Retracts My Posting Tendril Into My Body Swiftly

I've never seen my feelings depicted so perfectly before, especially not in a way that was praised and seen as good. 'Hikaru' and Yoshiki don't need to define their relationship, because they know what they are for each other. They love each other, they don't care how, and they simply want to be together.

They don't need to label anything, or explain anything, because who cares what people think of them? They're going to get judged no matter what, so why try and do damage control for people who won't care to listen to them anyway?

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

ignoring that i already addressed that in the post (we already have a word, and that's transphobia. what you are describing is transphobia). i will answer this exactly once in good faith. not just for you but for any other transmasc reading this to reconsider.

the problem with trans*ndrophobia, like misandry, like all lives matter, is that it was reactionary to an initial genuine movement that sought to battle oppression at its root. transmisogyny has been so virulent and vile recently, and people spoke up about how it impacts them even within a community that is supposed to have their back. transmascs responded with this brand-new-minted term instead of taking accountability. it's a thought-terminating word that immediately paints a trans woman voicing concerns and frustrations as someone who has oppressive power (and they do not).

"Many, if not all, American Negroes appear to suffer from a series of problems in identification, stemming from culture conflict, caste restrictions, and minority status, mediated in part through the family structure.

Ultimately their developing unification around common aspirations may determine certain changes in the forms of psychiatric illnesses which are exhibited... These considerations suggest that growing up as a Negro in America may produce distortions or impairments in the capacity to participate in the surrounding culture which will facilitate the development of schizophrenic types of behavior."

Imagine that. You sit there, you see all the mental strain that being Black in America causes... And the determination is "and that's gonna aid in them getting symptoms of schizophrenia". Not "hey I see that racism is causing Black people amounts of stress that can cause one's mind to snap due to mistreatment, to the point of it being unbearable to function in our current society, let's address the environment". No, it's "they seem to think they're being mistreated, they're going crazy".
