Do you ever feel like you've had all you can take with the gender shit?
What is some good advice for people when they're at that max level of stress and despair?
What can we tell them and also tell ourselves to help us through those feelings of hopelessness?
Every day.
If you're ready to quit or feel yourself getting burned out, It's good to go out side in nature, do something creative, read about something not gender related, watch old TV shows before Gender or just walk away for a few hours or days.
Hopelessness is not a luxury that most people of color can ever afford, but I would refer them to Robert F Kennedy's Ripples of Hope speech where he goes over the 4 things that stop change. The first is listening to the powers that be that want to trick you into thinking trying to change the world is futile. Most movements are started by just a few determined people and the boys always try to trick you into thinking it's harder to subvert their authority than it really is. It's too easy to be intimidated into inaction by a system that works hard to present the illusion of hopelessness, but that's all it is - an illusion. You don't have to remove all oppression, you just have to be that first ripple.
Boomers and Si-Gen don't usually do hopeless.
What Anunglkwe said, sometimes we have to just go out and touch grass.
