miss the days where you could just say you have a fragile constitution and people would give you patent medicines filled with opium. these days you gotta explain your specific genetic disorder to people on the subway and beg your doctor for 800mg ibuprofen
i know i'm not "conventionally attractive" but once you're comfortable in your skin, kind, and funny it doesn't really matter that you look a little weird. i transitioned so i could look like a weird little dude and i'm more than happy with it
one time we had this regular at one of the trader joe's i worked at who got scurvy. like a man, on land 24/7. not some pirate on a sailing ship in 1700. he got scurvy. and i was like yeah jared* that makes sense i literally never see you buying anything but the mini meatballs
thinking of how i came out to my grandma and she was like "well didn't every woman have and enjoy sexual encounters with other women?" and i was like "NANA????"
the weird fearmongering about how testosterone will make u bald, hairy, changes your fat distribution etc, i think we need to challenge why we think those things are bad. yeah it's scary to not know what changes u may have from hormones but was first puberty not also like that?
i love posting my proud skinny to fat timeline because i LOVE being fat and hate seeing everyone post their "glow ups" where they lost 50 pounds. like i'm happy for you or whatever but being fat can also be good
I found out today that in the 1800s they tried calming down mania patients by putting them in a big chair swing and spinning them around very quickly until they passed out
i feel like this isn't common knowledge, so i would like to share something: if u see someone w a mobility aid, be it cane, crutch, walker, wheelchair, pls try to avoid forcing us on to sidewalk grates. they can make us very unstable, and canes/crutches can get caught in them!!

my twitter account is for autistics, transgenders, schizophrenics, drug addicts, strippers, ancient mystics, virgin priestesses, girls who vape, boys who go grocery shopping, and danny devito
i don't get fetishized for being trans anymore because i only fuck trans people and they fetishize me for other things, like my red hair or my new england accent or the fact that i'm really annoying. happy pride!
*voice so horny it should be illegal* men should NOT have long hair no man should have shoulder length hair it doesn't look good someone should try to prove me wrong i'm a visual learner
in 2021 i wrote about my father's death and what it meant for me as a survivor of CSA at his hands. i decided to update and republish the essay, that you can read here:
spooky season doesn't end on halloween. all of winter is spooky. nights are longer, buildings creak and groan, radiators rattle, it's unsettlingly quiet..... winter is terrifying. in the best way
thinking about how someone i know said they never invited me to the club/shows because i "wouldn't be able to handle it" due to my disabilities. my brother in christ i'm in the pit swinging my cane around my head helicopter style
i don't understand how people can just... not wanna do things for their friends? it's okay if it's beyond your abilities or whatever but i see so much shit on here that's like "don't do things for your friends that may be slightly difficult"
