It’s so funny that everyone around me apologizes when they bring out the sugary treats in front of me. Like y’all I still need to intake sugar or else I will be on the floor. Plus I’m medicated. Give me the cinnamon roll, it’s fine.

I'd like some T2D content that didn't involve wading through massive amounts of information or the absolute dismissal of our struggles through fatphobia. :/ There's a huge genetic component to T2D! It's not just "eating ourselves into disease"!

Please like this post if you also have T2D and post about it so I can follow you. I follow from *****noth.

Anyone else have to hold back from binge eating after being high for a while and not being able to eat what you want because of the high bloodsugar so now that you're finally at a good number you have to restrain yourself from devouring everything, plus that weird t1d thing where it's rare to get that "full" feeling because idk our body doesn't make that hormone or chemical or something

Everyone being normal about world diabetes day:

Me: Hey. Hey remember how. Remember how Frederick Banting literally punched people in the face for trying to charge money for insulin. Hey hey hey remember how he just. Threw hands. Over the patent. Literally straight up was like “I’ll kick your ass” and then Did. Anyway he’d burn Eli Lilly and Co. to the ground if he knew what they’ve done with his work ✌🏻

Me: happy birthday dr. banting I love you a normal amount

"everyone can be a vegan!!!" just say you don't understand the dietary needs of someone with diabetes and go.

If you’d actually listen to trans men, you’d know every single one of us has said “transandrophobia is a mix of misogyny and transphobia”. We’ve been saying it from the start. We are fully aware it involves misogyny!!!

It’s medical misogyny and medical sexism, it’s social misogyny and sexism, etc etc.

But that’s not all!

Transandrophobia also involves how much society hates it when afab people act masculine. Butch women deal with this all the time. Little kids labeled as tomboys deal with it. Society really hates masculine afab people.

But wait, there’s more!

Transandrophobia ALSO involves how much society hates men who are men in the “wrong way”.

And one more thing!

Transandrophobia ALSO involves homophobia, because whether the trans man is straight or not, society views him as a woman. That means he’s treated as either a lesbian (though some trans men do identify as lesbians), or a straight woman, either way erasing his true identity.

And all of that is transandrophobia.

It’s not just transphobia. It’s not just misogyny. It’s not just those things separately. It is an interaction of those things that cause transmasc people to be uniquely abused by society - and a lot of that abuse is invisible, or shoved under “just misogyny” or “just transphobia”. But it’s not.

And - importantly - it does not imply that transmascs are “more oppressed” that other trans people, or that other trans people “oppress” trans men. That’s not how intersectionality works.

Since 2024 is right in front of us and 2023 was a REALLY hard year, let’s all say something positive that happened. Maybe it’s a game you played. A song you liked. Something you accomplished. Whatever it is, mine is that I will be on the other side of struggling this year and it’s gonna be hard at first but I will be able to be a more present mother and all around a better person. What’s yours?

this year may you have
