Making a new post to condense info: I am a trans woman living in the South, and I'm lucky enough to have gotten in at an informed consent clinic, but I keep losing work and being unable to find new jobs. So I'm asking for donations to pay for my quarterly blood work to keep on HRT and to cover my new patient fee and other bloodwork required by the new personal care physician I'm required to have to keep accessing HRT through a nurse practitioner which my insurance is refusing to cover because the state kicked me off medicaid for being unable to prove my future income as a freelance writer but they didn't file the paperwork and it's taking MONTHS to get this sorted out. (Sorry that was one sentence but it's an irl clusterfuck too)

If you have a buck or two to spare, it would be much appreciated: I don't want to start HRT just to be forced off of it by poverty.

[image description: The first image is a screenshot taken from a CNN article that reads “silencing a lone counter protester” in bold, then in normal text “the person who was most obviously ready to engage in conversation was not a student but a man standing next to the barriers waving an Israeli flag. He said he was not Israeli or Jewish, but a Christian who believed that the God of the Old Testament followed by Jews was the same as his God, the father of Jesus Christ.” The next image is the lower body of a man standing in front of some metal fencing. A few inches away from him is a partial circle going the fence labeled “resident dingus area” in all caps. End image description]

May 4, 2024 - CNN writes about how the mean anti-genocide protesters silenced a lone counter-protester at the University of Pennsylvania:

How did they silence him, you ask? They drew a circle around him in chalk, and labeled it "Designated Dingus Area":

Israel is not twisting the US government's arm to do any of this shit, btw. Like, stop saying that goofy, disingenuous bullshit. We're not "heading towards fascism" we've been here for a while you're just now noticing because it's happening in your face.

A crowdfunding appeal has been launched to help a 29-year-old Black trans woman who lost both her legs after allegedly being thrown onto NYC subway tracks by her boyfriend. A statement from the New York City District Attorney confirms that the victim and her boyfriend were at the Fulton St. station in Brooklyn when the man is said to have seen the oncoming downtown train coming and “thrown” his girlfriend towards the tracks. “The victim was rushed to the hospital, where both of her legs had to be amputated. She also suffered from fractures to her ribs and a blood clot in her lungs,” the statement continues. When the police arrived, they found the woman under the train, reports Into. The woman has since taken part in an interview with trans activist Hope Giselle, and explains that she was on her way to a gender-affirming appointment when she alleges that she and her boyfriend got into an argument and he “threw” her onto the tracks.

If you haven't figured it out from my myriad of reblogs and posts, I have the following thoughts:

- PD peeps are awesome and deserve love. YES, that means cluster B, as well! YES, even us ASPD and our NPD buddies.

- Narc abuse does not exist. That's like me calling that one time my mom threatened me with a frying pan "Cookware abuse."

- Psychopath and Sociopath are NOT accurate diagnostic lingo anymore. All my ASPD buddies (and my ASPD self) have the right to reclaim them, but they are not medical terms!

- DID systems are not going to appear like textbook/media in many, many cases. This does not mean you should fake claim us!

- Endo systems are no skin off my nose; I think it's different than medical DID, but I'm not an authority who can prove without reasonable doubt that ONLY traumagenics can be plural.

- Physical and mental health are often related, but it is never cool to derail a post for one or the other with whataboutism.

- Whataboutism in general tends to irritate the crap out of me, ngl.

- Listen to your marginalized friends! And enemies! Neutral folks! Take in perspectives, let marginalized folks speak for their own experiences, and don't tout one voice as being the spokesperson for all XYZ group. Make your own opinions using critical thinking!

- All posts, even this one, should be taken with a grain of salt. Nuance is complex and difficult, but black and white thinking can be very dangerous.

- I hate "reblog or you're a terrible person!!!" Posts. They fuck with my Moral OCD badly, and make me less likely to reblog, even if I agree with the rest of the message.

- Cats are very cute and very soft and very lovely.

- Horses were a drunken creation, abandoned by any godly pantheon eons ago.

- Pineapple on pizza is neither amazing, nor awful.

when see person using manual wheelchair think might be struggling, and you feel the need to offer help, if they say no- Stop! Don’t keep asking if they’re sure, don’t keep approaching. Especially don’t keep approaching with your hands raised like you still want to put your grubby hands on our wheelchairs. Because what you’re actually more concerned with at that point is your own idea of saviourhood rather than the disabled person’s wants and dignity.
