same with me. talked about it with my therapist and she told me that its normal because its the way your brain protects you from the trauma you went through
for me, it feels foggy. like a mist is clouding over what happened. the memory, its still there, but it doesnt feel real. as if it was something my brain made up. but i know it wasnt. one of my earliest memories was of it happening to me and it continued on for years. but my brain chose to forget it and whatever i do remember of it is a foggy memory.
tbh im glad my brain chose to forget it. i dont know what kind of person id be if i did. when i was unpacking some of it with my therapist (i didnt like talking about it nor ever brought it up, we only spoke on it if she brought it up) and was going through the legal process to get my abuser charged, i was terrified of everyone and immediately became jumpy and screamed whenever my friends would spook me.
its probably why i even still now have terrible memory even now lmaooo
the SA comic really resonated with me.. i’ve experienced similar. do you feel sick when you look back on the experience, and/or has making such a comic helped you move forward? i hope this isn’t too weird to ask but thank you.... i’m sure lots more people felt seen after you told your story.
To be honest I don't feel much. It feels more like something that happened to someone else. Not one of my memories
I feel lucky that my pet became a meme that was not adopted and used by nazis. everyone that has told me they adore this meme is a cool person and not a scumbag loser. if she became the face of a crypto scam or the name of an illegal government entity id have a crisis
My brother in law recently became a veterinarian and it has really driven the point home as to how fucking bonkers veterinary medicine is. We don't expect human physicians to really know much outside of their own specialty - a dentist, an otolaryngologist, and a maxillofacial surgeon are three totally different dudes. Meanwhile a veterinarian at a wildlife rehab center is doing orthopedic surgery on a hawk and then doing rounds on baby hedgehogs in the hedgehog NICU and administering antibiotics to a ratsnake. And he also knows how to perform surgical interventions on a cow! What the fuck! Those are all totally, wildly different kinds of animal!!
Shout out to veterinarians, they know Too Much.
Please reblog so this can reach more people.
hate people wanting to shut down conversations about transandrophobia say that trans men and mascs "measurably" experience less violence than trans women and fems
one of the core aspects of transandrophobia is erasure. the rates of violence we face cannot be "measurably" different than anything, because the rates of violence we face are deliberately not measured and erased whenever posssible
sorry to get political again but as a binary trans girl with a modicum of common sense:
theyfab is a gross thing to call someone and if you call people that you’re gross
dude i cannot wait till i pass
i cannot wait till i look more masc and androgynous
i cannot wait till i look like how i want

[id: reddit post by user spaghettishoestrings titled "(UPDATE) Just lost my healthcare !" with the flair "Celebratory."
Post reads:
Original post is viewable through my profile. Apologies, since I’m on mobile, I couldn’t hyperlink. The TLDR: my doctor called me on Monday and informed me that their practice would no longer be providing treatment for gender affirming care as a result of a recent presidential Executive Order, even though the EO was for people under 19. Even though I’m 25.
Also, because it was asked a few times, this happened in Michigan, and I’ve been on HRT for 5+ years. It’s a practice that includes like 15+ physicians, and I think that the decision was made over my PCP’s head, given that she once told me that she literally moved states to be able to provide gender affirming care here.
First off, genuinely, thank you so much for all the replies and messages. I genuinely felt frozen after that phone call and didn’t know where to start, and you all really helped me get my feet off the ground.
A couple people mentioned contacting the ACLU, which, truthfully, I thought, “there’s no way that the ACLU will get back to me” but I sent a message anyway. They actually called me a few hours after my post and we talked about the Executive Orders and my rights. They offered to fax my provider a letter reminding them of my rights and some other legal terms. It’s crazy how a post on reddit resulted in my name being on the official ACLU letterhead.
Anyway, today my doctor’s physician assistant called me and shared that their practice is reversing their decision and they will continue to provide gender affirming care. I’m still keeping a bunch of the resources that y’all shared saved, including Planned Parenthood, Plume, and looking into a private endocrinologist.
This whole experience just reminded me how great this community is. I appreciate y’all <3"

You should contact Chase Strangio from the ACLU, I believe he is looking for reports of folks being denied their GAC due to these EOs. He's @chasestrangio on IG and Threads.

"Everyone, look! It's the transmasc/trans man who is whining and bitching about how his/their bodily autonomy rights are being taken away and how he/they is still a target for malpractice in the medical field and how he/they are still a target for misogyny and transphobia in the cis ran world! Everyone point and laugh!" 🤡
This is genuinely have some of you mfs sound. Stfu. Ignorance is not bliss, it actually harms people in the long run.
#You are perpetuating the same misogyny we've experienced the majority of our lives it's just in a different font now.
