Ah yes, the 3 genders
I was asked what I wished medical practitioners knew about treating non-binary patients, and it merits sharing: "Treat me as a person with a body that has parts that may be troubling me; Don't treat me as a person whose identity is defined into one of two boxes by those parts."
Big mood, because of something @cyrinsong shared: "Don’t tell me about the cool thing you did. Take me to the cool thing with you."
I was in Providence for Pride and there were actual honest to diety trans folks here. I saw them. So like... where are they all hiding now??
I feel like I need to toot this
It’s killing me that I can’t go bike now, but the lack of bike trails in this area that go further than about 15 miles is... just not acceptable.
It’s not so much that the answers I need have become clear; it’s that the answers have clearly become the opposite of what I need.
Also, the number of trans and queer folks I've convinced it's safe to be themselves is both awesome and worrying. Cuz what if I misled them? What if they're just gonna get hurt now?
Suicide being thrust to the fore hasn't made my immediate situation any more tenable, but it sure has helped with processing, and given me opportunity to share what I've learned.
