These have caused legitimate trauma for me because I was reading these as a teenager when the culture in the trans community was much different, being that the healthy side of the trans community was hidden for their safety in obscure forums at that time.

So as I became a teenager, I read and re-read passing culture content from probably 20+ different sites for hours. When I was the most dysphoric and depressed, I’d read those guides telling me how I wasn’t good enough and cry until I fell asleep because it was my fault I was perceived this way. Every “she” and “her” was a personal failure. And when I followed everything as perfectly as I could and it still didn’t work, I felt like I’d never, ever be good enough.

But that is not how this works. Passing doesn’t fucking exist. People perceive you as they perceive you and everyone has different understanding of what different genders look and act like. Fuck passing culture.

gotta say i don't like how many "how to pass ftm" guides are straight up just like. be monotone and uninterested and don't engage in your "feminine" hobbies and don't wear bright colors and don't be polite and don't smile at people and don't show emotion ever. like how precisely is this a healthy thing to be teaching people (especially the young people these are often targeted at)??? i am a bubbly boy. a cheerful chap. a merry man. a good-humored guy. a glowing gent. a veritable ray of fucking sunshine and i am NOT toning that down!!!! fuck you!!!!!!!

I’m really tired of only seeing posts for trauma survivors who have managed to stay kind. not all of us can. not all of us can do that and still cope.

shoutout to my fellow trauma survivors who expect the worst, who are unfriendly, who have learned not to be vulnerable because people have used vulnerability to hurt you, who are quick to bare teeth, who are jaded and exhausted, who learned to compartmentalize and shut to things away and not feel, who are called bitter and disappoint people who expect us to be model survivors.

we are no less valuable or human than anyone else.

whenever I share a controversial autism opinion I inevitably get someone describing ABA therapy to me in the comments section as if I'm not familiar with it and I am so so so so fucking tired of it. we (ABA survivors) are not talking points for autism discourse! stop using us as talking points for autism discourse! this is especially the case if you aren't an ABA survivor yourself.

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

Wilson at House tho

will you take my gay ass to the botanical garden please.

[mental-illness-bingo]

You will enjoy the last episode.

Okay well. House MD is officially the gayest show I've ever watched. It's even gayer than the shows that are actually about gay people.

Wilson is constantly staring at House like a pining teenage girl and House can't stop himself from implying he wants to have sex with Wilson.

These men are infuriating!

There is nothing to hear, we can see. What we need to hear out is the microwave. Why god why the microwave. Please explain (in a non-graphic way), I am willing to hear you out.

people “hear me out”-ing blatantly sexualized furry girls is so funny. i know ppl who wanna fuck microwaves

I might add that any of the things above coming from a private number/your own number would also be interesting if 911 called you and that happened

oh you're in a horror film/book and your phone died/has no bars? how boring. I think phones in horror SHOULD work. they should ding only to have the protagonist check and find nothing. they should get calls from somebody you don't know but is still somehow in your contacts. google maps should lead you to one place, no matter what address you type in.

phones are such a big part of our daily lives, removing them from horror removes the horror from our experience. what if the horror felt like it could happen to you, right here, right now? what if it felt like it was already happening?

as a huge lover of birds, 90% of the concern against wind turbines being used for energy is literally just pro fossil fuel propaganda. birds ARE at a risk however there is a lot of strategies even as simple as painting one of the blades that reduces a lot of accidental deaths. additionally renewable energy sources will do more in favor of the environment that would positively impact birds (and all of us). one study found over one million bird deaths from wind turbines. while that is a shockingly high number and we should work to drastically shrink it, at least 1.3 billion birds die to outdoor cats on a yearly basis. it was never about caring about birds

Just a reminder that ableism against personality disorders, especially cluster b personality disorder, is alive and well.

Not having empathy doesn’t make someone evil. It doesn’t make them an abuser. In fact, people without empathy are better in certain vital positions. We’re better at being first responders, 911 operators, and other tasks that would overwhelm empaths. We work better in critical situations than empaths do.

Thinking that any disorder makes someone evil is ableist. And when you take into account the sexist bias in diagnosing women with BPD and the racist and classist bias in diagnosing POC and prison inmates with ASPD and NPD? It’s not only ableist, it’s all kinds of -ists. Plus, it’s really rich for someone who claims that empathy is what makes someone good to have so little empathy for people with disorders that are literally trauma-based.

So yeah if you see someone being a dick to people with PDs? Say something. Because they’re definitely not going to listen to us.
