Because there are a lot of implicit assumptions in the design of BlueSky that data will exist permanently forever. (Basically being designed on top of a financial "blockchain" data structure.) 121

Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 11h"Being Trans" is not a mystery cult that requires initiation by a priestess, but what if it was? I think there may be some historical precedent for this. 080

Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 11hThis reminds me of something Carlos Fernando Flores Labra said about learning English (his native language is Spanish) that… (I'm trying to remember, & I can't find an exact quote) the words that people use to talk about stuff effects their behavior about that stuff (but not the same as Sapir-Whorf) 110

I'm no longer confused by this pattern myself anymore because I eventually figured out that my EX is a pathological liar, but I haven't fully expunged these lies from my own mind. 110
Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 12hThe "lying about what other people think about you" trick was one that my EX used a lot to both manipulate my actions and to isolate me from every other person I knew, one at a time.

Reposted by JuliaJulia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 08/09/2023I don't know if it is worth the effort for psychology to reclaim the word "Gaslighting", but a stranger on the internet who is wrong about something, and arguing from their incorrect position, is NOT gaslighting you. They are just wrong. That's just called 'being wrong'. Words have meanings. 1131156
Reposted by JuliaJulia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 17/07/2024The word "Gaslighting" is not a synonym of the word "Lying". "Gaslighting" is an interpersonal abuse technique used to force a victim to only trust and rely upon their abuser to determine what is *reality* and to force the victim to distrust their own physical senses and memories. 16687207

Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 17hBeing "trans" (whatever that means) is not a fandom or private social club with a bouncer. You can't be gatekept out of "being trans" if there is no "gate" or "wall" to "being trans". Also… words have meaning… a vague word that means anything is not useful for communicating about something specific 1120
Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 17hSome random trans woman on the internet does not have the power and authority to declare you 'officially trans' or not. She does not have the power to "gatekeep" you from "being trans" (whatever that means). There is no "gate" she controls. There is no resource she can stop you you from accessing! 2140

Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 17hYou can't pass through the "Castle Curtain Wall" to get the hormones & surgery inside, without convincing the "Gatekeeper" to let you through. Nobody else is stopping you except the Gatekeeper & other law enforcement officers. If there's no "Curtain Wall" then there's no "Gate", and no "Gatekeeper" 170
Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 17hOk, you see how this "Gatekeeping" works, right? You understand that the "Gatekeeper" requires power & authority, right? A psychiatrist has the power & authority to diagnose "Gender Identity Disorder", and prescribe medical treatment for it. A random trans woman does not, even with a GID herself. 160
Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 17hEveryone else who is not the "Gatekeeper" or who has the authority & power to command the "Gatekeeper" to do something, is not a person who is keeping you out of the castle. A peasant on a farm can not "Gatekeep" you out of the castle. A Yeoman can not "Gatekeep" you even when inside the castle. 170
Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 17hIf you wanted to enter a castle, you needed to convince the "Gatekeeper" to let you in. There are lots of way you could do that (like convincing the regent to command the gatekeeper to let you in), but the ultimate authority and power to enter the castle gate rests with the "Gatekeeper". 160
Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 17hI think I should elaborate on this [quoted post]. Medieval Castles had a thick "Curtain Wall" with a heavily guarded "Gatehouse" with a "Drawbridge" & "Murder Holes" to trap intruders, etc. The "Porter" or "Gatekeeper" controlled access through this "Gate" by raising the drawbridge and stuff, etc. 2102

Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 18hI needed to transition ("MtF" as they say) because of my physical flesh and blood human meat body. I was going to die if I my mind was trapped within a phenotypical male human body. I don't give a fuck about wearing makeup or high-heel shoes.

Julia @foxgrrl.northsky.social · 18hThis is an incredibly good expression of a thought I've been struggling to express with regards to the use of medical treatments for gender disphoria. If I was alone on a deserted island (or the last human on Earth), I would still need HRT and SRS. I needed to transition for myself, not for society 1150

Reposted by JuliaAnarchy Goose @anarchygoose.northsky.social · 04/10/2026I think the reluctance to say that abusers shouldn't have positions of power comes back to Great Man Theory.
