dear intersex people,

you don't have to be open about your type of or specific variation. you don't have to explain your identity. you don't have tell people about your body or its inner workings. if all you want to say is that you're intersex, that's okay.

[tortiefrancis]

people with personality disorders are still capable of love, affection and caring about others, but it's okay to struggle with those things.

you aren't evil for not feeling love, hating showing or receiving affection or not caring. it doesn't make you a bad person, or less deserving of respect.

For new year's, I'd like to send love to:

- people with autism

- people with epilepsy

- people with sensory processing disorder

- people with misophonia

- people with post-traumatic stress disorder

- people with heart conditions

- people with photophobia/light sensitivity

and anyone else trying to enjoy the new year without having to worry about loud noises or lights

shoutout to people with intellectual disabilities, you guys deserve the world

[tortiefrancis]

shoutout to people who were diagnosed early, but never told about it, or didn't find out until much later.

people who didn't have access to their medical records, or whose parents or guardians hid this information from them.

to people whose doctors, therapists and such lied to them, and to those who weren't told everything about their results.

to people who lost these records or results, or who had them stolen.

you're enough. you're valid.

people talk a lot about origins and stuff in the plural community but here's your reminder that you don't need to label that, you don't need to know for sure, you don't even need to share it with others if you do. it's okay. you're not in the wrong for this.

[tortiefrancis]

people with personality disorders just know that you're all amazing and incredible and deserve so much better in this world, i hope your day is good

these news are from a few months ago but i thought i'd share! a throuple managed to get officially married in novo hamburgo (RS), brazil and their kid will get the names of all three parents on their birth certificate!

(If anyone would like a translation of the headline and article, I can try)

[tortiefrancis]

sending love and appreciation to medians, souldbounds, traumaendos, gateway systems, polyfragmenged systems, demiplurals, created systems, mixed origin systems, and all other lovely, diverse forms of plurality, systemhood and multiplicity that there are

Feel like tumblr needs more positivity and honestly, I do too. Reblog this and share something good that happened recently- big or small.

I saw a ladybug yesterday.

[tortiefrancis]

there's no such thing as a disorder that makes you inherently evil. it doesn't dictate how good or bad someone is

[tortiefrancis]

also i know I've said this before but if you're queer, a poc, neurodivergent, disabled, etc and Christian i love you so so so much

[tortiefrancis]

hey? people with triggers, for whatever reason? you don't have to force yourself to see your triggers. you don't have to "expose yourself" to it. you're not being weak or "preventing yourself from healing" by avoiding it, by filtering content, by stating boundaries.

[tortiefrancis]

shoutout to people who do consume children's media because they have a hard time understanding anything else. people who have to look up what a scene or the ending meant. people who ask a lot of questions or who wish they could but are too afraid to. people who get drained or overwhelmed consuming other things.

you're not less capable, intelligent or human because of your struggles

happy disability pride month to religious disabled people!

to those who can't attend temples or religious spaces because they're not accessible, take away too many of your spoons, or aren't totally safe

to those who can't wear any religious garments because of sensory issues, allergies to certain materials, can't put them on by yourself or aren't accommodated for you

to those who stutter, stammer, have tics or mispronounce things during prayers, songs, chants or readings, or who can't speak and have to find other ways to participate in those

to those who are never able to fast or have to pass on certain food traditions due to medication, gastrointestinal problems, and more

to those who decorate their mobility aids, stim toys, medical devices and such with symbols of your religion(s)
