hey why do u automatically draw butches dark skinned and femmes light skinned. just wondering why your femmes are always pale, especially always being put next to darker skinned butches. just wondering why dark skin is masculine and pale skin is feminine to you. just wondering why you always draw butches as predatory masculine darker skinned people grabbing on swooning pale skinned people. just wondering. just wondering!!

Nobody prepares you for when your chronic illness starts disabling you from doing anything at all and nobody caring because you "seem fine" or you're "not actually disabled"

I'm gonna be real. Self love (and care) are so important, but I'm tired of trying to self love and care myself into healing. As much as individual work is necessary for recovery, it doesn't replace the need to also have communal love and care. The reason I'm like this in the first place is because of the lack of love and care on others' parts who were supposed to give that to me when I was young. You can go to therapy, you can reparent yourself, you can learn to be comfortable with yourself when you're alone. But fuck!!! None of us are supposed to be this isolated. The human mind is not meant to he this solitary. I don't think it's possible to heal unilaterally. Something something you can't heal wounds from abuse and trust issues and abandonment without having connections with others that reteach your brain what safety in others feels like.

reblogging this again to bring up that when my grandma said she didn’t understand trans people, and why would they betray the body God gave them, it would have been 0 help to explain to her all the biological and cultural and societal components to the existence of the concept of gender and trans people. You know what did make her pause and reconsider her stance? “Did you ever think that maybe God made trans people on purpose?” And we got to have a conversation about all the interesting things God has made so why wouldn’t God make trans people? And she came out of the conversation with more grace and understanding.

And before anyone accuses me of overreacting, let me be clear. The last line of the Presidential Foreword in the new policy document literally reads, “We will find you and we will kill you.”

the way ozempic has finally made the fact that eating healthy and exercising doesn't necessarily make you thin well known and society's reaction to this is not "oh i guess being thin or fat doesn't actually show if you're healthy" but "oh i guess everyone should be on this drug"

"if we abolish sexgender how will i medically transition?" well you can do whatever you want forever. so it is actually very simple
