I liked what she did, but holy crap, is there some hardcore tone policing going on in that article.
ETA: I also couldnât help but notice that the only social media posts mentioned in that article where all posts by women.

Yep
After Gomez took down her video, she shared a note saying that âapparently itâs not ok to show empathy for peopleââwhich she later also deleted. But if the overall response to Schaferâs experience is any indication, empathy isnât what made most viewers bristle at Gomezâs tearful musings; her overwhelming emotion, and the implicit assumption that it would be compelling to viewers, was.
The fact that Selena Gomez is justifiably upset with the rounding up immigrants and people just donât give a shit really saddens me.
Emotions are OKIYAR.

EVERYTHING IOKIYAR, well, except empathy and a conscience. Those are absolutely forbidden.

Interesting seeing the full quote, in context. Iâll take his advice and not blindly apply empathy to soulless fascist scorpions like himself who will do nothing but exploit it. Everyone else is another story.
Also, Mr. âthink it throughâ, name a single person you have empathy for. Not those less fortunate than you, not your own family or offspring, not your employees⌠so who is it?

Had an interesting experience last night. Iâve been struggling with a lot of voice dysphoria lately, enough that itâs been interfering with working on my voice training. I am consistently read as male when I speak, and itâs really been getting to me.
Anyway, I was talking to my wife about some videos I made way back in the early 2010s, and realized I probably still had them up on my old YouTube channel, so I went and looked. Sure enough, I found them and was showing one of them to my wife and our roommate (both trans), and none of us could believe the guy talking on the video was me. I still have work to do to get my voice where I want it, but I have been feeling pretty good about my progress since watching the vid!
It was also a very weird experience, cause the whole video was on a hobby I used to be really into but havenât done anything with in 5-6 years. I remember making the video. I remember all the stuff I was talking about. But it was like watching someone else. Iâve encountered that a few times, where my past feels more like implanted memories from someone else, but that was by far the most intense of those experiences!

If I want to hear what I used to sound like, I just have to call my brother. People, including our uncle, used to mistake us on the phone all the time. That doesnât happen anymore.
