this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]

quick pupdate: we're pretty close (a week or two) away from being able to bring mischa into work with me! I'm going to request 2 half days at first, so I'm not asking him to go from 0 to 100, but ive already gone from full time to 4 days per week so fingers crossed work approves it...

and we've been accepted into an organisation! not naming it for privacy reasons as it's pretty small, but i like it so far. they're also the only organisation I've come across (at least in AUS) that does more than acknowledge that animals other than dogs can be assistance animals, and is willing and able to work with parrots and ponies and cats and so on.

also, we caught the bus today, for the first time! he did such a good job. not keen on it but i knew he wouldn't be, but the only thing is that i should've put his boots on. (and brought some water)

Well, I'm here! Now... what, exactly?

Um... this is how I feel right now...

Well, I guess I'll use this as a public sketch book now, so I hope I do improve on my art skills then. I am also happy to meet anyone here, so do not be shy!

No one fucking gives a flying fuck Susan. Every fucking dog alive deserves a life full of paradise and love from their humans. No dog left behind. It doesn’t fucking matter if it’s a rescue, a purebred, a registered AKC Purebred with a Dad/Mom with some stupid long crazy ass name, some street stray, a pound puppy, a surrender, a found dog, etc!!!!!! It doesn’t fucking matter where we go to get our fucking dogs. I’m so fucking sick of it. I’m so sick of this fucking heartless outlook. “If you support an unethical breeder (Backyard Breeder or BYB), then they’ll continue to breed dogs.” And if I don’t, someone else will. And I’m not ever going to sit here and let someone attempt to tell me where I get my dogs from is unethical. You don’t know me. You don’t know their breeder. You don’t know shit about the situation other than what I tell you. Get off that fucking high horse and step off the edge of a cliff while you’re at it Jesus fuck

Judith Herman introduced the concept of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in her book Trauma and Recovery (1992). Here is her diagnostic criteria:

1. A history of subjection to totalitarian control over a prolonged period (months to years).

Examples include hostages, prisoners of war, concentration-camp survivors, and survivors of some religious cults. Examples also include those subjected to totalitarian systems in sexual and domestic life, including survivors of domestic battering, childhood physical or sexual abuse, and organized sexual exploitation.

2. Alterations in affect regulation, including

persistent dysphoria

chronic suicidal preoccupation

self-injury

explosive or extremely inhibited anger (may alternate)

compulsive or extremely inhibited sexuality (may alternate)

3. Alterations in consciousness, including

amnesia or hypermnesia for traumatic events

transient dissociative episodes

depersonalization/derealization

reliving experiences, either in the form of intrusive post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms or in the form of ruminative preoccupation

4. Alterations in self-perception, including

sense of helplessness or paralysis of initiative

shame, guilt, and self-blame

sense of defilement or stigma

sense of complete difference from others (may include sense of specialness, utter aloneness, belief no other person can understand, or nonhuman identity)

5. Alterations in perception of perpetrator, including

preoccupation with relationship with perpetrator (includes preoccupation with revenge)

unrealistic attribution of total power to perpetrator (caution: victim's assessment of power realities may be more realistic than clinician's)

idealization or paradoxical gratitude

sense of special or supernatural relationship

acceptance of belief system or rationalizations of perpetrator

6. Alterations in relations with others, including

isolation and withdrawal

disruption in intimate relationships

repeated search for rescuer (may alternate with isolation and withdrawal)

persistent distrust

repeated failures of self-protection

7. Alterations in systems of meaning

loss of sustaining faith

sense of hopelessness and despair

i am a dog, do not refer to me as anything other than a dog, do not try to humanize me.

i am also a persecutor, i do not find my role shameful, do not try to call me a "misguided protector". you do not know me, you do not know my function in this system.

i have a handler, his name is avery, if you're weird about our relationship i get to bite you. he is my handler, i am his dog. our dynamic isn't inherently sexual, don't treat it like it is.
