i made this account because i hit a threshold of anger with my current friend group, which is largely people who identify as trans and/or queer. including a number of lesbians with boyfriends, which i still don't really... get.
i'm not quite sure how to define myself to others anymore.
my sex is female. even when i identified as binary trans, i didn't think that was something that could be changed and it disturbs me that so many people are now arguing it can be. i have a hard time with being referred to by she/her, but... i have a lot of reasons to run away from myself. in this space i would not ask to be called something else, as i am coming here in the first place to try and see if not running away is better
i'm a survivor of child sex trafficking. i have c-ptsd and a handful of other mental disorders that i've never really felt comfortable listing out on the internet like a tasting menu of what other people think is wrong with me.
i finally "peaked" after years of lingering quietly around the edges of radfem spaces when i recently saw a post in one of my mental health community spaces declaring that going to a brothel is a morally neutral act and that shaming clients hurts sex workers.
that made me feel a certain way. more specifically, inconsolably furious. which kind of cascaded with a whole lot of other things that have also pissed me off and made me really uncomfortable with the current trans rhetoric as well.
anyways - nice to meet you all
