RaveI’m feeling more emboldened to share my mind.
Hi everyone. With the recent heavy pushback on a governmental level in America against gender ideology, as well as much work on my own, and this lovely site I am pleased to say that I feel strong enough to let my objections be known.
I don’t plan on doing this. But hypothetically if I were to get on my old FB account, make a status sharing my objections to gender ideology and the trans movement, I wouldn’t be afraid of the inevitable pushback. It would still suck. I recently got into an argument with my old groupchat of HS friends about some of the executive orders. Basically I pushed back.
It wasn’t about gender ideology but about the limiting of prescriptions for minors. I think healthcare providers need to be more careful about prescribing SSRIs to minors. Not because I don’t think some kids genuinely need them, but because they’re so insanely difficult to get off of. I’ve been on an SSRI since I was 19. I don’t think I’ll be able to get off them because when I’ve gone days without due to forgetting a refill, the way my body and brain felt was so off that it deeply unnerved me. I know this is extremely simplistic, but I’m also in favor of this, because the medical establishment gleefully prescribed minors unnecessary medical interventions with the gender affirming “care”, that I think we need to be extremely cautious with what we give minors as of this time. I don’t think things can’t change. They will change. I just don’t know how yet.
I also believe we need to have stronger boarder security because sex trafficking has gone up so significantly in the Biden administration along the boarders. That’s simply unconstitutional to be ok with this. When I spoke about this with my bestie who isn’t American she and I got into a discussion and she politely said she didn’t think it was wise because of what the media has been portraying.
A lot of my current beliefs do tend to fall in the conservative camp at this point in time. I’m not bothered by this. I know my beliefs come from a radical feminist core, and I am not afraid to tell conservative individuals about this. I’m feeling a lot more confident and comfortable with my positions.
When I have the chance to speak about this with some of my more left leaning friends, I will stand my ground. I feel like I’m able to speak up now. And I’m pretty pleased about this.
If I lose friends for voicing my values, I know it will hurt like a motherfucker. But I’ve come to realize that if they aren’t willing to hear me out fully, maybe that friendship needs to come to a long pause, or worse, a close.
Anyways, I just felt like sharing.
