yeah people get triggered

"my masculinity is under attack!!"

@RobotWizard that helicopter meme was funny a year ago

memes are a spook

Or when it was popular

and spooks are a meme

@RobotWizard ur a spook

*ceases to exist

You know i hate idpol but

meh idpol is unavoidable

being friends with a gay aboriginal for instance

we'd be stupid to pretend its not a way of getitng peoples attention

taught me a lot

its difficult to connect with other people without relating to an identity

yeah

idpool is a tool

nothing more

I hate how its increasingly used regarding mental health

honestly mental health needs more visiblity

I have a lot of ppl almost introduce themselves with their diagnosis

it points out what capitalism does to people

I was born with asthma

shit is caused by pollution

in some cases

mental ilness in some ways is a consequence of the system as well

no the DSM just turns it into a personal identity marker and disengages it as a societal issue

Just so we know bias

I've worked with and am dating a mental health advocate

so I am biased here

my fathers a psych my mum a psych nurse and i dated a girl who had severe ptsd

and was in a psych ward for a bit

interesting

mental health is the most political fucking football

I would say the issue with how identinty politics is used is it isued to disengage people from societal issues

of all

but i can totally be used to engage them

shit like the black panthers had strong socialist leanings

I still genuinely don't get those things with gender 😦

Watch contrapoints

she explains it better

sex is a biological category
