I recognize my dysphoria as the feelings of numbness/nothingness I have over who I am. Like for most of the time, I feel a distance from my body like it's just kinda there rather then being me. Come to realize that there's words for this specific type of dysphoria Ie depersonalization and dissociation. I mean come to understand I do have the more traditional traits too, not liking my facial hair, body hair, face and body etc in general but most of the time it's just no feeling at all.

That's also why I believe people should focus on gender euphoria, because I think that every trans person does experience some dysphoria it's just can be extremely hard to recognize. The question that cracked my egg after doing research about trans topics was "do you think you would be happier as the opposite gender" and instinctively I knew the answer.

Ugh I can see why but like at a certain point you just gotta say fuck it and fight it in court. Cus it feels like cutting funding for providing medical a certain type of care should be illegal.

Honestly the second a astroturfed laws case like this started by the "institute of free speech" or what ever bs right wing think tank that pays millions to its lawyers to lie about the law. It should be thrown out. They should have been forced to get an actual untainted lawyers, doubt the transphobes would ever find one not payed for by a conservative think tank tho.

I honestly don't see much of a downside here.i mean it sucks for the organizers who handle the event but that's about it. It's a good thing the corpos are gone and have stopped pretending to care. Even if they can't find funding worst case scenario is queer people show up anyways.

The war on drugs is back lead by a more racist person then the original war on drugs president.

He might of shifted the focus, idk. I mean it makes sense tbh the transphobes current day are different then the transphobes when he made the og video. A lot of them are more defensive and not willing to listen no matter what someone online says.

If I where him I would of changed the target the audience from transphobes to be trans allies and people who don't know much about trans people(but aren't transphobic). Cus those folks might be encouraged by this video into trying to deradicalize transphobes they know irl cus and the more accurate scientific information you know the better you can argue against bs. So it's less of a casual debunk video and more of a study guide people might want to re review multiple times till it fully sticks.

Also imo the only chance modern transphobes might change is if someone they personally know well and respect tells them they are harmful.

 

The video by Forrest valaki discusses a large series of scientific concepts around gender, sexuality and sex. It has an entire scientific research team credited in the description and 377 references but of course transphobes don't care and would rather look like a fool throwing play ground insults around. This whole video and interaction made my day. Transphobes can be a very funny bunch.

The last one can easily describe Django. Feels like depending on the code base/your mistakes/people you work with can easily turn a normal project into a project where majority of the files is just migration files.

At least they are allowed a ThinkPad.

I think it might be a photoshop job(possibly AI generated) thing rather then coming from some particular movie/tv show.

Imo, sure it's very very unlikely to have anything happen. But if there's even a small chance we should continue trying. I don't think it's impossible for a politicians understand that people want something via a petition like this and offer a modified bill that has concessions so it doesn't fck with any agreements we have with the US but still support trans 'refugees".

Also it's not really about being friendly it's more just that if shit does hit the fan and everything planned in the executive orders happens folks have a place to escape to even if it's not perfect. Since those kinda anti human rights laws are a lot harder to do in Canada then the US.

You would still have to go through the same long and hard process as any other asylum seeker. Idk where you get the idea that trans people would be prioritized all this petition is about is legally qualifying trans people as apart of the class of people that can seek asylum in Canada.

If you want an actual discussion is a statement like, "we shouldn't help asylum seekers because what's stopping an immigrant from exaggerating the conflict they face in their original homeland to try and seek asylum?" In good faith?

The organization seems fairly reputable but I can't 100% confirm anything. But I don't think petitions have to go through Canadian government website for it to be successful Its just the a more typical approach.

Saw this on bluesky and thought I'd share here since I think there's a lot of trans folks trying to find ways out of the US and this could potentially help in the future.
