And his father. They both suck, but the father's approach sucks less because at least it would leave Luna with the option to not be Luna any more if he decides he's not a girl after all. I don't think his dad would allow him to even be a GNC boy, though. Both parents are trying to push him in extreme directions.

It's the only article I've found that explains why the dad isn't a great human being, either. (I don't care for the article's, or for the overall Vox site's, stance on trans) Both parents need to back the fuck off that kid and let him figure things out without being medicalized. They're both using him as a pawn to get back at each other.

Both that kid's parents are trash. No kid should be put on puberty blockers or medically transitioned. And the father is a piece of work himself. This article comes out a little too heavily in favor of transing the kid but it's worth a read to get sides of the story the father tends to leave out.

https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/11/11/20955059/luna-younger-transgender-child-custody

I think "Luna" may be more gender-nonconforming than trans and should be allowed to wear a dress, have long hair, call himself Luna, but be left to make his own transition when he's of age. His parents need to back off and quit pushing him to choose between being male or female.

I don't buy the "James Damore was fired for saying there are biological differences between men and women" argument. He was fired because he put the idea out there, in an internal manifesto for all his coworkers to read, that women and minorities were less suited for STEM work than men. How did he think that was going to go over with his colleagues? I can't think of a place I've ever worked, including conservative companies in conservative areas, where his memo wouldn't have gotten him fired. Even people who agreed with his points would mostly know that you don't say that shit around people you need to work with.

I'm glad you're not thinking of transitioning. Not because you'd be "bad" or "wrong" if you did, just that it would likely not solve the problems you already have and would give you new problems (and medical bills) on top of what you already deal with. Have you ever seen the detrans subsaidit or subreddit? Might be worth a peek if you haven't.

There's been good advice given here already, and I'll add something: Nutrition. Not expensive bro-science supplements or woo-woo stuff, but make sure you're getting enough vitamin D, whether it's from D3 tablets, sunlight, or your food. B vitamins can play a role too. Like any science, the science on this is evolving as more studies are done and more data is collected, but here's an example.

Ever heard of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)? It was started to help treat people with borderline personality disorder, but the skills it teaches can help people that are nowhere near borderline but are struggling with other aspects of their mental health. This site isn't the prettiest, but it's a start. Mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness are the core skills taught.

Getting things done helps lift my mood. It doesn't have to be everything at once. Throw out some trash, dust a few things, clean the bathroom sink. One thing at a time. Helps me feel less overwhelmed, less "useless" or "lazy" when I get into self-critical moods.

I hope this doesn't all sound like "wow, thanks, I'm cured." It's more about staying on top of the anxiety and depression and managing them so you can focus on other things and not feel so swamped and hopeless. Please don't give up on yourself. You deserve more happiness and a better life, and I believe you can get there. One step at a time.

I’ve not read the article, but I have to ask, who are these girls and women partaking in strangulation for the kicks? How did they become so complicit in degradation? Sure you can blame porn, mainstream media, the patriarchy but come on.

My experience is, a lot of them do it because it gets them attention among kink circles and makes them popular, and it gives them bragging rights to their friends. One comment that sticks out in my mind is a young woman who said she hated the masochism she participated in, but she did it because she loved the looks on her friends' faces when she told them what she was into. It's "not like other girls" and a need for acceptance, taken to a toxic extreme.

Can muslim women be GC feminist too? by [deleted] in GenderCritical

Christians and Jews have a better ground for that in the regard that they can claim the misogynistic stuff was written by misogynistic men. The only word of god in the bible are the 10 commandments.

Many Christians believe that the Bible overall is the Word of God, as written down by men and passed along in oral traditions before that. Challenging those people with the idea that the Bible is in any way not literally God's rules and history of the world is something that often doesn't go well.

This is who I thought I was allying with when I considered myself a trans ally. This is who I thought all trans people were.

But even on the inside, this is who this "nice" trans person was:

we would tell each other that truth and logic don’t matter and that as trans women we’re more important than “cis” women. Truth is I was jealous of women and hated myself.

He sounds genuinely dysphoric and not AGP, and the type that a lot of trans people would call "truscum." I'm glad he got past the most toxic aspects of trans culture, and hope he's finding some peace.

The Chinese and Korean radfems seem to feel free to speak more openly and brutally than Western radfems, which is interesting. Then again, it could be that only the most extreme examples are being cherry picked for stories and the truth lies more in the middle, much like Western radfems. There also seems to be a divide similar to Western radfem vs. libfem (or mild-fem, maybe).

I got a huge kick out of the donkey memes.

I'm voting. Women have only had the vote in the U.S. for 100 years, and those activists didn't deal with the bullshit and violence thrown their way just so we could now sit out elections because we don't like who ended up on the ticket. I've seen both men and women on social media say they think women shouldn't be able to vote, and it's insane to me that anyone thinks like that nowadays.

If you really can't bring yourself to vote for someone at the president level, at least vote downballot to help affect your state and local politics. And please, think about long-term things like federal judge appointees, and beyond issues such as trans rights activism. There's a lot going on in the U.S. and the world, and how we vote can affect all of that.

It's difficult to keep up with everything that might be on a ballot, and before I vote I'm usually reading a variety of resources, like voter guides that get mailed to me with explanations of different measures and propositions and candidate stances. (NOT the campaign flyers that flood my mailbox to tell me how great X candidate is and how much Y candidate sucks, I ignore those) I read the editorial board recommendations from different newspapers in my state. I look for voter resources online that appear to be independent and not pushed by one side or the other. To me, it's worth the effort.
