    Need to vent about the NHS displaying institutional ableism yet again, but no remaining spoons today :Sighing_Face:

    Writing this post in the hopes it reminds us to do so when we next do have spoons.

    Notes to our future selves when they wake up

    • You have a lot of positive qualities that you do not give yourselves credit for
    • Your worth is not defined by how productive you are in the eyes of others
    • Your struggles are real, and you're doing the best you can to deal with them
    • Others genuinely like you, even if you don't understand why
    • Māui catten snuggled up behind your back and fell asleep

    CW: Quick thoughtdump on Nightmare Before Xmas as queer, neurospicy, and trans+ allegory

    (Not enough mental energy / spoons for a full write-up, but we're doing a thoughtdump to get this out of our mind, and possibly return to it another time.)

    The Nightmare Before Christmas is a queer, neurospicy, and possibly trans+ allegory.

    • Christmas is a confusing neurotypical, cis het holiday.
    • Hallowe'en is a quirk, neurospicy, queer and trans+ holiday.
    • Jack comes across like neurospicy (likely AuDHD) theatre kid, who's burnt out and maybe hasn't yet realised they're trans+.
      • Jack recharges by being alone (so likely not solely ADHD).
      • Jack feels out of place, even among other neurodivergent peers (possibly other queer and/or ADHD theatre folk).
      • Jack can't explain what they're feeling (alexithymia).
      • Jack's Lament highlights their depression, malaise, and struggles (including arguably around gender).
    • Jack latches on to the idea of Christmas and wants to be like that for themselves.
      • Jack thinks this will make them happy (What's This? song).
      • Jack doesn't understand it, but tries to do it regardless (Jack's Obsession song).
      • It's basically Jack trying to be something they're not (cis het neurotypical).
    • Sally represents Jack's trans+ fem self.
      • Jack ignores Sally, despite the many signs she keeps giving him, and doesn't understand her fears over the venture.
      • Sally's not sure that Jack will ever listen to her (Sally's Song).
    • Jack eventually crashes (literally and figuratively), realising how foolish and damaging their actions were.
      • Trying to be someone else made them realise how important it was to be themselves, and how much fun that can be if they embrace it (Poor Jack).
    • Jack's true happiness comes when they realise that Sally had been right all along and that they should have listened to her.
      • By accepting Sally, Jack becomes complete (Finale / Reprise).
      • It reminds us of how Neo's love for Trinity in The Matrix is an allegory for Neo accepting that they're trans (self-acceptance; self-love).

    These are very raw thoughts, but needed to get them out before our mind imploded under the weight 😅

    Note to selves

    Update driving licence and passport when possible.

    The photo on those (pre-GAHT and hair removal) increasingly doesn't look like us any more 😅

    We've come to a mixed realisation :TransHeart: :NonBinaryHeart:

    A lot of folks taking gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT):

    • have a lot of misconceptions about it.
    • have the misguided belief that their gender-affirming care provider should be trusted unquestioning to know what's best for them.
    • don't know that there are different types of GAHT or that they have a choice in the type.

    We know that we can write PSA posts here without issue to dispel myths and spread information, but if we want to reach a wider audience, we are pretty much gonna need to turn it into full articles and video content 🤔

    However, the moment we do that, we're going to need to start being even more cautious about what we write or say, especially as:

    • We don't want anti-trans people to become aware of certain resources.
    • We may end up breaching terms and conditions of places like YouTube and Twitch.
    • We may put ourselves at risk of breaking UK laws... or being treated as if we have, even if we haven't.
    • We may end up risking crossing the streams between our work-profile and our online alias, which could increase the risk of being doxed or essentially becoming "persona non occupabile".

    There's also the issue of us being a neurospicy disaster with unreliable executive function, who struggles with committing to any long-term projects... or even doing basic tasks sometimes 🥺🤦‍♀️ :AutismInfinitySymbol: :ADHD_Butterfly:

    Really need to actually look up our notes tomorrow and write up posts. Need to write up:

    • Rant about voice training survivorship bias.
    • Rant about HRT being delayed for trans youth.
