‘In 2015, Rachel Dolezal, a white chapter president of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was vilified for identifying as Black. Some men choose to identify as women, and some women choose to identify as men. You will be vilified if you deny that they literally are what they identify as. Discuss.’”
Richard Dawkins




I now choose to identify as Aboriginal man.

Octagonal mirror
A circular, reflective surface would have sat within this beech frame. This mirror would have been considered a luxury item on the Mary Rose. Looking at your own reflection in a mirror can bring up lots of emotions for both straight and LGBTQ+ people. For Queer people, we may experience a strong feeling of gender dysphoria when we look into a mirror, a feeling of distress caused by our reflection conflicting with our own gender identities. On the other hand, we may experience gender euphoria when looking in a mirror, when how we feel on the inside matches our reflection.

When looking at items salvaged from a Henry VIII-era warship in a museum, the thing you really want to know is how it might induce psychological crises in the sexually dysmorphic.


But wait - there is more!
Nit combs
The most common personal objects that we found on the Mary Rose were nit combs. There were 82 in total. These nit combs would have been mainly used by the men to remove nits from their hair, rather than using the comb to style their hair (which would have usually been covered up by a hat). However, for many Queer people today, how we wear our hair is a central pillar of our identity. Today, hairstyles are often heavily gendered, following the gender norm that men have short hair, and women have long hair. By ‘subverting’ and playing with gender norms, Queer people can find hairstyles that they feel comfortable wearing.   


Who comes up with such crap?  Step forward,  Dr Hannah McCann, a senior lecturer in Cultural Studies at the University of Melbourne, expert (!!!) in  “queer fandom,” “queer theory,” and “hair and beauty salons” . Ah...

Today's word is: irony.



A Trans Woman Has No Place Moderating An FTM Surgery Space

The r/phallo subreddit has devolved into chaos recently because of their new rule against "unnecessarily gendered language" and some post getting taken down for saying "hey guys."

A post was written by a nonbinary person talking about how cis women who want phallo (not even going to get into that) and other nonbinary people should be welcomed into a subreddit about creating a penis for transmasc individuals and trans men.

I looked into the moderation and found out one of the main mods of this ftm (female to male) centered, or at least AFAB centered subreddit, is a trans woman (Male to female).

What business does a trans woman have moderating and making decisions about an ftm space? Do trans men literally get nothing lmao?

I don't see trans men moderating and sticking their noses into trans women's business and subreddits, so why do we get the same treatment?

Gist: Women should be allowed to have female-only spaces. Even when they want to be seen as men.
It’s a special moment in Identity Studies.  An entirely new complication, a new source of umbrage.  How excitement!

They need mental help.

Arrested for saying "lesbian".
