I HATE this agonizing physical form! GOD IT FUCKING SUCKS! THIS IS SHITTY! THIS IS THE SHITTIEST EXPERIENCE! WHY? WHY THE FUCK? WHY THE FUCK IS THIS? WHY IS THIS? WHY? I EXIST TO EXIST??????? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? WHAT IS THIS FUCKING SHIT?

My father...let me tell you about my father, what I knew of him through experience, not what I was told (there is a difference)

This man, short of stature, like some kind of deranged hobbit, would almost certainly be drunk, not quite stumbling drunk but in a stupor. He would tell me about the evils of the world, and would threaten me with beatings for not paying attention closely enough to his ramblings. He would accuse me of lying when I had not, mostly about my feelings. He would accuse me of not taking him seriously, or disbelieving him when I had not done either. He would smell strongly of cigarettes. For years I would deeply inhale any fabrics I encountered which smelled of smoke (if they weren't obviously filthy), I very rarely saw my father and so the smell was a comfort. Until my attitude toward my father changed from one of fearful awe, to fearful hatred. I think it was the lies that eroded my sense of trust, he would not show up, or not deliver on a promise, or not even feed me. I never really talked so honestly about this before. No one would really let me, in person. They always want to interrupt and try to give advice. But there is no advice for this. I just have to live with it.

I'm not sure I'm worth anything
I don't know what I have to offer
I'm very loyal, but very sensitive
I have nothing but my body really, and even that's on loan
Will some other body ever love me? By love I mean affection of the body. I mean the physical signs and pleasures we call love, gentle hugs, encouraging words, soft caresses.
Memories of my mother haunt me, a woman who ones was full of life drained by life, her force expiring as it comsumed itself like a fuse, and I wonder where it had gone...it was there...it was.
Who am I?
What am I?
Why do I feel such sorrow?
Why must I feel?
Why is this, what kind of joke is this?

Why can't I come into your body?
Why am I alone?

It's fucked up to cut your offspring off because they criticize you. It's fucked up to cut your offspring off because they question you. It's fucked up to cut your offspring off because they're silently suffering. It's fucked up to cut your offspring off because they're loudly suffering.

When is it ok to cut offspring off? When they are a legitimate threat to your safety. Criticism is not a legitimate threat to your safety. Being questioned is not a legitimate threat to your safety. Witnessing suffering is not a legitimate threat to your safety.

I wish I could trust people again, hopefully I'm healed enough to do that soon, it only took 7 fucking years

There's just something about a person so fucking stupid that they think their accomplishments are A) their own and B) something to be lauded, they truly fail to realize that the accomplishment is for THEM, that if they only feel something when someone else ACKNOWLEDGES the accomplishment, then it was all just a facade, and was not genuine, and is therefore not admirable, unless you're admiring a fake for what a fake it is

I wish I came from a family that wasn't a bunch of fucked up lying pieces of trash, I bet I'd be much happier if I had an honorable and sincere family instead of a bunch of neurotic, panicky, unactualized, lemmings.

it's incredibly weird to me how often I've seen the take about admins being able to read people's DMs on fedi being a bad thing, but like, how the fuck is this not a huge improvement to corporate social media "platforms" where they not only can read your DMs, but also track everything you do on the apps (fedi doesn't do this and making it happen while also being able to track people at scale would be really difficult), but not only that... social media platforms are INCENTIVIZED to track you and violate your privacy

@mario @Jazzy_Butts @bitterblossom Adults always make informed decisions, never get taken advantage of, and are, of course, never wrong about anything ever.

(continuing here bc l.t is bugging out on me too much)

consent choice is a simple positive or negative. that doesn't require a description, that's where the concept of informed consent comes in. which, clearly, an infant is not going to be able to provide (unless you got some freak genius baby on hand, which is a whole other mess of concerns).

the only reason children can't make informed consent decisions is because the adults refuse to fucking educate them properly. contemporary society forces children to be ignorant of many things, especially sexual ones, for no good reason - and then uses that abuse to justify overbearing protections "because they don't know better".

and despite it being the legal guardian's legal duty to protect a child from being taken advantage of, it's almost always the legal guardian who provides that sort of abuse, because the child has no means or rights with which to escape or prevent such abuse. nor is there any substantial system in place to check things and ensure that abuse isn't taking place - not until it's too late. AFTER a child starts showing the signs of being hurt, publicly, then MAYBE some other authority figure willl bother to contact legal authorities, and then they MIGHT bother to show up to investigate, and even when they do, chances are they don't do anything at all, because it's too bothersome for them to interfere and too expensive for the state to put more kids into protective custody.

informed consent required the subject to:
- actually be informed. if you don't allow a child to learn about love, sex, babies, etc, then you have failed them; they aren't inherently incapable of learning the information.
- make a decision based on that information and their own desires. it may be a positive or negative result. that is their decision to make, not yours, not anyone else's. you certainly don't get to say they don't have the right to make a decision in the first place.

the duty of a legal guardian comes into play when these conditions are not met. when the child is not yet capable of receiving, understanding, and communicating a choice of consent - then the parent would have the right to a decision on their behalf, PRESUMABLY for the child's benefit.

and this applies to mentally impaired adults as well as children. not everybody operates at the same level. age is literally not a factor, except that there's a bell curve of functionality, where the youngest edge of the spectrum is uneducated and unable to process complex information, and the eldest edge of the spectrum has gone senile and crippled and has lost necessary faculties. that middle section where one is perfectly capable of deciding things for one's self does not arbitrarily begin at 18+ years old. it would be far more accurate to say it begins around two years old, spikes around 4, and then rapidly accelerates as a child absorbs information from formal schooling.
