What maltreated and traumatised [people] need most is a healthy community to buffer the pain, distress, and loss caused by their earlier trauma. What works to heal them is anything that increases the number and quality of a [person’s] relationships. What helps is consistent, patient, repetitive loving care. … For years mental health professionals taught people that they could be psychologically healthy without social support, that ‘unless you love yourself, no one will love you.” … The truth is you cannot love yourself unless you have been loved or are loved. the capacity to love cannot be built in isolation. … Before they can make any kind of lasting change at all in their behaviour, they need to feel safe and loved.” — Bruce Perry in The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog

yknow it is all very well and good and correct to say that transfeminists need to like uplift and protect and provide community to young trans girls but yknow in your advocacy for that you have to also express some understanding of Why so many trans women on this website feel obligated to have 'minors don't come within 1 billion miles of me' in their bios

sibling relationships are so strange... like i love you. you will never understand me in a way that matters. we are the same person in drastically different ways. we are sewn together. we don't talk. we are attached at the hip. you wish i was never born. can i call you. let's eat together. i forgive you. etc

being fat is hot. when i see other fat people it makes me happy. people act like fat positivity is a cope because they couldn't possibly imagine a world where someone would prefer to be fat. but guess what, i do. i love being fat. i think im so sexy that way. i think other people are sexy that way. the only bad thing about being fat is interacting with insecure thin bitches who just absolutely NEED you to want to look like them, they NEED you to affirm their worldview and they NEED to feel better about themselves by judging your body. but i refuse, and im happy being fat
