Starting to think this cloud needs professional help.

One of the central tenets of anti-trans ideology is a reactionary disgust of minors being able to have any agency whatsoever over their bodies or their healthcare. Note that gender-affirming care is not mentioned in this form even once.

It's a good thing to bear in mind that just because someone is correct doesn't necessarily mean that they are right. For example, it's true that in order to maintain consistent work, you've got to have a consistent routine. A good routine consisting of good habits is as vital to consistent work as building a sturdy foundation is important to a house. It doesn't matter how good all your other plans are - no foundation, no house. This is correct.
However, a sturdy foundation requires solid ground to build upon. And sometimes, some people just don't have that. Sometimes you've just got a swamp for a brain. You can try to build foundations, over and over again, but that isn't going to work. All your fine stonework and masonry is just going to go to waste, sinking before it settles. and you've tried doing that so many times that you know that it isn't going to work. The rocks just disappear.
And people who don't understand what the fuck you're even talking about think you're lying. Solid stonework house foundations don't just magically disappear on their own. So they tell you to try again, accusing you of being lazy for being unwilling to keep doing work that you know is futile and achieves nothing. You cannot explain what the problem is to people who have never experienced it, and people who don't understand the problem can't help you.
But just because you can't do shit their way doesn't mean that you can't do shit. Problems nobody else has require solutions nobody else does. If you've got to build a house on a swamp, you've got to put that thing on stilts.

Guess who's on TV!
(Well, iPlayer until the 15th, that's when it airs on BBC One)
Hope Street episode 3.11, let's go!
First of all, I'd say they did me dirty with this picture, but my university ID was exponentially worse.
Onto the spoilers!
Our boy Matthew has arrived in Port Devine, looking a little concerned.
For good reason when he's suddenly confronted by this lad, Dara.
Ah, a fight which Matthew escapes by slipping out of his coat. (Pretty sure this is the take where we ripped it practically in two...)
Dara's questioned, he claims he's never met Matthew in his life. Hmm.
Police do some investigating (and some character stuff) before Dara makes his way to Matthew's mother (Louise)'s house to have a wee showdown.
They both in a gang and Matthew's stolen a gun. Dara needs to get it back...
Matthew's nay having it. "This is my way out. If they want the gun back, they have to let me go."
Another fight. The gun goes off!
(Poor Pete and I were convinced after take one to put some padding on. My arm looks bulky because I'm strapped up with squishy stuff and allergic to plasters so it has to be in a sock)
Thank fuck no one was hurt. Dara gets the hell out of dodge -
Leaving Matthew to contemplate his mortality. And other people's, but mostly his own.
"Oh fuck, my bosses are gonna find me and murder me, oh shit. I'm far too young and pretty to die!"
Time for Matthew and Louise to follow Dara's example and get the fuck out of here.
The police are now on the Halbridges' trail, but they discover the phone tracking them and leave it in a field.
Meanwhile, Dara's been arrested for drug dealing. He refuses to talk, clearly nervous.
Ah, what's this on Dara's phone? So Matthew and Dara have been in a relationship for over a year now.
(The poor intimacy coordinator having to walk me through my just about second kiss in my entire life. And the third. And the fourth. And the fifth... Pete is a very sweet person. Made it all funny.)
("Relax your hand, Bodh. Just relax it. Open - open your fingers, just let me position your hand.")
They're both working for the same gang. Matthew was given the gun to hold onto by their bosses' and freaked out, running away with the weapon. His plan was to trade his freedom for the gun, but Dara was sent to get it back for the Brazier Brothers, notorious drug runners and gang leaders.
These guys.
Unfortunately, now Dara's had to tell the Brazier Brothers that Matthew is refusing. They're going to kill Matthew and then Dara. Oh no.
But Dara has an idea where they might be hiding.
At the caravan there's a standoff between the police and Halbridges. But when the Braizer Brothers are arrested, they're convinced to come out.
(Side note, my favourite picture of me, ever.)
Oh no, the Halbridges are going to jail and Matthew's regretting his life choices.
Matthew walked off to his new life inside a jail cell.
The end.
(This is where Niall Wright accidently sublexed my shoulder. To be fair to the man, I'd never mentioned it and he took his finger sliding in-between bone like a champ)
Look, it's me!! I was on TV! Bit sad they cut pretty much all the uses of SSE (weren't allowed BSL because we still had to speak the lines), but I got to be queer and Deaf so that's pretty nice.

Hey y'all! I know you love drawing references over here, so I wanted to show you a preview of a set that one of my Patrons requested.
If you like this stuff and are able to, please consider supporting me via Patreon (where you can find the extended photo set, including shots from cover and up a tree), or dropping a few quid over on Kofi. It means the world to me, and helps me keep going with my archery shenanigans!
And as always, please tag me in your art if you're comfortable to! I love to see it ❤️

You just know vampire discourse would be insane

🧛♂️ dr.acula follow
Cannot stand these freshly turned vamplings pretending like it doesn't matter if you're drinking virgin blood or not. As if unpure blood doesn't literally weaken vampiric powers 🙄
🦇 baby-batz follow
Wait omg is this true??? Is this why I've been having so much trouble staying in bat form??
🧛♂️ dr.acula follow
If you can't control wolves with your mind or turn into ominous mist it's literally because nonvirgin blood is basically poison. Like yeah you can drink it if you're starving but why would you do that to yourself intentionally?
🦷 fang-fag follow
op doesn't know what they're talking about. The virgin blood thing was made up by a bunch of victorian prudes who only hated sex more than they hated women. the fact that op (who had already been a vampire for decades when the myth was started, if you believe their bio) should be Very telling.
🩸 blood-fan follow
People will try and tell you that there's something wrong with you if you vampiric powers don't come naturally to you, but it's literally fine. You have all the time in the world to figure yourself out. Literally. You'll get there I promise
🧛♂️ dr.acula follow
You're all degenerates undeserving of the gift of eternal life after death

Lmaoooo not op showing their whole ass! XD
💀 stake-my-heart follow
But what about the blood types thing? Couldn't this be like the blood types thing?
🦷 fang-fag follow
For the last time, feeling better after drinking blood of the same type (or compatable with the type) you had in life is a well documented scientific fact with actual evidence behind it. We know blood types are real and affect blood. Virginity is a made up social construct, which has absolutely no impact on blood at all. Red blood cells can't tell if you've fucked or not

When I first signed up for electrolysis, the clinic owner told me her whole staff is trans. Cool. I assumed that meant trans femmes, since we're the ones who usually need the facial hair removal, so it only makes sense that some of us will go into the business.
Nope! My electrolysis tech is a trans man with a full beard. Huh.
