Disability will have you thinking shit like โIโm not even that disabled. I can manage as long as I limit myself to very specific careers, never go shopping for more than an hour or two at a time, keep my plans open so I can cancel and stay in if need be, and only go out a few nights per week at the mostโ
I hate howย โdoesnโt have any friendsโ is considered a red flag by enough people it keeps already isolated folks even more isolated whenย โHas many friends but goes through them like napkinsโ is much more frequently a sign somethings a little off
This is especially the case if they talk shit all the time, if they seem to look down on all their past friends, and if they rather vaguely refer to people they used to talk to being crazy or toxic etc etc
very well, i shall smoke this โbowlโ with you. but take warning! henceforth i may become quiteโฆ.. sillyโฆ
Some thoughts on trauma, healing, and self-forgiveness.
not to be happy online but I love the world so much
sorry if this is too happycore but I love seeing the limitless kindness humanity is capable of
To expand on the crumbling of the patriarchal edifice of the family.
If society agrees that children can know themselves, and have a right to self determinationโฆ. Everything else that Conservatives argue they have a right to exert over children crumbles. As just two examplesโฆ.
ALL corporal punishment rightfully becomes recognised for the assault it is.
Failure to appropriately consider the wishes of children in medical care and provide information in an age appropriate way is recognised as child abuse and malpractice.
Children are entire people, they deserve all of the rights, privileges and protections afforded to adults.
Youth liberation is trans liberation.

For anyone who ever asked me where ideas come from. They creep in and breed when youโre making something else.
I just donโt think Meghan has a leg here. She is a princess, no one wants to hear from her on strikes.
Meghan was a working actress for decades. She was a working royal for 18 months. She benefits massively from her show reaching syndication. She stands to lose depending on how Netflix negotiated residuals for Suits with it being out of cable reruns now.
Meghan knows what itโs like to scrimp and scrap for years. She was a working actress doing bit parts her whole 20s!
The fact is that honestly if she didnโt marry Harry, Suits might have been her biggest hit and again residuals would have a huge impact on her. She completely has a leg to stand on joining this fight. Just like she had one speaking up for BLM.
In fact, A-Listers NEED to be using their spotlight to highlight the strike and the working actors who make up the bulk of Hollywood who donโt make millions per movie. Itโs important that people like Meryl Streep or Jennifer Lawrence or Matt Damon or Margot Robbie join the strike. A-list talent walking off set and refusing to take part in press and promo is part of what gives the Union huge bargaining power even if those elite actors are not necessarily hurting financially. But also, a lot of A-Listers also have huge stakes in the fight because itโs also about control of their image and their long term financial profit, too.
Meghan is a producer now with a new production company. If she wants top talent on her productions she needs to be ten toes down in solidarity, too.
Meghan was/is SAG. The Union protected her as a working actress, she can use the outrageous spotlight on her to stand in solidarity and to support working actors.
A lot of people don't seem to know that a bunch of older stars end up in poverty. Fame is fleeting. The glamorous role often doesn't pay as well as you think.
Tales of Angela Landsbury insisting ageing stars get roles on Murder She Wrote so they could retain their medical insurance.
Every worker needs unions. Bit-part workers need A-lister solidarity. Being an A-lister doesn't last forever.
Don't worry, You can trust me with the city budget, just let me in there. Come on, just let me have the budget. I will totally not gut the police budget to build a centralized mass transit network and new libraries. I will definitely not do that, just let me in there please. Come on let me have access to the city budget for 5 minutes. That's all I ask.
I know I've been over this but man HRT is good stuff. I wanna shake the hand of whoever invented it. It's a crime that I don't know who that is actually. They're more important than Einstein
id also been really curious about the history of hrt so i had some tabs open:
The first hrt treatments were mostly estrogen extracted during pregnancies to be used for menopause symptoms, but the first usage of those medicines for trans women is credited to the world's first Trans Clinic, opened in pre-WW2 Germany by Magnus Hirschfield, a gay jewish man.
Oh he looks delightful
Thank you grandpa
The comparasion to Einstein was actually made at the time too! He was commonly refered to as โthe Einstein of sexโ, to which he supposedly once replied that he would rather Einstein be called โthe Hirschfeld of physicsโ lmao
Oh my god
I think people need to stop asking trans people "what gender feels like," because that framing was devised by cisgender psychiatrists and doctors who to try to explain (and maybe even pathologize, invalidate, or trivialize) being transgender. It's not our phrasing.
Because I never "felt" like any specific gender. For me, there is not feeling that is "woman." Or "man" or none of the above either. We have our internal sense of self, but you can't boil it down to a general "woman" feeling.
I have a better way:
Imagine you are one day transported into a someone you don't know's body. They don't even have to be a different gender than you, just anyone you don't know.
Imagine how it feels to open your mouth and someone else's voice comes out. Imagine how it feels to look in the mirror and see a stranger staring back at you. Imagine feeling like the body you're in doesn't match how you know internally it should be, and I don't just mean sexual anatomy. I mean height and limb proportions among other things, too. Imagine feeling like the very blood in your veins feels wrong. Would you want to find a way to correct this mistake in any way you could? What if you were stuck and the only options given to you are expensive medicine and surgery and require years of psychiatric care just to be able to start to access it?
Now, imagine being told you're wrong or crazy for trying to tell the world what's going on with you. Imagine being pathologized and given therapy to convince you that you aren't actually you but this stranger. Imagine that state governments across the country and globe are specifically legislating your rights away because your existence disgusts them. Imagine living in fear of even walking down the street, even in your own neighborhood, because people have been trained to want to hurt you for living as you know you are. Imagine entire social movements and Internet shows dedicated to mocking and harassing you and people like you.
Now, think about how you would feel. Would you feel good? Would you be brave enough to face the world every day while doing this? I doubt it.
But, y'know, that's just my experience. The beauty of being trans, and human experience in general, is that it's all different. That's why I scoff at the term "trans ideology" because none of us can even agree on what being trans is! Ask ten trans people on what being trans is like and you'll get 10 different answers. You think we're that cohesive and organized? A bit of "tell me you've never met a trans person without telling me you've never met a trans person," y'know? What binds us, really, is the people that hate us more than anything else.
Anyway, I think it's time trans people reclaim our own narrative. It's way past time.
Pride history posts on here seem almost exclusively to revolve around Stonewall which can leave the impression that America is the only place where anything important ever happened and obviously is not true so I have compiled a few links where you can learn about LGBTQ history in other countries!

I see youโre trapped in my gay and stupid maze again
As someone recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, one thing thatโs been helping me grapple with the intense shame I have over all my โwasted potentialโ is accepting that potential doesnโt exist and never did.
This sounds so harsh, but please bare with me.
I procrastinated a lot growing up. I still procrastinate today, but less so. And yet, I got good grades. I could write an A+ paper that โknocked [my professor]โs socks offโ in the hour before class and print it with sweat running down my face.
I was so used to hearing from teachers and family that if I just didnโt procrastinate and worked all the time, I could do anything! I had all this potential I wasnโt living up to!
And thatโs true, as far as it goes, but thatโs like saying if Usain Bolt just kept going he could be the fastest marathon runner in the world. Why does he stop at the end of the race??
If ANYONE could make their top speed/most productive setting the one they used all the time, anyone could do anything. But you canโt. Your top speed is not a speed youโre able to sustain.
Now, Iโve found that I do need to work on not procrastinating. Not because the product is better, even, but because itโs better for my mental health and physical health to not have a full, sweating, panicked breakdown over every task even if the task itself turns out excellently. Itโs a shitty way to live! You feel bad ALL the time! And I donโt deserve to live like that anymore.
So all of this to say, Iโm not wasting a ton of potential. I donโt have an ocean of productivity and accomplishments inside of me that I could easily, effortlessly access if I just sat down 8 hours a day and worked. Thereโs no fucking way. Thatโs not real. Itโs an illusion. Itโs fine not to live up to an illusion.
And if you have ADHD, I mean this from the bottom of my heart: you do not have limitless potential confounded by your laziness. You have the good potential of a good person, and you can access it with practice and work, but do not accept the story that you are choosing not to be all that you are or can be. You are just a human person.
