Transgender visibility Day 2020

 


Hello everyone.

This blog will be a quick statement on trans visibility day which is March 31st, this year it falls on a Tuesday.

Transgender visibility day is one of many days of pride and awareness for the greater LGBTQIA+ communities, in particular for the trans community.

I am a non-binary transfeminine person. I am trans and I knew I was for almost 3 years since 2017 but didn't start transitioning in 2018 when I had supportive friends and came out to them as well my family at home. I had a support system at home established, I then felt it was safe to be out and transition to be my true self, and I'm glad you're on This Journey™ because transformation and adventure is one big giant process I couldn't do it without you!

Jokes aside.

My friends were probably the reason why I am today.

Some details about my transition. I have been on feminizing HRT for over a year and that's amazing. So I am glad that I am the real me and I have met wonderful people, some of whom I am dating. I felt supported this past year as I took a lot of steps for my transition, such as legal name change and retooling my entire style and wardrobe. Of course, I got better at makeup.

It's nice to be myself. If you know me personally or parasocially on my platforms online, maybe you will see me be my true bright self.

With love and gratitude
-Brittany.

Confessions of Isolation

Hello My name is Diana, and I am a loner, or I am lonely, it really makes no difference, maybe there is, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Are we not also lonely here? The past two years caused by many things, we don't need to talk about the details, we already pretend everything is back to normal again. Though what is normal? Normal, as the cliche goes, is just a setting on a washing machine.  I think of myself as just plain crazy in a normal way, like I know I am mentally unwell with verified labels and others I can just speculate and think I might have, but that is beyond the scope of this blog.  Being a freelance writer is kinda of a lonely job especially when prior mental and physical health issues seem to get in your way. I try my best to network, build community, make friends, meet with loved ones and so forth– anything or anyone can help though specific details will make or break the level of comfort and intimacy we may go with, not to overshare too much of course.  Life

As a trans woman I think that...: A Short Essay on Transmisogyny

But but why would you wanna be a woman?! Why not, being a woman absolutely rules! Especially a trans woman, yet not everyone agrees especially those are absolutely against us. We debate, argue, and just ask the hard hitting questions. Are trans women women? Of course they are. Trans women are women!  This is what qualifies as ally-ship on twitter these days.  I get the intent though, and it is true– 100% and no falsehoods, however, it comes of as a meaningless platitude because it is backed up with no deeper thought or action. I have been reading Whipping Girl by Julia Serano and also TransGressive by Rachel Anne Williams, two books by trans women. The former is a foundational text for transfeminism and Serano's thesis is laying out transmisogyny as part of a core analytical theme of transmisogyny. It is a good read, provided you think like an academic, otherwise it is pretty dry. Think of my essay as the ketchup on a hamburger. So in this essay, I will provide a quick simple

A Neoplatonic Pagan Philosophical introduction on The Problem of Evil

 Hello everyone, Salvete Omnes The famous problem of Evil often attributed by Ancient Greek Philosopher Epicurus follows as this "God, he says, either wishes to take away evils, and is unable; or He is able, and is unwilling; or He is neither willing nor able, or He is both willing and able. If He is willing and is unable, He is feeble, which is not in accordance with the character of God; if He is able and unwilling, He is envious, which is equally at variance with God; if He is neither willing nor able, He is both envious and feeble, and therefore not God; if He is both willing and able, which alone is suitable to God, from what source then are evils? Or why does He not remove them" This exact formulation is actually from De ira Dei , a treatise by the Early Christian writer Lactantius, who definitely heard of Epicurus being from the Eastern Roman Empire who sought to make a philosophical tradition contrast with what he (presumably) saw as pagan hogwash and he was
