Just got back from a pain specialist and I'm vibrating with happiness because they actually listened and gave me a diagnosis that actually describes what I'm experiencing. It feels so amazing to be listened to by doctors knowing that they could have easily blown me off.

It makes me think of all the people who still struggle with getting the right diagnosis, or even a diagnosis at all. I know it seems like a never ending battle with assholes who won't listen but please don't back down. Don't let them ruin your quality of life just because they think they know better and have a fancy degree. It does get better, and eventually you will find peace in a diagnosis with medication or accommodations. Just know you'll always have lil ole me in your corner rooting for you!

Worst part of being in a fandom is obsessing over a character that doesn't get a whole lot of attention. I can barely find any fanart and cool work about my favorite character because he's not a mAiN cHarAcTer

(if you see this send me all the artwork and fics and cool people who also like Eskel please I'm sobbing)

I looooove having a relatively unknown gender/sexuality, because it's so fun to explain it to people!!!

But then it gets ruined because 7/10 times they make fun of it in some way since it's either weird or unnecessary to them :'(

many people were confused about some of my previous posts, so for the sake of clarity i am condensing everything! tumblr has extremely transphobic moderation practices, often flagging completely innocent posts as explicit, solely for containing trans women in them or mentioning transgenderism. while letting untagged porn in sfw tags (ive literally seen porn tagged as "sfw agere") and blatent hatespeech, especially twards trans people (just look at the "gender critical" tag) go completely unchecked recently the CEO of tumblr had a big public hissyfit about people (rightfully) calling him transmysogenistic, going into random trans womens dms to harrass them, and saying that predstrogen saying she "hopes he explodes with hammers and then explodes again and hammers fly everywhere" is a death threat and saying he is calling the FBI on her (repeatedly misgendering her and calling her "it") and many bloggers, apon speaking out about it or even making harmless jokes (one trans woman posted a picture of a car and a hammer with the caption "reblog to scare matt" and got nuked for it) and many are very very angry (rightfully) about this whole affair and tumblr in general. if you would like to look into it i reccomend scrolling the "predstrogen" tag as she is the case most people are talking about at the moment. So, what can we do? this is clearly an ongoing issue, and, dispite having lost a lawsuit about their transphobic moderation in the past (see : https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21274288-tumblr-nycchr-settlement) its clearly not gonna stop with just user complaints, as staff members are perfectly content to just go scorched earth on users who even so much as lightly poke fun at them well if you want to help you should contact the human rights commision (i will give clear details further down) ! you dont have to be in the US, nor be an adult to file, and it only takes a few minutes. this is the best and most effective method to fix this, because it hits tumblr where it hurts. human rights acencies have a lot of legal and financial power and tumblr CAN NOT just ignore them, and given that this will be the seccond time this is happening, the commisions shouldnt be playing nice anymore eaither. its really important that AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE FILE, and with different examples! while maybe your case might not be enough to prop up a lawsuit on its own, we need to prove a general trend. so every little bit counts! to respond to another question abt this ive gotten, as for what exactly to report, you should a) write about an act of discrimination youve recieved on tumblr that was eaither administered by a staff member OR that staff refused to give adequate moderation action in for example : a terf posted some blatent hatespeech targeted twards you, and you reported them, and staff looked at the issue and refused to persecute it. example 2 : you were unfairly flagged, deleted, or otherwise punished by a staff member and you are queer ( AND the post they banned you for has some kind of tie to your gender, ex : a sfw transition progress photo ) OR b) if you have not personally recieved something like that, please look for other peoples stories (THEY SHOULDNT BE HARD TO FIND, within the last couple of hours trans people have been being banned LEFT AND RIGHT for trying to speak on this. i would reccomend checking some of the tags related to what happened with predstrogen) and you should describe that incident as best as possible (be sure to disclose that you are speaking for someone else, ideally you should tell the story of someone you know, if possible.) you can also mention any reports you have made twards people posting blatent hatespeech that, opon reveiwing tumblr refused to prosecute dispite it being very obviously against terms of service. just so nobody gets confused about the filing process, im laying it out in more plain languadge!!

first you should email the SF HRC (san francisco human rights commision), at hrc.info@sfgov.org and say something along these lines :

Hello, I am [full name] from [country or state] and I am filing a complaint against Tumblr, witch is owned by the parent company Automattic Inc. located at 60 29th St, San Francisco, CA 94110.

Tumblr has had previous issues with the NYC DHR for their moderation being unfairly biased against trans women (see : https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21274288-tumblr-nycchr-settlement).

Despite a legally binding agreement with the NYC DHR, staff members still regularly harrass users based on their gender or sexual orientations. For example : on [date of most recent infraction] [describe incident] (if you are describing an incident that did not happen to you specifically, say something like) This incident involves the user [username] who I am not affiliated with (or/) who I am filing on behalf of.

I can be reached for further inquiries about this incident at [email you want to talk over] or [phone number you want to talk over]. (if you would like to be anonymous) However, In the event of legal prosecution against Automattic I would refer to be kept anonymous, where possible, in court proceedings. alternatively, you can also call the SF HRC at : 415-252-2500, you can use the above text as a starting point for this as well, next you want to fill out the form for the NYC DHR (new york city department of human rights) here : https://www.nyc.gov/site/cchr/about/report-discrimination.page for company you wanna put : Automattic and/or Tumblr for address you wanna put : 770 Broadway, New York, NY 10003 for phone number you wanna put : (646) 513-4321 and for category of discrimination you can put : Discriminatory harassment and basis of discrimination you can put : Gender; Gender identity you can then use a similar script on the written section of the form. when describing a specific incident, you should attach as many screenshots and links as possible! (for links, include both a live link and an archival link, so take a capture with the internet archive and have that as an alternative, incase a staff member gets petty.) this should only take a few minutes at most, and it helps alot! you can fill this out if you are a minor, and you dont have to be a us resident, please please take the time!!! and, just to clarify because there are many posts going around that are confused about this tumblr moved offices to san francisco recently, so their main HQ is at : 60 29th St, San Francisco, CA 94110 they DO still have an office in new york city, and thats where their PREVIOUS HQ was, the address is : 770 Broadway, New York, NY 10003

My dream engagement/wedding ring is something odd and strange and something that makes you think it's cursed. Something that if you're not careful will whisper ancient secrets of the earth in a language that has been around before even humans roamed. OR I'll settle for one of my partners teeth turned into a ring (or their blood turned into a ring like that one guy on TikTok makes)

I think I might be autistic but I'm so scared of asking my therapist about it because my fear of rejection makes me think she'll hate me for it in case she doesn't agree I might have it. Someone put me out of my misery this is HORRIFIC

[s0ft1y-r0tt3n]

Having a sexuality and shit is so weird because I want to date boys as a boy but also as a girl and I want to date girls as a girl but also as a boy and it's like what?? What does that even mean?? Am I trans, am I genderfluid, am I gay or straight or bi, WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON.

And then certain labels don't feel right and others do, so idk if I'm nonbinary or genderqueer or Gendervoid OR abrogender because they all feel right (some more than others) but genderfluid and genderflux don't feel right so WHAT IS GOING ON BRO. And it's the same for my sexuality ToT

(sorry this was a rant it's just so confusing and idk who to talk to about this other than the amazing and very gay individuals of Tumblr)

[s0ft1y-r0tt3n]

Imposter syndrome for me is when I feel like I'm not really attracted to women and I'm just straight because sometimes I don't feel anything towards them sexually or romantically. Then I realize I also do that with men and I'm also aroaceflux so of course I won't always feel attraction to a specific gender
