Appreciate The Fuck Outta HBO For Having The White Lotus Highlight Transgender Fetishism The Way It Did

I don’t know whether or not to laugh at the misinformation or cry like “TERF and SWERF views are feminism appropriated by patriarchy and serve patriarchal objectives”

“Feminism appropriated” ; “serve patriachal objectives”That’s…. that’s pretty much a LOT of liberal feminism.

"you can't find me annoying or the conservatives win!" is an opinion a disturbing number of people have

the rabbit, deemed meek, powerless and frail by the wolves, dawns the faux skin of a wolf to hide herself from the world

with this skin, she hopes the wolves will see her as strong and powerful, just as the wolves are perceived as

she hopes the wolves respect her as if she was one of their own.

the wolf, deemed powerful, superior and strong by his fellow wolves, dawns the faux skin of a rabbit for easier preying,

with this skin, he hopes his meal, to satiate his gluttonous pleasures, will come easier if he mimics his food,

he hopes he's seen as meek and frail, just he perceives the rabbits around him to be.

the rabbit ventures on through the forest to the meeting spot of the wolves, tripping on the oversized pelt of the wolf hanging loosely off the sides of her body,

the pelt doesn't fit her, it never will, but she tries in vain to feel powerful in a society that tells her she can't be.

the wolf ventures on through the forest to the meeting spot of the rabbits, the pelt of the rabbit draped over his shoulders keeps falling off onto the dirt and the hide is too small to cover what he truly is; a wolf

the pelt doesn't fit him, it never will, but he continues on in order to satiate his hunger, his lust.

the two meet in a clearing, both coming to a halt as their eyes lock.

the rabbit knows what she's looking at

her stomach churns with a nauseating anxiety

her pulse skyrockets

even if she's never experienced it herself, she's heard stories from her fellow rabbits of wolves hunting them down to violate them

going as far as to eat their young and their dead as he knows they can't defend themselves like the adults can

how stupid of her, to think the wolves would treat her as equal after everything they've done to her kind.

the wolf knows what he's looking at,

his stomach churns and growls,

the rush of adrenaline hits him, and yet he seems calm as his paws step towards her,

slowly.

the wolf has seen his friends stalk, hunt, and kill, never doing anything to stop them.

the rabbits feel pain, agony, misery, he knows it, but yet he doesn't even try to stop his friends from violating the rabbit's life.

but then again,

why would he stop it when he enjoys it as well?

the rabbit, even after wearing the clothes of a wolf, learning the walk of a wolf, learning to growl and howl like a wolf,

won't save her from being eaten by the wolf, violated by the wolf, her land taken and tainted by the wolf,

she will never be respected as a wolf respects wolf, or as a rabbit trying to save herself respects wolf.

the wolf, even after wearing the clothes of a rabbit, learning the walk of a rabbit, learning how to squeak and teeth-grind like a rabbit,

won't stop the rabbits from fearing him, hating him and his kind for their violent acts against their kind,

but he couldn't care less.

noo nope. nope. transwimmin can’t be radfems full stop i can’t deal with TIRFS

The new UK ruling has given me many meme ideas lol

"men and women are equally as vicious and hateful to one another because women leave mean comments about men they find ugly" men rape and enslave and murder and violate and control women and have done so forever but yeah women saying a guy has a fugly hairline on a ten second video is equivalent to femicide. and enslavement. do you hear yourself. should I call for help

Sometimes it's really really concerning how much anti-psychiatry and anti-recovery rhetoric exists-- and for once I'm not just talking about endos, but even within the OSDDID internetsphere, especially in actively pro self dx circles. It's not to say that you can't or shouldn't work on things away from a healthcare team, but with chronic and intensely debilitating disorders it is rare, if not impossible to fully be "fine" without help.

Like. If you're experiencing dissociative amnesia or memory/identity issues in general (even when caused by things as innocuously treated online like ADHD if it's at a debilitating level), you NEED someone who isn't affected by those things in order to have a sense of grounding and heal. And it's vital for that to be someone who has a baseline understanding of how dissociative disorders work.

My caseworker calls are sometimes the only thing giving me any sense of the passage of time, and she remembers things during calls that I completely forget or dissociate through. Not even my partner can consistently provide this because of her time blindness, vs the professional who reaches out, doesn't have a disorder affecting her memory, and takes notes during our calls.

My therapy visits, as infrequent as they've been lately, are some of the only reason why we've made progress toward one of our alters no longer making contact with our abusers when she fronts, and that fight isn't over yet. My partner can't stop her from doing it-- she'll wait until they're asleep. They also don't have the resources or bandwidth to address with her why doing this is bad, and if they intervene incorrectly it increases the chance that one day I wake up in another state.

I get from firsthand experience that healthcare, especially in the US, is notoriously inaccessible, and in some places the facilities available are full of inexperienced, incompassionate tools who don't care about their patients. But instead of using that as an excuse to stop trying, instead of pushing others into not seeking care and not trusting doctors, that needs to get channeled into finding and providing resources.

Many states have government funded healthcare available for those below the poverty line. Many facilities offer payment scaling plans even without insurance. A fair amount of insurance companies that "don't cover this" will make exceptions if you go through other channels and get professional referrals. It's not easy, it's not always free, and it's not fast. For those underage, it may be awhile before you can legally access it.

But for the love of all that is sacred on this burning planet, do NOT discourage trauma survivors from trying to get psychiatric help over the potential of a bad experience or a bad doctor. You are not helping people heal and learn to love themselves. You are creating paranoia and enforcing a regressive mentality that can prevent someone from reaching out before its too late.

PSA: never discuss private affairs in your DMs, especially contraception and abortion. Social media moguls will absolutely sell you out to the government. There are already cases of people being charged based on evidence in their DMs.
