Saying 'there Have Been Trans People As Long As There Have Been People' Is, While I Think Well-intentioned,

saying 'there have been trans people as long as there have been people' is, while i think well-intentioned, wrong (and a bit silly). gender itself is a socially-constructed system, and that is the key fact for the entire transgender movement. there is no sensible understanding of transgender existence without the context of a system of social gender. there have been transgender people as long as there has been gender - because it is a fundamentally arbitrary system - but that is not the same thing as 'as long as there have been people'. people existed without the social system of gender for a long time, it is not an inherent trait of humans - and arguing otherwise is, as well as simply being wrong, not something that really benefits the transgender movement

“The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power.”

No, the old magic persists because the new magic can’t run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don’t want or need onto my orb.

How to get a PhD?

In five easy steps, you can earn a real PhD! Here's how:

Choose a subject in which you can get a PhD, such as Caviar Debrining, Musical Glassware Demolition, or Cunnilingus.

Enroll in a graduate school that offers a PhD course in your topic, such as CU Boulder, the Academy of Raya Lucaria, or the Royal Institute for the Study and Performance of Cunnilingus.

Achieve 80-140 hours of class credits in relevant coursework, such as Advanced Bullshitting, Making Up MLA Format Citations That Sound Real, and Warping Irrelevant Quotations So They Will Appear To Fit Your Points (Cunning Linguistics).

Compose a dissertation in the medium demanded by your field, such as an Essay, Scientific Treatise, or Oral Presentation.

Defend your dissertation. This is nothing to be afraid of and is merely titled a "defense" in an antiquated sense of the word. You can defend your dissertation in many academic ways, such as a sword duel, outlasting a professor in the pain induction box, or of course, besting them in Competitive Cunnilingus. This last one is naturally the most reliable way to graduate Cum Laude.

one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kid™ is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving.

DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOU’RE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE BEFORE.

Maybe I should embrace the robotgirl vibe and make myself an ordered list of priorities as a decision tree. And then when I am struggling I can look at it and try to use it to decide on a better course of action.

tragic irony has struck me. i had a mediocre day filled with sorrow towards my past self, largely related to academic performance, and just now my friends were doing today's wordle and so i decided to do it as well (i don't normally do them). i was halfway to tears (because of the previously mentioned reasons) while doing it and then i got it after cheating (by clearing my browser's cache for that page to give me more chances because i used some dumb shitpost words) and the word was

"dummy"

im gonna lose it. poetically ironic. absolute cinema. i burst out laughing
