The popularization of therapy speak has done enormous collective social damage. Yes, the meltdowns of people with BPD are manipulative, in the same way that it's manipulative to scream for help when you're in danger, or for a person with cancer to post a gofundme. Any attempt

BPD is the only illness where the symptoms get filed under personality. Depression gets sympathy because it's legible. you're sad, you're in bed, people get it. BPD presents as behavior. you text too much, you go cold, you block someone, you're fine then you're not. All of it looks like choices. So everyone concludes it's your temperament, and temperament doesn't get flowers.

You will never convince me that people who say they "Hate AFABs" aren't just misogynistic

At this point I'm treating "trans men hang onto their womanhood" and similar statements as a dogwhistle.

I really wonder what y'all think is happening to those trans men who are "allowed" to detransition and why you think it's not also just a lifetime of rape too...

FASCINATING how some of y'all will accuse trans men of being "MRAs" for simply trying to talk about our experiences of oppression as trans men, then turn around & throw out terminology like "afab privilege," which sounds SUSPICIOUSLY close to the MRA belief in "female privilege."

the reality of trans men is enduring sexualization and being taken advantage of for your entire life by the very people you admire and befriend, because to them, a female body is a Chance to take, and flesh to consume and make Theirs, rather than a Human who craves connection.

No we won't examine why our depictions of a "theyfab" involve them having an almost comical large chest, nor how much we are relying on rape & purity culture that sees large chests as "flaunting", puts sexual intention -on- their bodies, this time it's real we swear

Sorry if I come off as a sensitive little jew but I actually really don't like having a term that just means "not Jewish" be misappropriated and turned into nazi speak and then have OTHER gentiles think of it as the funniest shit ever. Like yes it is fucked up I'm not crazy am I

i’ll die by the stance that holding trans men to the actions of cis men despite us having suffered at their hands for years at a minimum will always be transphobic and anti-transmasculine/transandrophobic/whatever it’s called now

researching trans men throughout history has opened my mind to everything trans men have contributed to the world...to medicine, queer/trans rights, women's rights...trans men have made the world a better place yet are never acknowledged in discussions of queer history/liberation
