It’s Like If You Took My Name And Added “tagon”

there is a very real tendency of teenagers with anxiety disorders self diagnosing with considerably more stigmatized and impairing mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia, DID, personality disorders), but the best response to that isn't to get angry with them for "appropriating" lol. instead you show them coping resources for the problems they're actually having and deemphasize diagnostic categories in general. if an 18 year old is claiming to have alzheimer's, they're probably making an innocent mistake and are in genuine distress. be kind.

Also I think this trend comes, at least in part, from how brushed aside anxiety disorders can be. If your parents and teachers dismiss you with 'oh everyone feels anxious', then inevitably you're going to start thinking that there must be something else going on with you

”You must feel very scared right now; let’s talk about how to help you personally, tailored to your symptoms” will always be more helpful than “stop faking (X) for attention”. If theyre that desperate for attention or an explanation, something is wrong.

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

did any otherkin vote for Hillary Clinton

LOL whos tye saultry little binch on the bottom lsft????

and stop forgetting there are nonbinary people who long for bottom surgery while understanding that you can be any gender with any genital configuration

no, addition is much appreciated, after this post started to get notes i regretted my phrasing and that i'd made it sound so binary 💜

You are not "ruining" anyone's fun for demanding better for yourself, and anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves. Any fandom worth being a part of should have no room for racism in it.

I hate the push that you can quit addictions by pure willpower because it perpetuates the idea that people who can't have committed a moral failing of some kind. We all may know some people who did quit an addiction cold turkey, and with no aid, you may be one of them. And that's fantastic, but it is not the norm. It is more than okay to need help to quit an addiction. Relapse is also part of the process. Many people relapse several times before they are able to quit for good. Let's have compassion.

In fact, research shows that help is necessary to quit. Alcohol and opiates require medical supervision for safety and success. Quitting cigarettes is more successful when you have social support and wean yourself. Stopping cold turkey isn’t just dangerous in a lot of cases, it doesn’t actually work.

so many of you really do think that you can be born with an organ that makes you a rapist, and you don't seem to understand that sexual abuse is a product of imbalances of power

not that you're ever willing to have a conversation about how trans women, being an incredibly disempowered class, face extraordinarily high rates of violence

if we actually addressed the real systems that enable sexual abuse, then you wouldn't be able to abuse trans women with impunity anymore, and we can't have that! rape organ it is then

all the feminist progress made in the 2010s truly was sacrificed on the altar of transmisogyny. no, the patriarchy isn't to blame for women's oppression, we actually need the patriarchy to help us take down those trannies, the real threats to women!

It’s extremely fucked up that some ppl try to make you feel stupid and immature for hoping for a better world. You say you want world peace and mfs think you need a pacifier; dawg, I just don’t want ppl dying from violence. This idea that ppl simply must die as casualties of war is misanthropic to say the least.
