Last week before I opened my mouth to speak I was able to anticipate the tone that I was about to use. I heard MY voice clearly in my mind, not how it used to sound. Made me sooooo excited🥰 It’s such a small thing but it makes me happier than I can describe to settle into myself
I used to be so embarrassed about how hairy I was. In high school, I would shave my arms, from fingers to shoulders, every day. Now I’m on T and my boyfriend calls me baby bear and I’m fuzzy and warm and I love it. The growth is unbelievable lol
If you're queer or trans in a red state FLEE!!! FLEE NOW!! No I can't offer you literally any material support in helping you reestablish yourself & your family in a whole different part of the same county genociding you but I sure as shit can help frighten you some more!
I saw this interview when I was 12 and I remember gasping at the tv… that was the first time I had ever heard someone defend trans people and I will never forget how life changing it was, especially back then. That’s real solidarity
Please watch every video in this thread covering the Tennessee GOP's chilling, racist decision to expel two Black lawmakers for - yes, you heard right - participating in peaceful anti-gun violence protests. This is an extremely dangerous, anti-democratic precedent being set.
Ya'll.
That boy wasn't just arrested for sending that picture of a cop meme.
It was shared in a private teen group chat where THE STATE OF FLORIDA implanted a spy.
They retaliated against the mother by using her son.
She had to send her husband & daughter out of the state
My doctor who provides my HRT said he’s already had 5 patients flee the state since the news last week. Two of which were couples who decided to leave the country.
Reality-altering mental illness is tricky to deal with. I’m just speaking from personal experience with PTSD, panic disorder, and dissociation. Neither affirming or denying my reality is helpful. When I’m in an unstable mental space just try to be a secure rock of calm. That’s it
A really good tip for dealing with people who have a history of gaslighting trauma… maybe don’t like, try to comfort them by explaining how they’re overreacting or catastrophizing. Nothing oils my grip on reality quite like being told I’m just paranoid.
Once an allistic coworker observed how well I got along with an autistic trainee and said "oh wow you're really good with him".
No, actually. I am really good with you. And that's called *masking*.
