But they cradled me, yes?

I really wonder what the demographic outcome would be of trans people involuntarily getting "the body you'd have if practicality wasn't a concern" like what percentage of the resulting bodies would be obviously nonhuman?

The construction could also be “Cuthritch” depending on how you want to translate the gender rules in old English.

actually, old english does have a word for “native realm”: eþelrice, pronounced ‘ethelritch’. surprisingly similar lol

Aye but the prefix for “Elld-” had connotations of knowledge and understanding which I felt was essential to keep for an antonym, thus I am serving “Cun-”

A tragedy at sea ended with a spoiled rich kid/teen and a poor kid/teen marooned on an island. Years pass; they're found. Both have become hardened, scarred survivors. Their families struggle to reconcile the people they knew to who they are now, especially since they're now fond of each other.

The slow realization that they have been loved not like a child, but as a trophy. But it was love nonetheless. Wasn't it?

Oh god. Oh fuck. Iron Lung.

my hill to die on is that if we had some real conversations about what eating disorders are, like, definitionally, a loooooot of people would realize they have eating disorders that should not be normalized

my other hill to die on is that eating disorder treatment is ridiculously inaccessible (monetarily, gender-wise, disability-wise, severity-wise, etc.) and this also does not help with the above problem

I mean, if you're fat, doctors prescribe you an eating disorder. It won't make you not fat forever, but it will probably give you an eating disorder. We definitely need to correct people's idea of what disordered behavior is. Doctors need to be shoved to the front of the line.
