and to those of you survivors out there who see shit like this-- especially written by people whose whole deal is supposed to be that they have experience with and empathy for people with mental health issues-- and feel like shit about it, well, you're not alone

thinkpieces like this are especially nasty because of how they're designed to get under your skin, to make you think maybe you were just being too sensitive. to keep you from saying anything, from fighting back, and from finding a path to healing

but the voice in the back of your head that's saying "maybe they're just too sensitive", or "maybe YOU'RE just too sensitive", that's rape culture, and it's bullshit. don't fucking encourage that in everyone else. survivors have enough shit to deal with

and to all the people who've been through the kind of shit she's dismissing, to any degree: your experiences are valid. it's hard enough to heal from the wounds these traumas leave without pretending they're imaginary.

the people insisting that everyone thinks in their twisted rape culture addled way aren't revealing any great truths. they're just trying to justify their callousness and cruelty. you are real and valid and strong.

@infinite_scream's for, though. take care, y'all.Show this thread
