Misgendering rule in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

tbh i feel almost exactly the same way (though i'm probably not enby).

she/her feels dangerous, because if i act or am treated as femme then the transphobes in my life might start to suspect me. they/them just feels totally wrong, it's not who i am. he/him at least feels safe, because it won't raise any suspicions...

AND just like you, gender is probably gonna be the least painful part of the next decade for me lol

Misgendering rule in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Really, I do it because some snowflakes are too fragile to share their pronouns, and I enjoy annoying them until they do.

hello from a snowflake who is stuck in the closet, and too fragile to share my pronouns because it forces me to misgender myself and reminds me of how far i am from a life that feels like mine

i don't disagree with the they/them-by-default policy (principle of least harm etc), but if you ever find people being less than enthusiastic about it or reluctant to state their pronouns, please consider that there could be other reasons

no antidepressants or therapists have ever been enough to heal the damage of a fucked up life

I feel this... been through several at this point, didn't really do much for me. I'd keep trying anyway, but I don't have access right now, so I'm just trying a bunch of stuff to see what will stick.

Right now I'm giving tonglen a shot. The hard part is getting myself to do it (hello, executive dysfunction!), but so far it seems to be helping a bit. (I recommend checking out that book either way, some interesting ideas in there)

This helped me procese some of my worries and fears, so I thought I'd share it here. Rather old article, but surprisingly good.

Repost, since apparently a lot of people haven't internalized this: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21216426

Not aimed at this community in particular; just the overall trend in discussion on the Fediverse in general.

Maybe you were put off by the... unique site design, but consider that Greg Palast has been doing this kind of work and getting ignored since the 80s(!). He's talked about voter suppression since 2008 at least. He probably knows that looking 'professional' doesn't matter anymore, because MSM will never give him his due.

Lots of people consciously don't vote, for reasons you may disagree with. They are not the reason we lost this election. Please, let's stop eating our own allies alive.

Recommend some media to a long-term closet survivor? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I've been closeted for years now. It's not safe for me to be/express who I really am, and I have no idea if or when I'll ever be able to develop into an actual person. I intend to survive anyway, if only for the hope that I might somehow, someday make existence a little more bearable for others.

I find that I'm a bit more motivated to keep going when I've watched/read/listened to stuff that reminds me why I even try. Stuff that's beautiful and/or believes that it's worth it. Stuff that reminds me that I'm not the only one to do this, that I'm connected to everyone who came before and will come after, and that we're not alone.

What helped you survive what you went through? What helps you now?

Can be anything really, as long as it's something I can get my hands on via the internet. Preferably stuff without too much of a time investment (neurodivergence means I effectively have very little productive time), but honestly, I just want to hear from you.
