Mutuals Who Arent Doing Too Well Rn I Am Hugging You So Tightly And Telling You That I Love You + Everything

mutuals who aren’t doing too well rn i am hugging you so tightly and telling you that i love you + everything is going to be okay <333

the thing is like. i get that it's scary and makes people who do desire to get pregnant uncomfortable when we talk about the brutality and violence of pregnancy and the damage that pregnancy can do to your body

but you deserve to give informed consent to that process.

the lies around pregnancy - that it's inherently safe, that it doesn't do you permanent damage, that it's only extremely rare for people to die of pregnancy complications, etc like

all of these are lies constructed so that more people will get pregnant w/o knowing all that

there needs to be more talk about the impact of miscarriages and how common they are, how different abortion processes are and how accessible they are

but also like. talking about how pregnancy fucks your body up should not be taboo

this is a process that permanently changes most people's bodies, and that's even if the pregnancy doesn't do them like. severe illness or injury

and i just think everybody should have a right to KNOW that

bc to live in a society that intentionally obscures and hides facts about a completely optional and dangerous process does so for a reason, and that reason is based in a very sinister ideology that does not value bodily autonomy or informed consent

did going on t make you gain weight? asking because a quick google gave me somewhat conflicting results and I'd really like to have something to look forward to (gaining weight, that is)

it did, but t weight gain fluxtuates from person to person, i was fat before t and didn’t gain all too much more, mostly it just redestributed and started going more into my belly than my ass and thighs lol. i know for a lot of guys the main weight difference they get is muscle mass. t does make your appitite a lot bigger, so you will be eating more and probably gain a bit through that. i’ve never intentionally gained weight so i don’t have the best advice but i wish you the best with it 👍 i will say a lot of the body type changes take a looooong time (4ish years for me before it was strongly noticable) but they are worth it

I get it, I really do, but I feel like ppl w decision paralysis related to Gazans are also suffering from a kind of non-malignant egotism

"who do I decide to give it to? everyone needs help! I can't help them all!"

You're not the only person they're asking!!!!!

If you choose one person to help that day, a bunch of other ppl choose others

stopping to overthink your inflated importance as an individual versus one in many is what's giving you paralysis

the more you burden yourself as an incapable hero the less you all act as a group-- which is the exact answer you're looking for

fkn close your eyes, scroll on OOB and donate to whoever you click on first

you're not god, it's not your job to save everyone

JUST DO SOMETHING
