surgery was a month ago and like. on paper this seems obvious, but as it turns out, resetting ~13 years of your own mental snapshot of yourself takes longer than that

I keep jumpscaring myself in mirrors going "whoa that looks WAY FLATTER THAN– oh right :)". I'm startled by the way shirts fall when I take off the post-op compression vest at night. I'm alarmed and confused by the absence of sensations that, when I had them, I actively hated. I've gone to multiple queer events in the past week and looked at flat-chested people, especially other transmasc people, with envy thinking "I wish I was flat :/" only to remember that I literally already am. I keep expecting the other shoe to drop, like finding out that this is just the trial version of a subscription service where I have to go back quarterly for new surgeries, or I rented this one but have to give it back when the lease is up, or someone's finger is hovering over cmd+Z to undo it

but in fact. this is mine and I get to keep it. it's pretty neat but it's definitely going to take some time to update the ol' mental mii

Hey y'all, if any of you are in Hamburg tomorrow, come meet me in the Gängeviertel!

If you didn't know, the Command Queer collective is organizing an alternative to the CSD parade in opposition of rainbow capitalism and a CSD culture that they feel isn't always welcoming to everyone it should be inclusive of. Their SPEKTAKEL is set to start with a rally in front of the Rote Flora from 14h-16h and then move on to the Gängeviertel.

The Queer Referat will have a booth there in the Gängeviertel (we're planning to start set-up around 17:30h, so we should be done around let's say 18h) and I'll help man it - come say hi! 🏳️‍🌈

S&T: 30% top positions for women, spousal benefits for LGBTQ+

India’s latest national science policy — Science, Technology, Innovation Policy (STIP-2020) — has given a decisive push to make the S&T ecosystem more diverse and inclusive by design by providing a renewed impetus to mainstreaming of equity and inclusion. With an overarching focus on equity, it mandates that there are at least 30% women in all decision-making bodies including selection and evaluation committees, while also entitling Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ+) community for retirement and spousal benefits. Also, a dual recruitment policy in all governing bodies, funding agencies, so that couples do not face the challenge of ‘choosing’ a spouse’s career over theirs is mooted to bring gender neutrality. But most importantly, the policy, according to the draft, proposes to set up an “Equity and Inclusive (E&I) Charter”, that will tackle all kinds of discriminations — gender, caste, religion, geography, language, disability and other exclusions and inequalities — by drawing essence from different E&I frameworks like the Athena SWAN (Scientific Women‘s Academic Network) Charter14.

Renowned scientist Prof Rohini Godbole, who chaired the committee on equity that made many of these recommendations, told TOI: “I am most happy about the recommendation on E&I having been included in the policy. While the numbers (reservations etc) and other specific access-related issues are important aspects, the most significant part is the focus on equity and not just equality.” She added equity includes aspects like grassroot innovations, access to people from remote areas and so on, and is not just a gender issue. The policy guarantees equal opportunity in academics for women and other genders, people from remote areas, marginalised communities, differently-abled groups, caste, creed, religion and race. “The LGBTQ+ community to be included into all conversations related to gender equity. Provisions will be made to safeguard their rights and promote representation and retention. Differently-abled individuals, including Divyangjans, will be given special attention. Institutions are to be mandated to make structural and cultural changes for supporting such excluded groups,” the policy reads. DST secretary Prof Ashutosh Sharma, said: “Key goals are to enhance ease of doing R&D, expanding funding opportunities and providing access to S&T information, technology and infrastructure. To achieve this and become self-reliant, we have to be all-inclusive and that’s reflected in the focus on equity.” On women-specific issues, the policy addresses ageism-related issues and minimisation of career breaks for effective retention of trained women. “All career milestones (recruitment, awards and funding schemes, age cut-offs) will be implemented considering academic age rather than biological/physical age. This’ll not restrict to gender but will include a broader context,” it reads. Flexibility in work timings and adequate parental leave — Childcare benefits should be gender-neutral — will be provided to cater to maternity, childbirth, child care and other emergent needs. Biocon CMD Kiran Mazumdar Shaw said: “Overall, from the focus on R&D, proposed incentives and private push, the policy appears to have the right intent. The E&I charter is especially encouraging and an important step in the right direction. But I hope that what looks good on paper is also translated to spirit when it comes to implementation.”

This panel considers how the imagined futures of trans and intersex people act in clinical practices. We examine how the pasts, presents and futures of trans and intersex young people constitute particular possibilities for gender and sexuality. How are sexuality, pleasure and sexual possibilities entangled in these gender treatment practices? What assumptions about sexuality, progress and development inform youth gender medicine and how are these intra-acting with temporal models and assumptions about gender? Informed by STS approaches to reality, multiplicity, time, actor network theory and research ethics, we consider what it would mean to be a good social citizen in the face of systems that act-as-if eradicating trans and intersex people from our shared future is a desirable, if difficult to attain and ambiguous, objective.
