Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by
Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.
You. Are. Overstimulated.
People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took
me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.
These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.
Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time
Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!
wish you guys would hate norway for the intense medical transphobia the way you hated swedes for not feeding people. we couldnt get a legal gender marker change without forced sterilisation until 2016. theres 1 board in 1 hospital in the whole country that's allowed to give HRT and they go by 1950s gender roles (i.e. if you're a trans man who wears nail polish, or a trans woman who wears pants, or you're gay, you're denied), and there's a minimum of a full year of psychological evaluations before any treatment is given (they ask helpful and relevant questions like "did you play with cars or dolls as a child" and "do you think about your parents when you masturbate"). anyway burn down rikshospitalet
[ID: tumblr tags that read #i hope im not deflecting when i say this happens in other countries as well #i'm german and it's basically the same here. forced chemical sterilization was required to change your gender marker until 2011 #and if self-id doesn't pass we will continue to have to put up with insane amounts of medical gatekeeping #it's disgusting and dehumanizing and i need more people to talk about this #it's a widespread issue that countries that have a rep for being progressive don't get criticized enough. end ID]
you're absolutely not deflecting, this is super important. so many european countries claim equality and good healthcare while also actively killing trans populations with medical neglect and gatekeeping.
we are being murdered by our governments. they are refusing us life saving medical care. we NEED more people to talk about this
[image description: three images. the first is a blank tumblr blog with the description, "not a TERF but I do believe in their beliefs //." the second image is a screenshot containing the text, "I'm not Count Olaf," Count Olaf said," and the third is a screenshot of a reblog on a tumblr post where user aryanprincess1488 has said, "bitch [caps] where did I ever say I was a Nazi [end caps]." end image description]
Sarah Jane Baker, the trans woman who was arrested for saying "punch terfs" at London Pride, is now on hunger strike and refusing all food and fluids until she is moved to a women's prison.
Just so we're clear, moving her to a women's prison would be the bare fucking minimum the state could do. She shouldn't be in prison at all, the police and parole board only changed their decision not to arrest her due to pressure from the Home Office. Once again, Suella Braverman is an overreaching authoritarian piece of shit.
fuck "girl lunch" fuck "girl math" a woman is a hairy animal who sweats and grunts and excretes and hungers and gets wrinkly and dies eventually. you have to love that.
ppl are tagging this post with things like 'ooh i want to meet a woman like this' or with specific characters which kind of misses the point i was trying to make. ALL WOMEN ARE LIKE THIS. IT STANDS IN CONTRAST TO NOTHING. WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND IT.
