@marleenstikker @roeldobbe @dmugge Het probleem met „publieke waarden“ is dat het hele #extreemrechtse blok en hun kiezers hun morele compas compleet kwijt zijn. Ik zie maar weinig initiatief in de openbare ruimte om fundamentele waarden überhaupt nog te benoemen. #AI #techconcerns #digitalisering #innovatie #nofascism #humandignity #personalfreedom #sustainability #privacy

Two years to freedom!

Exactly two years ago, I was sitting at my desk at my old job, bored, reading a blog post by a trans woman I had started following on Mastodon, when I saw this:

If you’re under the assumption that you’re a cis guy but have always dreamed of being a girl, and the only reason you haven’t transitioned is because you’re afraid you’ll be an “ugly” girl: That’s dysphoria. You’re literally  trans girl already, hon.

I stopped reading. I stared at the webcomic with this accusation. My mind started spinning. I said to myself, “Oh. I think I should keep reading.”

I gave a detailed account of the following week in this blog post. In brief, that week culminated in a moment of existential panic that resolved into knowing who I was for the first time in my life. By that time, I had adopted a new name. Two months later, I started hormone treatment. Six months after that, my new name was official. 

A lot has happened in the last two years. I feel like I’ve lived more than in the previous twenty years. I learned to love unconditionally. I’ve changed careers. I’ve moved. I’ve got boobs! 

But most significantly, I’ve come to know who I am on a profound level. I’m a chaotic genderfluid nonbinary transcendgender woman. “Chaotic genderfluid” because my energy shifts around the whole field of gender identities, and even I can’t predict when and how it will shift. I’ve accepted that, no matter how much I yearn for complete femininity, I have masculine aspects that are an integral part of who I am; I’m definitely nonbinary. 

But I don’t consider myself partially male, partially female. I’ve learned a lot about gender in the last two years.1 Gender is not tied to physical, hormonal, or chromosomal sex. It’s something we’re indoctrinated into from the time we’re in our third trimester, something we learn in childhood until it becomes deeply ingrained in our teens. Binary gender is an ideology that is so rigidly enforced, we come to think of it as normal, and every other possibility as a deviation. 

That’s where transcendgender comes from. I don’t consider myself pangender or agender—or even polygender. I identify more with the feminine than the masculine, but I transcend the need to identify with any specific gender. 

It was a liberating realization. As I’ve said elsewhere, I’m the best of both worlds, but bound by neither. After five decades, I’m truly free.

ARE AMERICANS TRULY INDEPENDENT? Technology has advanced communication and convenience. It has also impacted independent thought and created concerns about transparency in government.

I just cancelled our #WashingtonPost subscription. We struggled in recent months with the whimsy exercised on the editorial staff, but this is such an insult to subscribers. Personal freedoms are the opposite of free markets. In addition, we are not refunded the balance of our payment, which extends through June of this year. BTW, I had closed an account with Amazon in 2010. Bad business model.

JD Vance thinks people who don't have kids are "more sociopathic" and "less mentally stable"

Which explains why he's against personal #freedom to make your own life choices regarding becoming parents. That's why he's against birth control and reproductive freedom.

Congress manifesto is not perfect – but kindles some hope

With promises to restore personal freedoms, recognise civil unions and improve health, the party puts forth a vision to mend India’s economic and social fabric, writes Harsh Mander.

Live-in couples in small town India have it rough – Varanasi to Vadodara, Aligarh to Alwar

Live-in relationships are on the rise. So are the social pressures. The Supreme Court has widened the rights, but pushback has come from high courts, statutory bodies, politicians.

Code that is neither uniform nor lawful

Uttarakhand UCC is only the latest of the State’s attempts to control intimate relationships. It should be consigned to the dustbin of illegality, writes Gautam Bhatia.

Are anti-conversion laws antithetical to the Constitution of India?

In recent years, a slew of anti-conversion laws have been passed in many states. They blur the line between forced conversions and the right to choose one’s religion, argues Raushan Tara Jaswal in this piece.
