DiscussionTired of the idea among TIMs that female health problems are something that are enviable
First time posting here, but long time lurker. I was hate reading a trans sub (as usual) and came across this post. It was a woman asking for advice and if she was doing “wrongthink” for being upset that her TIM friend told her she should basically be thankful for having PCOS because “at least she has ovaries!”. The comments were what you would expect, TIMs and TIFs telling this woman that, while she was in the right for being upset, that she should be “sensitive” towards this TIM because she was “causing dysphoria”. Some are even outright saying this woman was in the WRONG for mentioning these issues to this friend because it could hurt the TIMs feefees ( 🙄). That this woman should be “grateful” she does have female anatomy.
As a woman with similar issues (PCOS, mainly) this upsets me to no end? Why should we not be able to express frustration at our biological reality to save face? In the same post OP mentions that the TIM told her that she should basically be grateful she gets harassed as well which is even more fucked up on top of it all.
Why should women be guilted for complaining about their issues? Why should we have to be THANKFUL for the things that plague us? Being gaslit, and dogpiled for simply stating our feelings, our problems.
I wouldn’t wish PCOS, or any female issue, on my worst enemy. It’s something I have cried over countless times. This pain that I carry as a woman being something that is envied over by so many TIMs disgusts me to no end. The way handmaidens constantly console these men after being gaslit into doing so, because they get upset over these women being women is shameful.
I once was told in an old friend group of mine before I peaked similar things regarding my own issues. Gaslit into validating TIMs about how I should be thankful, as this post discussed. Thankfully I am long out of that group of friends but this concept is still mind boggling to me. Jesus fucking Christ.
Happy ending, then.
Oh thank God
