What does life look like after your world ends? This is a story that I’m living out right now. And to be honest? The apocalypse is pretty wonderful.

I’m a USian emigrant who is currently living in Ireland and studying to get my Master’s in Library and Information Studies. This may mean that I am destined for a career as a librarian or as a social science researcher. Or maybe both? I’m still figuring that part out.

So expect to see a fair amount of shitposting on this account interspersed with nerdy information behaviour infodumps. I think my trauma posting era is mostly over, but perhaps the odd one will reappear?

I’m equal parts basic bitch, Librariancore, and dark academia depending on the day. I may also be the queer girl cosplaying the straight girls cosplaying the queer girls. If you want to know about cataloguing standards and information marginalisation, I’m your girl.

I sometimes need to mix in some basic straight girl music with all of the sapphic pop (don’t judge).

Hey, whoever thought it was a good idea to be finishing up a Master's thesis two days before traveling half way around the world for life-changing surgery and then immediately returning to start a PhD course was a really shit planner. #itMe

So I alluded to this a few months back, but I just received word this morning that I have received PhD funding for the next four years! I never imagined that this would be the direction my life would take when I first came to Ireland to study, but I’m really excited about the opportunity!

@sashag@anarres.family This makes sense to me. One of the reasons I'm starting to love librarianship is that it's a caring profession. It's not about someone's bottom line, it's about taking care of people.

It's funny how in my lifetime I've gone from: “you need to memorise everything and use offline sources if you want to navigate the world," to: “just bring your magic phone thingy and it will have all the answers for you," back to: “you need to memorise everything and use offline sources if you want to navigate the world" again.

For example, their favourite: “sex assigned at birth” This tells them exactly nothing about me. It doesn’t tell them my hormone profile. It doesn’t tell them the shape of my genitalia or whether I have a uterus or cervix. It doesn’t tell them whether I am at increased risk of breast or prostate cancer. It doesn’t tell them about my heart disease and/or stroke risk. It doesn’t even tell them what my chromosome configuration is. It’s useless information. They know the risks they are screening for, they should ask about those risks specifically.

Me from three years ago would have thought that me from today was full of shit when I told her that: She would be working a patron-facing job in a libraryShe would LOVE the social interactionShe would always be gendered correctly by everyone At the time, I thought I was basically introverted (I was, because masking took a lot of cognitive energy). I thought that computer touching was the best career because I didn't have to interact with people very often. And I thought there was no way that I could ever look like the woman I knew I was inside. Turns out that I was actually a slight extrovert when the masking came off, and have more energy after a day of interacting with coworkers and patrons than I do in the morning. And it turns out that I actually didn't particularly like my software jobs over the years, and craved a care-based job helping actual people. And between estrogen, hair, makeup, and confidence, being gendered correctly ended up being a non-issue eventually. Transition is wild. And honestly? I would have been shaking my damn head at myself if I had told me from two years ago, and even me from one year ago these things. The first two years were just figuring out this whole transition thing, and the last year has been learning about who I am and what I want out of life. I'm looking forward to the next year, where maybe I start living out those desires and dreams, finally. For the first time.

@faithisleaping@anarres.family More than anything I learned in my coursework, this has been the important thing I have learned this year. If I fight my brain, I will lose. I will end up getting less done than if I had just gone with it. So while I very much set reminders and milestones to hit, I realise that the way I get there (or even when I get there) is going to meander and take a bit more time than it would for other people. And then I will get up against the deadline and pull off a ridiculous amount of work in a very small period of time. 😂

@oddtail@meow.social It’s still very important research. Getting data in front of policymakers is critical. We all know what’s actually going on, but like we saw with Cass in the UK, lawmakers love to point to “but there’s no data, think of the children!”

You know how you spend your whole life hating yourself so you don’t set proper boundaries because you don’t matter anyway? And then you start to love yourself and decide that you deserve boundaries after all? I have a LOT of cleanup still to do from that first era of my life, and one of those poorly defined boundaries just blew up in my face. 😡

Replying to @Serena@lgbtqia.space
@Serena@lgbtqia.space @faithisleaping@anarres.family A big problem with LLMs as they are currently trained is that they are just absorbing the current state of human civilisation and uncritically using it as the body of knowledge. In effect, we are freezing in place early 21st century cisheteronormative, white supremacist patriarchy and then making people dumber by relying on LLMs so that society will never evolve and grow. But the research shows that LLMs absolutely replicate racial and gender stereotypes, and have a binary concept of gender that would make TERFs very happy. Oh yeah, and it's also accelerating the collapse of human civilisation in its entirety, so there's that too.

Replying to @ics@tau-ceti.space
@ics@tau-ceti.space This has absolutely been my experience going to grad school this year. My thinking has become clearer and more focused as I have been forced to digest academic literature and then formulate arguments in writing based on that material. And I feel it has sharpened my ability to analyse context in the broader world. If I would have dumped everything into an LLM, maybe I would have passed without much effort, but I wouldn’t have grown as a person. As a thinker. As someone who actually can analyse the world critically and not just accept the shit sandwich I am handed.

What does life look like after your world ends? This is a story that I’m living out right now. And to be honest? The apocalypse is pretty wonderful. I’m a USian emigrant who is currently living in Ireland and studying to get my Master’s in Library and Information Studies. This may mean that I am destined for a career as a librarian or as a social science researcher. Or maybe both? I’m still figuring that part out. So expect to see a fair amount of shitposting on this account interspersed with nerdy information behaviour infodumps. I think my trauma posting era is mostly over, but perhaps the odd one will reappear? I’m equal parts basic bitch, Librariancore, and dark academia depending on the day. I may also be the queer girl cosplaying the straight girls cosplaying the queer girls. If you want to know about cataloguing standards and information marginalisation, I’m your girl. I sometimes need to mix in some basic straight girl music with all of the sapphic pop (don’t judge).

Replying to @IsabelB@mastodon.ie
@IsabelB@mastodon.ie It’s a very complicated mix of emotions. I wouldn’t have my kids if I hadn’t gone through all that, so it’s not a waste by any means. But sometimes it still feels like all of those years were wasted and now I’m left with less of them to actually live. 🤷‍♀️

I'm happy with my life now, and intend to enjoy the rest of it, but losing my 20s and 30s is still a pretty bitter pill to swallow

I think something is shifting with my gender. Not so much in how I identify (woman), or how I want to present (basic bitch, usually).

But today, for some reason, people either emphatically gendered me female or misgendered me in about equal numbers.

And I didn't really mind?

It used to bother me so much to be misgendered, but today I kind of enjoyed the confusion.

I think I’m just getting less self-conscious about my identity. I'm a woman, and I dress the way many women dress, which is sometimes pretty basic and not overtly feminine. And I think I need that external validation less. I'm thinking about “girling right" less.

I'm me. My gender is what it is. And it doesn't really matter all that much to me if strange people on the street see that*.

  • Personally. There are absolutely larger societal issues that need to be rectified around the gender binary and people defaulting to that as their means of identification for people.

One of the most sinister things that cisheteronormative society has done to trans communities is to weaponise our own experience of information marginalisation and epistemic injustice against us in order to undo the small amount of progress we have made toward inclusion in society.

Because from birth, trans people are confronted with a foundational epistemic injustice. Society is set up to allow for only two options, "boy," and "girl," and our opinion on the matter is not asked. A doctor makes a quick call, and our course in life is “set”. And when we grow up and figure out that, "hmm…, maybe things don't line up as cleanly as what the doctor said,” our capacity as a knower of our own personal knowledge is constantly gaslit by a society that thinks it knows better than we do, and is terrified that maybe it doesn’t.

And so society hides the very knowledge that would help us to feel whole in the world from us. It perpetuates a vast, systemic violence against us, inflicting information marginalisation on our developing minds so that we do not even know what questions to ask when something feels "off" in our body. When we have discomfort in the way we move through the world, the way we dress, the choices of "acceptable" activities we are given.

But the human desire to know and be known has broken through, again and again. And each time an oppressive regime seeks to burn our books and kill members of our community who have gone before us, we rebuild the knowledge. We share our lived experiences, and eventually, we even publish empirical evidence that what we say about our lived experiences is backed by medical, psychological, and social science. We construct frameworks and conceptual models and theories that can be used to explain the very real, embodied knowledge of our community.

And in response? Cisheteronormative society weaponises our research. They call it “gender ideology" as if there was some vast conspiracy to “groom” all the kids. As if our lived, embodied experiences weren't what was informing our research. Not content with starting our lives with a foundational epistemic injustice and gaslighting us with systemic information marginalisation, they reject empiricism so that they can continue to strip us of our basic human rights and dignity.
