December 2017 AMA Stream

Hey Nat, I haven't been able to get enough of your content since I first started watching not too long ago and you never cease to amaze me with how vulnerable you are able to be, as well as casually brilliant and beautiful and funny! I felt like we got to hear a lot from you in this livestream in particular and just wanted to send some good vibes your way <3 <3 <3

Hey, I have some thoughts on the topic of AMAB trans people who present as men. I'm an AMAB NB who presents as male most of the time because the nature of my job makes it difficult to do anything else. I recognize that my presentation makes certain things easier for me relative to women and people who present in a gender nonconforming way, but the trade off for me is living in a dysphoric hell for most of my life. Like, I only accept that trade-off because it's necessary for me right now and am desperately trying to get into a situation in which it won't be necessary, so I don't really think of it as a privilege. Anyway, I could talk about this for a while, but I'll leave it there for now.

I would have much rather been listening to this instead of being on the conference call where someone was talking about "on-ramping" students, apparently as a more modern way of saying "getting them up to speed."

oh i missed it anyways..

ugh 5am... life hates me... haha

I'm curious about how you might frame and discuss the issues to keep all parties in dialogue (this strength of yours is why I'm a patreon)

I'd be interested in your guidance wrt the KLPA <a href="http://www.klpa.org.uk/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.klpa.org.uk/</a> an ancient, traditional, but wise and metropolitan ladies swimming association who are trying to engage their politically diverse membership in dialogue about transitioning women using the ladies pond and changing facilities. There are issues in an environment where naked and near naked bodies are on display (there is a single, open air changing room) that are (I think) interesting and different from other environments. The men's pool is trying to deal with discomfort felt by some men in the presence of gay bodybuilders' sexually provocative behaviour.

Thanks for the reminder. I almost forgot!
