One major factor that makes the nature of psychiatric treatment intrinsically violent is the fact that the boundaries of the patient is considered an obstacle to treatment. The lack of consent of the patient is considered an obstacle to treatment. These obstacles are abhorred by psychiatry and are considered things that must be broken down. If the patient has a disagreement with the treatment, or objects to it, this is considered a symptom and therefore is seen as something not to be validated or respected. Thoughts, behaviors, beliefs; these are all considered symptoms if they are in opposition to treatment and must be broken down. However, compliance with treatment is almost never seen as disordered or symptomatic, even if the patient is fawning or similarly complying to avoid more harm done to them. The fact that only extreme compliance is accepted by psychiatry is inherently violent and conditions people to accept abuse. Isolation and violence are not vectors of healing.

Dr. Alan Hart, a trans man from the USA who pioneered the use of X-ray photography in tuberculosis detection (saving countless lives according to researchers), was "reclaimed" by the lesbian community after his death in 1962, which means he was deadnamed and described as "a women loving woman who had to transition because at the time transsexualism was a quick medicine against sexism and homophobia" by numerous gay and lesbian associations and activists (including Jonathan Ned Katz whom I just quoted and who received many awards for his contributions to... I don't know, transphobia against trans men I guess), even though his widow always expressed how offensive it was to both her and her husband to refer to them as lesbians.

Hart was on testosterone, legally changed his name, and had gotten a hysterectomy (that was described as "unfortunate" by the Right to Privacy gay and lesbian political action committee), making him the first documented trans man to transition in the USA, yet he was characterized as a lesbian woman because cis gays and lesbians had the nerve (when do they NOT have the nerve, dare I say) to think they had the right to "honor [his] life as a woman" by having fundraiser dinners with his deadname attached to them, having college lectures where they talked about him as a lesbian hero, and using she pronouns for him until 2000. The USAmerican trans community, including trans activist Lou Sullivan, had to fight to defend Hart's identity and to have his manhood recognized by the wider community by protesting these lectures and dinners and having a conversation with the Portland chapter of the Lesbian Avengers association, which ended up having a favorable response and joining the trans community in the battle.

I want to end this by reporting the words of Candice Hellen Brown, a trans woman from Portland who wrote a letter to Just Out magazine in 1994 defending Hart's transness:

The Right to Privacy Political Action Committee in Oregon has a big fundraiser every year that is called the [deadname] Hart Dinner. When asked if I am going, I indignantly answer, "Not until they stop using the wrong name and gender for one of our heroes!" His name is Alan [. . .] He never wavered from his identity as a man, and upon his death, his widow continued to insist that he was a man. Why would such a straight man be called a lesbian by the gay community when today we would certainly call him a female-to-male transsexual? [. . .] He was transsexual or, at least, a transgenderist - a true pioneer. One who is seen as a hero by today's transsexual community. Please don't let him be taken away from us by allowing his old name to be used as though it were a badge of honor.

Think about this story every time the "trans men never contributed to anything in history" discourse resurfaces again. If this can happen to a famous historical figure from the USA and from a relatively recent time who medically transitioned and was explicitly out as a trans man, imagine how many others from other countries, historical periods, and situations have been erased or "reclaimed".

just watched a star trek episode about a planet that relied so heavily on it's computer system that they all forgot the basics of their own knowledge. and that allowed them to miss the fact that they were being posioned with radiation and nearly ending their civilization. because they couldn't use their own knowledge to figure things out. i bring this up for no reason in particular

gracerocky but crank the soulmatisms up. why stop at the petrova line being their string of fate? think of the stars dying so they can meet. think of adrian's atmosphere setting the ship on fire just so they can touch. think of the taumoeba leaking just so they can reunite.

think of how the very paths of their lives were made to converge from the very start. it can't be coincidence. a scientist and an engineer, two occupations perfectly poised to cover for each other's weaknesses in their mission to save the stars.

think of how humans have a deeper understanding of theoretical physics while eridians have are more advanced in material science. think of how even their species reflect how grace and rocky are mirrors of each other, two broken halves slotting together perfectly.

think of how xenonite functions perfectly fine in earth's atmosphere, despite the sheer difference from erid's atmosphere. a miracle material that allows both grace and rocky to coexist and eventually touch, like it was created for this specific purpose.

think of how grace's background as a teacher was necessary for him to be able to communicate with rocky. because he's used to explaining concepts in simpler ways to people who have never heard of them before, and he's learned to be very patient with it too.

think of how rocky's isolation drove him to desperate measures, so much so that he would do anything to make this partnership with grace work. because he's always trying to bridge the gap between them, even mimicking grace's mannerisms just to make things easier for him.

think of how neither of them could've done this mission alone. think of how there have been billions of years since the creation of the universe and there are trillions of miles of space between them and yet they still ended up at the right time and place to meet each other.

think of how grace could sit down, and rocky is the right height to be at his eye level. think of how rocky fits perfectly in the space between grace's arms.

think of how they were made to be with each other, in every way, shape, and form. a pair of lovers, ordained by fate and brought together by the cosmos.

If you search "Keyhole Gardening" on StartPage or any other search engine that isn't AI-corrupted, you'll get a bumper crop of information.

The Wikipedia page is very detailed.
