~5 mg (~0.10 mL; 50 mg/mL concentration) estradiol enanthate injected intramuscularly into the vastus lateralis in our left thigh using our Union Medico auto-stabber and a 25 mm 25G TotalDose low dead space needle 💉

Only the teeniest dot of blood after. Not even a blob. Painless injection (insertion and removal) too.

Today, I'm chewing on Kate Manne's theory of misogyny as a social force for policing the roles of "human giver" and "human being" in what it has to say about the shapes of transmisogyny. I'm not sure if others have developed it in this way, but here's the thoughts it spurred in me.

It's especially this summary of Manne's framework in Nagoski & Nagoski's "Burnout" that got me thinking:

"Kate Manne describes a system in which one class of people, the “human givers,” are expected to offer their time, attention, affection, and bodies willingly, placidly, to the other class of people, the “human beings.” The implication in these terms is that human beings have a moral obligation to be or express their humanity, while human givers have a moral obligation to give their humanity to the human beings." (Nagoski & Nagoski, p. 8)

Of course, cis women are expected to be and socialized into the role of "human giver" while cis men are expected to be and socialized into the role of "human being," and if a woman should choose to act as a human being, rather than solely a giver, she is then punished - this is how the system of misogyny is enforced.

If anyone needs me: I’m napping with the fishies.

Me, casually walking out of Ulta after my brow wax and tint. A big truck carrying heavy equipment passes by on the street. The male driver turns his head to look at me while I wait to cross. He smiles at me...

"A strange guy would never just look and very visibly smile at me for no reason," I thought...

"Wait... Did I just pass?!"
