ok yall dont cancel me but since we're talkin bout trans folk

is it wrong that i view being trans as a mental disorder? /gen

i dont understand why like viewing it as one is negative and i think itd make ppl less transphobic
like any other mental disorder you dont choose to be born that way, most ppl wouldnt bully a autistic person for being autistic because theyre born that way and ppl dont chose to have a mental illness

and feeling like your something your not is definitely not orderly so i feel like its objectively a illness
amd thats ok
like i still respect my trans friends pronouns and use them
i dont get why saying its a mental disorder is bad because mental disorders exist and i feel like as a society we know better and are more excepting of them

bc if being trans is a disorder then what is it? i feel like this confuses ppl and leads to MORE transphobia

so is there something im misunderstanding? bc im very confident that it IS a mental disorder but have been kinda scared to ask ppl (ignore my typos)

also ive NEVER met a trans person who doesn't have another mental disorder (usually adhd or autism)

unrelated but this is why i dont like that trans and nonbinary ppl are a part of the lgb, bc now its not about sexuality anymore and is including a mental illness? it feels like it isnt for us anymore if that makes sense, i wish they had theyre own group instead bc its weird to associate being non heterosexual with a mental disorder

also im not transphobic for feeling this way, if someone is chill theyre chill but i do still see it as a disorder and i dont get how it could be seen as anything else:/

@seal that was the point
gerrymandering (idk how its spelt) is changing political borders in your favor

they changed it so in each district theres more white voters then black ones
before there was basically a district for black ppl

@seal it is
female breast being seen as s3xual is entirely misogynistic, im pretty sure males can produce milk too btw and my bf has biger [censored] then me but if hes shirtless at a beach or smth it wouldn't be seen as inappropriate
so yeah its rooted in misogyny

@w1ckedsticky1983 ohh i think i misunderstood you lol, yeah what your saying makes sense and i agree racism (but actually classism, which is actually the ppl in power wanting to stay in power) is kinda the biggest root cause of our corrupt government, mb

also i never thought was the idea of rights being gone tomorrow, that feels rlly relevant, recently they got rid of these laws that were mad to protect Black voting rights and use jerrymandering for these districts in Mississippi to basically dilute black votes (the original district was mainly a black population and they made it so the black population was separated into smaller groups within the 3 districts) and their argument was that racism isnt a issue anymore

which i would think is valid
but im pretty sure the state this happened in has alot of racism AND they did this a week before elections and last election that district voted for a Black representative so...

srry if this is random its just what what you said made me think of and ive been wanting to yap abt it for awhile TvT

@w1ckedsticky1983 oh ok, i was kinda worried bc while i of all ppl definitely think racism is a issue the idea of it being like idk what everything stems from is lowkey the type of propaganda the government would want you to think TvT and just ignores the real issue, also i think misogyny was more of a big thing before racism and the concept of racism is kinda recent (ppl have always fought other cultures and groups but i feel like it being abt 'race', which isnt even a real thing, is kinda recent in the grand scheme of things, is relatively new)

also ima be honest, racism in America does suck and still exist but its genuinely not that bad or that much of a obstacle, i know i post abt it alot but poc can do pretty much anything a white person can now they just may face more obstacles (its present but there is bigger fish to fry if that makes sense) i feel like modern racism is just ppl being ignorant (then again thats what racism has always been) but its not that harmful, it just kinda sucks sometimes and in some scenarios POC will have to work a bit harder for smth then a white person would
idk how to explain what im tryna say TvT

@w1ckedsticky1983 i think it comes from classism, racism (atleast American racism) was created by rich ppl to give poor white ppl someone to blame (poc) and step on so they felt like they had power and didnt rebel against the people who were screwing poc and poor white ppl over :P

the real battle has always been between those in power and the common people, everything else stems from that i think. its the route cause of most social issues

i saw a vid on tiktok and the label was 'hes acting like he broke his arm or smth' but then the kid ACTUALLY broke his arm falling and they showed it and it was so weird bc it had a bunch of likes. who tf would post that, let alone joke abt it and how could ppl find it funny? i was so disgusted

i feel like social media has made ppl way to desensitized

@Cicadasandbats thats so bad, ppl should never impulsively get a pet, my dad got me my fish as a suprise and they all died bc none of us did any research TvT only one of my original fish is still alive, the rest i got a month or two ago

@itscookiebear its a big business so ofc they dont care, also alot of their fish have terrible genes bc of inbreading, another reason why small businesses usually are better

buying pets from small businesses is definitely the way to go, i got my betta at school of fish and he was kept in a tank with other fish instead of a cup at the store and so was another betta they had, now i have him in a tank with other fish and he doesnt attack them or anything, so i have a theory that some bettas are aggressive not only bc of genes but how theyre isolated in small stressful cups at the stores (i could be wrong tho)

@itscookiebear omg i went to a fish store and one tank was FILLED with dead fish on the ground and stuck in the filter is was so disgusting, and we had to ask a worker to do smth but how tf did they miss a tank with atleast 50 dead fish???

also ive noticed that alot of ppl who cant even take care of themselves get pets especially in the hood theres so many cats and dogs just in the streets, idk whats up with poor people owning pets (like my bio dad getting a whole dog when he cant even give me 20$????) the pet industry in general is just so bad and alot of ppl shouldn't have pets and alot of pets are marketed as being easier to take care of then they rlly are:/

@Cicadasandbats awwwww thats so sad:( i love small animals like mice and hamsters theyre so cute TvT

i looked up gold fish on youtube to watch goldfish shorts with my grandma bc she used to have a pet goldfish and i think fish are cute and most of it was blatant animal abuse, one dude was feeding a fancy oranda, which is bred to be a pet, to a snapping turtle, but bc its a oranda it was too big for it to eat so it was just hurting it for no reason

and alot of big youtubers will buy fish for like a vid but wont take care of the fish well at all and it was implied that it died at the end of one vid (prolly bc of how they were treating it bc goldfish are pretty hardy) and it made me kinda sad like i get theyre JUST fish but why do people enjoy harming living things period?? and me personally i think fish are cute and love my pet fish so its just weird to me to see content like this, i just wanted to watch wholesome fish videos with my grandma....

tiktok is especially disturbing and i saw a terrible video abt smth that happened to a human kid ad me and my bf have seen many disturbing videos of ppl doing stuff to fish
i dont get why social media has become such a like disturbing place TvT

@itscookiebear yeah sure, could you give me more details on her? (hair texture eye color ect.) u can dm if you dont wana say them here^^
unless you want me to wing it based off the info youve given me so far which is fine too!

@sweetpuddin if yall are already cuddling maybe ask him hes interested in a romantic relationship rn and if he is yall can like figure it out or whatever

dont act weird or desperate abt it that'll just make it awkward, if he wants to date you then you wont have to do much

omg so cuteee^^
