I will never forget that the world watched the genocide of our people and mocked us for it. Gaza will never be forgotten.

@KK_cooper117 @philosopherkang @m4ngon1nja @BasedTuber " people" I would like to dispute only this part !

@philosopherkang @m4ngon1nja @BasedTuber Nah I’ll keep living just to spite people like you :)

You chose it, dude.

@SpellboundBella @RN91378 @anishmoonka Punitive justice advocates are always a couple dialogue lines away from slavery , eugenics, mass murder, etc.

@RN91378 @anishmoonka So you want slaves.

A Harvard psychiatrist studied 15 prisoners kept alone in their cells for weeks or months at a time. 14 developed the same mental breakdown: hallucinations, paranoia, panic, brain fog they couldn't shake. Stuart Grassian published this in the American Journal of Psychiatry in 1983 and called it SHU Syndrome, after the Special Housing Units prisons use for isolation. When prisoners left solitary, most of those symptoms faded. The cell was doing it to them. Brain scans show the damage too. In 2019, researchers at Charité Berlin and the University of Pennsylvania scanned the brains of nine people before and after a 14-month stay at a remote Antarctic research station. The hippocampus shrank by 7 percent on average. That part of your brain handles memory and how you find your way around. The prefrontal cortex (planning, self-control) also lost volume. And BDNF, a protein that helps brain cells grow and form new connections, dropped sharply and still hadn't recovered six weeks after the team came home. Same biology, just from being cut off from the world. The UN's torture investigator Juan Méndez ruled in 2011 that solitary confinement beyond 15 days counts as torture, because the brain damage past that point can be permanent. The UN General Assembly made it official policy in 2015 and called it the Nelson Mandela Rules. A 2020 review in The Lancet Psychiatry pulled together 77 studies covering 35,351 prison suicides across 27 countries. People serving life sentences were 2.4 times more likely to take their own life than other prisoners. Prisoners in single cells were 6.8 times more likely. In California in 2004, isolation units held less than 10 percent of the state's prison population but accounted for 73 percent of all prison suicides. On American death row, the suicide rate runs roughly nine times the general public's. And around 1 in 10 people executed in the US since 1976 asked the state to drop their appeals and kill them faster.

@IhsanTransQueen @bloodstreamrunz @futarch @angelroom0 There's nothing wrong with hating feeling wrong in our own bodies. Dysphoria is a disorder, and so is ADHD. These things inherently are hurtful to me and bad. I can't heal because of my conditions.

I’m sorry but this test was either made by cis “allies” who view passing as identity-erasing (and therefore inherently transphobic) or non-dysphoric trans people

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet Would you pick a different name if standing out wasn't a thing to fear ?

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet It's Persian in origin, but it was common enough when I grew up as to not stand out. That was the goal.

why do some people refuse to understand that not all of our dysphoria is social, and that 'abolishing gender' isn't going to make us not trans. please read some fucking serano.

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet Unrelated to all this, your name is beautiful, I have always loved it

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet Because 99% of people on this app are from the English-speaking world, even you needed to go into my account to see that I'm Russian. It's a safe assumption to make.

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet I can't offer you victory, all I can ask of you is to not be already defeated inside your own head whether about politics in general or trans rights specifically. Being trans is not a curse, and it is nothing inferior to regular women

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet Now I have some respect for you. Still, not everyone is born to be a fighter and a lot of us have no systems of support as is. We can't afford to lose the few allies we have.

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet I am not western, perhaps think why your brain jumps to such convenient dismissals. If you don't believe me go check deep into my account, I said I am egyptian on this account years ago

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet The only people that have any right to say to me that I didn't fight the system hard enough are Ukrainians, Chechens, Georgians and other direct victims of Russia. Westerners can miss me with their holier-than-thou attitude, you can't even defeat fascism with a democracy.

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet Yes, I am egyptian, I participated in the arab spring . I know what I am talking about and that's why I confidently ask you to have hope and to love yourself. To not lose in your heart before the fight even starts

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet Have you even ever been to a mass protest or hurt or disenfranchised because you held a strong political position? We TRIED to fight against our government and we FAILED. Can you say the same?

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet Ok, stay obedient to tsars and oligarchs, I guess

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet Russia is literally a case study in how "but what if we just got together and tried, guise :3" ends in mass amounts of misery every single time

@evvywevvy @AlexaIsABunny @AisSkeet @BTB_Pikster @angelroom0 I don't care about how you feel, you are dishonestly and repeatedly misinterpreting my words to get mad at an imaginary strawman in your head. I am not obliged to appease the rude harrassment of dishonest interlocutors

@IhsanTransQueen @AlexaIsABunny @AisSkeet @BTB_Pikster @angelroom0 because people don't feel like you're listening to them, they feel like you're "well actually"ing their experience and they want you to stop doing that

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet You are russian no ? isn't literally the entire history of russia a repetition of people with no power achieving impossible victories against despots ? We should at least try, " it's hard" shouldn't be an excuse to continue self hate and believing in self inferiority

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet Girl, we don't even have 0 power, we have negative political power, I'm a goddamn glorified refugee, what do you want us to do?

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet This is a vacuous argument because you are pretending we can't do our best for now AND ALSO deconstruct and change the disgusting mentality that treats our existence as wrong and marhinalizes us. You are presenting a false dichotomy to avoid reckoning with your self hate

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet There are less of us with zero support. Nobody even knows the concrete steps to reach that utopia. This is nothing but blind idealism. I want to help people who are hurting RIGHT NOW.

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet "We don't live in a utopia" Said the person desperately and angrily fighting anyone who ever points out that we should maybe try to get utopia Btw,none of these arguments matter when privileged classes need smth,mountains get moved for them,but apparently it's impossible for us

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet Make artificial uteri that won't cost an arm and a leg. I don't enjoy living in this world, but it's the only one we got, so I prefer to tackle issues in this world, not in some far-off fantasy.

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet You suffer, because society hates trans people. You keep misinterpreting my words as denial of your pain rather than pointing at the source me :" you are hurt because society doesn't fulfill your needs like it fulfills c1s needs" you :"you are saying I don't have pain or needs"

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet Tall woman is, by definition, not a regular woman, because of median height and all that. It's a statistical thing. Trans women are highly irregular. No matter what you say, no matter how regular or irregular we are, I. SUFFER. BECAUSE. I. AM. TRANS. That is not a fun thing.

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet That is the problem with this discussion, you don't have logical rebuttals,you have pain & are mad at me for telling you this pain was created with literal centuries of discrimination not just your existence. Every problem you have including medical had solution if society cared

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet All your argument boil down to "trans women are valid!" repeated over and over. And yeah, sure we are, doesn't change how much I want to bash my face into the mirror every morning.

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet You speak like a terf genuinely. We say " tall women" , are you now gonna argue that tall women aren't regular women because if they were regular we wouldn't need a distinction ? Trans is a description, not a flaw. A trans woman is a full regular woman

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet We wouldn't need a distinction between trans and c1s if we were regular.

@AlexaIsABunny @evvywevvy @AisSkeet @BTB_Pikster @angelroom0 It wouldn't be wrong if you weren't fucked over from the start and forced to live as the wrong gender , don't know why it's so difficult to interpret my og tweet in good faith x.com/i/status/20527…

@IhsanTransQueen @evvywevvy @AisSkeet @BTB_Pikster @angelroom0 girl i only need surgery cuz my body is wrong

@dashalosesit @AisSkeet > accuses me of sophistry > proceeds to bring a redherring that has nothing to do with what makss " a regular woman" Are you people contractually obliged to do endless projection ? A trans woman is a regular woman even if her dysphoria isn't gone after transition

@IhsanTransQueen @AisSkeet I think you're doing a lot of sophistry here to sort of skim over how even in a perfect universe with early transition for everyone and 100% social acceptance dysphoria would still suck.

@AlexaIsABunny @evvywevvy @AisSkeet @BTB_Pikster @angelroom0 Indeed, which is part of my point that your transness isn't what's wrong somehow, societal discrimination that is hurting you is what's wrong

@IhsanTransQueen @evvywevvy @AisSkeet @BTB_Pikster @angelroom0 what isnt healthy is how expensive surgery is that i need to make sure i dont get the urge to self harm every time i look in the mirror

@mkisstillok4 @neirenoir @futarch @angelroom0 Literally half of my point is that we don't "get cures" because part of the marginalization is systematic discrimination in research and medicine. "But cures don't work" you are a fucking rube easily tricked about your own oppression by people who rob you from a better life

@neirenoir @IhsanTransQueen @futarch @angelroom0 Yeah in every hypothetical even if society was more accomodating It would be objectively Better to get cures because the differences are still disadvantages. But cures dont work so we're focusing elsewhere
