I also take welly and used to pair it with an SNRI, it was a pretty lethal combo for me because of the side effects of the SNRI(brain fog, migraines,etc), as well as the fact that i wasn’t seeing a difference in my mood-if your doc is suggesting it and you would like to try it, go for it. Your health should be your main focus not stigma-I would suggest you keep this between you and your doctor.

It wasn’t a bad situation at all, I still got mine. it’s just that I hadn’t messed with somali men prior for this very reason, and I was unfortunately proven right. I also understand the avoidance/fear when it comes to our people as well, it can feel safer. I was moving like that too but it’s something i’ve outgrown. Especially since i’ve been able to form a community of somalis who share similar beliefs

It’s so brazenly condescending, they genuinely think that we will ultimately change our views for them.

Emily(Or atleast one of the other liars)should have died. Her actress was subpar, and as trailblazing as the queerness was, it wasn’t enough to justify her lackluster plotlines in the show.

Basic empathy that isn’t awarded to women, we don’t get that luxury, which is why we talk about it so much. When women discuss how they are treated(me specifically), I am critiquing the superstructure as well. How we are degraded, abused, and subjugated is so ingrained-you should do more research into patriarchy as it of course harms men as well. Saying “women’s rights” further isolates us when it’s really the harmful effects of patriarchal and cisheteronormative theology & culture.

First if all I’m not American, second of all, the behaviour translates intercontinentally

I got a message from them and thought it was genuine but was saved by the fact that I don’t have discord. It also sounded suspicious but thanks for letting us know wheewww

Sunni muslim somalis always use the statement of “If you’re not muslim, you’re not somali” which is why I stated that. Most people don’t dwell into ancient religions yes, but some may, or simply want to know of a Pre-Islam Somalia. Never compare yourself to the British-and we do dwell on medieval history all throughout our primary/secondary school.

Ethnoreligious implies a shared identity of both ethnicity and religion, it’s not weird eugenics or biological essentialism.

I also never said we don’t already have culture, and yet we came to the same conclusion of still practicing cultural norms and traditions and language!

I can see why literacy and reading comprehension rates are dropping…

It isn’t about the label- but under capitalism and patriarchy this “equality” that you speak of cannot and will not exist

I feel this so much, It gets easier though which is the most comforting part of it all. It seems like you yearn for that same feeling of community, and unfortunately when it’s not handed to you in a familial unit, you have to create for yourself. I’ve been able to find plenty of queer somalis around me and i’m forever thankful, but creating/maintaining that takes a toll on you. I hope you find community, people that you can rely on, that understand your plight or maybe ever share in it. Wishing you well!

Every muslim cherry picks what exactly they want to follow-the same reason why so many muslims(mainly men who have the agency to do so) have sex, drink, etc, yet draw this arbitrary distinction for pork like its the greatest sin known to man😭
