Where I’m at, we’ve got a 45mph truck route going through the middle of a residential area, which lead to a kid running out in front of a semi a few years back. I’d say the primary blame for that specific incident is with whoever zoned it like that, and not the trucker who wasn’t familiar with the area.

It has a fair share of copypasta, and I am curious what would make copypasta a meme, but not a twitter screenshot.

So, I’m afab and probably agender, which is where the confusion is coming from. I’m on estrogen and progesterone because otherwise my cycle is stuck to ‘on’, so even my relationship with hormones is complicated.

Neither of these things directly tell me my subconscious sex, but when the testosterone makes me feel awful, or when being treated and seen as a woman makes me feel wonderful, or when estrogen gives me mild waves of buzzing bodily euphoric, I make inferences about my subconscious sex from that.

See, none of that resonates with me at all. Going off my meds makes me feel terrible, but that’s from the resulting anemia. I’ve tried living as a man, I’ve tried living as a woman, I’ve never gotten that “yes, this is me” feeling that people talk about. I don’t know what “psychological self conceptualization” as a gender means, because it’s all uncomfortable for me?

It feels like what you’re talking about is the university course and I’m still in primary education.

When I say gender identity is biological, I am talking about what Julia Serano calls “subconscious sex” which she also sometimes interchanges with “gender identity”, which is basically that innate and unchanging sense of your sex / gender.

Okay, but what about those of us that have never had an innate and unchanging sense of my sex/gender?

That doesn’t match up with what KnowYourMeme.com says

Memes are broadly defined as culturally transmitted information or ideas and beliefs that can be spread from one organism, or group of organisms, to another.

Just like learning how to cook for yourself is a poor solution for people who live in a food desert or don’t have access to a kitchen, sure.

The title literally says it’s a secret. If he’s not the only one saying it, then it’s not a secret, and the title is dishonest.

Hey, I only hoard garbage in my depression nest #notalldragons

It’s one of those things you kinda had to be there for. Japan used to be practically synonymous with new tech, and now it’s just been baked into the aesthetic of the genre.

Honestly, ‘patriarchy’ is a terrible term that leads to so much confusion. Too many people use it as ‘blame men’ and forget that it’s supposed to be about men being culturally cast as perfect leaders and therefore punished for not meeting those impossible standards.

I have high hopes that the spreading acceptance of transfolk will start to break down the weird gender roles we’ve got, and maybe we can talk about some of this stuff more directly.
