A trans girl's start

Figured I should put a bio here. I'm 30ish yr old trans woman who requires the unhinged humor that only tumblr can provide. She/It

On the one hand, a lot of the talk abt the power and menace of AI-driven facial recognition software is overblown because, to be perfectly frank, none of the software is very good. A lot of the people reporting on it are just repeating the ad copy published by the companies selling the software.

On the other hand, it isn't overblown at all because so-called forensic science has always been pretty shit but that hasn't stopped prosecutors from being able to convince jurors that cops have magic powers

[cutecipher]

It's actually imo very informative to look at the reporting on police departments using AI tech because it reveals how little cops and the people in charge of them care about the truth in like startling detail because many of the problems with cops using this tech are really problems with how policing is a fundamentally broken concept

[moorock]

All the same problems exist like with forensics as a field generally. Criminology, blood spatter analysis, lie detectors, fingerprinting ALL have this problem.

Cis ppl will be like "transitioning is far less effective than my solution of dismantling gender norms" and then not dismantle gender norms

[catboybiologist]

Also additions from @peelerofpotatoes and @tvtimaeus that are good

I would still take estrogen on a desert island. If that doesn't describe you, then good for you!! But dismantling gender norms would still not alleviate bodily dysphoria for all.

Transitioning is itself a morally neutral act. It is your decision to make a statement with it, internally or externally. The statement I make with my transition has always been about bodily autonomy.

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.

They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.

They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.

Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.

And it's BEAUTIFUL

[dbarenzu626]

I'll throw in the wonderful Eizin Suzuki into this ring too, a man whose work just breathes light without actually using dynamic lighting in the usual way. It's no surprise both Nagai and Suzuki are both considered prolific in art pertaining to the city pop genre because they're able to paint these kinds of scenes with a delicate touch.

This feels like I could trip on that radio and fall right into that water, feeling the crystal waves as I drop in.

And this, a nice stroll down a resort strip, where my sunscreened skin could literally feel cooked if I leaned too close to the tiling.

And then a nice stretch of summer street, wherein you could see your face in the flushed red of that car provided it didn't blind you from its sunny reflections.

I don't think I even need to say anything more, Suzuki's a massive influence in how he even places colours so warmly in such unorthodox manner. It's a naturally sunkissed talent~ 🌊

i think we should stop having "kink at pride" discourse and START having "kink at the 4th of july" discourse. for no reason other than that it would be very funny

[is-this-fascism]

i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.

[is-this-fascism]

grabs you by the shoulders listen. listen to my words. i understand the urge to make fanfiction about yourself and to find a reality in which you're super awesome and great and everyone who hates you is wrong and dumb. i get it. you're better than that. you can love yourself without putting other people down, dehumanizing and generalizing, and retaliating against your oppressors.

there's no NPCs. there's no aliens coming to save us. we're not the next step in human evolution. our hyperconnected nervous systems give us terrible sensory overwhelm more often than they make us geniuses. neurotypical people are sentient, conscious, aware people who are capable of understanding you. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different.

i had to specifically ask "which musician" but we're really getting somewhere now. keep going

data: i have no emotions

data, later: hello, geordi. i have created a portrait of us as terran cats. this artistic technique is known as pointillism. it became popular during the late nineteenth century. i selected an american bobtail to represent you, and an oriental shorthair to represent myself. after researching feline behavioral characteristics and common humanoid-to-animal artistic associations, i concluded these were the most statistically appropriate choices. of course, it is not possible to determine which cat breeds we would actually resemble unless we experienced a transporter malfunction or a similar form of energy fluctuation leading to an unexpected physical transformation. i also adjusted the composition to accommodate your VISOR’s perceptual processing. you have previously informed me that faint details tend to blend into surrounding imagery. because of this, i used a high level of contrast to better define the silhouettes. the cats' whiskers and ocular details were rendered in pure white to improve clarity. i additionally incorporated bright violets, cyans, and saturated blues to the main color palette of the piece, as these wavelengths appeared more distinguishable within your visual spectrum. what do you think, geordi?

i really like transfem wish fulfillment stuff i just wish it didn't make me aware of gaping holes in my chest that have always been there

[indigonanu]

Found a meme I had to replicate in my favorite way. Sna'dra's phone would have to be at least like 4 ft. tall at that scale, she's just excited to show her friends how cute Del looks in their new shirt!

Jessie Gender @jessiegender.bsky.social‬ We see here how the concept of “male socialization” leads directly to transmisgony. “Stop acting like a man or else you’re not really a woman, nor are you transitioning hard enough.” Fuck off. No woman, trans or cis, has to act a certain way to be a woman, nor do you gatekeep someone’s transition.

broccoli ‪@billymayslesbian.bsky.social‬ the fastest ive ever seen "male socialization" debunked was the time in a gender studies class three cis men argued if trans women had male privilege for like ten minutes while a trans girl sat patiently with her hand up the whole time.

jenny tightpants ‪@jtp.bsky.social‬ wokely trans women haven't done the work to unlearn the idea that they deserve to be taken seriously when they speak. that's only for men.

For what it's worth this might be the funniest joke I've ever made

[vexwerewolf]

Not to defend the Catholic Church too much, it's a legendarily awful institution, but like, they repeatedly and plainly stated "this is a schismatic act and we will excommunicate you if you do it," and SSPX was like "no it's not and no you can't," and... no, the Catholic Church CAN actually decide what the Catholic Church does

[vexwerewolf]

Telling the Roman Curia "you have no authority to excommunicate me, so I'm not excommunicated" is,,, certainly a choice
