I thought I had fully peaked when the endometriosis support subs and groups began to use gender neutral language in an effort to be more inclusive. 99% of endo sufferers are female and fine with being addressed as such, so I thought this rule was unneeded and shifted the focus to dysphorians rather than endometriosis.

Then reddit decided it's totally fine for trans people to say things like "cishet are such scum" and "punch TERFs" while receiving a baby shield (trans peeps are soooo vulnerable, shhh don't get mad at them, let them say whatever they want and don't say anything back). It's like they're children, we have to play along with everything they say, and always forgive their hatred because they don't know any better.

What the hell? How far will we have to regress before more people wake up?

Are you me?

Seriously though, ~1 year ago that my endo group said we couldn't use gendered language. It was a big WTF moment for me, and it started me down the rabbit hole.

Feel free to send a PM if you ever need to talk to someone who has baaaad endo and has peaked far too many times. It may take me a while to respond -- I'm pulling back from social media to the extent I can -- but I also want to be there for my endo sisters. <3
