@GrumpyOldNurse @susansiens Yeah, that can be hard going. I got into it with an old boss of mine from when I worked in the U.S. over email about his visceral hatred of China vs U.S. goodness. Didn’t end well.

So I’m sitting here right now donating plasma. They made me wait which is fine, they’re busy. One nurse hooked me up. Next minute a tall good looking 50-something guy comes in. Three nurses swarm him falling over themselves to hook him up. Maybe he’s some bigwig…or maybe he’s just a man. Depressing!

Identity Theft: A RambleI’ve been wondering why the TRA Movement (TRAM, because I’m not sure what to call it) has affected me so much, down to my very marrow with so many emotions — I mean, aside from all its objective outrages — and I had a thought about that this morning: Identity Theft (I’m sure it’s not an original thought, but since I came to it myself, it’s original-to-me.): I don’t identify as a woman, I AM a woman. So being a woman is part of my identity, it’s part of who I am — actually, it IS who I am. And what the TRAM has done is steal that identity from me. I realised, too, this is yet another reason the T is a completely different beast from LGB: LGB did not steal anyone else’s identity. Even if you consider LGB to be an identity, or part of one’s identity, as opposed to (or as well as) a sexual orientation, being LGB does not steal from, say, heterosexuality/straightness. It is its own thing.Then a related thought came to mind: That this ‘identity theft’ is also why this can never ‘succeed’ in the way TRAM wants it to, i.e. that we will all give in to TWAW. TRAM simply cannot succeed in stealing the identity of half the entire population, taking from us our womanhood, along with everything that goes with it: pregnancy or the risk thereof; menstruation and all its cultural trappings; yes, oppression; … the list is endless because it includes everything about how we live our lives in all our different societies/cultures, which all have their own ways of doing ‘womanhood’.This form of Identity Theft is so profoundly deep. Because it’s theft, it goes without saying that this was done without my consent, and I am being forced by the state to not only accept it, but to enforce it on others. That is why it’s not a social/political issue OUT THERE that I can take or leave, engage with or not. It is MY identity that has been stolen. At some level, I really don’t know how to deal with that. I guess I can’t really put into words this particular idea of ‘identity theft’, so the above is inadequate. But, anyway, I’m going to think some more about it, maybe try to write something more coherent at some point. I suppose it’s more an effort at articulating how this FEELS to me, than some argument for or against. I’d welcome your thoughts, sisters.

@GrumpyOldNurse @Tiggy Seriously asking, is there never a case whereby someone with psych torment should be able to choose to die this way? Though this was something I didn’t know, that blew me away: “when MAID is provided to the imminently dying, it’s a 50-50 gender split. As many men as women seek and get it. Experience in the Netherlands and other countries shows that twice as many women seek and receive MAID for mental illness.”

@UrbanGardener @GrumpyOldNurse Ahhh. You gotta work on that selflessness, but I guess in your profession that would be rather contradictory.

@AzraMajere Oooh, what a beauty! Does it have a name besides "tapinauchenius gigas molt 6"? How cool that you keep spiders. Post more pics...though I guess there maybe should be an arachnophobia warning. 😀

@nina I watched that. I don't like that kind of music much, TBH, but the ... art is awesome. :-)

@AnungIkwe https://twitter.com/TitaniaMcGrath (= Andrew Doyle) has been onto this from the beginning. I'm thinking back to just a year or so ago, and this shit hadn't broken through into MSM like it has now. I'm too bitter and cynical to proclaim the turning of any tides, but I first got obsessed around 2013, and there was very little awareness then (aaaahhh, the good old days of the r/gc sub!), so whether the tide is turning or not, there sure is a whole lot more awareness. (She says, realising she sounds a bit desperate for some fucking good news in this cesspit that is the early 21st century so far.)

Anyone ever do obit google stalking, e.g “obituary 2022 [insert name of person i hate]” secretly hoping, but not wanting to actively wish it were so because, you know, karma?

Well, I guess I'm the only sicko (or person with exes old enough) who does this. And who replies to their own posts. 😈 😈

@sunspot Awww, there’s me… Aotearoa New Zealand. I’m looking out at that very ocean right now. What a place to live. :bunlove: (It’s called Te Moana nui a Kiwa by the Maori of Aotearoa NZ, i.e. ‘the great ocean of Kiwa’, Kiwa being an ocean guardian.) Magellan named it Pacific, but it’s a nice name I think. Thanks for the pic.
