yall realize that forcing trans people into gender roles based on the gender they're transitioning to is still BAD, right? like gender roles don't suddenly become good when you force them on trans people in a "gender affirming way" because gender roles just suck to begin with, yknow that right?

Got some blood work done today because I'd like to get more imaging done. I don't really love that my vet isn't absolutely sure about what is wrong and where. They emailed me the test results so now I'm just waiting for them to call me so we can discuss what the results mean. The 3 that are high seem to be associated with infections from what I can tell.

King is in pain and it's awful to watch. He's staying in good spirits but even with the medication he's not feeling great.

Hey!! Just popping by to warn other paraphiles about this new "movement"! It wants to "unite" paraphiles of all contact stances. They're basically pro-abuse. It's especially important to tell minors to avoid this.

Anti-contact is for anything that would cause non-consensual harm to another being. It is not pro-contact for objectums to date objects because no harm is being done, obviously. This is a pro-contact movement, watering down the stance meanings and trying to deceive others under the guise of "uniting the community". We WILL exclude you because YOU are advocating for HARM. You are why para pride isn't widely accepted. They think we're all like YOU. We're not "uniting" with PREDATORS.

Just something more paraphiles should be wary of!

thanks for the info!

I may be a minor. My brain may not be fully developed. But late teens and early twenties individuals by far are better at accounting for the future than the old people in politics who know they'll die before they have to deal with it or want us to die. You're trying to make me too scared to do what I know I need. It's our choice to get surgery or hormones for what makes our lives better. You live in my shoes before you can make the decision for me.

?????

When did I say minors shouldn't have access to gender affirming care?

Let me make my stance on this absolutely clear: I want minors to have access to hormones and surgery. I believe minors, especially older teens, should have access to hormones and surgery.

If I said something that implied otherwise, that most definitely was not my intention, and I am sorry.

hello! just a note that this blog, while an open space to talk about things, is not a crisis team nor is it staffed by a mental health professional. i will not answer asks if sent in an active mental health crisis due to this.

if you are in active crisis, please contact a hotline for your area. for the USA, i've had great experiences with 988. you can call or text them.

for other countries, here is a place to find hotlines & warmlines.

here is an article about what to expect from the helpline when you reach out.

remember, you are loved more than you know. 💙

Something I've noticed while running @this-is-fatphobia is how often people are unsure of their own experiences, to the point where they're afraid and uncertain that they can call what they've been through "fatphobia"

It's not unique to this blog, however. I've seen it on many of the "this-is" blogs. Dare I say I've seen it on every blog that speaks about oppression and bigotry.

Of course I think asking questions is necessary, and I never want people to stop asking questions and having conversations. There are amazing conversations to be had, and these open the door.

I just find it incredibly sad when someone worries that their experience wasn't "severe enough" to label as hate when often times, these scenarios where people ask are utterly cruel or heartbreaking.

On one hand, if it makes you feel better, do not stop yourself from expressing this doubt. I will always be happy to reassure those of you who aren't sure.

On the other hand, I think it speaks to a bigger issue of people who are facing discrimination feeling as if they don't deserve to talk about it, or as if they cannot be a part of the conversation just because it may be "less severe" than others. There will always be someone who has it worse. It doesn't mean your suffering no longer exists.
