Josh Thomas talks about male suicide

I wonder how feminists will react to this

Probably ignore it then go back to making male tears mugs and gifs 

Actually this is a very common idea among feminists

It’s something feminists have been talking about for years it’s called toxic masculinity and it’s one of the common threads among the topic of ‘Patriarchy hurts men too’. If fact the first time I read about toxic masculinity was on a feminist blog.

If you actually read things feminists talk about instead of straw manning them you might know this but OH WELL

i talk about the dangers of toxic masculinity all the fucking time

More posts on toxic masculinity

Every post ever on how the patriarchy harms men

OP: *posts something insightful about the damage strict gender roles do to men*

Second poster: Let’s see feminists ignore equality when men are the ones suffering! Feminists are evil and only care about their own suffering!

Feminist: Actually this is called *describes issue* and it’s something we’ve been fighting against on your behalf for decades.You should join us.

Second poster: … 

Feminist: 

Second poster: … Yeah, I just wanted to make you look bad, not actually change anything, you know?

it was women who helped me realize I didn’t have to buy into a bullshit macho lifestyle. Women and feminist ideals helped me realize there is no reason for me to feel ashamed to be emotional and loving– and it’s made me a stronger person.

Feminism, in short, helped me as a man. I will always appreciate and listen to my sisters and their compassion, tenacity, resilience and courage. ❤

my-life-as-a-teenage-robotnik:

I’ve been nauseous and had upset stomach for like a whole week or maybe two and I have to work 56 hours a week and I can’t miss any more work because I already went home one day last week

Also, my arms and legs keep going numb, I keep getting winded very easily and having heart palpitations, my forehead feels hot, my sinuses are achey, my throat is sore and kinda swollen…I am sick but I have to work a lot

my-life-as-a-teenage-robotnik:

So like a few months ago I started having the worst chest pains I’ve ever felt and I went into urgent care and they told me to go to the hospital

And then at the hospital they kinda scolded me like “well you would KNOW if you were having a heart attack” like making me feel bad for coming in even though I didn’t even go to the ER first

I feel like if I ever do actually have a heart attack I’m gonna not get help because I’ll think it’s nothing

Also like my limbs keep going numb and my resting heart rate is waaay higher than it should be but they couldn’t find anything actually wrong with me when I went to the hospital like what the heck is happening to me

First day of life up until 6th grade

Jumped all the way to Freshman year of High School

Then I cut my hair Junior year, why did I do that

image

Slowly it started growing back and then….

image

I finally felt comfortable to express myself (the picture on the left was my debut)

At this point in my transition I am 6 months into HRT

image

A year on HRT

image

Over a year and a half on hormones. My transition hasn’t been the clearest path but I am so happy that I am on it.

Update:

2 years since my coming out 

2 years on hrt

2.3 years on hrt

2 and a half years on hormones 

Its been a while since I’ve done an update so here it goes

At this point I am 3 years into my Hormone Replacement Therapy. I’m thriving. 

These pictures were taken days apart and I am 3 and a half years into my medical transition (The picture on the right was also posted by Instagram on all their major social media handles attached with an interview I did with them for International Women’s Month)

During this time I was 4 years into HRT. Clearly living for it.

I am currently 4 and a half years into HRT, 5 years into socially transitioning, 6 years into when i first came out to my community around me and I’m loving life more than I ever thought I would. 

Lil mini update!! It’s my 5 years on hormones and I think that’s quite the milestone to be proud of so here’s some pics since the last update.

Can’t wait to see how the next 5 years go!

I will always reblog this post. It’s so heartwarming.

HOW ARE YOU SO GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL?? I WANT YOUR FACE AND YOUR HAIR.

THIS IS LITERALLY MAGIC THIS IS AMAZING AND I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU

If article 13 gets approved…

boiling-plasma:

there literally wont be fanbases. fanfiction, fanart, edits, compilation videos and fan accounts in general will be illegal, as well as memes, let’s plays, simblrs, parodies and more. If the article get’s approved in its final vote in January 2019, it may only affect Europe, but we won’t be alone for long, because other countries/parts of the world will most likely follow along.

As someone who lives in the EU and finds so much comfort and also entertainment in the internet, please speak up and do not ignore this.

When net neutrality was a pressing issue, people from all over the world were talking about it, our dashes were most likely all filled with reblogs and posts about net neutrality and it’s only fair that this gets the same amount of attention because this is just as serious, scary and threatening as net neutrality was. This is not a joke and neither is it something that people that don’t live in the EU can just ignore, because it will affect all of us soon and it well be a catastrophy.

The internet is an amazing place full of likeminded people and I’m so scared to lose all this. The internet is a home for so many, where they can find themselves, express themselves, talk to friends, get to know other people, other cultures, new music and so much more. We can’t just let this die.
