If u gay and on a linear path of self annihilation destroy that reblog button like it’s your sleeping schedule
Am I constantly tired? Yes.
But am I staying awake when I should be sleeping? Also, yes
do you ever just think how men are allowed to look like shit at every second of the day. teenage boys are just allowed to have acne, old men are just allowed to have wrinkles. men can just go outside as they are and be attractive, women do it and they’re ‘sporting a natural look’
imagine if ed sheeran was a woman. he wouldn’t have a career
I’ve rewatched the ad at least three times to try and figure out why some folks are angry with it and I’m at a loss. All I see here is: Be a better human. Set a better example. Encouraging strength of character and integrity over typical “machismo”.
Thank you all so much for 100 followers!!! You are all amazing and I hope you have a great day

“Don’t use your mental illness as an excuse” means “Change your behavior, apologize, and do better next time.”
“Don’t use your mental illness as an excuse” DOES NOT mean “Your symptoms are your fault, your disorder is not even an explanation, and you are a bad person if you behave less than neurotypical”
Ok but as a dysphoric trans man the whole ‘you need dysphoria to be trans’ actually baffles me because even tho I’ve always had severe dysphoria, it didn’t actually help me figure out my gender at all. I usually dismissed my dysphoria as ‘internalized misogyny’ or just not being feminine enough, which actually just caused me worse dysphoria.
You know what made me figure out that I’m trans though? Gender euphoria. The minute I got called a ‘sir’ is the moment that I realized, “shit this feels right.” And at that point I realized that I could no longer deny the fact that I’m not a woman and that I couldn’t keep living as one.
Here’s a hot take: maybe being trans isn’t so much about how uncomfortable you can be in your DGAB, but rather how much more comfortable you can be.
Trans woman chiming in to second this.
I was dysphoric since at least the onset of puberty, but it took me until age 36 to realize I was trans, and it wasn’t the dysphoria that made me realize it. I even knew that what I felt sounded exactly like what dysphoric trans people described. But I dismissed it as self-loathing, depression, unhappiness with my body type.
And just like OP, the dysphoria isn’t how I realized I was trans. That feeling of “this is right, this is what I want” is how I realized I was trans. The realization that wanting to be trans and being trans are the same thing. Only then did it become clear. Only then was I able to start transitioning. And only then did my dysphoria begin to break.
