  • it’s worth noting that CFA stopped donating to queerphobic organizations awhile back, has a DEI department now, and is one of the few fast food chains not on the BDS boycott list for Palestine. like I get that hating on 'em is a meme but they have good fries and are less problematic than half the other fast food chains at this point…

    Surely some action by the Biden administration is far enough beyond the pale to make you look for a different option, right?

    many liberals do not have a cutoff point here. if Democrats were having people executed in the streets, they would argue that more people would be executed in the streets under Republicans, so leftists who don’t vote Democrat are morally bankrupt and effectively on the side of the Republicans.

    oh, wait, that’s literally their argument for this election, it’s just that said streets and people happen to not be the good ol’ US of A.

    Yeah, I really do not envy OP her Christianity; I’m so glad I was mostly over that phase of my life by the time I started examining my gender and realizing I wasn’t just depressed, but dysphoric.

    EDIT: To clarify, absolutely not saying Christianity (or any religion) is “just a phase” for everyone. Just that it certainly was for me, and I’m happy to be past it and to have partially dealt with the trauma from it.


  • It certainly is in some ways; can’t get through a given week without questioning whether maybe I’m just cis and want to be unique or a binary trans woman in denial. But on the other hand, I do have my feeling of simply not fitting into the gender binary to fall back on, which is there even when gender dysphoria and euphoria are not.


  • As somebody transfeminine and nonbinary, this really spoke to me. I think part of why it took me so long to figure out I’m trans is that I don’t want to be super femme 90%+ of the time, I just want to throw on jeans and a tee and not be read as male. Like I’m nonbinary, but I want to present as a tomboy or as close to nonbinary on a female base form as I can get, if that makes sense?

    Anyways the article was excellent and I’m glad I read it.













  • In my experience, Better Help doesn’t provide a worthwhile service. They charge around $300/mo and will postpone and cancel your appointments so you end up getting in one, maybe two, appointments in a month, but with the added stress of needing to work your schedule around their shitty time management. My partner tried them out for a couple months out of desperation at the lack of local therapists who take our insurance and it was a net negative for her.
