Because fuck medical degrees amirite?
Self diagnoser: I have a lump on my arm, must be cancer. Hey guys donate to me, I have cancer!
Sane person: That is a bruise. Seek medical help if if doesn't go away in a few days.
Self diagnoser: How dare you come at me with diagnosis privilege you piece of shit.
 
Oh man do I have some news for the special snowflakes who pull the "what could a medical professional know about me that I don't know myself???" card. My mom does billing for a psychologist. Lately her client has been feeling 'off.' Just kinda down and tired and anxious. So what did this Ph.D with 30 years of mental health experience do? Did she assign herself depression or anxiety and go on her way? Nope.gif. She made an appointment with another psychologist who doesn't know her. Because one of the most valuable things a professional can offer is an unbiased viewpoint and the ability to see what the patient may not be able to see.

Then again all doctors are evil oppressors so I guess it makes sense that they'd advocate going to see each other.

Honestly, though, I've really come to hate this line of reasoning.

I mean, hell. Shame time: When I was a dumb kid I'd pretty much convinced myself I was bipolar because HEY! It "fit so well" and anyway, I'd "know myself", right? Except flash forward to discover, no, I was just an uninformed kid mis-attributing some of my ADHD symptoms.

That's-one of the problems I have with self-diagnosis, really: there are a lot of disorders that can look like each other, shared symptoms, etc., and no matter how well you 'know yourself', if you aren't aware of shit like this you could really fuck yourself over. (Especially if you try to self-medicate for this shit, holy hell.)

(Although, that's somewhat generously assuming there IS something there to diagnose in the first place)
 
lol yeah, you jus go to doctard and they say R U FEELIN BAD

no wait, they send you to another doctor, and you spend a few hours talking about yourself.
and MAYBE, just MAYBE they'll say you're depressed

But how would they know that if they're never been to a doctor? :V

I also like how the young teens who claim to have BPD (when personality disorders call for an age of 18+) defend themselves with "WELL IT CAN HAPPEN" in regards to under 18's being diagnosed with it. That was my case at 15 but it's still rare as shit. That was after like two months of talk therapy with a psychologist twice a week and regular reviews with a psychiatrist, and they determined that my issues were way too severe to pass off as the typical distressed teen. And even then instead of being content with that I still went to a psych when I was 19 to touch base with them and they still agreed with the diagnosis.
 

Wanna make Juliet a trans girl? Where in the script does it say she isn't?

Well, technically, nowhere. But I have a very hard time believing that any family in Renaissance Italy would ever allow their son to become their daughter, for a few reasons:

1. This was the Renaissance. This was a very religious time in history. And the Catholic Church would burn you if you went so far as to say the Sun was at the center of the solar system, much less saying that you were the wrong gender.
2. This was pre-modern Europe, where sons were a lot more valued than daughters were. There's no way any sane merchant family would give up a son to gain a daughter like that.
3. To be honest, I can't think of anything good here, but I like groups of three, so I guess I'll just say that where would Juliet even have heard of the idea?

Sorry for the sperging. Label this A-Log if you want but I had to get it out. I'm a tiny bit of a history buff, especially when it comes to Europe.
 
I'll never get why Tumblr likes to say that random characters are gay or trans, rather than focus on characters that actually ARE.

My guess is because they just want to, like how fanfic writers often just have shit happen because they want it to happen and damn the logical progression of said universe or the canon.

I try to stay out of trans discussion because I'm cis and it's pretty clear my opinions mean less than dogshit, but come the fuck on, you made a post about 'how 2 make good trans characters' how did you not fucking expect this?

I like the tags sure does highlight the attitude of "Thanks to all the trans folks kissing my ass for my post, the rest of you cissy fags can fuck off stop messaging me asking for my opinion."
