My one weakness in mobile game recs: figuring out if something is an offline game or not lol
I will look through and try to dig up some recs

We definitely need more demonization of being bipolar/neurodivergent /s

The chapter talking about Brandon Teena made me have to like stop and stare out into space for a while. I'm semi familiar with the case, so nothing shocked me about it, it was just...seeing it again, yk? For so many of us, Boys Don't Cry was like the one thing we had that had a trans man lead-

And then how teenagers get dismissed bc of puberty, and ofc then how adults get dismissed for not coming out sooner. Telling someone "it might just be internalized misogyny, you'll accept that you're a woman later" is just...obviously pressuring someone to not transition

(contd) "... They've just been victim-blamed by a huge number of people ... They need social reintegration, messages of support, and space to heal."

I don't know what I would have done w/out those who stood by me and the trauma of those who didn't still affects me almost as much as the event itself

I have experienced similar things described in here (though not to as extreme of a scale), and one thing toward the end really sticks with me
"Even if the victim doesn't want to fight ... private support is huge. This is the time to make sure ... that the PTSD they acquire is minimized as possible."
