Up late doing some pretty depressing research.
Human beings can do such wonderful things.
We have created so much that improves life for all.
And yet... we also have *such* a history of doing harm, then rationalizing the harm we do with claims to upholding "sacred" traditions.
The history of things done to feminized bodies is truly the stuff of nightmares.
We've come a long way out of superstition in a *very* brief period of time.
And we're always closer to backsliding than we might think.
for some women this past year, the back sliding has already started, @MLClark
Agreed.
Though I'd go further.
I think we saw a lot of masc people admit what they really think of feminized people in 2016. We've been bracing ourselves for the consequences of that emboldened attitude ever since.

The reason itโs so good to hear it summarize like that is because it helps me (and other readers of your work) have perspective to manage whatโs happening Better in my mind. without structure it just feels like confusing chaos.
Thank you, seriously thank you so much. What youโre doing is so valuable and Iโm sorry itโs so โฆhurtful or scary or nauseating to do the research for it, @MLClark
@Armchaircouch
And you, so generous and so kind. Thank you, Kat. I was in tears after reading the last medical journal article that I did. ๐ I'm so grateful to have had such a warm heart in your presence here. May you always feel so supported in moments of your own.
