waiting for this chud to realize that not everything in science fiction is inherently fiction by being in a fiction story. humans are not fictional because they are featured in science fiction. typical american media literacy tbh.

wow i actually took psychic damage from reading some of her retweets

okay, i'd like to see this smug asshole explain to palestinian people why they don't deserve to live so he can have a president that makes hollow statements about social justice issues and doesn't actually do anything about them. he lists off all these issues as if they're somehow on the line in this election, like we have a choice in protecting abortion, lgbtq rights, climate progress, etc in this election. dobbs happened under biden, 1/4th of the country passed anti-trans laws under biden, numerous mass shootings happened under biden, the climate is still worsening under biden, the border wall and racist detainment of immigrant children is still happening under biden. i'd love for him to make another stupid little video in his car explaining why genocide is completely permissible to him so he can have genocidal maniac from blue side instead of genocidal maniac from red side.

almost every post on there is just one really angry guy lmao

if you mean the concept of transness as a disease, it's just from the pathologization of deviance from cisnormativity, one that's perpetuated by the medical system. if we know gender to be a social construct (there is no biological basis for gender, and a very shaky biological basis for sex), and is enforced for the benefit of capitalism (it is in the interest of the bourgeoisie to enforce rigid gender roles and by extension the traditional nuclear family unit, it's productive to generate more workers. the men go out and work, the women stay home with the family, and under the view of reactionary biological determinism, you aren't allowed to change what you were assigned. i recommend the first few chapters of "sexuality and socialism" if you're curious about this), then there's nothing really inherently wrong with deviating from it and identifying as something outside the gender binary or identifying as something different than what you were assigned. but obviously the capitalist system, and by extension the medical system, enforces this social construct by pathologizing that deviance. but don't let that convince you that transness is a disease or affliction. the truth is that it isn't, its just a simple condition of being that comes about because the complexity of human expression does not always fit neatly into the constructed rigid binary. it's just a descriptor for how we interface with the social structure of gender, not something we did wrong or is wrong with us. at least, this is my view on it.

oh yeah it is absolutely the medical structure that made so many of them internalize it. i've observed that so many of them seem to treat transness as a disease or an unfortunate affliction they must overcome through treatment and that's 100% a result of navigating the medical system. its an inherent flaw with tying transition to the medical system i think, but i digress.

but its also just them being older too. they just grew up with heavier enforcement of the patriarchal standard (women look this way, men look this way, you need these parts to be female and these parts to be male). its super generational, i think younger transmeds are a very loud yet tiny minority.

something like this integrated with space exploration would be super cool as well. im thinking: you can travel to different planets and collect plants from them and they have different genetic traits that you can bring back to your farm and crossbreed them with your plants with a somewhat accurate replication of mendelian and non-mendelian genetics. or maybe this is just my own fantasy as a biologist lmao.

there are a sect of (mostly, in my experience) older, white trans people who still seem to be locked into the rigid structure of gender roles and believe that you can only be considered your gender after numerous (very expensive!) surgeries and presenting in a certain way.

yeah, from what i remember, they pioneered a form of it called double-barrel shotgun sequencing, where both ends of the sequenced DNA fragment are analyzed for overlap instead of just one.

shotgun sequencing predates celera and the HGP, but yeah

this guy (the one demonstrating in the video) is beyond annoying. he's somewhat popular on tiktok. the whole bourgeois etiquette bullshit is irritating as fuck. stuff like chewing with your mouth closed is obviously fine, but once you get into prescribing specific behaviors for something as mundane as eating as being "cultured" or "high class", its bullshit.
