We're not people to them
We look like people
We act like people
But because something immutable in us
We're not people
Which means we're okay to abuse
Legally, physically, mentally, socially

I both really do and do not want to read this. “Do” is going to win, of course….

Just be careful. There are a lot of possible triggers in it.

I’m assuming they run about five per page. :)

Uh…in certain sections, yes. I had to stop a friend with PTSD surrounding sexual assault and abuse from reading it at the last minute.

I just read it last fall, but I’m getting the urge to read it again.

Metaphor can of course be multi-layered and mean many things at once, but I'm starting to think the neural sponge is almost like transness itself.

There's a lot about transness that's still a black box to the cis, and it sure seems like it should stay that way.

Wow I never thought of that but I LOVE IT! Why does neural sponge act the way it does? It actually doesn't matter, just that it does

lowbeyonder.bsky.social•2 days ago
