My Favorite One Is, “come On Star Wars Be Original,” As If Putting A Man In The Lead Would Be Cutting

I believe that most people on this thread are upset at the doctors, not at other people on the thread (apart from the one exchange at the top). I hope that I don’t have to explain why it matters for doctors to believe patients about their symptoms?

Also, this isn’t about doctors giving patients the diagnosis that they “want”. This is about doctors giving patients an accurate diagnosis of what they actually have.

Finally, I know ally-falls-downstairs in real life and I can vouch for their credibility.

being a female means needing to see 10 different doctors to get a proper diagnosis because they always think you’re exaggerating and/or lying

an (actual) friendly reminder

transgender people do not have to:

experience dysphoria

medically transition

exist inside the gender binary

present with their identified gender

have a certain sexuality

go by certain pronouns

uphold certain gender roles

go against certain gender roles

dress a certain way

act a certain way

look a certain way

to be transgender. here are the things transgender people need to do to be transgender:

identify as a gender that isn’t the one they were assigned at birth

and thats it.

(Trigger Warning: rape) Well, I couldn’t find any statistics on what percent of interactions in which a woman turns down sexual advances by a man end in violence. However, I did find a study on what percent of men are rapists. (http://www.davidlisak.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/RepeatRapeinUndetectedRapists.pdf) It found that (roughly) 6.3% of men have raped or attempted to rape someone. The majority of those had done so more than once, and averaged 5.8 times. The rapists had also committed an average of roughly 10 “acts of interpersonal violence, including rape, battery, and child physical and sexual abuse.” 6.3% might not seem like a lot, but it’s definitely enough to justify trust issues.

too true.

Unpopular Opinion

I enjoyed reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

What if instead of gilly weed Harry had showed up to the black lake challenge in muggle scuba gear like “like where’s your advanced magic now bitches? Got me a free fishing knife with this thing”

Okay, muggleborn headcannons are adorable. But can we take a moment to appreciate their poor parents?

Desperately trying to find a book about how to raise your kid who is all of a sudden a witch/wizard.

Trying to explain to the neighbors why your kid suddenly has an owl/toad for a pet and spends an excessive amount of time polishing that ancient broom out on the back porch.

Debating if it’s better to try and wash robes in the sink or just risk taking them to the laundromat.

Having to clean out their trunks when they get home from school because Merlin knows what the hell you will find in there.

Trying to keep any younger siblings from telling random strangers on the street that their big brother/sister is a wizard/witch.

Showing up to Diagon Alley for the first time and holy shit what the hell is all of this honey please make a friend with witch/wizard parents so they can tell us what to do.

Galleons? Knuts?

WHY IS YOUR TEXTBOOK TRYING TO ATTACK ME?!

Trying to explain to grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins why they can’t attend visitors day at the child’s new boarding school.

Having to come up with a whole new system of rules to deal with anything magical.

Standing awkwardly outside platform 9 ¾ and waiting for another wizarding family to show them what to do.

Learning that the main wizard sport, which your child is determined to participate in, involves riding around on a thin little stick a hundred or more feet in the air while moving at excessive speeds.

Getting letters from your kid after their first night demanding you come pick them up because there is no wifi and THEY SAID IF WE WENT TO THE FOURTH FLOOR WE WOULD DIE.

Seriously. Muggle Parents of Witches/Wizards are adorable. I just have this picture of them rushing out to Diagon Alley after the representative from whatever school visits them to tell them about their kid and they just buy every book they can get their hands on to figure out what the hell they’re supposed to do now.

never throw me anything unless you’re ok with it dropping

Seriously. The same goes for aro/ace people, pan people, demi people, etc.
