Can age 40 comprehend age 60's pilgrimage? Age 70 can.

January 7, 2016. Thursday 6:33am

"How happy are you right now? In 1926 a young English woman named Joanna Field, began to feel…that she did not know what made her truly happy. She kept a journal…the journal, “A Life of One’s Own” was published in 1934.

It was written, she confided, in the spirit of a detective who searches through the minutiae of the mundane in hopes of finding clues for what was missing in her life.”   From the Book Simple Abundance. A Day Book of Comfort and Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach

On the January 7 page.

End of this part of the entry

My margin note to the above: 

 Jason, although conceding that I love my work, thinks I should jump and run.

But, there is pleasure in the pilgrimage.

Suzzie said “You’re work is here. Say “Yes” to it. The negative will fall away.

Can age 40 comprehend age 60’s pilgrimage? Age 70 can.

Additional margin note to above entry: 

Just reading her book again now! (Re: A Life of One’s Own).

Note: 

In 2016, my personal trainer Jason wanted me to move to Costa Rica and become a counselor at a “meditation” clinic of sorts. Jason was 40.

I had an active criminal law practice going in Modesto, California at the time, but was struggling financially.

Suzzie, age 70, owner of Intrinsic Elements, a new age store in Modesto, said “Your work is here. Say “Yes” to it. The negative will fall away."

Two suggestions , Both given on January 6, 2016. 

I was 60 at the time.

I love Joanna Field’s book “A Life Of One’s Own” and highly recommend it.

And when I say a lot of t*rf posts end up on my dashboard I mean it and it’s always so hard to try to separate between the people who are ultimately well meaning and didn’t know and those who spread this stuff maliciously. That post is right tho if you know what r*dfem transmisogyny and transphobia looks and sounds like it’s harder to fall for these posts... the shitty thing about t*rf shit is that it trickles down, in a progressive scale from their blogs to seemingly “neutral” (but never actually neutral*) blogs that maybe sound a little iffy but never outright call themselves g/ender critical or name trans people, onto complicit popular discourse blogs and then on people’s dashboards. *Hell one time I saw a blog that seemed like an innocent supergirl femslash blog just to find she reblogged constantly from t*rfs posts that were just on the borderline and never outright mentioned trans people, only buzzwords and this is what I mean by “neutral” blogs that are actually complicit. This blog has a lot of followers. How many of them reblog these posts uncritically? And I wish there were more lists of said buzzwords and how to recognise them but

The reality is that we trans people especially trans women have to be constantly on the watch for shit like this. We know the arguments and we know why they’re bullshit. Meanwhile cis people don’t really know the specifics of their ideology and seem to fall for it over and over. And the worst thing about it is that t*rfs use this as confirmation bias that their ideas are actually good and everyone would agree with them if they just present it without the slurs and mocking. But the slurs demeaning and mocking are a fundamental part of it, and of trans exclusion in general. Fear mongering and dehumanising trans people are the mean to wiping us out of existence.

I won’t explain why those ideas are wrong because I’m starting from the assumption that my followers are not transphobic and don’t find statements like “trans women are women” controversial, but buzzwords include (warning for blunt discussions of transphobia):

- expressing “concern” about men invading women’s spaces or the “purity” of said spaces (they don’t use the word purity but as a concept in general). This concern is never explained, only stated, because once you look into it you find that it’s actually about trans women. As a side note, the whole “invasion” thing is a popular one and it is reminiscent of white s*premacist bullshit ... this idea that since gay trans people are “actually straight” we will eventually outnumber “the real” gay people by calling ourselves gay and invading their spaces. the more you know ... if this doesn’t ring a bell you need to look into actual n*zi theories like “the gre//at re\\placement” and then we can talk again. The jump from t*rf to alt-ri/ght trad mom is shorter and swifter than either of those groups would have you believe

- “males can’t be lesbians” a pretty non controversial statement if it wasn’t that male is code for trans women. “Men who fetishise lesbians” is also a tricky one because while this is indeed a real issue, they’re referring to “auto/g/ynephilia” aka the idea that the reason lesbian and bi trans women transition at all is just because they fetishise the idea of themselves as a woman/lesbian (contrapoints has a good in depth video about this that explains better than I ever could) — on the same note talk about how “male sexuality” is something inherently corrupt, oppressing, and violent, and cannot be healthy ever, without any other context given is also usually code for “trans women are perverts and sexual predators” . The word “p//ornsick” also comes up often so watch out for it.

- the pervasive idea that a group of “straight people fetishising being gay/a lesbian” is out there and threatening REAL gay/lesbian spaces starts from here. I’ve mentioned a/utogy/nephilia but “fujoshi” is usually code for gay trans men, with a similar idea behind it. We’re not really gay men, just straight women who fetishise the idea of ourselves as a gay man... at least that’s the idea behind it.

- which brings us to the point. “straight people invading gay spaces” is usually if not always code for gay trans people.

- kinda related to the above point, honestly you’re all fools if you think the whole ace discourse bullshit wasn’t just eventually a path to trans and bisexual exclusion. Trans and bi people have been saying this for years but no one wants to listen. That’s not to say that exclusionists are t*rfs but those ideas were popularised by them... that’s just to say learn where your ideology comes from before you endorse it and embrace it

- similarly “queer is a slur” started there so you might want to reconsider why you’ve been convinced to tag your posts “q slur” by people who use other homophobic slurs pretty liberally lol . “Queer means straight people invade our spaces!” + any talk about gnc straight men/women and how it doesn’t make them queer or lgbt, Yeah, this was about never about “gnc” it was trans people all along. The implication is that trans people don’t exist, so we can be nothing but gnc “males/females”. Congrats! You’re a fool! Now don’t make me read this bullshit ever again.

- stuff that makes fun of said “gnc people” “queers” , man buns, undercuts, brightly coloured hair, specific names (aiden comes to my mind) careful about posts that mock the concept of “queering heterosexuality” they’re usually about gay couples with one trans and one cis person, or where both people are trans but with different asab. (ie a gay trans man dating a pan cis man, a trans woman and an afab nb person dating will get mocked as “straight people” who are just pretending to be anything but) sometimes it’s also about bi people jsyk but...

- “forcing young lesbians to not identify as lesbians”/“stop telling young lesbians they should be/are men” is also a big thing. implies that trans people are out there recruiting teenagers who would otherwise be cis lesbians (or more rarely cis gay men) and forcing them into identifying as trans. “young lesbians” also doesn’t always mean young lesbians it’s usually meant to misgender trans men who already identify as men (but in this theoretical framework trans as a concept is nonexistent, a perversion, a delusion, so what could we be but porn/sick straight people or delusional, misguided cis gays who fall victim of a conspiracy)

- entire blogs dedicated to d/etransition (or “reidentifi/cation” as they call it now) experiences that don’t bother to acknowledge that their experience is not universal and au contraire seem to want to push detransition as the one way to happiness especially for afab people. Yes I do think that people who detransition should be able to talk about it, but if the conclusions you draw are “this didn’t work for me so it’s toxic and bad for everyone”, and openly advocate against trans people’s existence, you’re full of shit. Only a small percentage of trans people detransition: over 90% of us are satisfied with the results. It’s all just concern trolling.

- posts about how dysphoria is either a “delusion” or a “normal female experience”, posts that sound a lot like body positivity but they’re actually pushing for detransition (ie you should accept your body as is, surgery is mutilation of your already perfect body etc etc) this is also tricky but it’s all in the language. Phrases like “young women who undergo surgery to fix their already good bodies” could refer to a variety of things but it’s all in the context. Words like “reconnect” “reidentification” are usually presented as alternative. Dysphoria is usually not named and referred to as a delusion or social pressure and something that should never be considered real, ie if you see something like “young women undergo surgery to chase a delusion” it probably comes from a t*rf. be wary of any surgery talk in general is my point because it’s usually presenting gcs as on the same level of lip fillers and Botox (ignoring that trans people face infinite struggles to access surgery and social ostracism for pursuing medical transition so it’s not the same AT ALL)

- talk about stuff like “hrt is dangerous actually” and “binding is horrible actually”? Yeah. You can guess where it comes from. It’s important to acknowledge the risks of hrt/binding but sensationalism about how it’s dangerous and could kill you and so on... it’s just overblown concern trolling to convince people that medical transition is mutilation and a conspiracy to kill the above mentioned “young lesbians”

- sentiments akin to “t*rf is a slur used against lesbians” even if not presented this way are also a red flag, sorry. If you don’t want to be called a t*rf, maybe don’t speak and act like one.

- the sad news is in the end there’s no way to discern whether someone is a t*rf or not because a lot of the time these same talking points come from blogs that have little “t*rfs don’t interact tee hee!” Banners on their description. A lot of r/adfem blogs out there are side blogs of people you wouldn’t usually suspect. Maybe they are vocal against trans exclusion, and in support of trans people, and then switch accounts to hurl about how horrible it is that they feel forced to welcome us “sexual pervert straight people” into their spaces. That’s why imo it’s more important to recognise the ideology than it is to look for clues. Again, if it sounds like one, it’s probably one :’)

DRA Explanation

Desisting / Detransitioned

Desisting here means at one point considered yourself the opposite sex (or in contemporary American English, a different gender).  You have now stopped.

Detransition is usually defined in relation to transsexualism, where your goal is to permanently pass as the opposite sex/other gender.  Being able to able to pass typically requires hormones and surgeries, but since community perceptions of gender/sex differ greatly and influence passing, it is not always required.  Going through a process in order to change other people’s perceptions of your gender/sex without regard to hormones and surgeries is known as social transition.  Some people have socially transitioned only.

Regardless of whether you think completing part of a medical transition is required to be detransitioned, what’s most important to being detransitioned appears to be taking substantial action to make others know you are no longer trans (essentially, reversing/undoing your transition process).

Reidentified

Depending on who you talk to, reidentified may either be synonymous with desisting or may be a more specific kind of desisting.  Some people consider themselves reidentified not just because the stopped considering themselves as the opposite sex but because they’ve also now strongly identified as and with their actual sex.  Within American modern transgender identity terminology (based on the post-modernist view of gender), some people consider themselves reidentified because they stopped considering themselves transgender and/or agender and started considering themselves cisgender.  Because of the potential confusion, some may avoid the term and stick with “desisting” or “no longer trans”.

Androgynous / Agender / Gender-Atheist

From The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition, androgynous means “being neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine, as in dress, appearance, or behavior.”

Agender is a much more contentious word.  Within the post-modern framework of gender (and within most of tumblr), it means a lack of identification with any gender, whether it’s because you feel you are too androgynous to be any gender, lack solid identification with any gender, or because you simply do not understand gender, other than that some people have it.

You may call yourself agender in order to signal a distance from contemporary gender identity politics or to avoid issue with such politics, or for political reasons.

Outside of tumblr, idpol, and po-mo (post-modern) communities, “agender” evokes a sense of sexlessness, and is primarily used to refer to sexless beings, particularly in sci-fi, like robots and aliens (gems from Steven Universe are an example).  Because of this, calling oneself agender is an easy way to start a fight as many people consider true agenderism to be sexlessness and therefore impossible in humans.  “Agender identified” and “non-binary” or “enby” somewhat circumvent this issue.

Agenders who believe that pomo gender is a too-flawed-to-function overlap with gender-atheists.

Although it is normal for agenders to demand gender-neutral language to be used on them, it’s not required.

Gender-atheism is a newish term coined by the tumblog of the same name.  It is to disbelieve that gender stereotypes are innate, and belief that pomo gender theory is too flawed to be valid.  In a way, it could be said that gender-atheism is “disbelief in gender entirely”, or a refusal to accept gender on the basis it is harmful.  Gender-atheism shares much with second wave/radical feminism and lesbian feminism, and is as much a political ideology as it is a personal label.
