you guys hate schizo-spec people so much and it fuckin shows

[kamlo]

literally like. i have mutuals putting this fuckin post on my dash

and its like wow what is so funny about triggering someone who explicitly said they struggle with extreme paranoia and asked for basic consideration? like. how do you talk about your schizo-spec friends when they're not in the room? why are we always the laughing stock?

you guys ~support mentally ill people~ until it's someone whose delusion is just a little too "out there" then it's lets laugh at how dumb this person is hahaha can you believe someone could be so ridiculous hahahaha. like.

and i knoooow im gonna get people commenting about how we're Just Too Sensitive and that's exactly what im fuckin talking about!!! what is so funny to you about someone who genuinely struggles to keep touch with reality? what is so funny to you about a schizo-spec person asking for basic consideration in your interactions with them?

and its so frustrating having to see this shit every single day and knowing exactly how my friends would talk about me when im not around if i was more open about my symptoms. you Very likely have schizo-spec people in your life who will never tell you because we absolutely see how you talk about us and what you think of us

i know this isnt the most coherent post but im so serious when i say please examine why you think of us this way and why you think it's funny

ok to reblog but if youre not schizo-spec do not comment on this post

Marsha P. Johnson

One of the leaders of the LGBT+ movement in America, she was known not only for her strength and bravery as an activist, but also for her boundless generosity. If you complimented an accessory of hers, she’d give it to you.

I am just scrolling but then I see stuff like this,,, damn and then I just imagine I finally had top surgery and could just walk around in this over a fishnet top :( That'd be so goals but I have to wait for years

[v0mitratb0y]

I had my legal name and gender changed a few days ago and I wanted to share how I feel and how it affects me.

It feels like something so big but also something just so small at the same time. It feels great, yet so unbelievable. I can't even realize. It's incredible just to imagine my following life. Now I can just live without extras and exceptions and just be me. No confusion, no explainations, no corrections, no misgendering. I love it, I could cry rn.

You haven’t done anything wrong if someone catches feelings for you and you can’t reciprocate. You never owe someone else romantic feelings.

[v0mitratb0y]

dysphoria is such a fucking hell and I can't get out of it currently. I feel so horrible. This isn't me, I can't believe it actually is. I hate it but I can't escape. No matter how I dress up I look like a stupid fucking 12 year old or some lesbian to everybody, just not like a man. I hate this body, why was it given to me? I can't express myself how I want to, I can't even feel okay.

Cop’s name is Philip Brailsford

He shot Shaver 5 times in the chest when Shaver, while crawling on all fours towards the officers, reached to pull his shorts up

Shaver was unarmed during the encounter, crying, and desperately begging for his life. In the official police report, Brailsford claimed he believed Shaver was crawling towards the police to put himself in a better position to shoot them, despite Shaver initially begging to be handcuffed while he was laying down to lower the risks of being shot. It was only after police ordered him to crawl towards them that Shaver began crawling

The dustcover of the rifle Brailsford used to kill Shaver was engraved with the words “You’re Fucked”. The judge decided this was inadmissible as evidence, despite prosecutors arguing it was a clear indicator of his mindset at the time of the shooting

Brailsford was found not guilty on the charge of second degree murder two years after the incident, and reinstated to the Mesa Police Department. This reinstatement was for the sole purpose of allowing Brailsford to apply for work-related disability (PTSD), at which point he was granted early retirement from the force with a 2.5k a month pension

Every. Single. Cop. Is. A. Bastard. They are either murderers or they are enablers. There is no such thing as a good, or even a decent, cop

“True love is what it means to be human” shut up lmao

You know what non-human animals don’t do? Cook their food. Cooking is what makes us human. Go fuck yourself.

[asterosian]

“True love is the most important thing in the world”

I’m sorry, how the fuck am I gonna eat romance? Really, I’d love to know. Not only would that make it useful for my aromantic ass, but it would mean we can use it as food and therefore not die of starvation.

Can you breathe it? No? Then how is it more important than oxygen? If you had romantic love and not air, will you live?

Is it a drinkable liquid? Cause I can live for one hundred years without ever falling in love, but I’ll die in a matter of days if I don’t have some source of water.

Can I make a house with it? Can I wear it? Can it fix my mental health problems?

No? I can’t do any of that shit with it? Then why the fuck is it more important than any of the things that I actually need to live? Why is it so important that everyone expects me to want it and involve myself in it whether I like it or not? Why is it so important that I can’t complain when it’s shoved down my throat? Why is it so important that I’m not allowed to point out that you NEVER mean just any kind of love when you talk about love in general, lest you accuse me of being the one to see that in your words where you totally didn’t mean that (except your wording clearly shows otherwise) and “omg aren’t aros so whiny”? Why is it so important that everyone treats every other form of love as lesser and then pretend they don’t when anyone points it out?

I feel like allo aros in particular have been demonized and hurt by amatonormativity. wanting sex without romance makes you heartless, a player, just overall a bad person according to most people. they’re told they can’t do anything even remotely sexual unless they’re in a relationship or there’s romantic intention behind it. this of course leads to a lot of allo aros feeling bad for wanting to have sex without being in a relationship or feeling that romantic attraction. 

to allo aros: You’re not a bad person, you’re not using people, and your orientation is not bad. wanting sex or experiencing sexual attraction without experiencing romantic attraction (or experiencing different levels of romantic attraction in the case of arospecs) is valid, whether you want a relationship or not.

Voidpunk as a concept is absolutely fascinating to me. 

For centuries certain groups have been labeled as “subhuman” or “un-human” for one characteristic or another and for centuries those groups have yelled back “no we’re not!” and fought tooth and nail to be seen as wholly human. But now there’s a whole sub-community of people from these groups turning around and saying without a trace of irony “Sure, I’m not human, what of it?”

And honestly? Whether it’s intentional or not, that mindset almost does a better job of humanizing these marginalized groups then the insistence that they’re human does. When people try to deny you of your humanity it’s because they know you are human and they know that denying that hurts you. So When you instead chose to own that lack of humanity it rips away the power of dehumanization and the people trying to hurt you are basically left having to argue you into believing that you’re human before they’re able to do harm. And while doing this arguing they will always, always disprove their reasoning for why you’re not human in the first place. In a sense, voidpunk uses the bigot’s arguments against them.    

That’s what makes the whole concept of voidpunk so unbelievably radical in my mind. It totally switches the dialog.

I don’t really consider myself to be voidpunk, but I love the concept and I love watching that community grow. It’s amazing to see and I can’t wait to see what people do with it.

Ok so I finally wanna talk about safe binding, partly because I recently saw a lot glorification of unsafe binding and people are acting like them binding not safely makes them more valid “because it shows how much dysphoria they have and everyone who doesn’t is a trender”, because I have friends friends who don’t take care of themself at all, which really worries me, and also because I myself have experiences with unsafe binding and feel like many people who bind aren’t really educated about this. And now I wanna talk about this shit. Because it sucks and I hate it.

The first time I was binding or rather tried to, I did after I saw a trans guy in a scripted reality show who was binding with ace bandages. This was before I even really realized I was trans. But I started searching for bandages we had in our house. (Happily) it weren’t ace bandages, but it still fucking hurt and I couldn’t move or breath right. But I didn’t know that it was unhealthy or that there are better ways to bind, so I didn’t care.

I also tried out binding with KT tape after being in a whatsapp group for trans guys, where a lot of them were using it. It wasn’t good at all. The tape were feeling off, sticked on my clothes, it really hurt to take it off, I was bleeding sometimes, my chest was completely numb but also ichy afterwards, and I had red stripes on my skin from it. Horrible tbh. Don’t try this out.

In the late spring of 2017 I started binding with a low quality binder from amazon. I didn’t have any idea of what’s healthy and what’s not. I was wearing my binder 24/7, even when sleeping or training without any pauses. I literally couldn’t breath anymore. When I took it off, my chest was numb but it also really hurted.

When I finally got a gc2b binder, I also started binding a little bit more safely because I realized I didn’t at all before. Thank god for this card gc2b sent with the binder.

(Sorry for the paint on it)

i am still binding way too long and I know it’s not healthy tho. I also know a lot of people who bind in very unsafe ways. A friend of me binds with two binders at once and sleeps in them and doesn’t listen when I try to tell him that he should stop. Another guy FUCKING STOLE a binder from me which is way to small for him, but he doesn’t care. It’s really unbelievable what some people do to try to lessen their dysphoria. Stealing isn’t okay.

Anyways, why am I telling you this? I wanna show you what single binding methods can cause.

binding with ace bandages (DON’T EVER)

You can’t breath

Your ribs can break

You can’t move

It can tear muscles

Binding with KT tape (DON’T EVER)

skin irritations

you can’t breath

you can’t move

hurts

you can bleed

Peels off

Numb chest

chest binders

Don’t bind with low-quality binders

don’t bind for more than 8-10 hours

Wash your binder

Don’t ever bind with multiple binders at once or a too small size! (You can break your ribs)

Never sleep in your binder!

Listen to your body

Take breaks

Wash your binder

Alternative binding methods:

Sports bra method

Camisole top method

Swimsuit method

I know dysphoria is fucking hard to deal with but please take care of yourself, listen to your body and don’t do shit okay. If you bind unhealthy, you will ruin your body, and also affect the result of your top surgery negatively. I know you probably suffer a lot right now, but it will get better. I promise. 💙

As a follow up to the last ask I answered, this includes some more safety tips.

NonbinaryWarrior They/them

[sappysapphicstuff]

What about clasp binders (that fasten similar to bras)? I’ve heard varying opinions on their safety…

[v0mitratb0y]

Idk, I had one too and it wasn't absolutely horrible, but I feel like they're normally low quality. Im not sure tho.
