one once made a heart shape in my foam

I remember going to a club in Newcastle where "one more time" was playing and everyone looked unsure what to do during that long breakdown in the second half of the track. "should we keep moving? keep still? maybe try swaying our arms slowly with our eyes closed"

in response to NHS England's decision to ban gender affirming treatment for trans youth, I've written to my MP. cis people in the UK, please support your trans friends by doing the same and putting pressure on your MPs.

that is a wonderfully precise brief, but @nateo.bsky.social, @etvpod.bsky.social, and @caitlinmoriah.bsky.social come to mind as people who might know about this!

I work in trans healthcare & have a dual background in philosophical bioethics & medicine. 2y ago I published this paper including an evidence review. there is copious evidence for the benefit of GAHT in trans youth & the harm of denying it. NHS England wilfully & maliciously ignores this evidence

e.g., regarding early Chinese philosophy, Angus Graham argues that the Xunzi and the Liji associated "qing" with inner subjective states that express a person's genuine nature. hence, this would suggest that it wasn't exclusively an Indian-European idea.

I think a lot of work is done by "certain aspects of subjectivity" as I suspect many traditions accept a thin notion of subjectivity but vary in their thicker claims about its content, e.g., for Sāṁkhya, subjectivity isn't a posteriori, but is a necessary existence that makes a posteriority possible

I'm very much into the Sāṁkhya tradition ... Karen O'Brien-Kop and Mikel Burley have some great work on this that is accessible. I think there are a lot of interesting parallels between Sāṁkhya philosophy and Husserl's phenomenology.

I can't help but wonder if this is also exacerbated by a tradition of western philosophy that seems bent on denying this interiority or analytically redefining it away

this 👇 post was written in response to a different issue but I think it is also very relevant here

yes. to clarify, I didn't mean to imply that they're honest, only stupid—I accept that it is calculated and brazenly dishonest. rather what I meant was that I think there's a whole lot of entitled resentment motivating the dishonesty

the way that our governments, lawmakers, media etc. treat young people is so confused, hypocritical, and incoherent that I can only think it's motivated by some weird entitled boomer castration complex
