Hey I just wanted to let you guys know that before coming across your blog and blogs similar to yours I would have never realized there were so many issues that men face today. I now consider myself an egalitarian and I stand in support of men as well as women. To everyone out there spreading info about the challenges and hardships men face, and supporting them in spite of all backlash, I just want you all to know that it might be tough but you are making a difference, so don't give up.
“I wish I could stop being depressed.
I wish I could stop being anxious
I wish I could stop cutting.
I wish I could stop overthinking.
I wish I could stop pushing people away.
I wish I could stop hating myself.
I wish I could stop pretending to be okay and actually be happy.”—(via undead-but-dead)
As some of you know, we both met about
5 years ago and since then we’re forced
to deal with abusive families and constant homophobia and transphobia. For
the first two years of our relationship we were separated with me (elqreco)
locked up in catholic boarding school. Both of our families refused to acknowledge
the fact that we aren’t straight and tried to tear us apart by persistently
threatening us with repetitive
therapies, constant control and abuse of privacy. Our texts and mails were
always read. I had to leave home to be able to use my phone which I used to
hide from my mother. I was kicked out of home three times (and twice during
Christmas; in December 2013 – when I was still a high school student - and
December 2014). We both dealt with a couple of suicide attempts during that time.
When I was kicked out the last time I
finally found a job and a cheap flat in which I couldn’t even afford heating or
food. During winter there was about 55 degrees Fahrenheit inside and I was
practically starving. My boss was constantly late with my pay (and never
actually gave me a full one), abused me verbally and ignored my phone calls.
In May 2015 he disappeared, leaving
me without job and documentation required to legally take a new one. I
submitted a complaint on him shortly after that, but Polish offices work so
badly they didn’t do anything about it and I
won’t be able to work legally until January 2016.
I’ve lost my flat in July 2015 and
was forced to move into my partner’s house (they live with their parents),
because I had no other place to go. Nicole’s mother promised us she’ll help us
to move out of Poland (of which we dream as we want to get married and finally
have a normal life which isn’t possible with the amount of hatred directed
towards queer people here). We hoped for the best, but soon things started to
fall apart again. My partner’s mother started being even more abusive towards
us than before. She forced us to stay
locked up in our small room with three of our cats for two weeks when Nicole’s
family came visiting. She’s suffering from OCPD and keeps blaming us for
everything, never seeing fault on her side. She’s a compulsive hoarder and our house is so full of clutter (pics here) and
animals it’s neither pleasant nor hygienic place to live (our attempts of
cleaning or throwing away stuff always end up in a huge fight). Nicole’s father
has an alcohol problem and thinks
we’re obliged to clean his mess constantly. To make things more dramatic, on
Sunday, 20 September 2015 (during Nicole’s mother absence) two of our dogs were poisoned (probably by one of our homophobic neighbours)
and one of them died. It was a most beloved dog of Nicole’s mother and we know
that she’ll have a mental breakdown and she’ll blame us for its death when
she’ll find out.
We know we won’t be able to stay here
anymore. We plan to move out to the nearest town with our cats, but we don’t have any savings and financial
ability to rent a flat on our own. We’ll need help to survive until January
2016 when I’ll be able to work again.
If you
can help us by signal boosting this post or donating us even the smallest
amount of money, we’ll be eternally grateful.
If you donate us 10$ or more you’ll
receive a handwritten letter of thanks (we both practice calligraphy);
If you donate 50$ or more you can
commission a hand crafted and custom-made self-tie bow tie sewn especially for
you by my partner turinqs (example here);
If you don’t feel comfortable giving
us money, but still want to help us, you can also buy some cat food from our
wishlist or send us a package with food;
We also need coats,
shoes and warm clothes for winter;
There is a donate button on both of our blogs or if you’re on mobile you can donate to nikolaimiolczyk@gmail.com
the asl sign for “transgender“ is basically the same as the sign for ”beautiful“ but signed at the chest instead of in front of the face.
so that’s cool.
this is my imperfect not-a-fluent-signer understanding but:
(based on a presentation by a deaf trans guy i was at in 2005 where he was promoting that sign)
it seems like that sign was invented and implemented by trans people over the last 10-ish years. before that the predominant vocabulary was “sex change” and then some deaf trans people were like “yo fuck that” and came up with the current sign, which starts off with the sign for “myself,” then motion that indicates both change and coming together, and ends with the closed hand held against the sternum.
and in the process it also mimics the sign for “beautiful”
and because of spatial grammar, things closer to the front of your body in ASL are generally more vital, more emphatic, more immediate, more present.
so it’s actually a case where the word coherently indicates “beauty” and “self transformation” and contains hints of the complete thought of “my self transforming, through a coming together of disparate factors, into something more real, immediate, and vital than I was before.”
so yeah. that’s just fuckin’ awesome.
and that’s just the way to express that concept now.
Aries - ‘Stop pretending I have it all together. And if I’m scared, be scared. Allow it. Release it. Move on.’
Taurus - ‘There’s definitely a dangerous feeling when you’re in love - it’s giving your heart to someone else and knowing that they have control over your feelings.’
Gemini - ‘I get nervous when I don’t get nervous.’
Cancer- ‘I hold a lot of things in. I’m always making sure everybody is okay. I usually don’t rage; I usually don’t curse. So for me, it’s a great thing to be able to scream and say whatever I want.’
Leo - ‘Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life.’
Virgo - ‘If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow.’
Libra - ‘Really, I could be charmed by anyone. I’m just a sucker for somebody that is charming.’
Scorpio - ‘Power’s not given to you. You have to take it’
Sagittarius- ‘I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal.’
Capricorn - ‘I don’t like to gamble, but if there’s one thing I’m willing to bet on, it’s myself.’
Aquarius - ‘Take all the rules away. How can we live if we don’t change?’
Pisces - 'The ocean makes me feel really small and it makes me put my whole life into perspective… it humbles you and makes you feel almost like you’ve been baptized.’
“The thing about an anxiety disorder is that you know it is stupid. You know with all your heart that it wasn’t a big deal and that it should roll off of you. But that is where the disorder kicks in; Suddenly the small thing is very big and it keeps growing in your head, flooding your chest, and trying to escape from under your skin. You know with all of your heart that you’re being ridiculous and you hate every minute of it. The fact that many people don’t recognize or have patience for your illness only makes everything worse.”—Ten years of experience (via mer-se)
