on Misogyny (Art by Paxiti) · c/transmemes · 29 pts · 224d

Well, that's probably only true for some people and only for a certain period after coming out to yourself. Sure, it was euphoric feeling seen in my gender identity when I faced misogyny for the first few times. But once I felt more at home in my gender identity, it wasn't pleasant anymore.

I actually know plenty of cis straight women who are repeatedly seeking out men that treat them awfully because they think they don't deserve anything else. I would so far as to say that straight culture is based on misogyny.

Less so with friends, because most of them are queer and/or trans themselves. But sometimes I have that same thought regarding all the other people I know, like my family, flatmates, or just strangers...

Es gibt ja verschiedene Wissensstände in der Gesellschaft und mMn ist es tatsächlich erstmal besser eine größere Masse weg von big tech und hin zu open source Projekten zu leiten. Gerade Marc-Uwe Kling ist ja recht anschlussfähig in der Mehrheitsgesellschaft, da kriegt man vielleicht noch viel mehr Menschen mit überzeugt.

Wenn man Menschen jetzt selbsthosten näher bringt, dann ist das ja nur wieder das gleiche, was beim CCC eh schon auf dem Programm steht und nur 0.01% der Bevölkerung interessant finden. Damit würdest du sicherlich nicht viele Leute überzeugt bekommen.

Aber ja, ich würde es natürlich auch toll finden, wenn viel mehr Menschen sich für ihre digitale Souveränität bzw die Technik hinter ihren Geräten generell interessieren würden.

Non-binary and trans are not separate concepts though. I identify being trans, but that doesn't mean I have to be super binary. And the struggles my non-binary friends face are also mostly the same. It is certainly harder to use they/them, neopronouns or no pronouns. But I can still relate with that struggle very much and support wherever I can.

But I agree that it is hard to relate to most trans memes posted here. They are often very binary and rooted in gender stereotypes. But I think this isn't a you-problem and more of a problem of this specific lemmy community and various trans spaces online. As a trans person, I'd wish there would be more nuanced and relatable takes, not so much idealization of cat girls and anime...

Regarding the OP, I wouldn't be interacting with strangers like this because I'm socially too anxious.

I think even orally taking bioactive estrogen is not ideal because the body tries to filter it out. So when taking estrogen orally you need a much higher dosage then via injections or gels. With plant hormones you'd need an even higher dosage than that...

This is not true. It isn't any prove that people that weigh more than the "healthy" range are less healthy. That is just more stigma against fat people. Obesity as a concept is deeply intervowen with stigma.

I can recommend the podcast "Maintenance Phase", where the hosts tackle these misconceptions and the stigma with deep dives into the actual research. Most of the debate about health is just bullshit and more about normativity and power than it is about health.

Sure, although in most trans women not as much that C cups would be seen as small.

Anyways, that's not what the other person was talking about. They used specifically "overweight" as a term to devaluate someone.
