I really like The Battle of Chile and A Grin Without a Cat.
Is that really a legitimate argument to deny a human basic respect and dignity because most people don't understand it? Trans people face structural inequalities in employment and healthcare and those should be legitimately addressed and solved. This is always the problem at first for any marginalized group. There will also be a nasty reaction that hates the idea of change or having to be aware of someone different from themselves. The answer to that is push forward. And when we talk about science it doesn't have to be used so literally as genetics, chemistry, or physics, but rather as a methodology that is evidence-based, rational, reasoned, and informed. We should be aware how this talk of "science" has been historically weaponized against marginalized groups to rationalize and also naturalize their unequal status. And we should be cognizant of what is science and what is intuition (that can be informed by unaware biases and cultural attitudes).
Yep. I feel like I'm one of the few people I know that even cares. lol
I view tattoos as a fake rebelliousness. As a teen, most want to get piercings and tattoos and it bafflingly occupies their conversations. But I agree that most tattoos are poorly thought out, poorly placed, and honestly even poorly done. I wouldn't say I hate tattoos because I have seen some that I liked, but I can say I don't understand why people care so much.
