reminder that being “technically” able to do something by pushing yourself through great mental or physical discomfort does not mean you are Lying when you ask for help with it or use aids. you’re allowed to not want to be in pain every single time you do something.

Please read up on what terfs actually believe so you're not going around seeing actual terf rhetoric spread around like "wow, what an interesting new take on trans politics!" and then see a trans woman say "we live in a patriarchal society" and go "oh shit, trans woman terfs? 🤯🤯🤯🤯"

It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all.

Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.
