#self identification

[j0die101]

(April 12th 2024)

No medical confirmation or psychological evaluation necessary. The law will be active by the 1st of November this year.

First names can also be changed while changing gender. One all inclusive package with minimum effort.

One of Rincewind's tutors had said of him that "to call his understanding of magical theory abysmal is to leave no suitable word to describe his grasp of its practice." This had always puzzled him. He objected to the fact that you had to be good at magic to be a wizard. He knew he was a wizard, deep in his head. Being good at magic didn't have anything to do with it. That was just an extra, it didn't actually define someone.

For the first time in my life, reading through (german) twitter fills me with joy by seeing all the nazis, conservatives and TERFS crying about the new self ID law in germany.

The draft of the new German law for gender self-identification is not as pro transgender as it might seem

Over at YouTube Unruly Juli reports on how anti-trans activists are trying to introduce transphobic policies in the German new self-identification law.

The new law, which will get rid of the old requirement for two psychological assessments before you can have your legal gender changed in official documents, makes it easier for trans, intersex, and non-binary people to legally change name and gender.

So far, so good.

But as Juliana points out in the video:

The Selbstbestimmungsgesetz [self-determination law] proves that letting people assert their identity in a more self-determined way can be combined with undermining that assertion at every turn and [with] increasing state repression against the people using that possibility in the same law.

Some trans people, like asylum seekers and refugees, may lose their residence permit if they make use of the opportunity given by the law, Juliana explains.

Trans women may also be drafted into the military as men if there is an emergency:

If a return to a compulsory military service was to actually happen and if it was to take the form in which it is laid down in the German constitution, everyone over 18 who has the registered gender male would be eligible to be drafted.

The draft bill says that if someone assigned male at birth tries to change legal gender  in "a case of tension or defense" they would still be considered male for the purposes of military conscription.

Moreover, the law does not fully protect trans women from harassment in women's spaces. Business owners can deny trans women access to women's bathrooms on their premises.

Children are not properly protected, either. Minors aged 14 or older can make use the new process, but they need their parents to agree to it, or they need to go in front of a family court and let that court decide on the change.

Juliana puts it this way:

Meaning, for instance, if a 16 years old trans boy happens to have unsupportive parents, he'll also have to deal with all the invalidation and abuse in school stemming from having a female name and a female ID registered on his documents. Or he'll have to take the burden of going in front of a family court and basically win a case against the people under whose roof he has to live with.

INDIE-GAME IDEA

To sum it all up:

In a cyberpunk world, there is the player character that is meant to be a self-insert for the player themselves. The player character soon gains his own control and starts rebelling in subtle ways. 

At one point, they start having enough of this chicanery and literally rips his eyeballs out of his head, blood and everything. It's gross. The player's screen would then go black once this action is done to visualize that we see through the character's eyes, but our view would return about 10 real life minutes later to see that the character got cybernetic eyes.

Once the character realizes that their still being controlled, they would obviously throw a fit. Because of this, he then starts by removing his legs to removes the player's ability to move the character. He would then get cybernetic legs but end up giving the ability to move back to the player. A cycle then starts where the character removes parts of his body, removing a function to the player, the part gets replaced with cybernetics, and the function returns. Eventually, the character just has enough and just...powers down, ig.

Decades pass, and the character wakes up to see that he's now in a rural house on some farmland with nature all around him. He got woken up by what looked to be a young teenager who was fascinated by the character and the technology of the past. the self insert would soon get a good view of his location, a world, one where technology and nature work in perfect symbiosis.

He would know that he’s still being controlled from there and would lose all hope of being free, but from there, the character, guided by a possibly guilty player learns how to be his own person and live off the land in the best way possible for himself.

If anyone needs to know about Cyberpunk:

If anyone needs to know about Solarpunk. (turn on captions, the person's hard to hear):

Example of Solarpunk:

Please know that I don’t know anything about game design. I can only come up with concepts for things and possibly get the assets for this hypothetical game made such as the character designs? That’s a big if tho.

Please, if you see this post, there is more content for this idea within the reblogs I put out of this post. Go check those out before you move on.

[fancywordology]

We exist because there are others to both perceive us and to compare and to contrast ourselves with

Because others are able to perceive me, and because I’m able to perceive them, we exist. One’s identity does not exist in a vacuum. Only with comparison and contrasting against others, interactions with others, and through others’ perceptions of me am I able to recognize myself. We cannot create a true identity in a vacuum.

Not to mention, no matter how we identify what our true selves are on the inside, that doesn’t negate that we are often perceived by others in a different way.

Others’ perceptions are a part of us and a part of our identity. There exists different perceptions and different people that we perceive ourselves as and what others perceive us as. We are all fluid in our being in this way. No one is exempt from this.

To be extreme, Hitler saw himself as the savior of Germany and the only people who thought so too were other Nazis. Everyone else thought he’s the worst villain to ever exist, the furthest thing from the hero he probably identified himself as. Most would say he’s delusional to think so and not recognize that he was a villain to most others.

Others’ perceptions do matter when it comes to who we are in reality. It helps us to grow and be self-aware and recognize how we are by comparison.

For example, by comparing and contrasting others is how psychiatrists and doctors are able to determine the difference between a person having normal levels of trauma and a person having PTSD. Or it’s how one can know how usual or unusual one’s actions, behavior, or thoughts are. When a person recognizes their trauma may not have been as severe as they thought, it can give them a sense of grounding to realize that their situation may not be so bad after all and that they can continue on with happiness.

While we shouldn’t let it impede us in being ourselves, it’s still a reality nonetheless because we wouldn’t realize we existed if others weren’t there to perceive us in the first place.

We are an amalgamation of perceptions of ourselves and perceptions of others and how they perceive us.

Piers Morgan talks to Delaware councilman Ryan Webb, who has recently proclaimed himherself a "lesbian woman of colour"

As someone who identifies as a seven foot tall, two-spirit seven-year-old paraplegic girl myself, this has been so inspiring to see. So brave of her to speak up, especially considering all the transphobic hate she has received from the Democrats and the LGBTQRS+-$% movement since coming out.

My beloved Queers I have come again to implore you of another frontier of Queer Rights. Remember first that our unity, compassion and solidarity are invaluable.

I want to speak about those among us who identify with it pronouns, or otherwise experience a need to identify in non-human, non-species, or even non-object ways.

To me this is a very interesting facet of humanity that I know so little about, but what has surprised me in many of the conversations I'm often seeing is fellow Queers treating these people with the same ostracization I've seen used on us for other things, such as being gay or trans in the way I am.

We do not gain rights by suppressing others. Rather we should feel that seeing these unique an atypical identifiers being used, as a blessing that our tolerance has made a space for.

And we must keep making that space.

I managed to turn a friend around on this instantly and the crux of what I was saying amounted to: "Why is it right for us to ask for rights and acceptance and not for them? If they are not hurting anyone (and they are not) how can it be wrong? We will often as people have to face our own discomfort about new ideas and put it aside to do the right thing, to be tolerant and accepting people. It is not just our duty as Queers, it is our duty as people, it is our duty as thinkers and feelers.

If you are struggling to comprehend this, simply cast yourself in the same place. Think about how you want to be regarded and identified and how important that is.

I think that so much discomfort about this comes from the fear of bigots casting us together. But we are not defined by bigotry. We are together. We are together because we choose to do the right thing. To be accepting. To be tolerant. To be patient and understanding.

This is a duty I expect and trust you to all take close to your hearts as I will.
