i hate men who are like "r/femaledatingstrategy will make you realize that femcels are just as bad as incels!!!!!" like i went on the subreddit expecting violent right winger ideology but instead i just see women with standards. women not wanting to be treated like shit in a relationship is the exact same as fucking elliot rodger, i guess.

it wasn’t useful to think of it as “dysphoria” when i had my most recent distress about having breasts. of course that could have been the framework i used to think about it, it “qualified,” and i could fit it easily into that paradigm. but it has been a long time since i believed i was not really female/was desperate not to be female. and for as long as i thought about it as dysphoria, there was a range of things i attached to those feelings as the meaning, possible responses, related issues, ways to understand it. and it became an exercise in something like vivisectioning reality, bargaining. “it’s not that i don’t want to be female, i just want my old body back, which was also female but which did not have these breasts.”

it felt different when instead of dysphoria i thought about it as being upset by having fat. that made the situation plainer. the stakes became obvious. different possibilities opened up for me at that point. i found my rage, and that meant i knew i was worth being angry about, and that meant i found my boundaries, because i realized they had been crossed in a deep way that got into my head without my permission. and from there, i could resist.

According to The Guardian, there is a growing medical consensus supporting the idea that there are three different types of endometriosis, which up until recently had all been treated the same. Though all forms of endometriosis involve tissue similar to that found inside uterine walls growing in other parts of the body, this “errant tissue,” as doctors call it, is not always the primary cause of the pain they experience.

For those with the type of endometriosis that causes painful ovarian cysts, surgery is often the best option. However, new research has found that 80 percent of those who suffer from the disease actually have the superficial form—known as peritoneal endometriosis—and their pain is caused by the ways that nerve endings interact with the tissue, rather than the tissue itself.

Because surgery involves doctors slicing through nerve endings in order to cut out that tissue, it’s likely to cause patients more pain in the long run. Often, doctors attempt these surgeries multiple times.

Scientists have known about the different categories of endometriosis for a decade, but they have only received funding for further research in the past five years. And it is only recently that endometriosis has been taken more seriously: Historically, many doctors have not believed patients who report their pain, despite nearly 40 percent of people with endometriosis reporting pain so severe it has resulted in an emergency room visit, according to a 2020 U.K. study...

It’s so fucked up that women are so universally dismissed and hated in society that nearly every single woman goes through a phase (if not a lifetime) of thinking she isn’t like other women purely because she has rational thoughts, hobbies, feelings, and needs.
