I Know SEVERAL Afab Nonbinary People Who, As Soon As They Came Out As Nonbinary - Immediately Began Dressing

honestly it’d probably be better for everyone involved if literally nobody ever spoke to me again

I didn’t ask for this >:(

When I say I prefer They/Them but you can use "She" for me, I mean it in the way you can use feminine pronouns for a ship or a piece of large machinery.

Like a poetic gendering of a genderless thing, based on vibes alone.

I am as much a woman as the massive warehouse automation system that an engineer affectionately pats while saying "she's a beauty."

I am a she in the exact same way.

I'll constantly see people list of disorders that cause psychosis and talk about how they're highly stigmatized and somehow they never ever mention bipolar disorder? ever? and it's almost certainly because people online tend to have this perception of bipolar as the "socially acceptable sad happy disease" and it is not. it is just not. bipolar disorder is so incredibly stigmatized and its symptoms go so much deeper than just "sad and happy"

did you know bipolar causes psychosis?

do you know what mania actually is? (hint: it's not "extremely happy"!)

did you know bipolar causes hypersexuality?

did you know bipolar causes aggression?

did you know bipolar causes generally socially unacceptable behavior?

did you know bipolar people are more likely to kill themselves in a manic episode than in a depressive episode?

did you know bipolar causes a thousand other highly stigmatized symptoms?

did you know that after my bipolar disorder diagnosis people started gossiping about how I was "unstable" and therefore "untrustworthy" and I was "erratic" and "a liability"? would you guess that these things were said by a progressive activist group who were "anti-ableism"? does this all sound like an destigmatized mental illness to you?

does it????

SO nervous about this med change

bipolar is truly the everything illness. right now i just have symptoms. idk of what specifically this time but they’re definitely happening

I love being a women, I love calling myself a women, I love my feminity and seeing the world through the perspective of a girl, I love my radical feminism as a women and the unique experience that gives me. I love taking back my sexualization and seeing myself as beautiful as myself, in every way.

I love being a man, I love seeing the world in a new way and being excepted by male friend groups and validated, I love being masculine and strong well wearing traditionally feminine clothing, I love being able to use the masculinity that has hurt so many as a positive thing to help the world grow.

I love being non-binary, the beauty of the complexness, I can be whatever I want under the name and I can be silly about it. I can call myself gay for liking anyone, I can confuse people who hate my joy. I love to watch other queer people be filled with joy when we meet in public, both under the non-binary umbrella, joined in solidarity.

I love being genderqueer, being everything and nothing at once, calling myself what I am even if you see it as contradictory, I love not having to explain myself and just being queer. I love finding my name in every time I hear another person realize they can just call themselves queer.

got put on olanzapine...

I'm getting real tired of ppl telling me that my fibromyalgia is fake <3
