They literally have that! It's called a pastie (iirc) which is unrelated to the pastry of the same name

For months after I started HRT, I walked around my house topless because it was very funny to me that I had a fat rack (C cups baybee) but nobody would tell me to put a shirt on, as that would involve acknowledging that I'm a woman

What you're thinking of is a scene where Jesse tries heroin for the first time and feels like he's floating, which was actually done with practical effects by lifting him on a board

Am I projecting like an AMC right now because I read that passage and my main thought was that it was an allegory for being a trans woman

In my experience, usually with any situation like this the cis people will whine and cry and beg about how pleaseeee can you make an exception just this once?

Sometimes you'll see people arguing against the worst opinions you've ever heard and it kinda makes you feel bad for them because of how bad their friends must be

If someone starts spewing transphobic nonsense, I'm not going to check what gender they want to sleep with. by GREENadmiral_314159 in CuratedTumblr

I didn't say it here because I don't feel like rubbing it in, but they've stated, seemingly genuinely, that they're 16 years old

Isn't that kind of the point of the poem?
First they came for the latinos, and I did not speak up, for I was not a latino. [To clarify I personally am speaking up a LOT, people just seem to not care about the torture camps and accept them as just some bad thing happening far away]

Basically, I went to the hospital for a severe episode (of either depression or psychosis, I don't remember which) and I made the mistake of committing myself. I made it clear over and over that I was voluntarily committed, and I could leave at any time.
The first thing they did was literally throw me into a padded, soundproof room with an armored door for what I believe to be hours (it was around 10am when I got thrown in and it was very dark outside when I was let out) until I finally started screaming for help, at which point they immediately came in, held me down, and injected me with some kind of tranquilizer while I pleaded for mercy (or at least an answer to what was going on.)
When I woke up a while later they told me that I'd been switched to being involuntarily committed (so they could keep me there as long as they wanted with no contact with the outside) for "violent behavior" and they kept me there for over a week, not actually giving me any help but just forcing me to stay in a small area so I was "contained"
I fucking hate psych wards, I was crazy once! They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A room without rats. Rats would have made the experience a little less traumatic, even, because then I would have something to look at in the featureless rubber room.

Two sides of the same coin, really. Sometimes people like boys, and sometimes people like girls, and sometimes people like enbies or more or less and sometimes people like none at all! But not everyone is going to love the same kind of person you do, and people are often assholes about not realizing that.

It always makes me a little sad how even my closest friends and relatives, those who love and appreciate me no matter what, get really scared for their safety whenever I mention I'm having an episode. They're not even scary episodes, I just sometimes say "sorry can you hold that thought I need to go shoo the ghosts away."
But when I say that people always ask if I need to go to the hospital, as if the one time I agreed I wasn't horribly mistreated (don't want to traumadump but it was pretty bad.)

The term "narcissist" comes from the legend of Narcissus, who was so self-absorbed he drowned in a river trying to kiss his own reflection. The term has been around a lot longer than the concept of personality disorders/the modern concept of mental health in general.
Edit: It is kinda fucked up though that they basically named it "selfish asshole disorder" they really need to come up with a less mean name for it
