Frustrated Ambassador

I have unpopular opinions : r/CerebralPalsy

when "mild cerebral palsy" means I can't do intricate work (beads, sewing, braids, tying, buttons, ZIPPERS?) means I can't walk much at all without putting myself in serious danger (falling all over the place, think wobbly cat) means I can't handle most foods (one ☝️ vomiting session can escalate into an ER moment) means I can't lift even 2 lbs with one hand without it hurting massively and causing muscular episodes (hello ataxic + dyskinetic with just enough spasticity for it to be a problem) means I can't use utensils very well at all (toddler hold for a spoon which is the easiest tool for me, and writing/drawing? Lol can't. I need to buy the gripper I had) means I have next to no spatial awareness and have massive vertigo, motion sickness, vibration sensitivity, etc. My own wheelchair makes me sick for fucks sake. Oh speaking of wheels I can't use canes/crutches/self push wheelchairs because my arms are permanently weak and fucked up. I have a joystick driven wheelchair and THAT TIRES ME MEGA BAD TOO. Cleaning? Can't. I can pick up garbage at least if I walk on my hands and knees and butt scoot. Heaven forbid I wanna climb a stair. I can barely brush my own hair. The tangles can genuinely get stronger than me.

Beth McCarthy gives trans fan new name

That's a HUGE amount of queer joy it made me cry (happy)

Someone in the comments:

Transfem is not the same as trans woman.

transmasc and transfem are not catch-all terms.

I'm actually starting to lose my mind about this because I keep seeing it, it's so widespread now and I feel so bad for nonbinary people whose term was basically stolen to mean the entire trans community = transmasc and transfem, not to mention the audacity to leave out nonbinary in nearly every conversation using these terms too.

so many girls keep telling me to read whipping girl just because i'm a trans girl who talks about how transandrophobia & exorsexism both exist & are bad, & i think it misses 2 important points:

Saying this as someone who's mom is nurse, NEVER FUCKING REUSE NEEDLES

This has nothing to do with any discourse here, but I believe in putting cream on your body, not because of de aging but because it helps to more evenly hydrate it (+it smells and feels nice)

Unless you are a HUGE oil maker (me) obviously we aren't common but you don't wanna make it worse with moisturizers if you have this issue. Mainly some intersex people have this, but other folks can too.

My wise girlfriend @zhenya-grey to me:

I still like this one, even if I never ended up using it.
