I’d like to point out that actual studies have linked trans suicides to constant misgendering as a cause (one of, I should add), whereas affirmation of gender is known to do the opposite. So intentionally misgendering trans people is pretty much legit trying to kill them.
In other news, water is wet.
Where the study/source?
I’m uber busy at work and I don’t have the time to pull up the specific spot it’s discussed. But, look up the work of Dr. Ry Testa. He’s a trans man tackling these issues.
Someone who knows how to navigate resources and has the spoons and time try and find the paper, save trans momma the trouble.
Sounds super legit though. Being misgendered almost always causes some dissociation and social withdrawal form me since it belittles my identity. I don’t get suicidal thoughts but I could sure as hell see how someone who does would be affected by that.
Misgendering a trans person is a violent act. It’s an emotional abuse that cuts deep into who we feel we are at our core. We have enough to deal with internally, adding external voices to that can destroy us.
@TERFs who insist misgendering is just ‘hurt feelings’
chinese water torture is where they drip drops of water on someone over a long period of time. it can drive anyone to madness and even cause them to take their own life. But it’s just water, right? It’s a good analogy for misgendering someone in that while you purposefully misgender someone, it’s like looking at a single drop of water and saying “I don’t see how this could possibly be harmfull” and blatantly ignoring all the other drops that came before it. This shit adds up.
Instructions: Thin with water to increase flow as required. Paint with it.
Stuart Semple is so full of gentle but pointed snark and a burning desire for accessible art, I love him. I love that no matter what Anish Kapoor does, Stuart Semple will be there, making fun of him and selling affordable art supplies to anyone who wants them.
Petty art feud coming full circle, can I put the popcorn down yet?
So is hypersuperveryblack usable as a modelling paint? It could have some uses in the Grimdark future.
Tempted to get some to try it out.
