Summer @s-u-m-r - Tumblr Blog

I did a big logout a couple years ago. I am now back online. My life is totally different from what it was then.

I went through a very messy breakup and I lost my job. I’m in a relationship now with a man I truly love for over two years. I have a job again. Things are finally stable.

I play a lotta Warhammer now lol

i remember a few months ago my parents and i made the ill advised decision to eat at a local pub, once renowned but recently acquired by new owners that had gotten gastro with it. the food, naturally, was both awful and expensive.

there was some sort of important rugby match going on. idk. when was the last world cup? unimportant. there was a man sitting at the bar, the only person sitting at the bar. stubble. cap. i remember few details but the brain fills them in nevertheless. hand locked on his beer. eyes locked on the tv.

it was like seeing a native bird in a carpark. the man at the pub, at this pub, watching the rugby with his mates bc he can't go home. but there are no mates. the pub has changed. the world has left you behind. just like your wife probably. what's her number?

If you are looking for reasons to be a girl, if you are tallying up experiences that other trans women have that you relate to, listen to me.

You do not need convincing.

You need conviction.

You already know that you're a woman. Do something about it.

analog-delight

There is still time. But this is a double-edged sword. One day the urgency will catch up with you and eat you from the inside out.

Don't wait.

The second best time to be a woman is tomorrow.

The best time is today. Right now. Please.

Holy shit I'm so exhausted. Today I've biked about 44 km total and done an hour gym session.

so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.

it makes you a fruit.

Here's an English-language article about Norway's scandalously bad treatment of trans people in research btw

Over a thousand Rikshospitalet patients were included in scientific studies without consent. Now, researchers await the National Research Et

International attention on this incident is an effective pressure mechanism because, among other things, the ridiculously unethical research was published in English-language scientific journals.

That is such a flagrant and unacceptable breach of research ethics. The articles produced with this data should be retracted and the researchers responsible should have their credentials revoked.

When you work with any marginalised group, but especially a group like trans people who are the current targets of a global hate movement, you have a moral obligation to work WITH them to produce work that can help them. Consent is not something you can work around, even if you are doing analysis of publicly available social media posts, you still need to ask the people who made those posts for consent, and if they say no you cannot use it.

Also, to do this with fucking HEALTH DATA?!?! In a just world heads would have started rolling over this shit immediately. This is so blatantly unacceptable. People are not fucking resources for us to exploit, opressed and marginalised people are not the raw material for our research, I cannot even begin to explain just how out of line this shit is.

tpwrtrmnky

I mean, the thing is that the researchers who did this have documented ties to the hate movement already

What sort of documented ties? Can you point me towards a source? /gen

Anne Wæhre has been going to SEGM conferences. SEGM is listed as an anti-trans hate group by the SPLC (here) and uses Nordic trans care professionals as a source of legitimacy pretty often. There are very few articles about this in English, but here's a translated one from Filter Nyheter (Filter News) that goes over her involvement.

My first egg cracked in 2016. I came out as agender. changed my name to Andi and my pronouns to they/them, started wearing dresses/skirts/crop tops, and dyed my hair all sorts of funky colors. I was starting to be happier with myself in a way I'd never really been as a boy. No one. Not one single person, in real life or on the internet, ever made it seem like being a woman was an option for me. Everything pointed in the opposite direction.

I watched the election cycle that year with dread. I watched the vote totals come in at bar with some friends after my teaching gig for the night was over. We drank in silence and in misery. I cried in my truck on the way home, knowing that life was just going to get harder for people like me. I still couldn't call myself transgender. I didn't think that word was for me.

I read Tranny by Laura Jane Grace. I really identified with parts of it, but her story as a punk rocker and an addict was so dissimilar to mine that I didn't think I could be a woman, didn't think I would ever be allowed to call myself that.

analog-delight

I drank and smoked myself almost to the point of death over the next two years. I was working nearly 100hrs a week between bartending and teaching, and was semi-regularly driving the few blocks home from the bar slightly drunk. Not intentionally, but y'know. If something happened and my life ended? No big deal. Every relationship in my life crumbled around me. It wasn't until I hit rock FUCKING bottom that I thought to myself "what if I'm a woman?"

analog-delight

If anyone had told me, even once, that maybe I was a trans woman. Maybe estrogen could help. Maybe transition might make me happier. Maybe I wouldn't have been driving a 2005 F-150 with almost 200k miles on it 90mph an hour and a half to sleep with a girl who hadn't loved me in years. Maybe I wouldn't have buried myself in half a bottle of whiskey every night after work. Maybe I would've never started smoking. Maybe I'd still have any of the friends I made before the pandemic. Maybe I Wouldn't Have Been So Fucking Miserable.

analog-delight

So yeah. Forcefem today. Forcefem tomorrow. Forcefem every day forever until not a single girl has to go through what I did, or worse.
