Do you think starting testosterone at 16 is too young? Is the person too “immature,” are they still “questioning?”

The reason I ask this is when I set myself up with a therapist, my mother was very supportive, and said I can start T if I get a letter from the therapist. The doctor and I decided…

Just let her spew her crap and try to pay her as little mind as you can, and look after yourself the best you can. There isn’t really anything you can say to a person when they are in that state to convince them or make them see where you are coming from. She might think about it to herself and get to where she will let you start the T before turning 18, but if she doesn’t, when you are 18, you won’t need her approval anymore.

MY BODY IS REVOLUTIONARY

I need more of this in my life.

“FtX” I like that. I like that a lot.

What this actually means is “I’m going to scream ‘child abuse’ to try to stop your kid from exerting agency in a way I don’t approve of”.

Puberty suppression isn’t given to kids on the parents’ whims. It isn’t given on the doctor’s whims. It’s given because the kid asked for it. Actually, that might be better said, given the levels of cissexism a trans kid would be expected to deal with, it’s given because the kid fought for it.

Calling “child abuse” on giving the kid a necessary medical treatment that they fought for because you don’t approve of it is beyond disgusting.

8 year old girl of color gets a humiliating award from her teacher.

rosa—sparks:

dumbthingswhitepplsay:

So. If I am to understand this, a BROWN, EIGHT YEAR OLD CHILD, who had difficulty with her schoolwork and was enrolled in an after-school homework program was mocked, MOCKED by her OWN TEACHER for DOING POORLY. She was even given an award for being a poor student!

HAHAHAHA, ISN’T THAT HILARIOUS?!

Let’s run through this, shall we?

All you assholes may be able to blame her parents, her family, her household because whatever shitbaggy reason you think, but the reality is,

Her TEACHER, regardless of her OWN personal failings as an educator, which are on serious display, is supposed to HELP REMEDY the situation.

That’s right. HELP, not SHAME AND EMBARRASS.

BUT.

Welcome to Arizona. The only place where they would like to outlaw RACE and send you to the fucking glue factory if you aren’t white and Christian.

If you are unable to understand the evident racism and grotesqueness of this, then you are a. illiterate, b. devoid of any understanding of cultural constructs. and, c. A MOTHERFUCKING TABLE.

This isn’t about familial responsibility. This is about compassion and an elementary school teacher’s responsibility to assist a child if they are struggling. 

THE FUCKING END.

Erika Moen’s Tumblr: Things to remember

bzedan:

• You don’t owe anything to the people who created you by smashing cells together.
• A bully is a bully and emotional mistreatment is abuse.
• Don’t let a dictionary definition of what “family” is guilt you.
• Love those who love you and are worthy of your love.

I mean seriously, if hearing someone’s voice for 30 seconds auto-triggers nausea and baseless guilt, then you have every right to question why they should exist in your life.

I choose to not respond.

About two years ago I cut off all contact with one of my parents; blocked them from being able to access me through phone and internet, didn’t give them my address when I moved, the mail they send to my office gets a “Return to Sender” on the envelope. 

It has surprised me how rarely I feel guilty, like I expected I would. These last two years, it’s like the sun has finally come out. Genuine happiness and peace of mind reassure me, in my weaker moments, that my life is better now because I made the right decision. The more time passes, the more stable I feel. 

My family now is made up of the people I’ve chosen to be in it, and I’m a healthier, happier person for it.

All of this, 1 million times, yes.
I cut off all contact when I was in college after a hideous message was left on my machine telling me I was worthless, all because I wasn’t home when he called the day before. I had spent my whole life living with abuse, it crippled me emotionally. He kidnapped me twice, both times were traumatizing and violent and the court still decided my sister and I had to see him. I was completely terrified and I decided I didn’t want to be anymore, and you know what? It turned out I didn’t have to be. When I turned 18 the court couldn’t tell me what to do anymore.

I have so many friends with crazy parents and they want to work it out and make it right and if you can, that’s great. In some cases though, there is only so much trying you can do, only so much abuse you can take. Just remember that you have the strength and you can leave.

I can’t write about my parents - I’ve been told this by both of them and most of my extended family. I want to, I think about it a lot, and the only reason I don’t is that I don’t want to reopen the line of communication. I don’t even talk about them because I’m scared they’ll contact me about it. I’m scared writing these sentences, because they both check on my internet presence. I don’t know if they’re terrible people or just bring out the terrible things in me, but every minute bit of contact is a trigger to self-harm and depression. People tell me I’m being dramatic. It’s… complicated.

It’s taken a lot of time and distance to get to being okay again, to stop hating myself and feeling like I’m a bad person all the time. Like everything is my fault, that I instinctively cause hatred in people, that I’m ugly and worthless and wrong. I found a better family, in my friends and my job and my boyfriend. There’s always someone to take me in on holidays and birthdays. My boss is the best surrogate parent I could ask for.

Still, it sucks. It never doesn’t suck, especially when people talk about their great relationships with their moms and dads and I know that I won’t ever have that again. I don’t want them back in my life, I don’t want to fix what’s better off broken. I don’t want a happy ending. I want to be okay, and that means being away from them.

Point is: If people make you feel like shit, bide your time until you can get out. Even if it doesn’t get better, you can.

when i was in the outpatient program they stressed this so much, the whole concept of a family of choice. it really opened my eyes to the fact that i needed to stop letting my biological family hold things over my head and guilt me so hard.

My cis female partner and I (I’m genderqueer) are driving to Asheville in early July for a new job and are looking for a place where we could set up our tent for as long as a few weeks, maybe in someone’s backyard, while we look for housing. We’ll be pretty strapped, financially, until we start work (in August), but we could definitely help out with chores and cooking, etc.

We’re 420-positive and we drink, but we’d be fine not doing those things if you’re not into them. Similarly, I prefer vegetarian or, if possible, vegan meals, but as a guest, I’m always happy to eat whatever’s prepared for me. We’re both 24 years old.

I’m on Tumblr but would prefer to be emailed—micahkap@gmail.com.

We’re both super excited about moving to Asheville, and it would be awesome to meet some other queer/trans* people there right away.

Thanks!

The file name here is “murderthug.png.” Because that is what the alias “Rose Verbena” represents - murderous thuggery.

[IMAGE: Two posts from an Internet message board. The first, from a user with the alias “Rose Verbena,” reads “Well then when McDonald gets beaten to death in prison, we can re-visit your vicious “Darwin Award” statement, m’kay? Because one of the BEST ways to ensure that you don’t get killed in prison is to…wait for it…stay out of prison. That is: don’t stab someone in the heart because you didn’t like their words.”

The second, from a user with the alias “Kittyburger,” reads “Once again you are conveniently eliding (not “overlooking,” this is a deliberate elision done with the specific, malicious intent of painting CeCe as the aggressor) both the previous violence (previous as in “within the same half-hour”) and the fact that Schmitz was in hot pursuit BECAUSE OF the fact that neither CeCe NOR anyone in her group had previously presented the slightest threat to him.

You are being willfully deceitful. Stop.”] 

Reblogging this because it needs to be spread far and wide that roseverbena has publicly wished death on CeCe McDonald.

Anyone else notice how the most murderously hateful radscum are white white white?

Certainly not lost on me.

Passing this along.
