  • This post is literally about how hard it is to get a formal diagnosis. Nobody said they don’t want to do it.

    I’m trying for years now and can’t get anyone to test me. Treatment is only covered after I have an official diagnosis. And this is in a country with socialised healthcare.

    Not everyone is as fortunate as you and can get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
    Yeah I don’t need a doctor to tell me my arm is broken, but at least I can get a doctors appointment for that.












  • Maybe it helps with understanding when you think of examples of female rape that isn’t a stranger beating up a woman in a dark alley.

    Like Harvey Weinstein. Countless women have come forward about rape and sexual violence from him. I doubt he always used physical violence on these women. But he was this all powerful person in the filmindustry who could and would destroy lives and careers with a wave of his hand if you’d deny him.

    Very often rape and sexual violence comes out of a power dynamic where the victim (no matter the gender) feels they don’t have a choice. Physical violence does not have to be involved.
