We are the Wemmblings

white-presenting alters forgetting the bodies race can be dangerous. we once got approached by cops waiting for our white partner to get off of work. they had their hands on their guns before we even had the chance to talk back. we didnt quite escalate it but we definitely didnt deescalate either. we responded in kind to their rudeness because we werent doing anything wrong. simply walking around an empty parking lot so we didnt fall asleep waiting. if not for our white partner noticing and immediately coming to our rescue all sorts of things could have happened.

There were times when we were followed around stores while already in a paranoid state and if not for safegaurds would have flipped out on those people.

part of our system forming was because the way black bodies are policed. we have alters whos whole role is to safe guard us. to keep track of code switching. to know how to react to police to microagressions to danger.

i once worked at a cafe whos owners had ties to the KKK (LIKE LITERALLY THE KKK) and di not pick up on being financially abused by the place because we needed the money. we couldnt lose the job. so our brain ignored the red flags until i was alone with the owner and bam flood gate of racism and microagressions and names of churchs and friends came flooding back because my brain knew being alone with him was too much too dangerous.

even in my pysch eval there was a segment talking about my systems need to stay functional. because black peole who cannot stay calm who cannot perform get murdered they get hurt.

1. transmascs being portrayed as whiny bitch babies for talking about their own oppression (a misogynistic stereotype being applied to transmascs)

2. reproductive healthcare bans on people with functioning uteruses that apply to transmascs as well as cis women

3. the lack of research on how masculinizing hormones affects the reproductive system of people with functioning uteruses (akin to the general lack of research on women’s health in general)

4. high rates of sexual violence toward trans mascs (people who want to commit violence toward people with vaginas will do so no matter what pronouns that person uses. do not ask me for a source on this one or i WILL traumadump on you)

The game treats the Miis like they’re real people and makes zero mention ever that they are not, and only ever refers to them and their POV as if they are real and you are their caretaker! While playing this honestly messed with my head pretty badly at times and made me worry a lot on if I was hurting real people/not doing enough for real people while I was playing!

I cannot imagine how much worse this would be for someone who’s unmedicated, non-dormant, or experiencing breakthrough symptoms! Do please be careful and PLEASE remember to have a way to reality check yourself while playing the game!!!
