    but that’s aspirational at this point; right now I’m due-diligence jumping through hoops that my doctor keeps putting in my way to gatekeep me from transitioning. honestly though, i really did need to lose all this weight. i’ve recently surpassed a hundred pounds down, but i’m still at least 125 more away from a healthy enough condition to put my foot down.

    it’s gonna be rather compelling and demonstrative of this not being a fleeting ephemeral whim that only arose ‘just recently’ when I can look a doctor in the eye and state with total honesty,

    “I have dedicated several years of persistent effort to drag my weight down into a healthy range specifically because I promised myself that I would pursue a gender transition if i made it. I have lost more than my entire current body weight specifically in pursuit of this goal. If you try to tell me after all of that, that all my effort toward this exact goal was for naught, The Result Of Your Decision Shall Be Very ‘Unhealthy’ For Me, DOCTOR.





  • huh. i have somehow managed to instill within myself a penchant for unambiguous specificity in response to this question before this ever became a problem for me.

    “Are you busy?”

    “I am not available for any communication at this moment except for textual.
    I anticipate my response time shall be approximately between 30 and 300 seconds.”

    people redefine ‘right’ and ‘left’ quite often to suit their own internal narratives and post-hoc rationalize riding with a crew that they … basically actually chose on vibes.

    now, i’m not saying that there’s nothing to that!

    there certainly ARE sets of overlapping traits that are more likely to show up among people who identify as ‘left’ vs people who identify as ‘right’.

    i’ve been criticized for using the wikipedia definition of the left-right political spectrum–that of being social equality on the left and social hierarchy on the right. (Although for the most part it DOES seem to fit.)

    the world has changed a lot since the french revolution where people seated themselves in the national assembly with the monarchists grouping up on the right side of the room while the revolutionaries sat on the left.

    i also see versions of it where people base it on concentrating power and authority into the hands of the few vs distributing and decentralizing that power and authority democratically.

    however.

    capitalism both concentrates power/authority AND enforces rigid hierarchy where those who own the equipment, machines, tools, structures, real estate, etc (the capital) are ‘above’ those who perform the work.

    which is to say:
    Yeah i’m pretty sure the sentiment here is correct that capitalism is inherently right-wing. (all the stuff i wrote above is WHY i think it’s correct.)
