I didn't say anything about gender, and I agree with everything in your comment. In addition, I maintain that the original post's divide-and-conquer victim-blaming is one of the worst possible takes on the fact that accessing mental health care (in the US) is harder than performing esoteric medieval alchemy.
I came across this cartoon in a post somewhere about goth-adjacent comics... I think it was started in 2013 and ran through the end of that decade... The artist later started developing another cartoon called Cats Cafe on Tumblr that ended up [taking] their time instead.
The artist transitioned recently, but it seems they don't mind their deadname being on their older comics (i.e. their most recent Cats Cafe post has it.)

try to decide what kind of therapist is needed (difficult)
figure out what kind of therapy/therapists are covered by insurance (time-consuming and stressful, sometimes impossible)
provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
look through a list of relevant therapists nearby (usually easy)
try to identify one that you might relate to or at least be able to deal with (very difficult, sometimes impossible)
call them up one at a time to see if they're really accepting new patients (time-consuming and stressful)
try to find a regular time that works in your schedule for the new therapist and for other obligations (difficult)
again provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
go meet with the therapist. try to get along with them because if you don't it's your fault and you have to start all over (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)
do all this while dealing with whatever problem you need therapy for (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)
The latest Ministry album is a set of re-workings of older songs. The early Ministry songs had a more New Wave sound, possibly bc the record companies demanded it. Once Al developed his more "industrial metal" sound he looked down on his earlier work and didn't perform it. Only recently he's been re-doing them with a "harder" sound.
Yeah I think Al peaked in the late 80s / early 90s tho I haven't listened to all the later stuff. Glad he's still out there and experimenting with music, tho.
Yeah I'm not crazy about it either. Have you heard the original? It's an unreleased New Wave song from the early 80s. I kinda like his personal style in this video tho.
oh yeah I remembered that character design. I like the purple color scheme, glad they weren't lazy and just gave her all black clothes. Dunno if those red contacts match well, but... "crazy kids". Glad she has sensible footwear!
@rabber@lemmy.ca to be specific, !fuckcars@lemmy.world is "A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all." The key word there is "infrastructure".
Cars are amazing technological achievements, but many places have very poor infrastructure that is too focused on ONLY supporting cars (often single-passenger). This causes a variety of problems as discussed in that community. In fact, if we had better infrastructure you'd be able to enjoy driving even more because there'd be less traffic.
"Fuck cars" is a bit of a misleading name, but I guess it's catchier than "hooray infrastructure".
Love that handclap-like beat.
