#natural/human nature politics also has strong roots in christianity too but i don't think that aspect is *necessary*

[uncanny-tranny]

The obsession with "natural = good" isn't truly rooted in what is "natural" but is rooted in complex politics based on what is deemed "natural" by others - those in power. The whole "natural is pure, is right, is morally just" has not historically applied to the marginalized because of our supposed proximity to the "unnatural." Our bodies, our behaviour, our lives and souls will continuously be defined as "unnatural" so long as "natural" remains seen as pure and godly, so long as "natural" is equal to power.

#politics #genuinely don't know what to tag this as lol #definitely have talked about this before but. shit like this continues to affect me and others y'know? #and this especially affects me on a trans scale - where trans can never be defined as 'natural' so long as natural means cis (and het too) #natural/human nature politics also has strong roots in christianity too but i don't think that aspect is *necessary* #but it does affect how people are defined if they are in a culture which values christianity i've noticed #shit that's part of the reason my medical transition was delayed and threatened because it was 'unnatural' and a 'privilege' i must 'earn'
