J'ai la flemme de detailler.

Mais basiquement les personnes trans sont en passe de se faire exclure des articles de la proposition de Loi contre les Thérapies de Conversion.

Et ce notamment sous l'impulsion des TERF comme Dora Moutot, qui sont reçues par Schiappa, et qui leur donne toute son écoute et sa considération.

Les liens entre la droite / extrême droite et les TERF se révèlent parfaitement dans ce genre de manœuvres dans le but de faire front contre les personnes trans.
Les arguments de Dora Moutot exposé dans de longues tribunes transphobe (dont celle de Marianne) sont essentialisantes en faisant appel au 'fait biologique' (chromosomes, génitaux et rôles dans la procréation etc) et ça n'est pas sans rappeler les discours de LMPT où de Marion Maréchal Le Pen qui contre le Mariage pour Toustes avait lâché à propos des sexes que "La nature est peut-être fasciste mais la reproduction c'est bien un homme et une femme".

'fin bref.


En fait faut vraiment se faire au fait que les personnes trans ne seront jamais reconnues par les instances politiques peu ou prou semblables à celles que nous avons actuellement, où qu'on nous propose. C'est à dire des non-mixité choisies de cis blanc-hes qui n'ont strictement rien à foutre de nos existences.

Non sandrine. Non.

.... j'ai la flemme du coup j'ai mis un screen d'une réflexion postée par quelqu'un·e d'autre sur le sujet.

A dominant foreign language such as English makes the devaluation of real skills like translation even worse because English fluency in many parts of the world is treated as a matter of personal virtue and worth rather than just another skill, with shame and fear surrounding it like a noxious cloud. A lot of people who aren't even fluent in English are pressed into English translation duty at their schools or jobs to save a buck on a professional translator, and they get undeserved shame and stress from work they were set up to fail at.

Even with a fluent grasp of my target and source languages and with a fair amount of writing skill and experience, it took me a lot of time and gigs to learn the skills, conventions, and tricks to be an effective translator. It's a job like any other, not something that comes built into language skills-- language skills are a prerequisite of translation, not the full set of translation skills.

Shitting on each other because we're definitely the worst countries but it's impossible determine whom amongst us is the absolute worst

c'est toujours et encore moi, et ça va etre moi pendant les 8 prochains mois

en 2021 faudrait peut-être arrêter de vouloir conditionner l'accès à un THS à une dysphorie marquée et à son diagnostic par un·e psy et à relayer des articles et bouquins de personnes transphobes au passage

Blackness, Indigeneity, Jewishness and others are immutable, benign heritages and any attempts to take these identities away is violent and genocidal. Racism is neither immutable nor benign. If a racist rethinks their racism due to social disapproval they are *a better person* for it. If they dig in and continue to support racial violence they SHOULD be shunned and removed, because otherwise you'll have no one left in your space except racists and those who are willing to tolerate racism (a.k.a. racists, but quiet). Is that a space you want to be part of?

"Since May 27 of 1980, all that stays with me to this day is the pain of defeat. But that week before the 27th was ours and ours alone. I felt in my bones what the world we live in should be. I still remember the deaths of my comrades, strangers who trusted in me to the last.” (Kim Tae-chan)

Scarred by death and state violence, dogged by police surveillance for a decade, many of the survivors' lives were marred by trauma, poverty, domestic violence and alcoholism as other Uprising groups turned on them. These strike force survivors reject the neoliberal middle-class imagination of the uprising as activism.

"There was a guy we called 'Samurai.' A junk dealer, we don't know his name of course. We just called each other by nickname. . . . He must be dead, seeing as how he never turned up. I think more and more, the nameless people who defended the Provincial Office . . . were the real faces of May 18. The junk sellers, drifters, the people who were looked down on and treated as outsiders to May 18, don't they deserve remembrance?" ("Steamed Bun," "Clock")

"Why do they call it just a democracy 'movement,' huh, what happened to the 'uprising,' what we put our necks on the line for? Gwangju wasn't a movement, it was a FIGHT!"

150 of the uprising forces, about 50 of them survivors of the strike force, were taken alive and subjected to beating and torture. The survivors, now getting to know each other by name as fellow inmates, would sing resistance songs in court, buoyed by the pride that they had defended Gwangju to the last.

"We said 'Down with Chun Doo-hwan,' but I didn't know who that was. I didn't know what democracy was, they called us fighters but I didn't understand that either. I only knew we did nothing wrong, and we'd done a great thing." (Group 2 "Tiger" Ahn Seon-ok)

Even among prisoners, the intellectuals in the uprising were laid in beds apart from the strike force, and these middle class prisoners' treatment remained a source of humiliation and anger for members of the strike force.

"During the uprising we shared whatever little we had, but now that we were in prison, these people wouldn't share their food with us even if it was going bad by their bed. I kept thinking it was folk like us, the powerless, who fought and sacrificed. . . . I did learn a lot from them in prison, why we fought and what it was we did." ("Clock" from the strike force)
