AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Story of my life people. You know what’s real ? The struggle.

Painting all religion as harmful and bad is point blank racist, islamophobic, and antisemetic. You, an ex-christian white queer athiest, cannot possibly know the fucking details in every religion when it comes to LGBTQ+ people. You cannot. You likely don't even have the basest knowledge of what the Torah, or the Qu'ran or any other religious text that isn't the christian fucking bible says in detail about queer and trans people. Hell, I doubt you even realize that the christian bible isn't as vitrolicly homophobic and transphobic as modern christianity paints it.

Christianity was used as a colonialist tool to subjugate and oppress anyone who was not christian. Hate it for that reason. Do not start start painting brown and black dominated churches and religions as the same as white (American) christianity, because you cannot and do not know about how religion and race interact.

“I’m a therapist and keep this poster in my waiting room, apparently it’s saved a few lives.”

I don’t like the phrase “a cry for help.” I just don’t like how it sounds. When somebody says to me, “I’m thinking about suicide. I have a plan: I just need a reason not to do it,” the last thing I see is helplessness.

I think your depression has been beating you up for years. It’s called you ugly, and stupid, and pathetic, and a failure, for so long that you’ve forgotten that it’s wrong. You don’t see any good in yourself, and you don’t have any hope.

But still here you are: you’ve come over to me, banged on my door and said, “HEY! Staying alive is REALLY HARD right now! Just give me something to fight with! I don’t care if it’s a stick! Give me a stick and I can stay alive!”

How is that helpless? I think that’s incredible. You’re like a marine: trapped for years behind enemy lines. Your gun has been taken away, you’re out of ammo, you’re malnourished, and you’ve probably caught some kind of jungle virus that’s making you hallucinate giant spiders.

And you’re still just going, “GIVE ME A STICK. I’M NOT DYING OUT HERE.” “A cry for help” makes it sound like I’m supposed to take pity on you, but you don’t need my pity. This isn’t pathetic. This is the will to survive. This is how humans lived long enough to become the dominant species.

With NO hope, running on NOTHING, you’re ready to cut through a hundred miles of hostile jungle with nothing but a stick, if that’s what it takes to get to safety.

All I’m doing is handing out sticks.

It's a fucking goddamned Nazi dogwhistle and it isn't even subtle.

So to all the cis white goys who are like "apparently showering is a white supremacist concept now" please for the love of GOD stop being so fucking dense.

TERFs aren't LITERALLY referring to hygiene. They're implying that trans folks are so inhuman, so repulsive, that we should be treated as a totally different species from them, and that any association with trans people could "contaminate" the "purity" of cis folks.

anywho have some more!
