Awesomeness
Back when I started this blog, when I was still a minor (16), and I knew nothing about feminism except that it was for women’s rights, a very prominent terf took me under her wing and began indoctrinating me. At the time I thought I just had a nice online friend, but now that I’m a bit older, wiser, and more educated, I can see that she was grooming me. Not in a sexual way, but she was grooming me to become a terf and stay away from the inclusive circles that I’m in now.
Please reblog this for the sake of your young/new followers. Before you start following or interacting with a blog, check who it is! Terfs are scary, hateful, and dangerous - mostly to trans women but also to nb people, trans men, and people on the aro/ace spectrum. Please don’t get pulled into their circles.
We need to talk about mental health.
***TW: Suicide, Mental health***
Yesterday, a 12 year old boy jumped off a bridge in Virginia in the attempt to commit suicide but accidentally killed a 22 year old woman that was driving below by landing on her car.
He survived but has been taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries.
The woman whose name was Marisa Harris was a student in Marymount University in clinical counseling. “This is the type of kid she would been working with” her dad declared.
As a teenager that have been struggling with mental health for years and attempted suicide more than once, I couldn’t help but cry when I read this. I still am.
Waking up after an attempt and understanding you are still breathing is one of the worst pain one is ever to experience (along with the feelings or absence of feelings that depression or/and other mental disorders puts you through, especially if you come to the point of believing the only way to make it stop is to end your life)
but waking up and finding out that you terminated someone else’s existence when you meant to end your own?
I can’t imagine how this boy is feeling right now.
I know my soul would be absolutely broken beyond repair and I would have attempted again the same minute and made sure I’d not wake up this time.
It seriously hits home so hard
And of course the media are only talking about the victim, Marisa (even though my heart goes out to her family as well) Im just all too familiar with the feeling the boy must have been experiencing, the feelings that lead him to believe it was the only way out of the pain, So I can’t help but think that they (the media) should take this ‘opportunity’ to talk about mental health and the thousands and thousands and thousands of people that die from suicide every year. (800 000/year that’s one every 40 seconds.) Not even counting the attempts. (There is one death by suicide for every ~30 attempts.)
It’s the third leading cause of death among 10-24 year olds globally.
Being a part of the LGBTQ community increases 'chances’ of suicide by 6 to 16 percent.
Having experienced sexual harassment/assault/abuse puts you at higher risks too.
Mental disorders don’t discriminate. They can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, social status, financial situation etc…
This is a worldwide pandemic that is 100% preventable and that almost nobody seem to want to acknowledge and I’m so fucking sick of it.
This is our riot act, our manifesto, our revolution: because the ones who did this know we are talking about their monstrous actions. It’s time for them to have the nightmares, for them to suffer for what happened, for them to fear being named by the same voices they silenced.
I hope they are forever haunted by these two words: “Me too”

Me too
This morning on the metro I really wasn’t trying to snoop or spy, but the girl next to me had her phone right in my line of sight between me and the window. And I saw her open up her Facebook app and open up a new status and write: me too. And then delete it. And write it again. And post it.
She looked up and it was pretty clear she saw that I’d seen, and I really impulsively and I’m sure awkwardly just for a second put my hand on her arm. And she reached over and squeezed it with her hand. And that was it. I never even took out my earbuds. We didn’t even make eye contact.
If you think we are anomalies, you’re a fool.
Me too.
ThanksTooU
I’m just gonna say it. If you think a razor company saying “Rape and misogyny aren’t manly traits” is an attack on all men, or some sort of leftist feminist propaganda; then you are fucked up. The fact that a video standing up to bigotry has 90% dislikes makes me feel absolutely disgusting.
If you’re not terrified that 90% of people felt personally attacked by an ANTI-RAPE, ANTI-MISOGYNIST message, then you’re not paying attention.
And if you think the ad is anti-male; you can stay the fuck away from me because I don’t wanna be a man like that, and I don’t wanna not be a man around people like you…
We love and support you, Terry.
ThanksTooU
