How come that you’re anti psychiatry?

The history of psychiatry is one of extreme misogyny, a legacy which continues today. Lobotomies, hysteria “treatments”, over-medication (a-la 1950s housewives), experimental medications and other horrific abuses to women and the mentally ill have taken place in the name of psychiatry.

Even today, psychiatry is heavily influenced by popular culture and “trends”, which cannot be said for regular medicine. This leads to waves of over-diagnosing and medicating those who don’t need medication. It leads to the warping of medical diagnosis (hence a completely new DSM every few decades with everything changed), which is not a strong foundation for a medical science. In fact, much of it, in my experience, can be seen as a pseudoscience with MUCH human experimentation.

I don’t disagree that people with severe mental illnesses, perhaps those who experience hallucinations/manic episodes can possibly benefit from medication. I won’t speak for them. But in my own experience, psychiatrists and even untrained MDs are FAR too willing to hand out serious diagnoses without hardly any consultation with the patient. Sometimes within 10min of meeting them, which has happened to me.

And so women are trusting these diagnoses and medicating and pathologizing every thought and action as part of an illness. Many women I know have gone through a difficult, high-stress period in their lives and been given a diagnosis of Clinical Depression or Generalized Anxiety or BPD (this is the big one now) or Bipolar 2 or, slightly less likely, ADHD. Some of the medications for these conditions are HARSH and can cause serious side effects, yet the psychiatrists will hand them out incredibly quickly.

I can’t support this industry that profits off women already struggling in life and treats women and mentally disabled people so flippantly. And therefore I am anti-psychiatry or at the very least, highly critical of the field as a whole.

Like/Reblog if you save or use!

feeling especially anxious this year but whatever. happy Trans Day Of Visibility!! i'm actually currently terrified to be visible. but i also want more than anything to just be able to be myself.

so. i'm visible today so you have to fucking acknowledge me. and remember, if you're not trans or an ally, or i will find you!!

i am so blissfully, mercifully happy being myself as i am and knowing i am outside of gender!!

and also, fuck you, transphobes!! i hope i outlive you!! 😊 🏳️‍⚧️

I firmly believe that anything you do to transition should be centered around YOUR comfort and wellbeing, not anyone else's. Want to start hormones, and do voice training because that would make you feel more like yourself? Absolutely go for it! Going through that trouble so that other people will be more comfortable or just to maybe get your identity respected, even though you dont particularly want to aside from those things? FUCK THAT!! If it's something you feel is necessary for your safety, I would consider that as being for your wellbeing and comfort. I know it's not always easy to parse out who you want to take steps in your transition for, but please, don't let cis people, transmeds, and transphobes convince you that you need to do anything transition wise to be validated in who you are. There is a wide community who will already accept you with open arms and celebrate your gender non-comforming traits without misgendering you. I see it all the time.

On that note, can I get a HELL YEAH for girls with deep voices and lots of body/facial hair and big muscles and masculine fashion and chiseled jaws and dicks and flat chests?

Can I get just as big of a FUCK YES for boys with high pitched voices and no facial hair and curves and feminine fashion and soft faces and pussies and big titties?

Oh yeah I forgot to mention but I dyed some silver streaks into my hair from the temples and it makes me feel like a hot wizard

I miss the safety and security in the women only spaces I had as an adolescent, like the beautician and the hair dressers

I don't feel like I have a space now and I don't know how to deal with it
