i went to get my t-shot yesterday and it took me an hour and a half to get to the clinic and as soon as i got on the bed the nurse dropped my t-shot and it broke and now they're trying to make me pay for the replacement. i think the fuck not lmao

#why should i have to pay money because SOMEONE ELSE dropped my medication!!! make it make sense #also they kept referring to 'the medicine that got broken' please drop that youtuber apology line and lose the passive voice #it did not 'get broken' YOU BROKE IT #madness. utter madness.

It's honestly crazy that discussion around testosterone HRT skews so much towards the beginning stages of it (to the point that you have dozens of guys thinking their transition is "failed" if they don't pass by like a year in lol) and what the initial changes of the first couple of months to years look like, like the classic laundry list of those early basic changes like bottom growth, voice drop, etc, when IMO literally none of that compares remotely to the depth and intensity of the long term total masculinization you start to experience like 3-5+ years in.

#also has made it increasingly difficult to relate to those early into their transition honestly #like not in a bitter way it’s just like hard to express how diff the experience is #of being like a year on T vs 5 😭#ETA I muted this post ages ago now but fwiw seeing transphobes pop up in the notes on occasion just to say cruel reactionary shit #you are clowns I cannot imagine seeing a post that is ONLY about discussing with folks about the reality of a medication #and choosing to make that your moment to get a schoolyard bully jab in about how you find it gross or something.#you are less well adjusted than most children. may the universe be kinder to you than you are to others.

Reminder that Palestinians in Gaza are being deliberately starved by Israel. Families in gaza are boiling plant leaves and eating them. They're also eating animals and birds food to stay alive. There are reported cases of kids and infants who died out of hunger and/ or cold. Starving people is part of genocide too. Remember how fast medicine was provided for the Israeli hostages, while Palestinians are starving for food and water and getting operations and amputations performed with no medication or anesthesia whatsoever.

#now before anyone says anything i think it's important that hostages get their medicine but i also think Palestinians should too #israel is fully capable of providing medication and food but chooses not to and that's what I'm talking about #palestine #gaza #israel #important #current events #free palestine #ethnic cleansing #free gaza #gaza strip #gaza under attack

//the callout shit

I’ve just read your response-to-callout doc and I’m. I cannot express how sorry I am that that happened to you, that it still fucking keeps happening.

The fucking “they’ve made a response, I don’t care, the fact that they were accused means that (don’t remember what exactly they said). Holy shit.

As well as everything. All of it is so fucking horrible. I’m so fucking sorry.

I admire you so much. I have not known you/about you for long, it was later than the latest update of the doc, but I admire you so much.

The ways in which you have written the response and addressed everything and everyone honestly amaze me.

I’m so so so so fucking sorry that it was/is happening.

Also, I’m the same anon who was asking abt paraphilia/paraphilic disorder distinction, and I want to apologise in advance if the second ask (the response to your response to my first ask) has made your uncomfortable in any way.

I’ll use an “🐳🐀” signature in future asks, okay? Two at once because any one might have another user somewhere on tumblr already, and also I’m still scared that it can get misused, that somebody might pretend to be me to hurt you, so, please know, that I will never send harassment, I will never believe unchecked accusations.

I also have a thing to ask of you.

//self-o/ff and specific ways of it without the specifics of them, psych ward mention

In the original section with screenshots of anon harassment you’ve gotten, there is an anon that suibates you to take a specific amount of a specific medication.

Please censor the name and the number. Probably preferably both.

I know you already have a warning on that section that it contains descriptions of specific sui/ci/de methods, but please, I’m really asking you to do it for specifically that one.

Because a person has tweeted about a person successfully committing with a specific dose of a specific med, I knew exactly what to do, and would have done it if I hadn’t already been institutionalised at the peak of that episode (but I began to think about specifically that way earlier than the institutionalisation). When I have later written about that on Twitter, asking people to not say what and how much has the person taken, it blew up, and at least one person made a reply that the same thing, over literally the same tweet, happened to them.

I already knew which way to sl/it wr/ists. But this one thing was the one that would have killed me for certain.

(context)

Thank you so much. ;-; I really appreciate this - the support means so much to me.

I’ve been doing a lot better recently!! The harassment has died down, and I’m back to writing again, and things are good. 🥺 But yeah… I very literally have trauma from these last several months. I’ve noticed trauma responses as strong or stronger than the ones I currently have from my childhood sexual abuse (probably just because it’s more recent and I've been doing work on the CSA trauma for years, but still). So that’s messed up.

Your asks didn’t make me uncomfortable at all!! I just wish I could give you better answers. I wish you luck and insight as you learn about this stuff.

Aww, whale rat anon! Thank you so much for reassuring me. I really appreciate that.

And thank you for thinking of that, with censoring the message. I’m so sorry you went through what you did. I’ll go censor it! That section is definitely less polished than the rest, just because I had trouble spending time on it. ^^’ I really hope no one’s been hurt by it already.

Edit: update, it's censored now!

The other day I told a friend of mine that I never forget to take my ADHD meds because I fucking love my ADHD meds. I'm in my late 30s, I didn't finally get a diagnosis and meds until less than two years ago, and they have changed my entire life.

And he raised his eyebrow at me. We'd been discussing addictive medications a few minutes before, like the Tramadol I finally got from the pain specialist to take once a week or so to give me a break from my chronic pain, so I reassured him that methylpenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) is not addictive (at least not in people with ADHD).

His response? To raise his eyebrow even harder and say "Well it sure SOUNDS like it's addictive!"

And I had to explain to this man - who works in a healthcare related job by the way - that just because medication makes you feel good and helps you, just because you look forward to taking it, that doesn't make it addictive or dangerous. And he wasn't convinced.

The simple fact that I was excited to take a daily pill that has literally changed my life, after decades of fighting to get that medication, made him think I shouldn't be taking it so often. That it must inherently be dangerous.

I'm not even in America, but I'm pretty sure this attitude began there and then spread over here to Europe. This Puritan idea of "if something feels good, you must beware of it. Pleasure is dangerous, it is sinful, it is addiction, it is evil."

I know too many people who subconsciously believe that pleasure = addictive = dangerous = bad. Joy is a slippery slope to hell.

So here is your reminder for today that you don't need to be afraid of feeling good. If something improves your life, use it. Even if it is addictive - learn what that addiction means, whether the addiction is inherently dangerous or not, and whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and risks.

My ADHD meds are, in fact, not addictive. But I will take them every day because they make my life orders of magnitude easier. I will enjoy them every time I take them.

My tramadol is addictive. I will still take it. I will keep it on a schedule to avoid becoming addicted, primarily because addiction in this case would mean reduced effectiveness. But I am not afraid of my painkillers. They are life changing.

Take your meds, everyone. Don't let anyone scare you away from doing something that improves your life.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?
