I hope people understand that being a transmedicalist is putting a fucking knife into the back of every pre-HRT trans person.
Turns out that supporting a bunch of anti-trans propaganda designed to keep our medicine away from us in a system that subjects us to emotional trauma is bad for the trans community.
Truscum told me I wasn’t trans, mocked me, and told me I was a faker who didn’t need HRT. That was 8 years ago when I was just starting to consider I might be trans.
That shoved me back into the closet for half a fucking decade, during which my mental health was in sharp decline.
When I came into contact with so-called “tucute” (aka fucking normal healthy trans people with healthy self-concepts) spaces I finally got the confidence to go on HRT and my mental health has been steadily improving since then.
I almost killed myself several times between the two events, something that seems utterly unbelievable to me in my current, improved condition.
This is not a unique story. Transmedicalism kills trans people.
If people are interested in HRT the chances are that they’re trans. It’s that simple.
Statistics about trans regret are often (A) not put into context seeing as the WPATH standard is almost perfectly designed to cause people to regret being trans and (B) we live in a society that doesn’t want trans people to exist and punishes us for it.
Maybe instead of siding with the oppressors and agreeing that we’re just children who need the paternal institutions of our society to protect us from ourselves you should actually grow a spine and stand up for the well-being of trans people and our right to access vital healthcare.
The way I realised I was trans was learning about gender euphoria and non binary genders. I ended up realising I was binary and have gender dysphoria, but had it not been for “tucutes” i don’t know if i would’ve figured out i’m trans yet.
This is going to require I go to Seattle and stay overnight for a D&E.
I don’t have medicaid, and have no way to apply for it before hand, as I have no proof of residency in the state of Washington, since I just moved here 3 months ago, and have no bills in my name.
This means I will probably have to pay out of pocket for a hotel stay, and whatever my parents insurance won’t cover. (I’m not sure if they’ll cover anything, but I’m going to try and bill through them to buy some time.)
So, I need the funds to cover an overnight hospital stay in Seattle, all of the medical care I’ve received from the obgyn here in BH, and the abortion in Seattle.
I’m not going to estimate those costs, off the top of my head other than the hotel stay.
The overnight hotel stay alone will probably cost me a minimum of $100. They require I stay in a hotel within 30 minutes of the clinic in case something goes wrong during the overnight dilation, so that price may vary. I’ll be calling them tomorrow, after I take some more time to, be able to say this stuff aloud without. Crying.
I’d appreciate any help you can give at this time, and I’ll update this post with a cost estimate once I get one.
YouTube’s algorithm…I mean yes this is about flat-earthers, and we all like to laugh about them, but something has to be said about the fact that conspiracy theories are spread so easily to impressionable youth at a GLOBAL scale. And its not just flat-earthers, it’s Naziism, it’s anti-Semitism, islamophobia, it’s all the terrible radicalization that is happening. It’s all connected, and it’s so so easy to become radicalized because of YouTubes algorithm.
They do this for just about anything, too. Even if you watch overtly left-wing videos they will recommend hard-right video and conspiracy theorists to you. I got a white supremacist creator recommended to me from watching a Bernie Sanders interview.
They run hard-right ads over Left-wing creators now, too. Over a Majority Report video I got an ad for an “anti-PC,” pro-Trump news network. LGBTQ creators I watch are consistently getting gay conversion therapy ads played over them.
The Right loves to scream censorship when they get warning for using racial slurs or demonitized for pushing conspiracy theories, but the Left get hits just as hard if not harder on social media.
This happens even in videos where the title and subject matter do not make it immediately obvious. Watch any videos about video games? Prepare to be recommended videos that start on somewhat valid video game criticism and somewhere in the middle slide right into “GAMES ARE BEING RUINED AND IT’S ALL THE FAULT OF FEMINISM AND THE ESS JAY DOUBLE YEWS!” Nazis are going hard for that demographic and the shit is everywhere.
so in psychology class we got to learn why foot fetishes are so prevelant! basically your brain stores the structural information for your body generally in the correct order (i.e. the info for your ears is stored next to the info for the head, which is stored next to the neck, etc.) BUT. The info for the feet is stored right next to the info for the genitalia and so sometimes these two sections of information can overlap and make you wanna lick some toes
