just a kind reminder to please be kind to the people you know with gastrointestinal disorders/conditions! they're embarassing, often very painful - sometimes debilitating - and very hard to talk about without oversharing a lot more than most are comfortable with.
if someone you know:
- spends a lot/long time in the restroom
- has a colostomy bag
- requires diapers or similar implements
- experiences a lot of gas and/or bloating
- requires tube feeding or other alternative methods of nutrition
- has food restrictions (e.g. cannot handle a lot of spices, certain proteins, etc.)
- eats a lot, or only a little
or other similar factors of their life...
please be patient and understanding, it's hard having guts that really like disagreeing with you!
falling in love with your fwb is heartbreaking
i wish he could see me
ofc we meme the shit out of it. doesnt mean the disorder's fun. and it doesnt need to be. its a shit disorder thats literally from needing to survive a shitty situation. its doing its job.
and yes it is part of your identity but it is not an identity. its not like a gender or sexuality. its like having brown hair or green eyes. simply a defining characteristic of your identity.
why tf do endos treat being a system like its an identity that you can pick and choose to label? why do they constantly push the transphobic rhetoric of using "traumascum" to refer to traumatized individuals that just dont want people to treat their symptoms like its fun?
being plural/being a system is nothing like being lgbtq+ and i really think we need to stop treating it as such
yes we are a community, but this community is one formed on the basis of being traumatized as kids, its not based on something we choose to refer to ourselves as
we need to be there to support each other but not blindly. we need to help spread information to others with the symptoms so they can receive help.
you wouldnt treat people with personality disorders the way you treat systems so why is it acceptable to treat systems this way?
y’all i started watched Our Flag Means Death today and HOLY CRAP!! i love this show so much already and i’m only two episodes in.
the characters, the plot, just everything
absolutely amazing
-sully
lmao i'm gonna let you finish but these headcanos that make santos into a good person are hilarious. she already outted him as a drug user, now you want her to out him as trans without his permission christ.
oh trust me i dislike santos
but its less outing frank as trans and more confirming it after someone else accidentally outed him
it was more of a situation of someone needed to ask him caus he enjoys watching people squirm so its not like he wouldve ever actually straight up said it
are we memorizing mercutio’s lines for shits and giggles? yussir
ROBBY AND FRANK'S DYNAMIC ON THE PITT IS SO SIMILAR TO FRANK AND BILLY'S DYNAMIC IN THE PUNISHER TV SERIES
i was wondering why i like them so much and now i have my answer
i go on x/twitter and see this shit
what fucking year is it 🧍
yall ever eat a whole can of beans for dinner?
caus like me rn fr
dude i already know your take
its not like ive been disagreeing with you without looking at your page
we're obviously not going to agree on this topic. i honestly think i see it a certain way and that i see it like that due to my autism and can't wrap my head around any other way due to that. its chill that you cant see it the same way i can due to not having the right vocabulary to describe my opinion properly.
