"Still bothered by the US cultural idea that men can only be non-romantically intimate with one another in war-like or competitive circumstances.
skaldish Follow
I'm pretty quiet about the fact I'm a transman usually, but holy shitl need to tell you about the culture shock I'm going through because it's blindsiding me.
There's a huge sense of social isolation that comes with being perceived as male, because now people are subconsciously treating me as a potential predator. All strangers, no matter their gender, keep their guard up around me.
It made me realize that there is no inherent camaraderie in male socialization as there is in female socialization-unless, of course, it's in very specific environments. And the fact I don't amnbiently experience this mutual kinship in basic exchanges anymore is an insanely lonely feeling.
You know how badly this would have fucked my mind up if I had grown up with this?

It is 4:30am and I'm mourning the loss of a privilege I didn't even know I had.

Anyway, I'm going to figure out how to navigate this. Don't know how yet, but I'm gonna."Quote Repost of user 'azaloset' by 'Skaldish':
"If you figure it out, can you share your insights? This is a fundamental as to why im in the closet"
Answer:
"Absolutely, because it's an extremely sticky issue.

Frankly, this is something I would've never understood without living the experience.
It's now blatantly clear to me that most cis men probably experience chronic emotional malnutrition. They're deprived of social connection just enough for it to seriously fuck with their psyches, but not enough for them to realize that it's happening and what's causing it.
It's like they're starving, but don't know this because they've always been served 3 meals...except those meals have never been big enough.
This deprivation comes from all sides of aisle, by the way.
In the case of women: When I'm out in public and interact with women, all of them come off as incredibly aloof, cold, and mirthless. I have never experienced this before even though I know exactly what this composure is—the armor that keeps away creepy-ass men.
As someone who used to wear it myself, I know this armor is 100% impersonal. Nobody likes wearing it, and I can say with absolute certainty that women would dump the armor in favor of unconditional companionship with men if doing this didn't run the risk of actual assault. (Trust me when I say women aren't just being needlessly guarded.)

(cont.)Continuation of the post on the previous image:
"But I only have a complete understanding of this context because I've experienced female socialization. If I hadn't, I would've thought this coldness was a conspiracy against me devised by roughly half of the human population. Even now, with all that I know about navigating the world as a woman, I'm failing to convince my monkey-brain that this armor isn't social rejection.

And as for male socialization? Again, it seems taboo for a man to be platonically intimate with men for reasons I have yet to fully understand, but I think it boils down to a) the fact society teaches boys that it's not okay to be soft with each other, and b) garden-variety homophobia. Our media only shows men being intimate with one another when they're teamed up against a dire situation, and I'd bet real money it's a huge reason why men gravitate toward activities that simulate being teamed up against an opposing force.
But men are not machines of war. Yes, testosterone absolutely
gives you Dumb Bastard Brain, but that just makes you want to skateboard a wagon down a hill or duct-tape your friend to the wall, not kill someone.
The human species looks so much colder standing from this side.
I can see how men might convince themselves that their feelings of emotional desperation is personal weakness as opposed to a symptom they're all experiencing from White Imperialism. Because this human connection, this frith, is as essential for our wellbeing as water is.
So sick. How sick. I want to destroy this garbage.
#this is a certain perspective you gain from having crossed the gender barrier"

We need less "I'm autistic and I work/pay taxes" in response to RFK Jr's comments and more "autistic people are still valuable even if they can't do those things." We can't leave anyone behind in our efforts to "prove" a eugenicist wrong.

‘Show Me Where You Make Autism!’ Shouts RFK Jr., Storming Sour Patch Kids Factory
EAST HANOVER, NJ—As part of the health secretary’s highly publicized pledge to determine the cause of the disorder in the next five months, a wild-eyed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly shouted “Show me where autism is made!” Thursday while storming the Sour Patch Kid factory. “Attention Sour Patch Factory people: Give me the autism and no […]

The correct response to rfk saying he wants to exterminate autistic people is to loudly tell him "die, motherfucker" instead of trying to explain that human lives have value.

I am autistic. I pay taxes, I have a job. I dated. I get the desire to push this narrative autistic people DO accomplish these to rebut Kennedy. But there was a time when I DID NOT have a job. And non-speaking autistic people or thise with intellectual disabilities don't. They have worth as well.

You can not have it both ways. Know that, by supporting the Harry Potter franchise, you send a message to the trans community that your support only exists until you are mildly inconvenienced. Until you have to make the smallest sacrifice.

Clive Barker gets it. faroutmagazine.co.uk/hellraiser-c...
Noting Rowling’s vast financial success, Barker felt that Rowling’s newfound position of fame ought to exclude her from discussing trans rights. He added, “It really just seems redundant for a woman as successful, as validated in the world, as Ms Rowling, to be negative, to be disruptive if you will, to a very beaten up subculture. These are human beings. She has no right to opine, I think, upon the lives of human beings that she does not know.”

“I feel very protective of people who are on the edge of our culture as gay people still are,” Barker continued. “And certainly transgender people are on the edge of our culture. And here you have one of the most successful people in the frigging world – Ms Rowling. Going after a very emotionally vulnerable portion of our culture. It just seems unnecessary and unfair.”

In all seriousness, denying the autistic experience of sexuality denies our humanity. We are able to make connections and live full human lives... This rhetoric has been used to take autistic rights and lives away forever. So we gotta fuck louder.

It’s not nice to hear but Biden has been the von Hindenburg of his era. He and Garland let the US down in a catastrophic way. If Hitler had been stopped in 1933 millions of people would not have died. Biden and Garland had the chance to stop a Hitler but they didn’t. History will judge them for it.

Progressive activists are being disappeared and deported and we are still getting conservative whine-fests in national outlets
For the Berkeley College Republicans, the election is not a sea change. They say people still spit or curse at them while handing out fliers on campus.

"You don't get representation from the school. The school doesn't put out rhetoric defending you, your beliefs, or your own safety," Muniz says.

He adds: "The main thing that's allowed us to be free in our speech is the legal action that the university knows that we will take, if we're not treated fairly."

UC Berkeley spokesperson Dan Mogulof said the university defends the full diversity of student perspectives and that the College Republicans were "the only student organization that has been specially defended by the chancellor" this academic year.

Without fail if there is some act of genuine moral good that's even slightly disruptive there WILL be establishment democrats who come out of the woodwork to poopoo it. This is because, as we have established on multiple occasions, the democratic party doesn't actually believe in anything.
