“ me no head “

There are a few comments on here that I don’t have the energy to appropriately respond to rn (i’ve gotten 8 hrs of sleep in the past 3 days) (22f physics major in the middle of midterms lol) but i just want to say thank you to every single person on here from the bottom of my heart. Truly. Thank you for making my feelings of loneliness & isolation surrounding this experience melt away. Thank you for giving me a sense of community, for empathizing with me, sharing your experiences, & for giving me all of these resources. You all just seem like such wonderful human beings & I’m so grateful for you all. I hope you all have a beautiful day. I’m gonna try to respond individually to everyone as soon as I can !!!💗💗💗💗💗💗

Real. There are a few women here

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I’ll definitely check it out!! :))

Just wanted to say that I see you, & that your pain & experience with your periods are valid!! You deserve outstanding treatment and the utmost respect from doctors who are willing to help you, just as we all are, and it saddens me so deeply to know you’ve been offered anything less. Please don’t let practitioners who discriminate impact your view on your experience!! YOU ARE VALID!!!

That is so infuriating!!! “You don’t conform to gender roles so your reproductive health issues must not be real”

Literally what the fuck

What a dystopian ass society we live in

Thank you so much for responding!! You’ll have to forgive me, I’m currently having a flare up & currently in the midst of midterms, so my energy’s a bit low & my response might not be as thorough as i would like. I don’t want to leave you hanging though; this response was super touching & i’m very grateful for the support <3 <3 perhaps the reasons you mentioned are exactly why i feel so comfortable in this space; the crowd is much more diverse here & i feel like i fit in a lot better here. i see lots of room for growth on lemmy as a whole but i’m very grateful for this space; thank you to everyone on here for existing <3

Ty for the clarification!! I posted that & then decided to go read the pinned post that talks abt all that & learned more abt it lol. Was actually just coming back to delete this comment but I suppose i’ll leave it; thanks again :)

I’m curious to know more context abt the statement revolving around hexbear & lemmygrad? I’m very new to the fediverse so i don’t know much about these instances

Very off topic , why does every post on 196 end with the word “ rule “ ??

I gotta be honest guys 196 makes lemmy such a wonderful space for me to be in. Thank you actually

Yo what- 😭😭

I really want to obey this rule but I have internet social anxiety so I never know what to say

I was lurking on some post from this forum not too long ago & I really wanted to post, but like I said I feel like I never have any clue what to say. Half the time I forget I’m even capable of commenting bc I lurked on Lemmy w/o an acc for a good few months before I finally just made one
