“You don’t suffer on the same scale as us so I’m just going to ignore your problems” is not and never will be a good argument.
There also isn’t a way to even determine who suffers on what scale. Is there an internationally established oppression index we’re going off? Is there an oppression statistic?
How can people even genuinely state who struggles less or more systematically? Like, especially when a lot of statistics say that a lot of us struggle disproportionately..
Are we going to be like “in many surveys it said people like you only experience violence 33%, we experience violence 33.1% of the time so you all basically don’t experience any violence at all”?
I mean, that is basically what a lot of this is in, except people aren’t going off fact, they’re going off their own social theories. Social theories which are usually like “these people are less oppressed because I say so”.
I want someone to actually come with the “objectively only/most suffering” factors they always speak of. I want points that aren’t just “I think you suffer less because I think you suffer less” coming from someone.

i really should get a twitter if I’m going to keep liveblogging the fucking radio hey
Tom Tilley: “does that mean that men in positions of power can never have sex if there’s an uneven power dynamic?”
yes also die bitch
survivors of abuse have limits that can change very frequently. sometimes we’re less sensitive to triggers, while other times we’re more sensitive.
i want to remind all of you: just because you’re feeling more sensitive today or any other day doesn’t mean you’re weak.
it doesn’t mean you’re no longer making progress. it means that today your limits are just a little bit lower than usual.
if you panic about something that normally wouldn’t bother you at all, you’re not weak.
there are ups and downs in recovery, good days and bad days.
you aren’t weak. you’ve made it this far, and just for that, you are so strong.
i’m proud of you.
i’m still not over straight men coining ‘fuckable’ as an adjective tbh
LGBT: insufficiently inclusive
LGBTQQIA: increasingly cumbersome, subject to mockery, still not fully inclusive
GSM: co-opted by pedophiles apparently
MOGAI: utterly swamped in Discourse
Queer: “q-slur”
Non-cishet: negative framing, weaponized against asexuals of insufficient purity

If you wore a vr headset linked to a camera drone that was set to follow you from a few feet behind you could live in third person.
disassociating
If you can’t dissociate naturally store bought is fine
i don’t think we’re in africa anymore, toto
how do i explain to people that the invention that nasa is calling a “warp drive” that will take us to mars in 3 weeks isn’t an alcubierre engine because they rely on completely theoretical particles and it’s not meant to travel ftl but instead it’s actually weirder because every explanation and diagram ive seen say it’s a fucking microwave built into a fucking triangle and it shouldn’t go anywhere at all but It Does and newton’s laws might actually be fucking wrong and we might be pulling momentum from nowhere
It’s the EM drive and please we need to never confuse it with a warp drive ever again but also Look It Up because science is Fake
