hey i’m one of those people that’s stuck in the closet since my mom said she couldn’t bear to live in the same apartment as me if I was taking estrogen. I’m trapped in acting like a guy until I can move out and thus still mentally have to identify as a guy to get through day to day life. On my worst days something like the tweet in the image would remind me I’ll never be the girl I want to be and that I should just punch my ticket.

Approximately how many people like me would have to die before you realize this is a shitty take?

doubleposting but this shit pisses me off. up until recently i was getting really close to ending it. I’ve always had a firm limit in place of “well it would be too scarring for my family so i could never kill myself” but that was eroding for the the first time ever - even my previous suicide attempt was in the heat of the moment with no real reasoning, but this time I was actively beginning to feel over a sustained period of time that I could not go on, such that it was worth traumatizing my family to escape it. I wrote a detailed suicide note that I have actually yet to delete because I haven’t resolved my feelings about it. The only thing that stopped it was getting a job after over a year of unemployment, finally the world telling me I’m not worthless, because in this society worth is productivity.

i look like a guy pretty much 24/7 due to my environment being unsupportive to transitioning, although hopefully that’s changing soon. I’ve gotten better about decoupling my mentality from guydom, but I still struggle with it because I’m kinda trapped in being a guy for the moment, so things like this screenshot still affect me. Exactly how many people stuck in the closet being egged on to suicide is acceptable for these people? How many actual dudes who haven’t hurt a fly would have to die before they start to question it? It’s things like this that made vindictive suicidal ideation so satisfying. I wish I had the wherewithal to check out and have a dead man’s (ha) switch send people like the person in the screenshot my family’s info and let them know that they helped cause their suffering. See how flippant they are when blood’s on their hands.

Or option 3: not everything an oppressed person says is a an earnest cry stemming from their oppression

There is no generic for Enbrel and won’t be for at least several years. There are biosimilars available outside the US, but worth noting the distinction as biologic drugs are generally more complex and sensitive to changes in manufacturing.

Really it’s just that all drugs are cheaper outside the US. Like on that indian pharmacy you mentioned in your other comment even name brand etanercept aka Enbrel is roughly in line with biosimilars (excepting Enbrol which is newer and has some improvements related to esse of absorption into the body)

I mean organ meat like that is unusual from an American standpoint. Doesn’t mean it’s automatically bad or anything though
