Finally had a little exhibition that featured some of my work! I’ve been learning blacksmithing for the last couple months and this feels like such an achievement
All the risks they tell you about when you go on HRT sound scary bc they are almost identical to being a cis man (on average) vs. a cis woman (on average)—testosterone over time is way harder on your heart, estrogen over time and having breasts leads to breast cancer!
We need to call out transmisogynistic nonsense like this for what it is—science denialism. The vast majority of health correlations that we categorize as "women" vs. "men" are due to differences in having estrogenized vs. testosteronized endocrine systems, not "AFAB vs. AMAB".
@mastyxullden@Aliceinwunderl3 you're not transmed, you're a transsexual, these people have exerted an epistemological violence on you to associate your completely correct opinion with a historical dead end of an ideology.
medicalization is a non-starter, we cannot allow doctors to dictate who receives care
@Aliceinwunderl3 I want to trans my sex i want anyone else who needs/wants to do the same to have access to that care especially if they have dysphoria as its a crippling condition to live with. if thats transmed im transmed.
It's the sort of absurd unreality that systemic power is regularly used to manufacture. But even then, this is a particularly blatant implementation of it.
It's rather astonishingly epistemically violent that the privileged have used their greater access to the academy to reverse the meaning of "transmedicalism" such that its victims (those who want to medically transition) are its perpetrators (those who try to prevent that).
I tend to agree, chronic medication requires specific advocacy in sci/tech, this goes beyond cislgb or queer struggles, trans ppl who require that should be looking toward diabetics & other chronically ill for allyship instead of endlessly litigating gender w/ queers
@juneuine i think cissexuals are having a meltdown cause it removes their ability to pretend that they’re being systemically oppressed in the way transexuals are. in the end it just mskes sense to distinguish between being transsexual and genderqueer because they have such different-
idk seems kinda like an awful idea when сissеxuals seem to think it still means someone who is evil to allow them to change it to person who is taking hormones because they're dysphoric
@Aliceinwunderl3 Have you seen the fucking edits page for the transmedicalism wiki? It's wild how people are fine just overwriting the meanings like this.
Amazing how people can be as transmisogynistic as they wish, and then attempt to absolve themselves with pathetic progressive appeals. Hating trannies is an easier option than this tedious song and dance where you pretend to care
you don’t have to be attracted to the same gender to be gay!
you don’t have to yearn for a gay relationship to be gay!
you don’t even have to be homosexual to be gay!
don’t let reactionary gatekeepers define & police your experiences! do what you want!! :3
