Why Does Being Queer Have To Be So Fucking Hard? I Can’t Talk To My Parents About Anything Because

quick question where do y’all get your kinesiology tape from? For kinesiology purposes, not anything nefarious like chest binding. ;^)

The curse of being intelligent is that you wish you were dead 😔

so much of viktor's obsession with the glorious evolution was rooted in hatred and dissatisfaction of his own body. it's only when jayce tells him that he doesn't see him as someone needing to be fixed, but beautiful in his imperfection that viktor is able to let go of that mission. ohhhhhhhh it's so good

HE WAS IN THE BIRD. HE WAS IN THE FUCKING BIRD THE WHOLE TIME. OH MY FUCK.

Hi Miss Thorn.

I was recently reading through your trans writes article about you choosing not to do PR for the NHS. In one line you mention that the medical system "exaggerates or wholly confabulates" certain medical risks, and I was wondering if you could give more of an explanation or some examples about that stuff. I tried looking it up on my own but I didn't really know what keywords to search for, and I don't want to fall into some weird anti-science conspiracy theory rabbithole (especially at a kind of vulnerable part of my transition where I'm finally giving "doing hormones" more serious thought as a Thing I Would Actually Do rather than an idle fantasy where the results magically "fix" me (or a kind of anxiety where it doesn't do anything of value at all :< )

Thank you regardless for your great videos over the years,

Sure! So, I would argue that the Cass Review is a prime example of this phenomenon. It concluded that puberty blockers have caused zero documented cases of harm as long as they've been used in Britain, but they might cause some unknown kind of harm in the future, somehow; a harm that hasn't been detected in any of the other countries who have used them, whose evidence - by the way - was discarded.

So we have no evidence of past harm, no idea what a future mystery harm might be, when it might happen, the mechanism for it, or why it would only show up here, now, and not in any of the other countries who have given trans kids blockers previously...

This is clearly making shit up!

And yet the Cass Review was used to justify a ban on blockers.

The only way this makes sense is if by "harm" they mean "being trans." Cass expressed particular concern that most kids who start on blockers go on to medically transition, which - yeah duh? But whereas a normal person views this as a neutral fact about the world, transphobes see it as bad - they see being trans as a bad or dangerous thing to be - and so they want to make people "avoid it" as much as possible.

This is what I mean when I say pathologization exaggerates or in some cases outright fabricates risks of medical transition to justify restricting our bodily autonomy under the guise of "care."

I consulted the cards and they told me I don’t have to clean my bathroom today :/ sorry mom

this is what i offer you blue very much on the outside is manic pixie dream girl but gansey is a manic pixie dream in his heart

kinder than man

And God please let the deer on the highway get some kind of heaven. Something with tall soft grass and sweet reunion. Let the moths in porch lights go someplace with a thousand suns, that taste like sugar and get swallowed whole. May the mice in oil and glue have forever dry, warm fur and full bellies. If I am killed for simply living, let death be kinder than man.
