Mad Pride Is My Right To Be Unmedicated And Not Have To Fear Being Institutionalized If I Talk About

mad pride is my right to be unmedicated and not have to fear being institutionalized if I talk about my experiences as an insane person

Reblog if you agree students in schools shouldn’t be kicked out of activities, clubs, etc, just because of their gender identity or orientation

You can't call yourself anti-psychiatry or mad pride and then turn around and abuse your community the same way psychiatry does.

I.e you can't fakeclaim people, tell people they're not allowed to reframe their own relationships with a marginalized existence in a way that psychiatry disagrees with, harass people for their cultural or spiritual beliefs, or tell them that their coping methods (so long as they don't hurt anyone, and "your existence might make the rest of us look cringy" doesn't count) are wrong, force labels on them they don't want, speculate on their history and trauma without their consent, or in any way mock them for their mental health or lack thereof.

You cannot call out psychiatry for its abuse of mentally ill people only to lash out at others because you don't understand their complicated relationship with their marginalized identities and complicated experiences. That is hypocrisy, you are hurting marginalized people, and it's objectively against the values and justice behind the mad pride and anti-psyche movements.

Be better.

❝ You got me stressed out and it's not even my girlfriend..”𑁦｡.

the first lesbian i ever knew irl when i was younger was my moms friend who was an ftm lesbian, who did not identify as a woman in any way but fully identified as a lesbian, and was in a triad with two other women who fully accepted him for who he was.

we have been around for a long time, and will continue to be here long after you immature box obsessed baby queers have burned out. being a lesbian is about loving women and being queer, if you can't understand that congratulations on drinking the terf juice.

also its okay to be wrong as long as you don't fucking double down when confronted with the facts like. if you see this post and want to actually interact in good faith with bi or mspec lesbians and lesbians who dont identify as women or "woman-lite", then please do! that's the mature response!

i just want yall to look inside yourselves and really try to figure out why you feel like you should have control over how other people identify. thats the opposite of what being queer means, and i'm not even angry at people who think this way it legitimately just makes me sad?
