HHS SUPPORTS INTERSEX BODILY AUTONOMY IN FIRST-EVER HEALTH EQUITY REPORT. 🎉🎉🎉
Today, HHS released a groundbreaking report linking the ongoing practice of non-consensual surgery on intersex infants to harmful outcomes and health disparities.
This report is the strongest statement from a US federal agency on intersex bodily autonomy to date.
The report recognizes the “well-documented medical harms to intersex people across their lifespan resulting from childhood medical interventions performed when the child was too young to participate in decision-making,” yet observes that medical providers still recommend these practices against growing evidence.
HHS recommends changes to “promote bodily autonomy and informed consent” by “ensuring all non-emergent care is guided by the express wishes of the intersex individual themselves.” source

Tumblr user froody:
I think maybe the most ironic part of the white supremacist “Muslims are taking over Europe, save European culture and its people!” rhetoric is that they’ve been saying it for the past 1,300 years. No exaggeration. This is something they’ve been fearmongering about since the 8th century.
Tumblr user froody:
Then they’ll complain about how historically inaccurate and woke it is that there are nonwhite characters in European period dramas like it is totally impossible for a North African man to be in England in the 13th century and we don’t have manuscripts of assholes complaining about it from back then. source

Tumblr user wholeheartedsuggestions:
holding yourself accountable and tearing yourself down are two different things
Tumblr user taeriminal:
how to do it (asking seriously)
Tumblr user wholeheartedsuggestions:
be aware of what you’ve done wrong. forgive yourself and learn from it rather than beating yourself up over it and thinking it’s just a part of you that can’t be changed. know that you can’t go back and undo it but also that in the future you can do better and not repeat the same regret. self hatred stemming from regret is hard to control, but it can be managed with patience and practice.

DON'T focus on:
how guilty you feel
how much punishment you deserve
DO focus on:
how to prevent it from happening again
how to make amends source

The real goldiggers are the men who expect you to take care of them, clean their house, wash and iron their clothes, give birth to their children, manage their emotions, and on top of that go to work and contribute 50/50 to the expenses.
