REBLOG THIS ALREADY!
I'm gonna say something really problematic that's gonna make me hemorrhage followers, but I don't care because I'm fucking angry.
The way that women I was friends with have started treating me now that I'm deeper into medical transition is cruel and strange and unacceptable.
Feminism taught me I'm allowed to take up space, and I don't have to take shit from anyone, and that my thoughts and feelings and art matter. Understanding that I was worth more than whether or not cishet men found me fuckable, that I didn't have to let my body define me, these were all things that helped me realize it was okay that I was trans, that I didn't have to be what everyone wanted me to be because of how I looked.
And now these same friends and this same community that taught me so much, people I've fought for and with my whole life, are telling me to be quiet again when I worked so, so hard to be heard, and it's exhausting and alienating and weird.
I'm not saying that misandry is real or that men as a Class are oppressed, but the failure to recognize that trans manhood is different from cis manhood and that it's not as simple as, "You're a man now, so I'm retroactively revoking your right to speak about your trauma," is just... real transphobic and lame.
I don't want to be in women's spaces or take over women's discussions; it isn't about that. I mean shit like real life, actual friends, who have known me my whole life, telling me it's not my place to talk about things like abortion and sexual assault, because they think having he/him in my social media bios somehow grants me the kind of privilege that cis men get.
And I know things will be more complicated than that when I start to pass or I'm treated as a man consistently somewhere other than the internet, but like.
Dude, it was less than a year ago that somebody doxxed me and threatened me with physical violence and called my house calling me the d-slur every day because I refused to send him pictures of my tits, and you really wanna tell me I that don't know what it's like to be harassed by cis men?
I don't have a point to make, really, or a solution, but like...
I just wish people who I thought had the same values as me weren't like, "Hm. You're yucky now," or that I could talk about my experiences without people thinking I'm "admitting" to "really" being a woman.
Oh, to be young, unleashed in a Barnes & Nobles with a fifty dollar gift card, buying whichever books had a dragon drawn on the cover.
any kind of trans-exclusionary feminist isn’t a feminist. you’re just a transphobic bigot is all. you don’t get to call yourself a feminist :)
Feminism is for women. If you mean that feminism is for all women (i.e. intersectional), I agree with you 100% but if you mean feminism has to include men then no, just no.
feminism by definition means equality of the sexes. equality for men, women and gender non-confirming people. feminism means allowing women to be assertive, to dress how they want, to be who they want without any backlash. it means breaking down the stereotypes and archaic societal expectations of women (starting a family, leaving job to take care of children, etc).
but we must realise that there are certain privileges that us women have that men don’t have too. they may not be as historically marginalised as we are, but there are certain facets of life in which they are also diminished. we need to redefine what it means to be a man, and that is also a part of feminism. men should be allowed to be vulnerable and ‘emotional’, qualities ordinarily restricted to women. men should be allowed to wear makeup and skirts if they want, and still identify as men.
that is what feminism is. breaking the barriers of what it means to be a man and a woman, and allowing us to express ourselves however we want, and not face any unfair backlash for it. feminism is being in a society where you aren’t judged based on your sex and you aren’t restricted to certain expectations because of who you are.
so yes, feminism does include men because it is literally in the definition.
fun fact! @suri-is-learning is a self-identified radfem and a terf (as identified by me, ur local trans guy feminist) it’s unfortunate to see that transphobia is running rampant in the studyblr community, but I would suggest all my followers block this person, and a heads up to you @accademias that this is who you’re interacting with if you werent already aware. stay safe everyone!
what’s y’alls general opinion on getting your hair cut ~rn~?
I really need to do mine but I’m torn between not wanting to be irresponsible and risk exposing myself/others and knowing that obviously they need to make money??
would esp love to hear from anyone who knows a hairstylist and how they’re feeling about going into work
hiya! I’m not a hairstylist or anything like that, but where I’m at some restrictions have been lifted and so I went to get a haircut yesterday. I’d say so long as you wear a mask while getting ur hair cut there shouldn’t be too much risk of exposure to others, esp if your hairstylist is wearing gloves/masks/disinfecting things properly
and tip your stylist!!!
As some of you may already know, my Dad has been very unwell the past few months. Unfortun… Mohamed Rezgui needs your support for Support D
types of academics: tag yourself
nocturnal: messy notes, never sleeps, wakes up after noon, sarcastic, coffee addiction, turns everything in late, sweats, netflix, needs a lot of naps, deep cleans their room maybe once every 2 months, messy buns, says they’ll be productive but never is until it’s past 2 am
“perfect”: balances work, social life, and health, never sleeps past midnight, aces everything, pretty notes, coffeeshops and libraries, cardigans, makes their bed every morning, mom friend, skincare routine, organized playlists, neat handwriting, autumn, coffee with cream and sugar
extroverted: loud but beautiful laugh, twirly handwriting, polaroids, colorful pens, skirts, wants to/does dye their hair, goes to parties but leaves early, summer, travels a lot, teacher’s pet, throws sleepover study nights, paints nails while reading for homework, leather jackets
chaotic: amazing music taste, probably good with technology, doesn’t bond with professors, has few close friends but lots of acquaintances, parties a lot, never focused (but when they are they’re really productive), really bad at reading people, cram sessions, bad sleep schedule
independent: has only one friend per class, gets everything done on time, prefers office hours over asking questions in class, rain, print-out lecture notes, one yellow highlighter, beautiful smile, the color green, painter, likes studying outside, sensitive to high-energy people, striped sweaters
hey yeah so quick question how tf do I explain to my mom that I don't want to tell my psychiatrist my meds haven't been working bc I don't want him to think he's bad at his job and also what the fuck is wrong with me
follow up question: how to I let them take my blood without having them touch me
STORY TIME!
the doc basically told me again that I should go to bed earlier and this could cUrE mY dEpReSsIoN
((I mean he didn't say THAT but he keeps telling me that my unhealthy sleep schedule probably amplifies my Problems™ which is propaply really accurate but also do you really think I wouldn't gladly be sleeping all my problems away if I COULD just DO THAT?))
and then he ALSO said that due to my current ~life circumstances~ some of these depressive feelings could also just stem from ~my personality~ which is like,, just super great ya know
BUT THEN
he gave me this questionnaire
which I guess he used to "messure" my depression and solidify the diagnosis bc as we all know I'm not what you would call "gifted" when it comes to talking about my feelings
so he hands me this piece of paper and he guides me into this other room (for privacy reasons)
and just to set the scene, this room was like a passage-room-thingy between his office and the front desk/reception area
meaning it has two (2) doors, right? one leading back to his office and the other one leading to the reception
and then he leaves me alone
and says "you can leave when you're done"
...
now..
I'm sure at this point you can probably tell what I'm getting at, seeing as I made it a point to repeatedly point out the number of doors (which is two (2)) in the room and we all know what a fucking idiot I tend to be but let me just point out the obvious question that obviously came to my mind as soon as I entered this godforsaken room and the doctor declared his Sentence Of Doom before leaving without a word goodbye like a magical fairy in a sleep-deprived fever dream:
which door was I going to have to go through?
and by the off chance that anyone who's reading this might have more than a quarter of a brain cell, let me remind you that I am, in fact, an idiot and in my mind there were only two possible outcomes to this scenario, both of which were equally embarrassing
number one: I go back through his office under the pretence of wanting to ask him a question, which I then discover to have miraculously solved already, while also subtly pointing out the fact that I'm done with the questionnaire, forcing him to just take it from my hands then and there and thus setting me free to go and hide behind my mom's back while she makes the new appointment for me
OR
number two: I leave through the other door and find myself basically in the middle of all the receptionists whom I completely and utterly shocked with my disrespectful behavior of defiling the holy mystery of a Staff Only Door™ while I very awkwardly fiddle with the little piece of paper that very clearly states that I am merely a very depressed and socially anxious child who would much rather dissappear into a black hole and die than being stared at by Susan and her colleagues.
so while I sit there, contemplating the meaning of life and trying to scratch together the very few pieces of eighth grade physics I barely remember to figure out a way to just squeeze my physical form through the atoms of the wall, my gaze happens to get a glimpse of one of the questions on this damn sheet of paper that got me into this situation in the first place
"Do you have difficulty making decisions?“ it reads
I sigh
I am defeated.
Hello!! Thank you for taking the time to take this survey. All data will be collected to be used in my ethnographic research presentation for my anthropology course :)
Hello everyone, here are the questions for the studyblr ethnography I was putting together.
I’m going to tag some people I know said they’d help!! Feel free to reblog and spread the word:
@studyinglatte @studyblrspace @mink-mesentery @hope-and-sleep @eat-me-devour-me @miss-southernerd @myhoneststudyblr @oystertongue @aleblrr @somuchtostudysolittletime @a-students-lifebuoy @bioluminescentiridescence @happyhemostudies @soaked-in-starlight @oggyblr @studylikegeller @propheciesandplans @as-study-blog @makecoffee-and-study @ohshelearns @itsjuliyuli @little-try-hard @featherstudy @study-van @imgonnafail @physics-and-wine @ricejournal @gayforbagels @swoopstudy
just answered! y’all go and answer too!!
i wish people would stop romanticizing not eating breakfast and not getting enough sleep and being dependent on coffee to function and always being in a bad mood and treating yourself poorly because that behavior is very unhealthy for you
especially amongst students it seems to be a competition on who had the least amount of sleep or ate the least or didnt do their work. stop it!!! go to bed and eat breakfast!!!! seriously it isnt cute please be nice to yourself
happy trans day of visibility y’all! special shout out to my trans studyblrs, we rock!
Help?!
Hi everyone! For my anthropology course, I have to do an ethnography on a particular group, but since I’m in quarantine, I can’t actually leave my house, I decided to do one on the studyblr community. Would you guys be willing to answer a few survey/interview questions if I post them? Also, if anyone would be willing to DM to a more in-depth interview please reply to this post/DM me so I know.
Gonna tag a few people to get the word out:
@studyblr @studylustre @a-students-lifebuoy @smilestudy @studyinglatte @featherstudy
spreading the word! i know i’d be down to answer a few questions!
bruh one of my ta’s legit cancelled all the rest of his office hours for the rest of the semester im fucking dying
i cut my neck up like nobodies business today and i have an internship interview tomorrow! this is awesome
Honestly the best suggestion I have for new grad students is to type up your notes on everything–coursework, seminar papers, conference papers, comps, diss chapters, you name it. Type it and save it somewhere you can find it later. You never know when you’ll want to consult that stuff again and if it’s in a searchable format? Ideal.
me, trying to figure out how to studyblr and engage in da in a way that doesn’t contribute to the problematic aspects while retaining the parts of it that motivate & inspire me
