@bluedelliquanti.bsky.social I've been rereading O Human Star, as I am wont to do, and as I enter my mid-40s, I relate to Al and Sulla more than ever. So much of what is happening is so much more obvious on the second or third pass through. I still can't get through without sobbing.[...]

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Allow me to paint a hypothetical. If for some reason you grew up in a world where all women had beards, is there any reason to think a trans woman would get dysphoric about a beard in such a world? People often paint gender dysphoria as innate and hardwired, and that bothers me. It must be mutable.

It's kind of an extreme viewpoint, and not one I firmly believe, but which seems to inform some of my actions. People, I will hang onto like my life depends on it, but things sometimes vanish merely from my turning around. A book I've read is done, a fait accompli. Is a friend I've lost the same?

A bit melodramatic, I suppose.

You can give all your love to another even when loving yourself seems impossible. That doesn't lessen your heart's truth. But starting to care for yourself doubles the love —you give more to them, and beautifully back to you. Your soul is worthy of gentleness. Nurture it. You're enough🏳️‍⚧️🌈

If it helps to hear this, the treatment/framework for dealing with symptoms tends to be the same, diagnosis or not. I know very well the deep desire to KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IT IS, to pinpoint it with a name, but there's a lot you can try to do regardless of whether that every happens
