Anyway.

Being kind isn't actually about how much shit you can quietly take. You can be kind and still shut down people who attempt to use and manipulate you. Kindness is about treating others well whenever you can, not about how much you're willing to suffer for others. So don't confuse being kind with being a victim and a pushover. No one with your best interests at heart will claim that it's the same thing.

why "do not travel" for Florida? like, i wouldn't ever want to move to Florida but i do vosit family there
you can read the article with the map and she explains it there
something that i noticed in the "substitutes" for 1521 (i use the term loosely, as it's literally all additions) is that it very meticulously defines each and every term, circumstance, and legal minutiae of the purpose of the bill -- except the very reason for the bill's existence.
(2) The Legislature finds that females and males should be provided restrooms and changing facilities for their exclusive use, respective to their sex, in order to maintain public safety, decency, decorum, and privacy.
that's literally it. no attempt to define what is meant by "public safety, decency, decorum, and privacy", anywhere else in the text. it's the only part of this bill that isn't elaborated on.
this entire bill is built on top of a paper thin excuse. i'm sadly unsurprised this went through as it was, but if anyone's going to challenge the bill legally, i would say this is the best angle to take
Folks have got to understand that they probably aren't messed up by some Secret Big Trauma that they just can't remember; but rather by a million tiny microtraumas that they do mostly remember but don't even register as traumatic because nobody actually understood that these things would cause trauma, much less stack on each other over the years.
Whether you're carrying one big rock or a big ol' bucket of sand, it's going to weigh on you just as much.
This is why psychologists have started taking more of an interest in CPTSD in the last 10-15 years. What most people know as PTSD is a response to a single, intensely traumatic event (or even a series of events). However, CPTSD (chronic post-traumatic stress disorder) is caused by living for years in a situation where your nervous system cannot catch a break. Even if nothing huge ever happened to you, you always had to be on guard for a thousand little things that could and did happen.
After years and years of this, your nervous system gets "stuck" in an activated threat response. It never really lets you rest, and if this started when you were a kid, you may not develop a lot of neural pathways that you should have, because your brain was too focused on keeping you safe to bother with little things like "genuine human connection" and "interpersonal attachment."
No lie, Complex PTSD/CPTSD is HUGE.
If you are disabled, if you are queer, if you are chronically ill, if you are the survivor of a toxic but not abusive relationship, if you grew up or lived under the threat of harm but no "actual" harm (or "very little" harm) was done, you may have CPTSD that isn't getting caught because CPTSD looks different from PTSD.
hello everyone!! this is a burner account to share this:
Shared with Dropbox
as photomatt deletes everything, me and a few others are trying our best to compile screenshots to spread the word of the situation. most of the screenshots in the dropbox feature a comment by one of our helpers containing context. if you have any screenshots you'd like to add, please dm me. there is a high chance this account will get banned, so please save this dropbox and the screenshots included and continue to spread the word.
thank you!!
edit: thank you to all the people sharing and reblogging this! please note that this dropbox is being constantly updated (as i type this, files are being processed) so be sure to check in frequently for updates.
edit 2: as this gets more popular, i'm getting more and more worried about the probability of getting banned. to send me screenshots, please feel free to add me on discord (@mit_skies). i'll try to keep everyone updated on there + it'll be easier for me to see and document screenshots.
photomatt did in fact delete everything, so keep circulating the tapes
Guys, stop being crap to creators. You aren’t hurting Amazon. You’re stealing from writers.
This is an extremely frustrating trend to watch happen. Indie writers already work so hard, and there's nothing they can do. Amazon doesn't give a damn, they profit either way.
Please download Libby if you want access to free ebooks that were legitimately purchased by a library. Hurting people like this means they can't afford to write books.

we should hype up bottom surgery more i think. both twitter transphobes and chronically online trans people really like to be disgusted at phalloplasty, vaginoplasty, ext. and i really think we should treat them as cool and sexy and neutral like top surgery scars or whatever
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have to make very sure that we know that every trans person is perfectly fine the way they are without any surgeries.
BUT we also have to respect that people are allowed to get surgeries if they want to.
I like “a girl without a dick is like an angel without wings” because I can’t currently afford bottom surgery and need to feel better about it. I never thought about those implications, it just sounds funny and makes me feel less disgusting
That said I feel bad about that now
really, its all about context. its great that it makes you feel good about yourself! a phrase’s capacity to do good is as equal to its capacity to do bad.
Big survey shows that 94% of transgender Americans who have transitioned are happy with their choice
The National Center for Transgender Equality in the US published the results of a survey of 92,329 transgender Americans.
The survey shows that trans people who come out and start presenting and living as their true selves experience a vast improvement in their quality of life.
On transitioning
The U.S. Transgender Survey (USTS) reports:
Nearly all respondents (94%) who lived at least some of the time in a different gender than the one they were assigned at birth (“gender transition”) reported that they were either “a lot more satisfied” (79%) or “a little more satisfied” (15%) with their life. Three percent (3%) reported that transitioning gender made them “neither more nor less satisfied” with their life, 1% were “a little less satisfied”, and 2% were “a lot less satisfied” with their life.
The claim that a lot of trans people regret transitioning is clearly a lie.
On hormone treatment
Nearly all respondents (98%) receiving hormone treatment reported that this treatment made them either “a lot more satisfied” (84%) or “a little more satisfied” (14%) with their life.
On surgery
The similar numbers for gender-affirming surgery was 88% for "a lot more satisfied" or 9% for "a little more satisfied". Only 2 percent was some shade of "less satisfied".
On identity
Of the 84,170 adult respondents, 38% identified as nonbinary, 35% as transgender women, 25% as transgender men and 2% as crossdressers.
"Crossdresser" as a cultural category is clearly been replaced by terms like nonbinary and people coming out as trans.
Support from families
We are glad to see that the support trans people get from their families is getting better, although not as good as we could have hoped.
36% of adult respondents who said that some or all of their immediate family knew that they were transgender reported their family members were “supportive” of them being transgender, and 31% said they were “very supportive.”
Among 16- and 17-year-old respondents, 27% said their family members were “supportive”, and 17% “very supportive.”
Young people (16-17) are facing the hardest resistance, with 29% reporting unsupportive family members. There is probably a selection bias here, as more of the older trans people who have transitioned have done so because they have gotten support from their families. Many continue to live in the closet out of fear of losing their loved ones. Older trans people are also more likely to have chosen important family members, like their partners, avoiding transphobes in the process.

Homosexuality explained in a German Children’s Book
Ok, two notes: it doesn’t say “my dad and his friend” it says “my dad and his boyfriend”, they’re just the same in German. And it doesn’t say homosexual, it says gay - this is actually still pretty modern language despite the way it looks.
IM CRYINGGGG MY HEART
I’d like to add that it doesn’t say the only way but the nicest way to achieve happiness. Love is not a necessity for happiness, please don’t forget that.
