Despite what some assert or claim, different people's experience of pain can differ. Who would've thought it?

The expectation that dominants be omniscient is damaging. In reality, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Even the most experienced players have areas where they can improve. Fronting and arrogance are roadblocks to much-needed learning.

Again reposting this blog post of mine, and tagging #auspol, because at this point i'm finding it actively offensive that us common oiks are expected to have 'resilience' while governments set the world on fire and make impoverished people further enrich the wealthy.

I don’t talk about the specifics of my illness online cos I don’t want any unsolicited advice. I have spent stupid money seeing the top expert in the country. I do research for a living.
Pause before saying ‘have you tried?’ unless someone asks for advice. Cos believe me, WE HAVE. #chronicillness

Yep. i first developed ME/CFS in the second half of the 90s, and over the years have regularly felt forced - and the junk-science PACE trials didn't help - to push myself well beyond my limits in order to 'prove' my reality to others. Related, an old blog post of mine:

Bluesky’s user safety situation
The new kid on the block for microblogging is a platform called Bluesky, and I’ve been thinking about how user safety intersects with its unique circumstances.

As a side note, as someone who majored in Women's Studies in the early-to-mid 90s, and who transitioned in the early 00s, the phrase 'gender-critical' pisses me off, because the word 'gender' can mean several things. Related old blog post of mine (which also links to another related post):
