trans your gender, unionize your workplace

i don't like john mulaney because he invited dave chappelle on stage with him after deeply praising him at the height of the transphobic controversy around him after his netflix special but i cant say stuff like hope he dies lest people think i'm in the camp of people that hate him because he got a divorce for some reason

it would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. the advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though and their definitions of family and friendly are absolutely fucked. but since they're in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. tiktokers say things like "unalive" and "seggs" because they know death and sex are too adult for online. online is for idiot babies only now because they're easier to market to

oh im sorry you're a trans adult? super ban. you are super banned for life. you have upset Visa's feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. how could you do this to Google Ads?

daily reminder that diagnoses are clinical tools not ontological categories ❤️

"pt presents with ABC symptoms that are theorized to have XYZ cause" is a diagnosis.

"pt is fundamentally an XYZ-haver" is a horoscope.

also. generally, and in psychology in particular, modern best practices are not just framed around the symptoms but the patient's complaints. if the patient says "yeah, I hear voices sometimes, but they're my friends and they help me do things," and the patient is able to meet their needs/goals in life (career, relationships, physical health, etc) that actually does not meet the criteria for a disorder because there is no complaint there. nothing is wrong and the patient is fine, they're just a bit odd. people can be odd.

More positive representation of bearded women please. A beard is not inherently masculine. Can I see someone draw femme women with beards? Mustaches? Sideburns? Hairy women are not inherently masculine, body hair is just a thing some people have.

it's so insane that for generations there has existed a type of guy who is convinced that the primary beneficiary of a marriage contract is the woman and not the man

men when they engineer a social institution around disenfranchising women as a class so that financial dependence will coerce those women into a lifetime of domestic servitude, but it works exactly as intended so they have to pay for food and shelter and clothing for their wife
