Atheist Musings #5

Atheist: *criticizes religious idea*

Theist who can’t separate ideas from identities and can not imagine that anyone else can either: “That’s anti-(insert group of people here)!!!”

OP I really hope I can clear this up for you. the people criticizing you are not theists, they’re fellow atheists who think you’re being a toolbag.

I am not a theist, and to the best of my knowledge neither iwilleatyourenglish not hyperspace-ace is either. we have different understandings of religion, religious practice, and the nature of religious identity groups than you do. not “different understandings” in the sense of believing that the supernatural aspects of religion are “real” or “true”, but different understandings of what the word religion means and of the sociology and anthropology of religion from an academic or political perspective.

from our perspective, there is of course a significant difference between ideas and identities, and there is also a significant different between ideas and different ideas. when you insist that you’re simply criticizing belief in a deity, but repeatedly mock the practices of an ethnic group that (I know you find this hard to wrap your head around but I am living evidence that it’s true) do not depend on belief in a deity and refuse to acknowledge that these traditions could follow any kind of internal logic, in a way that happens to sound like the kind of thing someone who thinks Jews, specifically, are bad would say… it kind of seems to people watching like you have some form of dislike or disrespect for Jews.

this is especially charged because of the long and brutal history of people trying very hard to get Jews to stop doing Wrong Religion. while most of these people have not been atheists, I hope that you can understand how, having struggled for so long to retain these cultural traditions, being told that they’re bad and (even, as you’ve been repeatedly told people do, practicing them as an atheist) practicing them is bad could be something of a sore spot

Hope this helps!

me: care about people

half the notes: youre the real oppressor for telling me what to do.

the other half: cut out this useless liberal proselatizing. you are an invertebrate and you will perish in the revolution.

we have a new prize comment which is “pretty neurotypical of you to assume i have the capacity to care about other people”

starting to think no cishet ever went to my middle school because 4/5 of my close friend group turned out trans (no straights), my ex recently got asked by a friend of theirs who went there if they had ever been misgendered, and I just ran into someone from there at my community college who also dropped out of high school to do independent study and goes to the same queer youth conference as me. I hadn’t seen this person in like five years and we were immediately on like five different levels of same exact hat.

[ID: three stills from The Simple Life. still one shows Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie, with the text “-Loves it. Do you love it?” still two shows a white man with dark hair, querying “-Do I love it? What? Love what?” and the response “-It.” still three shows Ritchie again, and the response continues: “-Every second of it.” /end ID]

softtrade:

Most border skirmishes abt what kinds of trans people are allowed in “women’s spaces” or similar things (that aren’t just explicitly cissexist) are premised on the idea that all women are inherently more victimized by patriarchal systems of gender+sexuality than all men (no matter the other forces at play)

People talk about how speech-to-text and text-to-speech programs can help with accessibility in terms of disabilities but they’re also incredibly beneficial for adults that arent fully literate because texting and emails make it harder for people to ‘make do’ compared to how things used to be

i just want you all to know that that post about the rewards of being loved/mortifying ordeal of being known is from a 2013 new yorker opinion piece about the social mortification of being accidentally included in an email thread judging your goat rental decisions

I really need to get more of my LGBT stuff outside of the insular community environment of tumblr because I think it damages my ability to articulate transness in an educational context to not be aware of like. what cis people are actually thinking, and the other educational initiatives that trans people undertake

[ID: a three panel comic. in panel one, two children are lying on a grass surface in formal clothes, a light skinned child with long brown hair wearing a purple shirt, ruffly skirt, and black tights, and a tan skinned child with short hair wearing a white button up and grey slacks. the short haired child asks"I noticed most trans kids I know are also on the autism spectrum. Is there a link?“ in panel two, the long haired child replies "I think autistic kids are over-represented in the trans population because we give less f*cks about what people think, so we’re more likely to express gender variance.” in panel three, a zoom on the first panel, the long haired child wonders “But the real question is how our flesh vessels can bear so many awesome traits!” and the short haired child replies, with a smile, “I was wondering too!!” /end ID]

I think there are lots of reasons that trans people and autistic people overlap a lot as groups including but not limited to:

- we don’t get cues as well so we’re more likely to gender nonconform behaviorally, becoming alienated from the institution of gender

- assigned binary gender is a complex social construct that we are less likely to absorb on the bone deep level that many non-autistic people do

- already being considered weird and fucked up for our neurological differences, we may be more willing to do other weird and fucked up things like transition

- we are forced to introspect about our thoughts and experiences, to analyze them as outsiders to ourselves, and may be more likely to realize gender dysphoria through general introspection about, e.g. why we never fit in with our peers at school
