my therapist will say stuff like “maybe limit your news intake when it starts making you depressed and anxious” which is normal advice, but i’m like no you don’t get it, The News is also where i hang out with my friends

there’s a scene where he’s playing tennis in a sports bra and really enjoying his own boobies. thinking about women who get mastectomies for gender affirming purposes, and realizing there are men getting breast implants for the same reason

if you want to participate in a community, you need to practice approaching people in good faith, understanding that people make mistakes, and internalizing the fact that not everyone is trying to hurt you on purpose
when a guy is 6 months on T he’s going to tweet something like “outing myself in the public mens room by washing my hands 😂” and we just have to let him. it’s annoying but it’s a rite of passage
