prolly kinda petty, ???, the struggle between wanting to be a good person and wanting revenge
oh to be torn between Responsible Adult Brain going "dehumanization is a tactic of the fascists" and Inner Child Brain going "if they don't treat me like my gender then i won't treat them like a human" :(
it's like. y'know. these ppl cause me so much pain, and not being allowed (on a moral level, i mean, i guess?) to cultivate a solid hate against them and to also act on it does kinda hurt :(

@phseiff
what speaks against cultivating some hate against them? or revenge fantasies?

@juno it gives me headaches and my jaw starts grinding and subsequentially hurting and i start feeling angry and stressed whenever i do it :(

@phseiff
anger shows you where your boundaries were violated or where you where hurt. sure it can take forms that we don't like. but its still an important emotion that needs to be listened to to plan future behaviour and to channel it in a way that works for us.
my own revenge fantasies got less when i got further away from those that hurt me...
