I think it could be really helpful if we had a circle specific to trans widows.
My heart breaks whenever I read their stories. It seems like they are a group of people who are often abandoned by everyone around them, their friends, family, LGBT groups, because of the narcissism their trans partners. They get abused by their trans partners and often have minimal support systems. Most social media platforms don't even allow them a voice. However, Ovarit could be a safe place for them to be able to meet, express themselves, get support, and not have to worry about bans or getting doxed.
Ideally a trans widow could run the circle, but it doesn't have to be that way at the beginning. Maybe someone can run the circle, until there is a trans widow-member is who able to do so.
I suppose that is one good way of becoming self-aware--actually look at yourself in the mirror without filters!
When the Snapchat/Insta/whatever social-media-network filter is more validating and fulfilling than the thing that reflects one's own image back at oneself...
We're fucked.
Grease? Where do you even get grease in the bathroom? Is he living in a kitchen ventilation hood?
And some of these people want to give themselves a surgical womb in an area that is sweaty, exposed to urine and fecal matter, and easily infected? It blows my mind.
Eww. How gross do you have to be to let your mirror build up with so much grime that you can’t even see yourself in it.
That is what I was thinking too. I couldn't cover my mirror with a layer of grass even if I did it on purpose. This man hasn't been cleaning his mirror since he'd purchased it 9 years ago.
Good. I hope it was absolutely traumatic, maybe even life altering. Maybe he’d actually come back to reality but that’s hoping too much.
Old and learned enough to control their own gender. Not old or learned enough to clean their homes. Classic tale.
And mentally well enough. Totally incapacitated by depression, can't clean, can't shower, but IS totally competent to handle post-surgery care.
I've had some serious battles with depression over my life, but I've never had my mirror become covered in grime like that before.
Even at it's worst state of filth, the middle to top of my mirror (the part where you can actually see your face) has never been so grimy. Like, it's usually just the bottom of the mirror that gets gross. Unless this TIM can barely see over the sink
