I Love How People Call JKR A "billionaire" Acting Like She's Literally A Demon Who Enslaved Their Family.

the "man-hating lesbians" are on your side. the "old hags" are on your side. the "bitter divorcee women" are on your side. the "bitter childless women" are on your side. the "evil heartless witches" are on your side. the "evil abortionist women" are on your side. the "terfs and swerfs" are on your side. men will always rather you think otherwise.

why won’t anybody deny reality for me????!

if you insist on pretending that people are oppressed for their "sex", then don't complain when you're rightfully called transphobic

does anyone else remember when women weren’t allowed to vote or is that just me?

No I will not "look at the bright side" or "think positively" because I was born in a country where women don't have it as horrible as in other places. I didn't fucking choose to be born here, and they didn't choose to be born anywhere else.

If I were born in one of the 30 african and middle eastern countries where fgm is most concentrated according to the UN, my best scenario would be having my clitoris cut off without any kind of pain killer, with a razor blade that was never sterilized. They could also just decide to cut the whole thing off and then sew me shut, leaving a minuscule hole for my future "husband" to break through when he deems me worthy of his wrinkly, twice as old dick.

If I were born in Pakistan I could be one of the over 150 estimated women who get acid thrown at them annually, because their husbands (who I can assure you these women didn't marry by any real choice) threw a fucking tantrum over what they were wearing.

If I were born in America, where every 98 seconds someone is sexually assaulted, 91% of the victims being female, I could be one of the 1/3 of women who have experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime according to the New York City National Organization for Women.

So with that said, I DON'T CARE THAT I HAVE IT LESS BAD, IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER

I didn't choose to be born in a country where I'm kind of viewed as an equal human being by most people despite the anatomy I didn't choose to have. Those 150 estimated pakistani women didn't fucking choose to have acid thrown at their faces. The women of america didn't choose the reality they live in right now.

I was lucky to be born in Sweden. I shouldn't have to consider being treated as a living, breathing human being as something lucky just because I have a fucking vagina.

Fuck the bright side and fuck your "optimism"

I will never forgive abled people for turning real actual medical terminology into insults or shorthand for "serial killer" so that you can't have a normal conversation about your own mental or physical health with the average person.

I've gotta say, watching the creepiest dudes from my high school become TIMs is dystopian as fuck.

"Trans women are women" that is literally Brad from English. He's been fetishizing lesbians and frying his brain cells with anime porn since he got access to the internet.

say rape. not grape, not 🍇, say rape. it might be uncomfortable to say, but that's okay. rape isn't supposed to be comfortable. by taking away the weight and emotion around the word, we're watering down the horrible act. making it more digestible.

"but I have to say grape so I can stay monetised" then don't talk about rape. if you're telling someones story solely for the money, you don't deserve to be telling their story.

rape is a horrible, disgusting, act that SHOULD feel uncomfortable to hear about. but something feeling uncomfortable shouldn't mean that we should censor ourselves. let it be uncomfortable to hear, but keep listening anyways.

it's crazy how a man can just type and post something like this and be LAUDED for it. you mean you lacked the basic human development of theory of mind until adulthood? SO proud of you for overcoming your terrible struggle

if your feminism excludes trans people, you are not a feminist. Feminism means equality.

The definition of feminism:

The definition of radical feminism:

I am a feminist, don't you dare try to silence me just because you've been brainwashed into thinking that being trans is okay.

Sometimes it's really really concerning how much anti-psychiatry and anti-recovery rhetoric exists-- and for once I'm not just talking about endos, but even within the OSDDID internetsphere, especially in actively pro self dx circles. It's not to say that you can't or shouldn't work on things away from a healthcare team, but with chronic and intensely debilitating disorders it is rare, if not impossible to fully be "fine" without help.

Like. If you're experiencing dissociative amnesia or memory/identity issues in general (even when caused by things as innocuously treated online like ADHD if it's at a debilitating level), you NEED someone who isn't affected by those things in order to have a sense of grounding and heal. And it's vital for that to be someone who has a baseline understanding of how dissociative disorders work.

My caseworker calls are sometimes the only thing giving me any sense of the passage of time, and she remembers things during calls that I completely forget or dissociate through. Not even my partner can consistently provide this because of her time blindness, vs the professional who reaches out, doesn't have a disorder affecting her memory, and takes notes during our calls.

My therapy visits, as infrequent as they've been lately, are some of the only reason why we've made progress toward one of our alters no longer making contact with our abusers when she fronts, and that fight isn't over yet. My partner can't stop her from doing it-- she'll wait until they're asleep. They also don't have the resources or bandwidth to address with her why doing this is bad, and if they intervene incorrectly it increases the chance that one day I wake up in another state.

I get from firsthand experience that healthcare, especially in the US, is notoriously inaccessible, and in some places the facilities available are full of inexperienced, incompassionate tools who don't care about their patients. But instead of using that as an excuse to stop trying, instead of pushing others into not seeking care and not trusting doctors, that needs to get channeled into finding and providing resources.

Many states have government funded healthcare available for those below the poverty line. Many facilities offer payment scaling plans even without insurance. A fair amount of insurance companies that "don't cover this" will make exceptions if you go through other channels and get professional referrals. It's not easy, it's not always free, and it's not fast. For those underage, it may be awhile before you can legally access it.

But for the love of all that is sacred on this burning planet, do NOT discourage trauma survivors from trying to get psychiatric help over the potential of a bad experience or a bad doctor. You are not helping people heal and learn to love themselves. You are creating paranoia and enforcing a regressive mentality that can prevent someone from reaching out before its too late.
