After medically transitioning as #MTF I find myself mostly branded a #trans #scientist & my work brushed aside as #DEI, despite 30+ years as a volcanologist, oceanographer, data scientist, science communicator, & professor at leading universities. Let’s celebrate #LGBTQ+ contributions as valid 🧪 🏳️⚧️

Besides, you’re a fucking SCIENTIST and a VULCANOLOGIST?!?!
That’s insane and beyond cool!!
I totally love what I do!

Just yesterday was thinking of making a post about a paper from a few yrs ago describing the longest high silicon (dacite) lava flows on earth, which happen to have erupted underwater in Tonga. Such cool rocks!
I can see why you might want to be female. Women are oppressed by men & some women. The oppression won't go away. But one might meet oppression head on and turn it around by talking about it with your colleagues. Demand validation as a human being first. Then inch closer Kenna.
In science, like most walks of life, many insecure men who pretend they are "all that" often hide their mediocreness by being bullies. It's a learned culture & a useful strategy. Look at the prez elect.
It is actually sort of affirming in a weird way.
The real DEI hires. 👇 No qualifications. No experience. Squat.
But HE sits back and fills his cabinet with MORE unqualified DEI hires.
Elon wants immigrants rather than American citizens.
Enjoy Unemployment MAGA's. 😡
America wasn't always this mean.
Don't get me wrong. My
parents, most of my grandparents, uncles/aunts, teachers and clergy would not hesitate to use the back of their hand to show me they ruled.
But they didn't hit strangers.
