Today is my 365th day of HRT!
For the last year, I've been taking a selfie every day (without makeup, even!). Now I've turned them into a timelapse video so you can see a whole year of HRT changes in a little over thirty seconds.
I have been looking forward to sharing this for so long, I hope y'all enjoy it. :)

No longer experiencing crisis level distress
Recently its been intense.
And its over now.
An long empathy session met my need to be heard and understood and validated. Yes the mother of my child has some particularly unpleasant ways she shows up, yes I am in almost total community isolation where I live, yes getting my first banning was outrageous and yes its because they don't know any better.
trapped in a server contract
Today I was banned from an online community that was very precious to me.
I have never been banned from anything before.
The harsh judgements that were directed at me were very hard to hear. I was shocked that a group of mods could hold such judgements in silence for so long. Then ban me without warning.
I must be a shit person.
I was accused of being a liberal and many other things. I only learnt of these things after I was banned. I have no access to the data, the data was deleted. No obervations were made, no shared understanding built. Just ideas of 'we are right' you are wrong - learn, be nice.
It would be easy for me to throw judgements back, and I did throw some back in private as I expressed some of my outrage.
I must be a shit person.
Or a stupid person.
Or a naive person.
or just another traumatised person.
see you in the next one.
internalised military metaphors
In this video Let's talk about what spears can teach us about creating change....
The metaphor is one of violence. This scares me. Is the metaphor of military object for social change useful? OR does it simply repeat the problem and at the same time play into the hands of those with the biggest spears?
Another scary things in the video, 'to get that idea into normal political discussion.' OK what is 'that' idea? apparently , 'people who are not 100% ideologicaly pure.' suggests that the author knows that idea is and is not and that the tip of the change spear can be 'pure'. Hmm. What is 'normal', and what 'political discussion' actually has influence?
I wonder if the author has looked at Habermas's idea of the public sphere or Nancy Fraser's ideas of those with less voice in the sphere because they aren't men (or other *subaltern* public)?
Come on, please lets deconstruct dominator culture already.
Is there perhaps another way?

AUTISM RESEARCH + RESOURCES
https://monotropism.org/ hosts resources created & maintained by #ActuallyAutistic individuals & features evidence-based #AutismResearch. They hope for fuller #autism understanding & on-topic language development by focusing on the concept of #monotropism: a phenomenon that seems to pervade those on the autism spectrum. Quote: "monotropic minds tend to have their attention pulled more strongly towards a smaller number of interests at any given time, leaving fewer resources for other processes," which may serve as a partial foundation of full understanding of the autism spectrum.

U.S. forces sent to Britain in 1943 expected to export racial segregation. When white MPs insisted that a local pub segregate, the owner replied he would. When MPs returned the next day, they were met with โBlacks Onlyโ signs & British barmaids telling white soldiers to wait their turn when they assumed they would be served before black soldiers. This set the stage for the epic Battle of Bamber Bridge.

In general, I wish that people would listen better and ask more questions, instead of assuming they get what I mean when they don't, or ignoring what I took valuable time to explain.
The single biggest thing that would benefit me, that no one ever seems willing to do, is if people would just take the time to understand what autism really is. To read even a little bit about it, or ask some basic questions. I spend enormous amounts of time and energy to meet non-autistic people not halfway, but where they're already standing. Do that for every person you meet, all day, every day, and see how quickly it wears you out. Even a little bit of movement towards halfway on the part of a few people I interact with regularly can have a profound impact on my energy and frustration levels.

Depends very much on the individual. But in general, question your assumptions. For example - if an autistic person seems grumpy or angry, that might be because you are misreading their expression and body language, and they're actually fine. Or if an autistic person gets really upset about something that seems trivial to you - it might be because it's not at all trivial to *them.*
Neurotypical people are often used to having their experiences and needs affirmed because most people around them have similar needs. To the point that they often don't even consider those things as "needs" at all. It's just common sense that x thing is bad and needs to be fixed or changed.
An autistic person might be just as disregulated by having an fluorescent light in their space, as a neurotypical person would be disregulated by having their car break down, or having a colleague scream at them, to use some clumsy analogies.
Hope that makes sense.

Most autistic people I know will deliberately not disclose their disability based on past experience of being forcibly outed and then being fired for it.
ActuallyAutistic group reshared this.
"Disclosing your disability doesnโt always end well." is a HARSH euphemism.
IRL: If you bother to disclose ANY kind of disability, or even dare to mention it somewhere in your CV, its a next to 100% guarantee to NEVER get a job, to lose your current one ASAP .. or "worse", to be permanently discriminated* and harassed.
*discriminated is such a nice word, one can get away with anything. just call it what it is: racism / ableism.
ActuallyAutistic group reshared this.
Not discounting your own personal lived experience here.
However, I disclosed my autism (once I knew I was) at all subsequent interviews and have been fairly successful in getting work.
however I was lucky in that I had a fairly impressive CV accrued prior to my diagnosis. So perhaps that's more of an issue.
Perhaps getting on the bottom rung is harder/impossible. I "cheated" I guess by playing an NT for 45 years first !

I'm not "out" at work - well, they know I'm gay, they just don't know about the autism. I don't know how they'd react, but my particular set of quirks works to their benefit, so they could be fine.

And of course, it goes the other way as well - i.e., when it doesn't pronounce the things. English pronounces these exactly the same way: "b" as in debt, "c" as in indict, "g" as in sign, "k" as in knife, "l" as in calm, "m" as in mnemonic, "n" as in column, "p" as in pneumonia, "s" as in island, "w" as in wrong.

I didn't know either, but Wikipedia explains it:

I had always figured unsilent initial "ps" like in "psychology" would have the same sound as non-initial "ps" as in "caps" or "oops". So imagine saying "oops - ychology" and leaving off the initial "oo" sound.
As for "pneumonia", the same Greek root "pneu-" in that word is present with a *pronounced* p in "apnea" (literally "no breath"), and I imagine it would end up much the same.
ActuallyAutistic group reshared this.
ActuallyAutistic group reshared this.
I'm sure an actual linguist can add more, but here's something I've noticed.
When borrowing words from other languages (so not talking about Old English words that developed silent letters, like "knight" or "wrong"), English seems to reduce a lot of consonant clusters, like "ps", "pn", and "mn" ("mnemonic"), but only at the starts or ends of syllables. 1/n
ActuallyAutistic group reshared this.
So, we get a silent "gn" in "sign" and "malign", which come ultimately from Latin, but not in the related words "sig-nal" and "malig-nant". And similarly with "pn" from the Greek root "pne(u)-" meaning "breath". It ha a silent "p" in "pneumonia" but not in "a-pnea".
Then there are all the words from French with silent letters, but those are kind of their own universe. 2/n

Huh. At least in my flavor of American English, years ago, the more strongly anglicized pronunciation (/r/, rather than /ei/, at the end) was more common, and even preferred, with the /ei/ version considered affected.
That was 30-40 years ago. Now I hear the /ei/ version more often.
It's still heavily anglicized either way, with the first syllable being "foy" instead of "fwa".

Maybe it is chemo brain, but I don't remember a double "l" being silent.
As for the "t" at the end of a word is it almost never pronounced, but there are exceptions. I don't think there is a rule to the exceptions.
Actually, here's an exception. In my dialect, the final "t" in tout is sometimes pronounced.
Here's another exception: sept. The "p" is not pronounced but the final "t" is.
Same with huit. The final "t" is pronounced.
But in vingt we don't pronounce it.

Itโs like watching a puppet or something. Thatโsโฆ not me. And I know it was, but at the same time I find the proposition that that was me to be slightly nauseating.
It makes me wonder if people who survive near-starvation or wasting sickness have similar reactions to pictures of when they were suffering.

•Yeah, that's about the reaction I get when I look at old pictures, even ones just earlier in my transition. "Slightly nauseating" is exactly it. Like, I can't stand it because it makes my skin crawl. Justโฆ nope.
Meanwhile, I'm like "when I get boobs, I might post more lewds" totally happens.

Jeez, just the logistical challenges of lighting and posing lewds seem insurmountable, and thatโs before I even get to te thought that itโs my body involved!

•Congratulations on one year! ๐ฅณ
I started about 3 months before I turned 48, so yeah, definitely not too late.
And I love the video so much! Especially the part about the changes on the inside. โค๏ธ

•@caroline Everybody keeps being amazed that Iโm only a year in. I just have long hair, I started with long hair, thatโs all it is, I swear! ;)
And thank you. :)

•itโs not just the hair!
For real, you look so natural and how you should be that itโs like youโve been a girl your whole life (this is because itโs true ๐)

I'm at 7 months and I've just started to notice my face has changed slightly - so I'm hoping I can have something approaching such a dramatic change

•The difference in the cheeks especially. Like there's an entire muscle group that was laying dormant that has suddenly got a whole lot more use. ๐
