it goes without saying that the united states of america must be destroyed

"stop commenting on actress's bodies" nah actually I think I will continue to comment on the fact that since the rise of ozempic every second actress looks like she's about to blow away in a strong wind because I lived through heroin chic and normalised eating disorders and insane body expectations the FIRST fucking time and saw the damage it did so I'm personally not going to stay silent and let choice feminism make extreme weight loss "acceptable" just because tiktok has convinced some of yall that any choice a woman makes is Valid just because she's a fucking woman like are you all fucking serious right now

So much queer discourse is just "i like pancakes" "so you hate waffles?" Type shit

"I believe mspec lesbians are valid" "so you think lesbians just need good dick?"

"I believe trans men can identify as lesbians if they want" "so you think trans men are women?"

"I believe transandrophobia exists" "so you think transfems oppress transmascs?"

No bitch that's a whole new sentence wtf are you talking about

the worst part of having a doctor tell you to "reduce stress" is that it is legitimately impossible for the vast majority of people. quitting your stressful job will result in stressful homelessness, stressful starvation, and stressful poverty. cutting of stressful family and friends will result in stressful loneliness, stressful drama, and stressful accusations. logging off the stressful social media will also result in stressful loneliness, being stressfully out of the loop, and stressful boredom. ignoring stressful politics will result in stressful lack of preparation for stressful curtailing of your personal liberties and stressful cuts to every public service you use. it's impossible to not be stressed unless you're literally some kind of richtok nepo baby, and even those weirdos have the "stress" of managing their servants and deciding which olympic sized swimming pool on their stressfully massive property is better for hosting their stressful sweet sixteens.

really being told to "reduce stress" or that your illness is caused by stress is being told "suck it up and get out of my office. also it's technically your fault for living in the real world"

Edit stop arguing this was a vent about having a neurologist who seems to have graduated from clown school instead of med school, plus i'm a marxist leninist

I'm glad that people are still having fun on tumblr even after we found out about the frightening ghoul that reblogs posts but doesn't say anything

I think we should talk about the transmedicalist idea that "transness is a neurological intersex variation" is explicitly using the standard of intersex medical abuse for the purpose gaining access to medical transition for perisex trans people. This stance directly states that being trans is intersex; and that intersexuality should be treated as a medical problem.

You do not need to reinforce our pathologization to justify your existence.

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.
