Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
“When a university cuts a small major like gender studies, who gets to decide which questions are worth keeping alive on campus?”
Trust ranks through the site stewards' curated lens.

Our Experience of Gender is Caught in a Drama Triangle
My contribution to the #DeepTakes event is an experience I find really alienating and lonely on a personal level and I see it playing out culturally in a way that seems to impact everyone I know (and obviously huge swaths of people I don't).To express what I am seeing in this... - Thea...
We need to stop shaming small dicks
OK this was meant to be anonymous cos I don't want to be slut shamed ... But I can't create a second anon account right now, looks like that anon account is just going to the wait list.... We need new gender categories, while preserving the distinctness of "man" and "woman"
I don’t mind using different pronouns—I’m happy to love someone with whatever language they prefer. But I’d like to propose that deconstructing traditional genders is not only unnecessary, it’s harmful.... But I’ve had a hell of a time finding grounded healthy masculine men. Many of them can do it for a time, but then flee to an extreme, like angry resentment at one end and non-binary softness at the other end.... I could NOT love this more! Such a real and present phenomenon. I say disempowerment is "life is happening to me" and empowerment is "life is happening for me/with me." It is a very popular sport to act as though gender is something life is doing to me, rather than something life... - josefine...
Everyone should be entranced by a beautiful woman (and it's definitely not a sin)
I'm sitting here about to finalize my draft for "what are holding environments and why they are important" as a deep take. I'm on my second day of bleeding and my brain doesn't work very well. So I'm rather going to share my deep take on my experience.... Reverent Men
The men I relate with are deeply reverent toward women and the feminine. They do not say this in words, but they show it via all the words they speak and the actions they take.... - Fooljeff...
Arun says I give myself bad report cards. What does this mean? I'm afraid of being seen as stupid. I often say I'm retarded, and people will respond, "I think you're hiding in your humor." I didn't know what they meant until I realized I'm afraid of being seen as stupid.... The systemic lens is very important here. As well as how the IQ test was created. Not like "ohh there are many forms of intelligence and this just captures one", but like the IQ test captures a specific way of interpretting that flavor of intelligence and doesn’t honor how it... I’m on the fence. My dad got circumcised when he was 30 because his foreskin was tearing when he had sex. He got me circumcised to spare me the adult experience. I’m kinda glad. My cock gets raw when I have a lot of sex and the thought of extra skin on there doesn’t sound great.... Haha that's funny. For me: as a kid, it was a day where we exchanged valentines cards and candy. I looked forward to seeing who would write me a special message, and I liked expressing myself via the kind of valentine card I chose (mostly ninja turtles for me) in middle and high... - Shera JoyCry...
Yes and Here are some long time thoughts, written quickly and pondered for years and years, never felt comfortable sharing anywhere with hardly anyone ever. This is a risk. THIS FEELS DANGEROUS.... The Wild Robot (on Netflix)
This is my favorite movie since Everything Everywhere All at Once. It brought me to tears. I don’t have much sociosomnia on it for today, but it’s worth noting that I see ROZ embodying qualities associated with “feminine” leadership: empathy, collaboration, compassion,...
