The self identity thread.

Apparently this is real?

Crip guts, stomas, and the violence of ‘returning to normal’: a feminist queer crip approach to the gut - Humanities and Social Sciences Communications

I examine the violence of discourses of normality around bodily difference and the complex temporalities of the gut through a focus three key moments in my crip gut experience – late diagnosis and (not) being believed; stoma representation and stigmatised imagined futures; and, the gut remembering colonial pasts – before arguing for queer stoma pride as a destigmatised collective refusal of normative gut discourse and valuation of crip gut knowing.

So if I have IBD, is my gut ashamed of my colonial past or upset it didn't get more of its share? Poor with a work ethic, maybe my gut is rebelling because we didn't get the easy life 200 years ago?
 
This is interesting commentary:


The trans in girls sports is called an 80/20 issue, it's really a 90/10 issue, just 10% of these people will hide their true beliefs if polled. This cased has huge implications.

Boys/Men have a right to participate in sports, I'd say they have no right to participate in women's sports, no matter their identity. There are some "conservative" big law firms out there. But uh, this shows you that Law which for generations leaned conservative has started to lean very liberal, liberal in such a way that it is incredibly damaging to the American way of life.

What are the firms? Dude couldn't provide names?
 
Americans have derailed.

We are no longer a collectively intelligent society. We are just a bunch of fucking bald howler monkeys - chasing our base instincts - throwing our shit at one another - while a few of the smarter ones drink expensive scotch and solve complex math problems.
 
I should link them from the twitter, but I won't. Cooley Law is embarrassing themselves today, and probably embarrassed themselves all the way...how it got to the Supreme Court I'll never know.
 
I thought to myself, what would happen if you made gender reassignment stuff completely illegal and gave people resources to cope with their dysphoria like idk, therapy?

Well, there's a woman who was a year ahead of me in school. When we were kids she was always a Tom Boy, always in sports, but not really feminine. But also not trying to be a dude. She's been married for a few years now and has a young son. but midway between now and then she had come out as gay then trans, but she also never took hormones or got surgical reassignment. She just grew out of that angst, hard to tell where it came from because her home life was a lot more stable than mine. But we were both in the same Daycare a lot and you know, most kids hate daycare after about nine years old. Anyways, she's still a Tom Boy, buzzes the side of her head and puts her hair in a fo hawk. But she's a woman in a happy marriage. Happy Birthday Jac!
 
Treating the kind of mental health issues that result in gender dysphoria has no profit margin

-if I'm reintroduced to the joy of NOT cutting my dick off then my dollars stop getting spent for bullshit "validation" treatment
-if I come to grips with WHY it is that I feel "this way" then my insurance dollars stop flowing
-if my mental health improves and I become a stable productive member of society, I can no longer be politically exploited

Why do so many "decent" human beings refuse to realize that this is NOT about gender dysphoria and the people afflicted by it - it is about manipulating and exploiting vulnerable people for power and profit...
...its for the children

I'm always fascinated by how many people refuse to acknowledge that course of action as at the very least - A possibility
Nope.
It's more fun to say the POTUS is out of touch.
The left is delusional
The right is uncaring
...blah blah blah

The truth is - most people are stupid - and refuse to consider that there "might be another way"
 
Celebrity circus freaks - and these award shows are the "big top"

and to think Barnum and Baily was ran out of business for teaching Poodles how to ride a bike
