Been off call for almost a year after 20 yrs tied to my phone 24/7/365, on call every other night/weekend for the funeral home. I’m still struggling being away from my phone now. I stress that staff might need to get ahold of me. I still have so far to go to get to a healthy connection space. Help.
shiftedshaped - emily mae@shiftedshaped.bsky.social · 12mo agoTo not have to be chained to a phone has been a wild experience to attempt to transition into for sure. Not easy. It has been taking practice to retrain my brain to attempt to minimize the obsessive phone checking for a death call that was life for so many years.
![“Years ago, I encouraged the WNBA leadership: what’s our stance? What are we going to do when this occurs? Are we going to be ready? Are we going to be reactionary? And so I think it would make sense for our league to be leaders in this space,” she said. ” … I’ve chosen to educate myself about the space. I’ve chosen to listen to transgender families, and what I know is exclusion is not the answer. We’ve got to find a common ground and be inclusive. That’s the space. I think if we all come from that.”
Reeve then pondered the real issues facing women’s sports and whether the people attempting to “defend” them even know what they are.
“The [transgender]issue isn’t as big as the issues that we have in women’s sports,” she continued. “Whether it’s cisgender men that have held us down for years in spaces like being able to have access to facilities and uniforms and locker rooms, all the things that these young girls that are sitting at games with anti-trans signs, do they understand actually what the real problems are and how they’re being marginalized? We’re still not in a space where we have equality. We don’t even have the Equal Rights Amendment in all 50 states, right? So there’s real issues. This is an issue that I think that we can thoughtfully work through, and that’s my hope."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ljtaqjfy2qlxv2u5sb6njbhr/bafkreict6exctik6d3kjui5h7qjmkk4v465o7sv5twonjaw5rzudxfbv4i)
