in general i think most discussions about psychiatry and anti-psychiatry would make more sense & be more productive if people thought of 'symptoms' not in binary on/off terms but as occurring along a spectrum of frequency / severity / commensurability with the social environment
"but everyone has / does that" yeah because people dx'd with a psychiatric condition don't have some kind of essentially different brain or pathological lesion, we generally all have the capacity to have the experiences or engage in the behaviours designated as psychiatric illnesses
"but some people clearly experience this in a more distressing or impairing way than others" yeah because it occurs along a spectrum, 'having a symptom' looks different in different people and for some people it doesn't necessarily rise to a level that would be pathologised or would cause them lasting distress
"but severity and level of impairment can change over time" yeah because it's not an on / off binary or an essentially broken brain, it's a spectrum of traits and experiences that all humans are on at all times, with level of impairment also highly dependent on your social context and what sorts of accommodations are made available to you
Safa Qandil returned home to Khan Yunis in southern Gaza on Monday only to find that she no longer has one. Thousands of displaced Gazans have been trudging back through the apocalyptic landscape of the devastated city after the Israeli army pulled out on Sunday following months of fierce fighting with Hamas militants. But as often as not it is to find their home is no longer there." We hoped we would find the house or the remnants of it or take something from it to cover us," Qandil, 46, told AFP. "We did not find the house," she said.That is not, however, the worst of her loss. Her son and his pregnant wife were killed by the Israeli army, she said. "My tragedy is great," she said, adding that the army also killed her daughter-in-law's "father, brother, sister, aunt and the rest of her family in a very heinous crime." "It is unnatural and indescribable," she said. "In every house there is a martyr (someone dead), a wounded person, words cannot describe the magnitude of the devastation and the suffering we experienced.
i know when people say "pillow princesses don't just lie there" that they're trying to convey that high/stone femmes and stone bottoms are not lazy and selfish in bed. however, please keep in mind that there are some people who are only able to have sex in a position where they are on their back and receiving. whether due to trauma, disability, or other factors, no one should be made to feel ashamed for having sex in a way that works for them. supporting stone bottoms means supporting all stone bottoms, not just those who have sex in a way that you find hot.
eid mubarak to everyone who celebrates!! may it fill your hearts with joy and peace 🤍🤍🤍
April 9, 2024: The Arizona Supreme Court just voted a pre-statehood law from 1864 that will effectively ban all abortion care in the state.
If you need abortion care there is still 45 days to seek abortion care within the state.
arizonaforabortionaccess.org will help refer you to providers that will refer out of state.
My only child was born in Arizona via a late term abortion in 2020 due to Triploidy, a condition that is completely incompatible with life. Having an abortion (vaginal birth with induction) saved my life and my future fertility.
Abortion is healthcare.
Let’s hear it for butch tummy fr
there is nothing sexier than a sweaty butch and i will not argue because im right
i think a lot of people would be happier if they viewed labels like homosexual and transgender as social technologies rather than identities
that is to say, "transgender" is a useful way for me to convey how i move through the world to others rather than some essential qualia. i am of a class of people with an infinite number of relationships with their genders
Hey guys maybe before you call a trans man ‘fem-presenting’ check to see if they are actually purposefully being gnc. Because if you call me ‘fem presenting’ just because I am visibly trans and visibly have boobs I’m going to maul you.
Hey guys maybe before you call a trans women ‘masc-presenting’ check to see if they are actually being purposefully gnc. Because if you call a trans women ‘masc presenting’ just because she is visibly trans and has facial/body hair I’m going to maul you.
Pillow Princesses, high femmes, stone bottoms, however you title yourself:
Thank you. Thank you for being a truly safe space for your counterparts. Thank you for understanding and loving what others do not.
You make me and so many more feel safe.
Your value is not in what you can provide us. Not in how you fit with us better than anyone else. Not in how we need the safety you provide.
Your value is in your truth and honesty. Your vulnerability. Your love and devotion to the world.
Thank you for allowing us to worship at your altar. Thank you for blessing us with your beauty and grace.
We need you. And I thank you for that.
Even if we didn’t need you, I thank you.
transfemme and transmasc solidarity! (prints available)
People who bitch about stone bottoms wouldn't deserve them if they could get them. Oh sorry you don't like incredible hole and getting a God complex and open scratches down your back and getting a show that engraves itself into your mental corneas. Sorry you can't appreciate the intimacy and vulnerability of someone trusting you with their boundaries, with their limits.
sorry bro i lost focus and forgot where u begin and i end i hope nothing gay happened
When a straight man lashes out after dating or having sex with a trans woman, he is often afraid of the implication that his sexuality is joined to hers. When a gay man anxiously keeps trans women out of his activism or social circles, he is often fearful of their common stigma as feminine. And when a non-trans feminist claims she is erased by trans women’s access to a bathroom, she is often afraid that their shared vulnerability as feminized people will be magnified intolerably by trans women’s presence. In each case, trans misogyny displays a fear of interdependence and a refusal of solidarity. It is felt as a fear of proximity. Trans femininity is too sociable, too connected to everyone—too exuberant about stigmatized femininity—and many people fear the excess of trans femininity and sexuality getting too close. But sociability can never be confined or blamed on one person in a relationship; it’s impersonal, and it sticks to everyone. The defensive fear and projection built into trans misogyny, whether genuine or performed, is an attempt to wish away what it nonetheless recognizes: that trans femininity is an integral part of the social fabric. There will be no emancipation for anyone until we embrace trans femininity’s centrality and value.
