@183231bcb It's so stupid too because if you display self injurous behaviour that isn't seen as "truely" a suicide attempt and are brought into the hospital in distress, my experience is that they will treat you badly while also missing anything else that may be wrong that may have driven you to such behaviour in the first place.

And I'm not saying hospitalization is always the answer in that case either, certainly not incarceration in the hospital, but yeah my experiences are that it's actually quite difficult to get treated by the hospital if you are willing to be there and asking for their help. They certainly don't link you with outside-the-hospital services that could help you *if you aren't already in the hospital*.

But if you've just attempted suicide or they believe you to be at risk for doing so without intervention they will incarcerate you in the hospital whether you want to be there or not. And you can be treated quite badly.

This "stealing" of colours and symbols and flags from other parts of the queer community is such horseshit. Right now folks like to accuse transmascs of stealing the lesbian flag to make the toothpaste mlm flag. It's comparing sexuality to cultural appropriation in a really incongruent way, ignores folks who might be both, and ignores that building off of ideas and themes of each other is very common and normal. Everybody "stole" from Gilbert Baker's rainbow flag, and the leather pride flag, anyways. Steal away!
