Being trans alone = “mental illness.” I had a voluntary stay upgraded to involuntary when I tried to leave (after realizing that they had no intention of actually helping me.)
“Oh, you are feeling suicidal because the president is a FUCKING RAPIST? Let’s get you fired from your job and lock you in a room where people can misgender and physically assault you.”
I need mental health care because I have PTSD from “mental health care.” I was tortured in a troubled teen facility and almost twenty years later spend my nightmares there. But seeking mental health care is a trap. It’s amazing that asking for help in December only made my PTSD worse - that now I can flash back to assaults when I was 14 and when I was 30.

Exactly.
Isn’t it wonderful?
