“But Vox,” you might be saying. “This person claims to be supporting transgender rights. Why do you think they’re a transphobe?”
Because this message is designed to provoke anger and/or fear against a person “supporting” trans rights. They want you to think someone is has doxed you in furtherance of the trans agenda and is holding your creativity hostage. It’s a manipulation tactic designed to encourage transphobia.
I sure hope those 15 hours of downtime helps AO3 crush these bots into powder. They’re pure evil.
We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives.
Raise. Awareness.
For the uninformed, vaginismus is when the vagina painfully tightens and spasms when faced with pressure, usually from anything trying to insert into the vagina. It’s the reason I can’t wear tampons, and why many people can’t have vaginal sex without severe pain.
There’s not a lot of treatments, and there isn’t a single one that is for vaginismus exclusively - they’re all medications or treatments to treat symptoms, but not the causes. In fact, for a long time doctors waved off vaginismus as a purely psychological disorder in cis women.
Seriously, this is so unaddressed and uncared for in medical circles. Please spread awareness, even if all it’s for is to let those who have it but don’t have a name for it finally be able to understand what’s happening to their bodies.
Certified Sex Ed Post!
Hi hello! This post is almost 10 years old and there ARE treatments for this. Vaginismus is otherwise known as pelvic hypertonia and it is a MUSCULAR condition that can be caused by many different factors including endometriosis, trauma, chronic UTIs, and connective tissue disorders.
It’s incredibly common! And it can be treated by physiotherapy.
I know this because I’m currently undergoing physio and although it can take months to recover, I’m already seeing improvement. A lot of the pelvic floor exercises are available online, but if you have these symptoms please TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR and see if you can get a physio referral (or investigation for underlying causes like endometriosis).
Also, my additions to posts never get reblogged so a note to my followers: this is SUPER IMPORTANT ISSUE that affects many people and is rarely talked about. Please reblog, and please share this info with as many people as possible.
Pelvic hypertonia/vaginismus is incredibly debilitating and psychologically damaging but it CAN BE TREATED. Spread the word, and you never know who you’ll be throwing a lifeline to.
hey shoutout to my fellow ppl who used to and/or continue to struggle with regularly fulfilling everyday hygeine tasks for literally any reason. You can make a lot of progress on that sort of thing that you may never talk about but that’s still hard-earned improvement and Im proud of you.
Youre not the only person who struggles w that and you don’t have to undercut your sense of personal improvement just because it’s the “bare minimum.”
Yesterday, Disney asked users on Threads to use Disney quotes to show how they are currently feeling. To say that this did not go according to Disney’s plan would be an understatement 😂
They deleted the thread, but they should know that this doesn’t help because now the videos are making their rounds 🤣😂
There are multiple chapters that are set in hospitals where the characters are attempting to recover from injuries that never fully heal. I must once again stress that my experience in WWI was perfectly normal.
