There is a standard media depiction of a "healed" person. Someone who has Gone To Therapy. I've noticed this in a few works recently. We often see them at the end of a story, maybe in a "ten years later" epilogue. They speak in a soft, serene voice. They have Accepted what they cannot change. They have let go of a lot, including most of what we see them actually care about in the story itself. They are Happy, At Peace, in some non-descript way. They bare little resemble to the person we were actually shown. They bare little resemblance to any person. We were shown, as we usually are in stories, an agent, a desirer, someone becoming. Now they have Become. And they look back on all that silly becoming as something childish that they have moved past. Fire, you know, fire is for children who don't know any better. To be Healed is to have your fire rightly extinguished; to not even miss it.

Trying to explain even one ounce of class/caste/ethnic/religious dynamics in South Asia to somebody completely removed from it is so humbling like sometimes I forget how cartoonishly insane all of it is. The racism factory that churns out new types of racisms

It's pretty crazy that nobody at Boeing is ever going to be held legally accountable for these plane crashes or the whistleblower they assassinated

While I experience transphobia and homophobia...I do not experience systemic oppression because I'm a man.

Transmisogyny is the intersection between transphobia and misogyny. There is no intersection between transphobia and misandry/androphobia because misandry and androphobia are not systemic problems.

We have unique problems that we deal with as trans men...and you know? I think we can just talk about those without blaming trans women or comparing those problems to what trans women experience.
