Break the Cis-tem! End the discrimination against transgender and #nonbinary people and build a society where everyone gets the gender they want.

we have reached the point where under the right circumstances, your fridge can send you to a mental health facility. because it can show you ads. https://eldritch.cafe/@temptoetiam/115661944697746687

I do get frustrated at times with feeling ignored or forgotten as a trans #masc person. That feeling is a deep feeling that will never go away. Needing help and being mocked for asking for it is a symptom of the same society that targets and harasses #trans #femmes for fear of their experiences […]

The more marginalization classes I acquire over time, the less respect and trust I have in doctors and hospitals to have my best interests in mind

Most days i feel like i'm wasting my time by spending so much of it chatting to random strangers in Discord, but then something like today happens. i had 3 different people say that i've helped them in a bipolar disorder support server. This is why i go to such places - so we can all help each […]

Just had my first meeting with a psychologist who is evaluating me to decide if i really and truly am autistic and not just that i think i am. It's a little unnerving. Not that it will really make a difference in my life one way or another, but there's a part of me that has impostor syndrome […]

i have bipolar disorder. For 15 years my mood stabilizer and antidepressant meds barely helped at all and generally left me depressed. Then i spent 10 years on meds that worked well and left me stable and pretty decently happy. At no point did i ever have the common experience of feeling "flat" […]

i'm having a weird moment. The past few days have been absolutely incredible. Quite honestly the best Thanksgiving+weekend i've had in years, maybe ever. i'm feeling happy, i'm feeling at home in my body, i'm feeling connection to others, and yet driving home just now i also started feeling […]

i have a math degree and i use an accounting program to track my finances, so you'd think i would have a good idea how much money i have. You'd think that, but you'd be wrong. i constantly forget to record expenses, or i record them twice, or i record them in the wrong account. So tonight i went […]

Yesterday was amazing! i went to a friends place to just hang out and that's something that i've hardly ever done in my life. i did do that with one person a couple of months ago, and i've had people in my own place a handful of times over the past 7 months, but before that you have to go back […]

This one image has done more to explain bpd to me than anything i have ever read.

i've now played through _1000xResist_ twice and i've gotten all of the acheivements. I've never done 100% acheivements on any game before. This is the first one that ever actually made me _want_ to do so and _want_ to see all possible endings. #1000xresist

Gotta love reading psychology textbooks as someone who's official crazy. Just came across this gem: "A mental illness is considered serious when it impairs daily fucnction or disrupts daily life activities. Serious mental illness includes diagnoses such as major […] [Original post on chaosfem.tw]

i am so alone

i'm having a day of some sort. i'm feeling a little depressed, my executive function is not, and my sound sensitivity is elevated. i went to the pharmacy just now because i needed a refill on a prescription, but CVS has changed their phone system. You can't use it by pressing buttons now. It […]

For those of you who do tech support for your family and friends over Thanksgiving - I'm not even joking: Installing adblockers is one of the best cybersecurity improvements you can do for them. Oh sure, patch their systems, remove bloatware, make sure Windows Defender or whatever is running […]

A friend linked me to this article about an interesting study into detransition and why people actually do it. Turns out, and i know this will shock so many of you, it's complicated and people destransition for lots of different reasons. The study identified 4 different cohorts of […]

If you're new to x-box, you may find some of its buttons confusing, so I made this chart to help you figure it out

This message goes out to all the trans women i know in real life and online. Thank you for sharing your journeys with us! It is such a privilege and blessing to be able to bear witness to the way you are or have transformed your lives. Even as long ago as i myself transitioned, the stories of […]

i once detransitioned. i did it against my will. Well, i was more or less bullied into agreeing to it. It was in the fall of 1989. That previous spring, while at the University of Texas, my egg cracked, and i came out to my parents. My grades were terrible, and my life was really falling apart […]

Regarding my performance of boy gender when i was growing up, i could have gotten two awards at the same time: * Oscar for Best Actress in the Role of a Boy * Razzie for Worst Actress in the Role of a Boy Critics (i.e. parents) thought it was the performance of a lifetime, but audiences […]

@lisamelton You are probably zonked out from post-op pain killers, but i just want you to know i'm thinking about you today. i hope everythign went well!

@moriel also -- if you're not honest with yourself, you can't be honest with anyone else.

AI-generated "evidence" is infecting the legal system. Until judges come down HARD on the the lawyers doing this stuff -- and until some of the lawyers are disbarred -- these sleazebags will poison the system completely […]

A lot of cis people like to say that trans people are "brave", but that often doesn't really hit home for us. Too many of us transition just because we are exhausted by the struggle to fit into the role assigned to us by society. But one thing that we are, and that i always admire in the many […]

i had an experience tonight where i tried to express empathy for someone. i think i upset them instead. i tried to let it go and tell myself that i could clear things up in the morning, but i couldn't let it go. i just lay in bed thinking about what happened, because it's not the first time this […]

1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us. In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward. These are the people I'm remembering today.

i'm feeling depressed today, but commented to someone in response to her post that i'm sentimental enough to abel to "turn on the tears to feel good at the drop of hat". Seeing that made me think i should deliberately try it, so i went into a Discord server where there's a lot of young trans […]

[Sui] I felt awful people hadn’t been nice to her because she was cool as fuck. * sorry I am typing through a lot of stuff in my eyes and I can’t see real well

[Sui] I want to remember my friend Malice today for #transdayofremembrance and I’m not good at this stuff so I will try to post it and not feel uncomfortable and stop it because fae deserves to be remembered. I met her and her husband right after moving to Portland and I was struggling a -lot- […]

i've had 4 times as much caffeine as normal today and i'm still yawning and wanting to go to bed. This sucks

Tonight i am supposed to take the first dose of my yet again increased mood stabilizer. Up to 80mg now as opposed to the 40 i was on until just after my hypomanic episodes in the late summer. But i'm wondering now: when i get hypomanic i become almost extraverted. Maybe what i really need to do […]

1. Texas A&M has voted that Professors must seek out official permission to talk about trans people, sexuality, or race. One of the professors said that the new policy would make routine lessons on things like the Holocaust impossible. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This article (https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-smith-oil-pipeline-9.6985035) is disturbing for all the predictable reasons, but I am going to focus my particular point of annoyance on the 2nd to last sentence in the very last paragraph. ""Haida nation will never stand for it," [Elizabeth […]

Looking for an elder 2SLGBTQI+ person to join my volunteer non-profit board at https://ODLAN.ca. Must be based in Canada, since we serve Canadian non-profits in our community. We're doing some really neat work and are growing our reach and impact every year. Help our 2SLGBTQI+ communities exist […]

i hate being so introverted. i don't know what's really to blame for how i am, but i'm really severely introverted to the point that i have an extraordinarily difficult time talking to people, sometimes even to people i already know well. i'm almost totally dependent on other people to drive any […]

[Introspection - racism and Hawaii / US pol] So I know the answer already. I just want to "own" Hawaii subconsciously as a part of my culture when I genuinely do not have anything to do with Hawaii other than being a US citizen. That label is important bc it lets me travel there and own land […]

[Introspection - racism and Hawaii / US pol] My "white person brain" sees Hawaiians not wanting to be a state and I feel sad because, in my very skewed perspective, we've just failed in being inclusive and embracing American values. In reality, after listening to Hawaiians explain what they've […]

Meanwhile in Catholic schools, the environment is getting even worse for trans and queer people. It never was good to start with but this is horrific. www.them.us/story/ursuli...

1. New Zealand's right-wing govt has banned new prescriptions of puberty blockers in a major concession to its far-right flank. The move was to be announced by the health minister, but the far-right NZ First preempted it, calling it a "win in the war on woke." Subscribe to support our journalism.

I think it's absolutely hilarious that Ben Ryan made me the lede in his story trying to preempt criticism of the wild reveal the HHS report's authors. More on that later. But this is absolutely hilarious.

CVS has changed their phone answering system. It no longer lets you press numbers to indicate what you want. It seems to be using some sort of "AI" speech recognition system and this has me Pissed! The! Fuck! Off! i do NOT like talking to computers. It's degrading and dehumanizing.

i just replayed the final chapter of 1000xResist to get a different ending. i have spent most of the past hour crying. Damn this is such a good story! Also, i really love the catharsis of crying. Call me a stereotypical girl if you want. Guilty as charged on this count. #1000xresist

This past Sunday, just two days ago, i attended a Transgender Day of Remembrance memorial. Today i learn of another trans person, and yes, a Black woman as the statistics would predict, who has been murdered. The list for the coming year has started. #trans #transgender #tdor […]

When i first realized i was a girl i thought perhaps i was misunderstanding myself, but it turns out i was just Miss understanding myself.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@JessTheUnstill/115571044539991645 Taking this thread in a different tangent - in the past I used to think that "girls/women's schools" or "girl scouts" were inherently shitty patriarchal bullshit of "keeping girls pure from boys". But over the years of talking to […]
