@BathysphereHat Transphobic people will unfortunately respond that it foesn't matter and that trans people deserve to be depressed for trying to be of a gender other than the one assigned at birth 😞 @BathysphereHat I think I said something similar to @hackermatic when she came out to me almost a decade ago. Like, I wished any antidepressant I tried was nearly so effective for my own depression….um, turns out HRT was exactly that effective for me as well 😅 would seem (I'm not an expert) to provide strong support for a reduction in sucides after GAC I was looking at pictures of Moon Rover, and why is he so fucking baby? Like uwaaaaa, look a himmmm! #cats Please observe two of my #cats, Moon Rover and Batman Sounds, when the latter was just a little baaaaaby. I scrambled an egg for Grimdark. This is the most unimpressed anyone has ever been with a lovingly home cooked meal. #cats #CatsOfMastodon I gave Moon Rover a couple pats, said "Hello my little bastard terrorist!" and he rolled over so I could pet his tummy while looking at me with his big, shiny eyes. This is why he gets away with murder. #cats #CatsOfMastodon I'm really tired of people acting like transphobia just doesn't happen to transmasc and transandrogynous folks. @BathysphereHat Thank-you! It does. We just don't talk about it very much. Because people don't like to believe us. There was a study, and it's actually pretty equal in the hate-crime ratio for transfem and transmasc. The reason it's not talked about very much is because transmen especially feel ashamed if it happens to us. Like "less of a man" if we talk about it. So it goes unreported. Which is so sad. One time, when I was a kid, I went to my friend's house and kissed her cat, and my friend was like "Ewww, you kissed the cat?" Fucked up behaviour on her part tbh. The idea that fat people can't be raped is not only disgustingly fatphobic, it also shows a fundamentally misunderstanding of what rape is about. Rape is not about having sex with someone you're attracted to. It's about power. It's about violence. It's about hurting someone. |
