part of being an ally to trans men is not being a dick to cis men for their appearance btw

Being physically disabled really interferes with your ability to get mental health help. One of the biggest barriers to me doing voluntary inpatient when I'm in crisis is my wheelchair.

If you call for help the ambulance (or in some cases police) who come to transport you often aren't able to take a wheelchair. Ambulances usually don't have wheelchair ramps. If your chair is too big or too heavy they'll definitely leave it behind, sometimes they leave it behind even if it's easy to bring.

I get free transportation to medical care through my insurance so I could use that. However, my issues don't stop once I arrive at the door. Mental health professionals aren't trained to deal with physically disabled people. They don't know the difference between giving up and accepting your limits. They don't know not to push us to "get better". Especially with my illness being contested I worry I'll be denied accomodations for my disability. I worry I'll have my wheelchair taken away, be forced to stand and walk, be forced to exercise, and not allowed to rest. This is something no one should have to worry about, but it doesn't change the fact that a lot of inpatient programs get away with abusing and ignoring the needs of patients.

Physical disability really brings out a lot of issues with current inpatient programs, mainly that they assume patients are non-compliant for no reason even when the patient is there voluntarily. Inpatient would be much safer for physically disabled people if mentally ill people, regardless of how unable they seem as far as making medical decisions for themselves, could say "that's going to hurt me" or "that's not going to help me" about a particular treatment and be believed.

I think more people need to acknowledge how transmascs being told to shut up about our oppression mirrors the stereotyping we go through as submissive individuals, which mirrors the misogyny cis women face. Does "shut up and look pretty" ring a bell to anyone?

The queer community as a whole has never seen us as real men, we're cis men's "better" counterpart because we're submissive, we're weak, we're fragile. We're all the things misogyny says women are, because they still see us as womanly. I'm so often forced into a submissive role because of my existence as a trans man, even within the queer community. I'm forced into these roles that have been historically stereotyped as women's roles because I am still conceptualized as being a woman. And so often I am afraid to stand up for myself within queer spaces because I know once people stop seeing me as a submissive (womanly) trans man I become a problem. Because dominance is associated with manliness. Dominance means I've accepted fully the mantle of being a man and that means I am now scary. I am now a problem. I am now a danger. I cannot be angry, I cannot be hurt, because if a trans man shows anger, he becomes scary. I am no longer the queer standing up against oppression, I am an angry man, which is a monster to be feared.

Now, people seem to believe misogyny is only directed at women. Cis women experience misogyny because they are women. Trans women experience misogyny because they are women. However, people can't accept that trans men face misogyny even as trans men (or cis men experiencing it, as a matter of fact). To other people, once we take the term "man" to refer to ourselves, we've lost our ability to experience misogyny. Because not only are we no longer women, we have renounced womanhood. We are the "Least Woman" (as cis men could discover they're actually trans women!). Which ultimately makes it taboo to say that we're still treated as women, we still experience misogyny, even within queer spaces. If people believe we are the Least Woman, how can we experience misogyny? How can people treat us like women?

And yet... if people don't treat us like women, if we don't act like women, we aren't allowed within their spaces. Queer and non-queer alike.

Anyway, rant over. Have a good one. Sending love and positive vibes to all you queer and non-queer folks out there.

many of you need to be asking yourself “would this statement be homophobic coming from the mouth of a conservative?” and then the followup “why do i think my identity absolves me of this?” . i am talking specifically about your comments about gay men btw

I have the increasing urge to make a satire TikTok account where I make edits of joe biden and trump to Chappel Roan songs

Bonus:

Caring what people think of me is crazy cuz’ tell me why I’m thinking about how others perceive me when the way they perceive me isn’t even something I’m gonna experience, like, that’s they’re experience and I’m ruing mine for theirs?

I don’t need to be attractive. I just need to be myself. A manic pixie dream boy with a love of the forest.

I forgot to tal my meletonin ind now I can’t sleep

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.
