I'm gonna be really real for a minute. this shit is so, SO mentally exhausting. I peaked when I was around 17 and while it was severely mentally distraughtful to really come to terms with the extent that men hate women and how fucked up the gender ideology movement is, there was still a lot of help and a sense of freedom that I got from realizing the truth. Now, ~6 years later, it feels like all that hope is gone. I've watched things go so downhill so fast. The entire Western world is captured by gender ideology and it's literally inescapable no matter where you look.
Hence the title of this post - I've tried yall, I really have. I've tried avoiding social media, avoiding Ovarit and other GC spaces, I've pretty much cut the internet out of my life - and still. It's on the news, it's on campus, it's at work. And I try so hard to just ignore it, to try not to think about it, not to care about it, but again I just can't. I feel physically sick whenever I see a celebrity celebrating child transition. I feel overwhelming rage when I see people misrepresenting 'terfs' online and spreading blatant lies. I feel numbing all-consuming despair when I hear the ACLU say word for word that they think TIMs are real women and 'cis' women are secondary. I'm sure the fact that I have many, many diagnosed mental health issues doesn't help, but I'm so sick of tired of literally not being able to step outside my house without spiralling because of how TRAs have taken over EVERYTHING.
So yeah, mostly just a rant because it's not even 9 am and I've already had my day ruined by TRAs on the news lol. But if anyone has advice or tips on how to handle feeling like the entire world has gone insane (and now I am too), I would appreciate it a lot.
