If you ever catch yourself referring to a trans woman as "AMAB," take a good long pause and ask if it is really necessary, or if you are just projecting transmisogynistic stereotypes and assuming huge categories of things about her life, when you really have no actual knowledge
Remember that when Hurricane Katrina hit, hordes of bloodthirsty white fascists descended on its victims to openly hunt them under the guise of "protecting property". Fascists will always use chaos as an opportunity for scapegoating and bloodshed
No shade to this girl because I was in MMA (bjj, muay thai) but please ladies I need you to buy a gun and train with it I promise a sucking chest wound ignores the height/weight difference of your attacker

This is like a Batman villain origin story.
a horrifying video
imagine feeling instinctively pulled to do a task. something that goes beyond your personal ambitions, your environment, or your job. something that comes from genetic instructions, placed down there over millions of years of evolution, screaming at you from generations past
now imagine that task being impossible to do in any satisfactory way. the beaver cannot feel the water, cannot find the wood. there are genetic signals to gather items for the dam, but all the beaver can accomplish in the end is a stage three simulacra. what it will create in this artificial environment will forever be lacking in the eyes of their evolutionary instincts
the beaver KNOWS there are unfinished things to do, but it cannot even conceive of what that could be. where is the water? where is the wood? what are these items meant to do? what is the purpose of it all? the beaver does not know. its brothers in the forest do, but that knowledge is forever beyond this domesticated one, who has never even been outside of an air conditioned room
but it continues its toil, because the beaver cannot understand that its evolutionary ordained tasks are useless here. the rules of its environment have changed, but it lacks the faculties to recognize that; i simultaneously pity the creature and see myself in it
Only one man’s experience but I remember bullshitting with a QC guy about how his job is to basically say “this weld is terrible. I won’t pass it” and then a supervisor/PM coming over and being like “looks good to me. Don’t hold up my project” and driving off in a 100k truck.
