Me, Myself, and I.

Um. Afternoon! Hello.... Things happen on this blog that I cant really account for. Its personally tailored to my interests no matter how widely spread my interests are. Please enjoy.

According to Idaho police, the two intoxicated men walked into the Post Falls Walmart and proceeded to remove BB guns from boxes, before loading one and firing it four times while in the store.

Walmart store security contacted police, saying the two men “started shooting the gun in the store and made comments that they were going to shoot the store up.”

[…]

The two men exited the store before police arrived, but officers and sheriff’s deputies were able to set up a perimeter and take them into custody without incident.

It’s interesting to compare this incident of two guys carrying around BB guns in a Wal*Mart with another incident of a guy carrying around a BB gun in a Wal*Mart.

They’re totally different.

In the case in Ohio, the guy was just walking around with an unloaded airsoft rifle and someone called the police, who arrived and immediately shot him to death. In this case, the guys were drunk and actually shooting the guns in the store … and they were calmly, appropriately arrested by police.

So, what accounts for the difference?

I guess we’ll never know.

i’m so fucking tired of people who argue that racism doesn’t exist or that police violence doesn’t involve racism.

Neuroscience finds a distinction between birth-assigned sex and gender identity

Researchers from the Medical University of Vienna have discovered there may be a neurological distinction between a person’s birth-assigned sex and their gender identity, according to a new study. 

Here’s a recap of what they found:

Led by Georg S. Kanz of the University Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, the study was composed of 23 trans men, 21 trans women, 23 cis women and 22 cis men. Researchers used a type of MRI (“diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging” is the proper term, should you ever want to sound impressive during a dinner party) to measure diffusion of particles across brain matter. Cis women had the highest diffusivity — which means (bear with me here) that particle movement in white matter brain regions was greatest for this group, followed by trans men. Trans women had lower movement than the former, with cis men having the least.

There is some early evidence, then, that science is catching up with something many of us already assume, and for good reason: Gender identity exists on a scale, rather than in narrow dichotomized groups. In essence, trans people had brain chemistry approaching the middle of the gender spectrum — inherently different from their biological sex and closer to their identified gender. For example, a trans woman has significantly different brain movement than a cis man, despite having the same biological sex. Moreover, trans men and trans women were different from each other, implying that the brain shows a wide range of gender based differences, rather than simply male or female.

Previous studies have had similar results, but it’s too early to jump to a huge conclusion that changes the entire way we view a trans person’s biology and experiences; factors like hormone therapy, for example, can affect the results.

But what we can say is that we may have “some brain-based evidence to support that gender indeed exists on a spectrum,” as the writer puts it, and that the issues trans people face simply for being themselves are taken more seriously every day.

Wake the fuck up!!!!!!!   Not only because this young girl’s internalization, but for a much more important reason.  These same tests were administered and published in 1939 showing how segregated schools were problematic for young african americans psychological state and was used in evidence in court.

The fact that this young girl still has the same internalizations despite segregation screams at a much larger problem.  The racial climate appears to not be that different from back during segregation, otherwise why does this old doll-study test still prove to be replicable(statistically reliable)?????

This should be a god damn wake up call.

No one has said this yet, so I feel I must.

THANK YOU FOR THIS.

So many people don’t seem to understand that social anxiety can manifest itself in multiple ways. Some people will just dismiss that you have social anxiety if you don’t fit into what they perceive it to be, and that lack of understanding can be really hurtful. So thank you for this.

(And as my personal comment, I fit into behavioural and cognitive.)
