So every now and again I look over a note thing (idk) that my cardiologist sent to my primary physician (yes I do have access to this) and towards the bottom of the note he lists a thing of diagnoses and in that list is in his words: “No clinical evidence of connective tissue disorder”
What does that even mean??? Like I’m pretty sure I don’t have a connective tissue disorder and I’m taking “no clinical evidence of connective tissue disorder” to be indicative of that, but what was the point of putting it under “Diagnoses”?
This doesn’t necessarily require/need any answer. Really I just felt like venting(?) out my confusion of this phrasing(?), but if you happen to know and wish to answer my inquiries go ahead
My friend Abdul is an African LGBTQ+ refugee who needs more help than I can give him to survive at his camp.
$6,000 seems like a lot, and it is, but he would really be grateful for anything. If you have $1 to spare he would absolutely appreciate that. this is not a circumstance where not reaching the goal means it was pointless. I don't get paid much because I'm a full time student but he always appreciates and needs what I can give him.
If you can't use GoFundMe for any reason I also take donations through these other money transfer services.

I'll try to update this post with how much I've raised through these apps at the end of every day. I'll also try to post updates I get from him tagged as #Abdulfund on this blog, if he has anything he wants to say. Thank you.

I saw the part about how the patriarchy also negatively affects men, and I wanted to expand(?) a bit more on that.
Yes, the patriarchy centers around having men in the main position of power, both at the home and on the political scene (to name a few examples), but it also sells the idea to men that they have these conform to the stereotypes that the patriarchy perpetuates.
And I’m not ignoring the great privilege the patriarchy gives to men, but we can’t ignore the harm that it also causes them.
The idea that men HAVE to be leaders, that they HAVE to be strong, that they CAN’T be vulnerable
We should be able to recognize the harm the patriarchy causes to women without pushing the harm it causes all other genders, but specifically men in this instance, out of the picture.
I want there to be fewer MRAs. Do you want that too? Do you want to know what helps us get there, from a feminist perspective?
You may not like my answer: acknowledge that sexism can affect men. Recognize that, although the patriarchy generally privileges men, they are also subject to restrictive gender roles that are harmful to them (shunning all things “feminine,” not showing emotions, being protectors/strong, never admitting being victims of SA/IPV, having to “earn” their manhood, etc.).
Give young men a place other than the right-wing manosphere to be heard about the issues they experience. If these grifters are telling them “only we understand how hard it is to be a man, the left hates you for your gender” and they look to the left and see “men claiming they have ‘problems’ are losers who just hate women, all men are trash,” do you think they’re going to be drawn towards or away from feminism?
Before you leave an angry response: no, this does not mean to center men instead of women in feminism, it just means including them at all. No, it is not “coddling” men to treat them with human dignity, you can and should continue to hold them (and every other gender) responsible for unpacking sexist beliefs. No, this does not mean it is every individual woman’s and feminist’s responsibility to prioritize men’s issues, it just means at the least not shutting them down when they do speak up about sexism. No, it is not “not all men-ing” to point out that “men are trash” sentiments hurt the feminist movement rather than helping it. Ask questions before you make accusations on this post, please. I have been abused by men too, I get it, this isn’t easy to hear.
HELP LGBTQ REFUGEES SURVIVE 🏳️🌈
Hello,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out with a heavy heart and hope you can lend a hand. I’m a queer refugee from Uganda currently residing in the Gorom Refugee Camp in South Sudan. For nearly five years, I’ve been in exile due to severe threats related to my sexual orientation.
Currently, I represent over 300 LGBTQ+ individuals in desperate need of assistance. Our situation is critical, and we urgently require support to ensure our survival and safety. If you can, any donation, no matter how small, would be immensely helpful. If you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this message with others could connect us with someone who can.
Your support could truly change our lives. For more information and to contribute, please visit:
Thank you so much for considering our plight.
Warm regards,
Calvinphil and LGBTQ Refugee community🏳️🌈
