Realised that I made this over the course of a few days back in September inspired by a post from @binary-bird and the works of classical composers (Dmitri Shostakovich specifically) but never posted it anywhere! Thought it's time to share it, so I touched it up, added a few things and boom! All I ask is that this please not be reposted anywhere else, thank you!
see the thing abt sysmeds is that they sound exactly like the people a few years ago whining that you cant be trans without having dysphoria. its like these people think you have to be miserable all the time to be "valid". but i dont have (a lot) of dysphoria! i love being a system! i love my headmates!
also, they put way too much trust and confidence in the medical field and what they say right now but things like that always change and update and the medocal field has HISTORICALLY been racist and sexist and a whole bunch of other shit. the dsm is not the fucking bible. there are things in the dsm that are wrong, or things that should be in the dsm that arent.
and why do you need a book to tell you not to harrass someone???
[ID: Two quotes. The first reads, “‘Listen, Razumikin,’ Raskolnikov began quietly and, it appeared, in a state of total calm. ‘Are you really unable to see that I don’t want your good deeds? And what is this desire of yours to do good deeds for people who… spit upon them?’” The second reads, “Dorian Gray turned slowly around, and looked at him with tear-dimmed eyes. “It is too late, Basil,” he faltered. / “It is never too late, Dorian. Let us kneel down and try if we cannot remember a prayer. Isn’t there a verse somewhere, ‘Though your sins be as scarlet, yet I will make them white as snow’?” / “Those words mean nothing to me now.”” End ID.]
