@arina_artemis__ Authoritarianism.

"Hey."
The voice comes from behind me. I turn around, and there is nothing there. Literally nothing.
"It's me, the Void."
"Hi," I say.
"Are you okay? Only, you haven't come to scream for a while."
I gesture helplessly.
"I know," the Void says. "But if you need me..."
"Thanks."

re: Seeking Intersex/XXY groups/resources 

@SpaceKitteh I'm not sure if I'm XXY or Androgen insensitive or Both, but I feel you on a different outlook and journey than most trans folks.

this is not the first time conservatives have exploited disease to further their ideological aims nor will it be the last

they wanted aids to wipe us out during the 80s

things I learned in sex ed when I was a kid:
❌ consent is important
❌ consent is never implied
❌ anything about consent
❌ anything about women's sexual health (it was sex segregated)
❌ you might be gay
❌ you might be trans
❌ it is normal or ok to have sex for reasons besides making a baby
✅ STDs will RUIN your life!!
✅ here's how you put a condom on a banana

re: death of pet 

@budgiebin@snouts.online He was a good bird and he is missed.

It is a commonly held belief among older preppers,

that the younger generations will be devastated by a global pandemic,

because we’re weak from a lifetime of hand washing and video games

This appears to not be the case

@byttyrs In my case it was TERFY aunts telling me to my face that if you're born male, you can't be a Witch or use that sorta magic.

Shows what they know. I specialize in Unicorn Rehab now.

I can't believe I forgot to post Naux tinkering around in a mech here! It's SUCH A GOOD MECH too

re: covid-19, personal griping followed by hot take 

@Thaminga It's the boomers freaking out because they've socially isolated themselves already and are a 'Vulnerable Population'

Their panic isn't just about their Health: It's over their 401k.

@mint@elekk.xyz Samuel R. Delany is a little known black author who's seminal work 'Nova' holds up even today as a piece of spectacular space-opera from an era dominated by White Men and includes modern-day diversity as well as themes applicable to today's issues.

Not specifically Young Adult, but then again neither is Dune. And yet I'd encourage anyone to read Both.

re: mh (-) 

@lemememeringue If you're having these problems with all-or-nothing self esteem, it's the Root of this issue.

And it's more of a Memetic Condition than a Genetic one. It can be passed on thru trauma. I just had to dig out a bunch of bad personality traits out of a Long Dormant alter, who'd been made to feel so shit about what he is that he crawled into a Hole 20 years ago and tried to Die.

Gender, plurality 

One of the issues with my Upbringing is that it left a part of me feeling decidedly transmasculine.

But in a 'I never wanted This' kinda way. Roshael is so much happier on HRT, He's Hypermasculine, sure...

But he started out wanting to be a Girl, and had that notion thoroughly squashed by Life, and hormonal profiles.

So now I've woke up part of me, got his trauma addressed, got his self-confidence back. This is Good.
The fact that he's something like Dragon Rasputin and Duke Nukem at the same time is a challenge however.

re: drug references 

@orangelamp @Absolutely_Blakely@radical.town And counterfeit drugs under pharma patents are too.

I.E., Shire US inc. makes Adderall. A Dextroamphetamine. That's Legal because the federal government says it is.

Freelance labs making drugs are Illegal because the federal government says so.

It's all arbitrary.
