Shoutout to my dad who accidentally moved into an up and coming black lgbt neighborhood and was very disappointed to learn that all of his “new friends” weren’t actually interested in how to use iNaturalist or where he saw coyotes on his walks 😔🙏🏻

You misunderstand. My father has accidentally been on multiple dates now with multiple guys he was hoping wanted to be friends 😅

Oh bless him

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.

This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands

I went to my doctor after I was walking to work one morning and saw a bus coming and actually took a step to throw myself in front of it before I pulled myself together. Later that day I started bleeding and was literally like someone flipped a switch and I didn't feel suicidal anymore. Which made me feel like I was loosing my mind because who goes from 'I want to throw myself in front of a bus' to 'I'm perfectly fine' just like that? I did some research, I went to the doctor and described my feelings, he looked me in the eye and gently asked what I thought it was, I said I'd read about PMDD and I thought it might be that, he said 'I think so too' and wrote a prescription.

If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.

Also this is something that can develop as you get older. So if you used to get normal PMS but what I wrote above sounds more like your norm now then don't just write it off as regular PMS.

If you're in the US military or National Guard, and are given an illegal or unconstitutional order, the GI Rights hotline (1-877-447-4487) is there to help give you the support you need to do the right thing by refusing it. It would be good to think about this now before it becomes a live issue for you and it would be smart of you to memorize that number.

You can reblog this without your thoughts about the US Military, btw, that's allowed.

Some of you might think im just a sex obsessed freak. Well i am. Youre following a pervert. Have a nice day.

I think I should get to ruin someone's life. Sexually, and as a treat for me

Need someone to curse my name with every breath after I've taken everything from them and they're still completely and irrevocably addicted to me. This is enrichment, I think

Hold up am I a fucking succubus

Apparently the English Supreme Court's ruling saying gender is defined by "biological sex" (or rather a hyper-simplistic version of it) makes a specific carve out for toilet usage that says trans men can not use the women's restroom or private spaces.

Which literally undermines their entire argument.

Because the cruelty is the point. The absurdity and contradictions are intentional. The only intent is to harm trans, nonbinary, intersex, and gender nonconforming people.

And all of it funded by JKR's cast fortune, so I hope you enjoyed your shitty wizard game.

Today I explained why I can't really travel to Florida right now to my dad & watching him get increasingly frustrated with the realization that Transphobia Exists was honestly something else.

him: "well if you're not allowed to use the men's bathroom, just go to the women's! that'll show them."

me: "yeah but I'm just as likely to have the cops called on me for 'using the wrong bathroom' in there. have you seen me lately?"

him: "but if one of the options is wrong and not allowed then the other one has to be the right option. what do they want you to do?"

my grandma, helpfully: "I think they want trans people to not go to Florida"

my dad: spluttering frustratedly

me: "I think the thing is that you are more logical and reasonable than Ron DeSantis."

the face of a semi-reformed(?) conservative when realizing with dawning horror that laws can be unfair on purpose is truly special tbh

my grandma also questioned how often it actually happens that people are calling the cops on trans people in airport bathrooms & started talking about the statistics she wanted to look up, and I got to explain that there isn't even basic research on some decades-old trans healthcare procedures, so the statistics she wanted almost certainly did not exist.

the shocked outrage of someone learning for the first time that bigotry is bad is strangely comforting. reminds me that most people are pretty normal, I think.

Had a really similar experience when a coworker was talking about a trip to an over the top conservative area and how much I’d love it.

“I’d like to, but I can’t safely travel there,” I told her.

“Wh-wait why?”

“I’m visibly queer. If I went there with my partner we’d be unsafe.”

“Oh… you could just… not hold hands?”

I gave her a flat look and asked, “Would you want to travel somewhere that holding your husbands hand put you in danger?”

“Oh… I guess not.”

“Besides, it’s not enough. Just looking like we do is enough to trigger aggression. Even if we don’t hold hands. I’ve been threatened just walking near my girlfriend in a parking lot on multiple occasions.”

She looked visibly shaken and never brought up travel again.
