Short comic based on this drabble by @she-who-drank-vodka-with-cats which was really inspiring (I hope you don’t mind).

i’ve been abused in service of a lot of people’s sexual desires but it has always been from those who can hold social power over me, family members, men, white cis people, they sit in a position more forgiving to indulging in harming others and that’s why they do it, they don’t even have to like it they just have to be intoxicated with the knowledge that no one can stop them.
no transfem ever has or could harm me like that without being so socially destroyed that her life effectively ends, or perhaps literally ends. it’s not hard to see how weak of a position we hold in the hierarchy constructed by patriarchy and white supremacy. well not hard for us, it’s easy for everyone else to forget when they’re caught up in finally feeling like they found a victim that no one can stop them from harming

happy pride! while this may sound like "dont police other peoples fun" or "its not harming anyone" or anything along those lines, reminder to please keep an eye out for how you treat poc in the community <3
while it might be "discourse" or "ruining the mood" to you to have to be a little bit more mindful of the way you act, being the victim of casual racism i guarantee is much worse !
we are also a part of this community and we deserve to feel welcomed here. listen to our voices and don't use your lgbtq labels as an excuse to hurt other marginialized people, some of whom are also in your very community. awesome! thanks

Y'know what, #7 for the disability ask game, "what's a struggle you wish more people talked about?"
Oh boy, okay where to start... One of the things I struggle with the most is telling people about my Misophonia in the first place. I know people are going to forget that the sound of them eating or cracking their knuckles can cause me pain because those things are very normal day-to-day things. People have to eat and they get nervous or achy and want to crack their joints. I understand that. I do those things too (albeit I try to be quieter about them or do some of those things when I’m alone). So to tell people, “hey this normal human thing that you do creates a sound that turns on my fight or flight and cause me lots of stress” is difficult. I’ve only brought it up a bit with close family and friends because of this. I always feel bad when I remind them a fidget bothers me because it does help them. Due to this, there are times where I isolate myself, or am very irritated for seemingly no reason and people think it was something they did (which, technically is true, but I really try not to blame people for it) or that I’m always that way. I’ve gotten better at communicating to people when I am irritated, that it’s not a personal attack at them, rather I have extreme auditory sensitivities that are difficult to handle. I could keep going on a rant, but I’d rather wait for another ask about it 😅
However, I wish disabilities, in the variety of forms they come in, were talked about more (preferably in school) so that more people would be familiar with having conversations about their needs and accommodating for others’ needs. I’ve been told a few times to power through what I’m experiencing and that wearing headphones will make it worse (that I rely on them too much), but what I experience can be excruciating and make me want to rush through seeing friends or being on trips with family. I really hate that, but all I can do is avoid those sounds (not very likely), wear headphones (more likely), and breathe calmly or distract myself, which only keeps me from lashing out, but doesn’t make it go away. I’m not asking people to stop making those sounds (though if you are a lip smacker I will be extremely tempted to), I really just want some understanding for when I where headphones during meals or seem moody suddenly or have to leave a room to calm myself. The world is very VERY loud and I am trying my best to cope with that. It doesn’t always work, but with some help and understanding it’s more tolerable
