jobs, i.e. they have all have an attribute that others covet and excessively focus on. i was like...WTF...in what world is misogynistic objectification of large breasts the same as those other things... (https://slate.com/advice/2025/05/sex-advice-boobs-dating-reaction.html)

yea this has always driven me fucking insane, i had relatively larger breasts pre transition & as soon as i developed it was abundantly obvious to me that the kind of sexualisation my chest incurred was of a wildly different quality than the type of approval granted to the more waifish feminine ideal lol. people will just lie straight to your face about this like people would straight up tell me it was actually harder to be them with small boobs and i was actually closer to the beauty ideal and i was like ok. im considered obscene for existing braless and literally zero clothing accommodates my proportions and everyone on earth treats my chest specifically as public property and conversational fodder even from an overall position that is in other ways a lot more shielded than many other people get. this is always a problem with politics of 'desirability', lots of very different material positions and social discursive processes getting collapsed together there. but like that's what happens when ppl are stuck on the idea of 'beauty' as an arbitrary set of aesthetic standards rather than as a process of exempting certain people from certain forms of social violence by designating others the morally failing victims

I feel like ik what your answer is going to be but genuinely do you feel like a person with MAJOR hang ups and anxieties and insecurities and maybe even a little trauma surrounding sex would benefit from seeing a sex therapist bc I really don't know who else to be talking to about this stuff but i'm also leaning very anti-psych lately so idrk what my options are to start working through these issues

i think sex therapy CAN be a distinct experience in that its goal is generally not to diagnose a person but to bring their sexuality closer to alignment with what they want it to be. however in general this is still virtually always based to some degree in a normalising impulse (on the part of both the therapist and the client lol) and once you start talking about trauma and such you're back squarely in the psych bucket. i think professionalising advice-giving kind of sucks in general, not because it's transactional (all relationships are) but because it places the client/patient in the role of student, or more often deviant, and privileges the idea of the professional as a fount of objective wisdom and morally necessary healing
