Why I Feel Tortured Every Moment
I’m not evil, I've been made to act out in response

the reason my executive dysfunction is the worst torture imaginable, is because I don't enjoy enjoying what I have to do for communicating through my dysfunction

I'm having fun being bad against evil, and it kills me everyday to tears

@adapalmer.bsky.social cognitive dissonance of trans misogyny is killing me

nobody can understand how it might be possible a trans woman writes fiction as good as this, and gaslights themselves about how and why it's either 'not good' or 'AI'

I boiled it down

"I need space" means something different if you're a trans woman. It means goodbye for good, and no matter what. It means "I'm a coward." It means society's hate of trans women took two victims.

Every trans woman makes phone calls like MONICA. We get left alone for the shame of society. The people who love us run. I'm schizophrenic and had a restraining order put on me by a social worker for it.

I need to never again explain how I am disabled but smart and uneeding of pills. I need that ASAP. I'm dying mentally every moment now.

Our society has treated me like an infection since suffering abuse and needing support.

With time I will get set-up as a writer. Unless the restraining order placed on a disabled woman by a social worker she was reaching out to for help prevents that from ever happening.

I NEED DENTAL WORK DONE ASAP

If anyone who one day wants to work with me, once I’m successful from scrounging through hell whatever way I can, fails to admit they saw my messages crying for help — if they did — they can sod off.

Why would people let an ingenious creative, non passing trans woman perish by a slow torturous mind death of schizophrenic executive dysfunction? Why would nobody care she figured a lot out?
