might be a fae who knows

A major new survey from The Trevor Project released on Wednesday (6 May) has found that transgender and nonbinary young people who wanted hormone therapy but were unable to access it were nearly twice as likely to report a suicide attempt in the past year compared to those currently receiving hormones.

According to the report – which included over 10,000 responses from trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer people – 15% of trans youth denied access to hormones reported a suicide attempt, compared to 8% of those able to receive care.

Hoo boy. This sure is a question! I'm gonna try breaking this down a bit.

Shinigami eyes is more useful for the red marks, not the green marks

The marks ARE community sourced, so it's not impossible

Honestly, though, that doesn't sound very likely! I think you're probably hearing talking points from people who don't like it when people push back against transmisogyny

I'm not sure how much you've been following the discourse, but there's this ongoing argument about the concept of "transandrophobia" as a counterpart to transmisogyny.

Transmisogyny is the intersection of two different kinds of sexism - oppositional and traditional. Traditional sexism is the idea that masculinity is superior to femininity. Oppositional sexism is the idea that male and female are rigid and mutually exclusive.

Trans men obviously suffer from transphobia and discrimination, and in the lens above, they are victims of oppositional sexism constantly. However, they are also beneficiaries of traditional sexism; there are advantages that trans men specifically have over trans women, even if access to those privileges is limited.

You can also understand transmisogyny as the unique phenomenon that arises from the intersection of transphobia and misogyny. In both of these understandings, "transandrophobia" is an unhelpful and counterintuitive idea, as it asserts that there is a unique form of discrimination levyed against men, which is a distinctly anti-feminist idea.

People who push back against this are generally not trying to deny the countless ways that trans men are discriminated against, rather, the misunderstanding of feminist ideas that allows "transandrophobia" to exist is something that allows people to shout down trans women trying to talk about our own oppression; it's a shallow desire to claim "transmisogyny for boys" which is, again, anti-feminist.

Some of what you're seeing is likely part of that debate - feminists discussing the ways in which feminist ideas are misinterpreted.

Comrade they get tamamoland within 7 days at most usually. They got puppet twice today, usual is within 24 hours max. I think both of them have had bare minimum 40+ accounts at this point. Puppet is homeless and survives off of 100% tumblr donations.

okii :3

It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.

Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.

Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.

Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)

Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!

You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!

If you want it in a simple phrase:
