No matter how much you dislike some of your alters, PLEASE do not advocate for violence against them. PLEASE do not purposefully hurt them, either through the body or the headspace. Please do not yell at them, treat them maliciously, or bully them. 

Alters were made to survive trauma and stress. They didn’t choose to be the way they are. They need to be treated with respect and love in order to recover and learn to work together. They do NOT deserve to be hurt just because you don’t like them. By hurting your alters, you are actively hurting yourself and your attempt towards recovery. 

You’ve all been through a lot. Don’t make it worse. 

I’m pretty sure the N.A.P (Non-Aggression Principle) applies to this too.

Although words like butch, femme, masc, and fem have been applied to nonbinary folk since their inception, they don’t always meet the needs of non-binary people in comfortably describing the way we look. 

So here are a new additional set of options! We’ve considered two different “axes” here – one that relates most closely to the masc—fem scale, and one that considers “effort”, or a level of… drama or ostentation in a look. They can be combined as one pleases or used individually! 

Additionally, please apply them at will to yourself based on your own ideas about what it means to dress femininely or dramatically or androgynously etc. These words are not to be held hostage to cissexism or gender roles. These words also describe presentations that are inherently not binary – the only reason we’re using words like “masculine” and “feminine” to describe them at all is for ease of communication. They can and should describe particular looks, including those that people are inclined to gender, without actually gendering them. 

Note: These are not coined with the intention of being gender identities. They have nothing inherently to do with gender identity. You can be a demigirl stag, etc. (That said, if someone wants to use them as a gender because you feel it’s tied closely to your presentation, we’re certainly not stopping you.) 

Here they are!

Stag: A “masc”, “butch” or “tomcat” equivalent, describing a presentation one considers to be associated with ideas about masculinity, or a presentation others might consider masculine. 

Fox: Describing an androgynous, fluid, or combined presentation; can be applied to any presentation a person feels doesn’t resemble the other sides of the spectrum.  

Swan: A “femme/fem” or “doe” equivalent, describing a presentation one considers to be associated with ideas about femininity, or a presentation others might consider feminine. 

Sparrow: A casual, minimalist, muted or low-effort presentation. For example, for those folks who just roll through their closet and go. 

Crow: For presentations that are in-between, combined, or fluid along a scale of effort/ostentation. 

Peacock: For presentations that are high effort. Glam, dramatic, flashy, flamboyant, attention-drawing, etc. Dressed to the nines, so to speak! 

so anyway tag urself

(chart meant purely to be silly and fun, not to suggest actual criteria or associations. Disregard entirely if you resonate with the terms but not these goofy tidbits.)

Sparrow-Stag literally just throw on whatever I have that looks manly slap on a hoodie and beanie and out I go 😂😂😅😅

Peacock & swan for me. Heheheheh :3

On my bad days, I’m more like Sparrow & Fox.

Once my friend Henry was accused of wearing wireless headphones by a substitute so she said for him to hand them over so he took them off and handed them to her. Then later on she asked him a question and he didn’t respond so she said it louder and he still didn’t respond. She asked why he was not responding and he said “I can’t understand you ma'am, you took my hearing aids.”

HOLY SHIT

one time we had a sub that was handing back papers and called my name. I asked if someone could grab it for me and she started mocking me for not even standing up. taunting me asking why I was not walking up to the front to get the paper myself.

my classmates went dead silent and after the sub’s laughter ended someone informed her that the wheelchair parked nearby belonged to me

My sister once had her insulin pump ripped off of her because her exam proctor (a sub) thought it was some cheating device.
He soon figured out that it was, in fact, not, when the port on her side (the place the needle goes in) started bleeding through her shirt. Her pump started beeping frantically, because that’s what it does, and it was general chaos until my sister ripped what’s basically her pancreas out of his hands, told her friend “Let the next proctor know I’ll need extra time,” and walked out of the room towards the nurse.

Literally schools are shit with disabilities. In elementary school I was having a high blood sugar reaction(cold sweats to rapid passing in and out of consciousness, vomiting and finally leading to a massive seizure before you die) and I KNEW I had to go to the nurse cuz I was getting worse. Kept telling my teach I needed to go and he kept saying no till finally I felt myself about to throw up and I’m screaming LET ME GO (i was a little kid to me i couldnt do anything in an institution without an adults say so or id basically go to hell) and the bitch said SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE LESSON where I proceeded to projectile vomit all over my desk and he jut kept going on with the lesson. Finally I just booked it out of the room but I was too far gone to even REMEMBER where the nurses office was let alone where the hell I was that my class literally just left and helped me to the nurses office. I immediately went to the hospital and officially died for 5 minutes before I was revived. I could have stayed dead all because some fuck twad thought his lesson was more important than a students life

After Columbine, a local school installed metal detectors and made everyone walk through them and put their bags on a table for a teacher to search. 

A few days into the school year, a teacher ripped a boy’s insulin pump off him because she thought it was a weapon, despite he and his sister insisting it was an insulin pump and he needed it to live. 

I don’t know how many of you are still in school but I have some valuable knowledge that might actually help with this problem! In the United States there’s this thing called a 504 Plan that you can get which basically gives you legal protection from disability/chronic illness discrimination in public schools. 

Students can qualify for 504 plans if they have physical or mental impairments that affect or limit any of their abilities to: walk, breathe, eat, or sleep; communicate, see, hear, or speak; read, concentrate, think, or learn; stand, bend, lift, or work

 Examples of accommodations in 504 plans include: preferential seating, extended time on tests and assignments, reduced homework or classwork, verbal, visual, or technology aids, modified textbooks or audio-video materials, behavior management support, adjusted class schedules or grading, verbal testing, excused lateness, absence, or missed classwork

 I’m a type one diabetic and my school nurse would do stuff like keep all my meds in a locked cabinet, not let me take my insulin or test my blood sugar unless she was watching me, and lie to my mother about me inducing low blood sugars in order to get out of class. She wouldn’t even let me keep glucagon (emergency sugar injection) on my person in case I passed out from low blood sugar. 

 So one day I casually mentioned all this to my endocrinologist and she was really mad. She was really angry at the school nurse for mistreating me like that and informed me of this thing called a 504 plan. A 504 plan protects students with disabilities and chronic illnesses from discrimination by outlining exactly what a student needs to meet their special needs. For me, this meant I had to be able to keep ahold of my own meds in case of emergency and keep track of my own glucose levels, that I would never be marked late for a class if I was busy treating a low, and I could pause the clock on a standardized test to check my blood sugar and treat it. If you have a disability and you’re still attending public school, PLEASE read up on 504 plans because they saved me so much grief when I was still in school. It might help you too. Here’s some more information about 504 plans:

Passing this along. I would not have made it this far without my disability documentation in school.

504′s & IEP’s are great. But…you, your parents/guardians are still going to have to be super vigilant. Schools can still be a hot fucking mess even with them in place. (Parent who had to threaten to sue her kid’s school twice because they failed to adhere to the basics of his IEP)

Texas set a benchmark on special education enrollments, which meant that a lot of families were denied for even applying for the 504.

Too bad New Zealand doesn’t have anything like a “504 plan”. You Americans are lucky, in that aspect.

I’m well & truly out of my high school years now. But, I can tell y’all this: I’m partially blind & have hypersensitive eyes (makes for excellent night vision, though). Therefore, I have to wear polarized UV400 glasses whenever I am either a.) In a room that has fluorescent/intense lighting or b.) Outside during the day, irrespective of the weather (Even on cloudy days).

My first two years of high school, my teachers were forever confiscating my glasses. I am totally blind without them, as I have to shut my eyes or be forced to endure searing pain that is ten times worse than having sand thrown into one’s eyes. My solution? I moved outta that school & moved to another school.

At my new high school, where I was there for three years, only two teachers had a go at me for my glasses. I told them why I wear them (luckily I had most of my classmates back me up on this) & they left me alone. However, one of the teachers actively refused to teach me because I wouldn’t play by the school’s “rules” (to which, there were no such rule that stated I couldn’t wear my glasses).

Attached pic: A recent (as at June 10, 2017) pic of me, wearing my glasses.

I read an article about how Millennials don’t carry cash on them and got annoyed and literally yesterday I was out with a group of friends and NONE of us had cash

I mean if you get robbed you can cancel the card and transactions. if you get robbed for cash that’s it man

millennials are ruining the robbery industry.

Meanwhile, Gen-Z carries a spare $20 in cash.

I’ve been keepin’ away from Tumblr over recent months (all for varying reasons), mainly due to the fact that I’ve been doin’ a LOT of travelin’ around my country (the is New Zealand to the rest o’ y’all).

I have finally moved down to Southland & I can finally settle down & live my life the way that I want to. In having saying that, I would like to start up a vlog over on my YouTube channel (Go into Y/T & search up “ZZ Cat” without the quotation marks), starting with my road trip from Picton to Southland.

I now finally have a decent video editing program, where I can compose my videos in 720p at 60FPS. Why 720p? Because my current camera - a Turnigy HD action camera (It’s a clone of a GoPro Hero 4 & is of better image quality than the Hero 4, itself) can shoot 720p videos at 60FPS. Another reason for this is it keeps my file sizes to a minimum.

I will post a full video update on my YouTube channel, where I will explain everything about what has happened to me & what will be happening in regards to my YouTube Channel.
