that validating but also infuriating moment when i see a post that makes me annoyed and then i go into the notes and it’s like 90% terfs agreeing with it like okay good i’m not crazy this post was bullshit. also i think if a ton of terfs are agreeing with your point then MAYBE you should rethink what you’re saying a little bit

#it's a phenomenon i see on here... i see it with acephobic shit too #the post was basically talking about how scary and damaging and horrible it is that young people are 'self diagnosing' with disorders #and performing them for clout and how tiktok is making them do so #and of course threw DID in there probably as someone who knows very little about plurality in general #which also perpetuates this idea that being a system is SUPER SUPER rare (it isn't btw)#even like if you're strictly talking about DID (which is not the only way to be plural) it is way way way more common than people think #and education about these things is good actually #and social media can be harmful or helpful depending #i'm just so sick of this idea that there are tons and tons of people 'faking' disorders for 'clout' like you're making up a problem to be #mad about and you're making terfs agree with you by posting about how damaging it is for young people's minds #like yeah sure don't pathologize every little thing #but like it's a GOOD thing to be talking about this stuff #and i can't speak to the other disorders mentioned in the post cause i don't have them #but yeah it was just all around Bad and then the amount of terfs in the notes agreeing made it so so clear that that's not a good take #bc that's EXACTLY WHERE THAT TAKE LEADS #to doubting people's lived experiences and trying to claim that people are just faking shit for attention
