    I mean, she’s straight up said she thinks that trans women are not women and that she believes being transgender is a mental illness. She said she’d rather go to jail than be forced to call trans people by their preferred pronouns (which is insane and not a real scenario that would happen, but still telling nonetheless lol). She’s buddied up with some far-right extremists, one of which has likened being transgender to doing blackface and another that said trans men should be sterilized.

    I also don’t agree with extremist takes on either side, but promotion of trans erasure and mocking/minimizing/invalidating a margininalized group that is frequently at risk of being targeted for violence are not victimless acts.





  • I mean, I don’t make an appointment for all of that, I just send an email. My doctor is cool with it if I email them non-urgent questions and they will just get back to me when they can. I don’t do it often, but every once in a while if I have a question or concern about my health, I just send off a quick email.


  • It’s about personal responsibility. I’m not an expert, and I’m not going to pretend to be–especially when it comes to someone’s health. I feel like it’s important to make an effort to avoid misleading anyone.

    It’s also a good idea to talk to your doctor when you have quetions. I’ve consulted my doctor about supplements, water intake, and all kinds of seemingly innocuous things. When it comes to my ADHD, I talk to my care team regularly about the stuff I’m doing/not doing.

    TikTok does have a ton of misinformation, projections of learned helplessness, and recommendations of pseudoscience/under-studied treatments; but if you are a TikToker and really want to get ADHD tips there, here are a few users I’ve found that actually seem to know what they’re talking about:

    • HowToADHD (Jessica McCabe)
    • The_ADHD_Nutritionist (Marley Alex)
    • ADHDVision
    • ADHD_Coach_Ryan (ADHD Coach Ryan Mayer)

    Though even with them, take what they say with a grain of salt, do your homework, and talk to your doctor/therapist/executive function coach before implementing stuff that may impact your wellbeing. Also, be mindful of recommendations that are also paid sponsorships.

    I follow a couple more, personally, but I don’t feel comfortable recommending them because their suggestions and the information they provide can be a bit dubious at times.
