  • UPDATE on town hall chaos: Woman who was dragged out speaks, police chief condemns security, name of security firm confirmed

    Jump

  • Exactly, it made me so angry and upset for her. When she kept asking who the two security guys were and they (and the sheriff) said nothing while assaulting her. They were just in black suits, for all she knew this was an abduction in plain sight.

    You could hear the mix of anger and panic in her voice that anyone would feel being accosted by two strange men. Absolutely disgusting and horrifying.

    Would you say my conservative dad has at least revatively gotten the point?

  • Hi, Happy to try and answer, though with the caveat that this is just from my own experience.

    1. Disphoria happens on a social, mental, and physical level. For some the social hits strongest, basically they feel like their true gender internally and would like to act and be treated in a way that matches the social contruct of their true gender rather than their AAB gender, but they may care less or not at all about the physical appearance. Transmedicalism denies that their experience is very much the trans experience. For some, like me, my lifelong dismorohia (e.g. eat disorder, body shame) meant that my physical disphoria only presented after I found queer communities will to accept me as trans while I still looked very cis. To put it in TLDR terms, no woman should have to shave her legs to be a woman (and trans women are women). Which leads me to #2.
    2. Transitioning can take a long time. I am now addressing my physical disphoria, but the time and money required is significant. Transmedicalism (perhaps unintentionally) creates hierarchies: passing > surgeries > hormones etc. Which can be emotionally destroying along the way, and even more for a late-bloomer like me, who may never pass. And so rejecting that helps change the standard for me, makes sure every step I take is for me which leads to the last point.
    3. NB and trans NB people exist. Specifically why what OPs dad said is still troubling, it still forces a binary when gender is more of a 4d spectrum.

    TL;DR transmedicalism gatekeeps a lot of people out, when we all have far more in common.

    Again, not the gospel, just my take. Thanks for asking. ❤️

  • womeninstem.us was created in response to this crap, to preserve and promote these stories.

    It's obviously a new project, and just a blogspot at the moment, but it looks like they are getting lots of volunteers. The number one thing they've asked for is content, so if you are or know a Woman in STEM, or are comfortable writting up some posts for other, have a look.

  • I was bored and looking for something to do on the weekend, and found cheap tickets to see Sheryl Crow and Pink (headlining) live. Honestly one of the best shows I've even seen. The "don't give a fuck" vibe mixed with the professionalism of a 30 year career, just all the energy I wanted.

    They both have newer albums, but I've had their high-school bangers on a lot lately.

  • Elon Musk makes 23 posts urging King Charles III to overthrow UK government

    Jump

  • Funny enough, that's literally the plot of the play King Charles III that ran on the West End about a decade ago.

    Spoiler alert: fictional KCIII doesn't get very far.

  • Beyond that there's been a considerable amount of research about our ability to estimate room size/material/shape while blindfolded just based on the reverberation of sounds in the space.

    Oversimplified conclusion, untrained humans are really good at it.

  • I'm from the Y'all zone. Is it offensive to call trans people y'all?

    Jump

  • Yup, I specifically use y'all and recommend it to people (like my parents) to replace gendered phrases, and I'm not from the y'all zone.

    Still up for debate, "dude" and "hun/hon".
