literally one of my favorite posts on this site

literally on my fucking knees begging and pleading for cis allies to stop saying things like “no trans kid is getting surgery” “no trans kids are transitioning” “trans kids just take reversible puberty blockers until they’re older” because these statements are not only demonstrably false, therefore giving transphobes an open window to completely debunk your argument and boost their own (”if it’s not happening why do you care if it’s made illegal?”), but you are not helping us or protecting us and our rights. you are hurting us.

i started hormones when i was 14 because psychological and reversible medical treatment did not ease my dysphoria enough to improve my quality of life! me, my family, and my doctor(s) decided that hormones would be the best next step to help me, so that’s what we did! trans kids DO take hormones, and they DO occasionally get surgery, and that is COMPLETELY FINE!! because preventing a family from accessing what they and care providers decide is the best healthcare for a child is CRUEL AND UNETHICAL.

multiple studies show trans people who are forced to wait until late adolescence or adulthood to medically transition have worse mental health than both their immediate peers and continuing on into adulthood.

if i hadn’t started HRT when i did i would have flunked out of school or killed myself before i turned 18. trans kids have a right to access best practice medical care, whatever that may be for them.

America’s puritanical, homophobic, anti-vaccination, anti-sex education, “morality” mentality is killing people.

I'm sorry, the age limit has been raised to 45? Fam! Go get your HPV vaccine! Even if you think you can't afford it because of co-pays or kick of insurance, you need to. Out of pocket for a jab is WAY CHEAPER than the cancer it prevents. And your county health department will usually have less expensive vaccines or vouchers for/access to less expensive vaccinations.

Please go! Your auntie loves you and does not want you to die from a PREVENTABLE cancer!

Ugh, was having a great time mocking my recently imprisoned rival when I noticed the camera positioning makes it so that I appear behind the bars, thus framing me as trapped in a metaphorical prison of the narrative, now my whole day is ruined. Fuck.

the walking polar bear gif is already one of my favourite gifs so can you imagine the noise I made when I saw this version

it's so evocative..... it's so hurt, but it is at peace.. it is moving on

Shit therapists say really does feel like those "shouldn't this be obvious" game loading screen tips. Like you got stuff like "communicating your feelings verbally will make others aware of how you feel" and "if you feel overwhelmed in a situation, you can remove yourself from the situation until you calm down" and you roll your eyes like ugh isn't that just common sense, but someone who got thrown in with no tutorial and is operating everything completely wrong will spit out their cereal like HOLD ON YOU CAN JUST DO THAT?

Sooo hilarious but I can completely see this being a real conversation between streaming execs 😏
