There are not even enough jobs to pretend to apply to.

look at all the years transmasculine people have spent being told they’re only trans because they want to live out their fujo fantasies and tell me right now that society doesn’t believe trans men just do it as a fetish. tell me why you can talk about what are clearly young pre-transition trans men exploring their sexuality and interests with absolute hatred as long as you call them “cisgender women who fetishize gay men.” newsflash: putting yourself in the shoes of a character of another gender in every single story you read and write isn’t a fucking fetish 99% of the time, that’s gender exploration. 13 year old girls writing yaoi on wattpad are not single-handedly oppressing gay men, they probably are going to be gay men.

anyone who acts like there's some kind of implicit understanding or sisterhood between all women is straight up lying

Whenever I try and relate the core problem with the Barbie movie to somebody, I just say the phrase "BARBIE GENOCIDE MONUMENT". It's pretty much been burned into my brain from thinking about that one detail so much.

idk where it was but i remember reading an excerpt of something about how child victims of sexual assault often come up with strategies to protect themselves (mentally or physically) as well as protect one another, despite often being depicted as helpless objects that have things done to them with no reaction. & then i think about how widely accepted it was in my middle + high schools that you could not depend on the counselors for jack shit, especially if you were a mentally ill kid. its just aggravating how children are never seen as active subjects. children are seen as deserving of protection, but you are never allowed to help yourself. you must wait for an adult to decide you are worthy of help, and you only get what help they decide you need. in middle school i got in trouble for skipping math class to have panic attacks in the bathroom. no one asked why i had panic attacks, they just reprimanded me for not going to the counselor (they also did not ask why i, a child with social anxiety, felt safer alone than with an adult i did not know or trust). so often i see kids who are struggling with bullying get told "tell an adult!" with 0 acknowledgement of how the adults in their life may be completely unhelpful or actively dangerous, and how kids are often extremely aware of this dynamic. me and my friends were a mentally ill children who were abused but not in the exact ways which are acknowledged as dangerous abuse (and even if they were, many children do not want to risk being put in the system for various reasons) and we had to share knowledge of the adults in our lives to protect ourselves and each other. this is all very rambly but i just hate how children's knowledge and strategies for survival are not recognized. i hate how children have a right to safety but only if its an adult doing the saving- because if they take matters into their own hands they are punished for it. safety, whether intentionally or not, can end up being another way for adults to exert control over children's actions & deny their autonomy because children are still seen as objects to be managed by adults instead of people in their own right

‪The incorrect and negative beliefs we can get from years of negative feedback not knowing we have ADHD or how it affects our lives. While not everything is solely caused by ADHD, it can affect us and our comorbidities in many, many ways. Good news is, treating ADHD can do wonders for Anxiety and Depression!

people on tumblr have got to learn that someone reblogging and disagreeing on your post that uses easily searchable key terms is Not fucking inciting harassment. if they have stated that they do not condone harassment, them arguing with you is Just them arguing with you. a large follower count does not preclude them from being a human being who is allowed to interact with your public posts.

you're also not being harassed when it's just a bunch of people disagreeing with you, anon or not.

harassment is sustained, malicious continuance of stated or shown unwanted actions. it's harassment when you say 'stop, i dont want to talk about this' and they continue, or when they're sending threats or abuse or sexual content that you have not allowed. until that point, it's just people disagreeing with you.

you don't have to enjoy people disagreeing with you, but y'all really need to fucking learn the difference. disagreement does not inherently equal harassment.

mwah. much love
