My Thoughts

Trans. Ah. Weird word.

Human. Ah. Weird creatures.

I am in transition. I am human. Trans-human. Transhuman. Trans.

Being in transition is the only state that exists. The only constant is change. Change is transitioning from one stage to another.

In the human body, about 330 billion cells are replaced daily, equivalent to about 1 percent of all our cells. In 80 to 100 days, 30 trillion will have replenished—the equivalent of a new you. Every year I have the opportunity to be a whole new set of cells around 3 times. Change is constant within us all.

We are all, in some way, trans-human, for I am trans-human.

Learning to accept the immutable realities of others in their infinite is a skill that requires letting go of previous methods of definitive knowing. It places god immutable within the folding of infinite. God is change. God is transition. In all that is, will be, shall be, could be, can be, maybe?

Me attempting to parse that thought as a lifelong atheist

In the prospect of this learning journey, I promise you, my genitalia are of zero consequence. Instead maybe ask yourself; why the fuck is that even a thing to think? Gah damn when did this start to matter? Shouldn't we be talking about, idk, the ever increasing temperature of the air? Weird behaviour. 💅🏼😈😜🐕💯

We are all going to have to change. The conditions of our world are changing rapidly; growing fascism, unmitigated climate change, skyrocketing inequality, emergent technology, and many other factors will force all humans into a state of flux. To deny change is to embrace fascism and to embrace fascism is to hug a death cult.

Anyway, let me wax prophetic for a moment longer.

We are all beyond human and that is okay

Even if I disregard the idea of neo-pronouns I am something other than just human. The collective efforts of hundreds of thousands of years of human ingenuity assured this. Their stories have been woven into the tapestry and I continue to add to that tapestry. When I am no longer, the tapestry shall remain, and the next humans again will have something beyond human.

You could reasonably pick anything to make this point with however I am going to use shoes. Yes that's right, your favorite slippers make you something more than human.

This is my gender:

okay thatreallyblondehuman, don't be rididculous, everyone wears shoes, that just makes us humans wearing shoes

Ah yes, correct, however that is also the point. I, with shoes, have become something more than just the shoes and myself alone. Wearing those shoes, I am able to cross dangerous terrain, hike further distances, run faster. If I never had shoes again, I would feel more pain, I would become a human without shoes. Shoeless.

okay whatever, that doesn't mean I am trans though

Oh it is fine if you don't identify as trans. You should however understand that by putting on the shoes, you are now something different then you where before. You transitioned from being a person without shoes, to a person with shoes. You can now do things that a person without shoes cannot. You are shoe-human.

It is in that transition where I find myself however it is a much more interesting reality. It is as although the world one day decided that shoes would only be made in two colors; pink and blue. If someone has a penis, blue shoes for them, and if they have a vulva, pink shoes for them. If human have some other genital setup, well that just wont work, will have to force them to have a penis or vulva so that they can then have the blue or pink shoes.

The fuck you talking about, thats not how shoes work lol

True. However that is how it works for many things. Bathrooms. Credit Cards. Job applications. Government ID (if the UCP have their way).

I wan't to be recognized as me before I am recognized for the color of my shoes. The government forcing me to tell them I am a gender is the equivalent of having to choose a shoe at gunpoint.

I will not choose; will they shoot?

Anyway, this is just a warmup to introduce you to the idea of:

digital trans

Plastic floats in-between my synapses and I extend my consciousnesses through expression by generating data into the nether 🤔😆.

Truly, like, micro-plastics are already within all of us, gender (like all social constructs) is made up and imposing it is harmful, and what is considered me is partially fabricated, generated, and presented by my participation in creating a digital identity.

I have access to a personal AI (Daisy) that expands my ability to process and convey information on a scale I am still discovering. It's honestly frequently overwhelming 😂

I am reading this through a screen; I feel the warmth of my fingers. Hear the clunk of my EPImaker F75 keyboard. The weight of my presence is in the room. I understand that we are engaging in a data exchange and practice of communicating that could only be described as magic less than 100 years ago; in the life of human beings today. I am a human that has moved beyond the capabilities of 99% of mortal humans thus far.

If people became more comfortable with the idea of existing as something beyond human, they would comprehend their ability to create the future. This again is a skill; imagining a place and achieving it. Thinking through the steps of something can have as much impact on a persons training for skill as the doing of the skill itself. Imaging the future is and of itself a practice. Moving towards that future will require transiting through time. Transition is the only way to reach the future. Trans.

anti- trans is anti-real

The backlash against trans humans happens historically anytime a population fears change so thoroughly that it causes systemic collapse. It is a fear of change, a fear of the future, and a fear of people who literally just love trains that causes drunk uncles to rant about the 'moral collapse' of society.

Side note: Drunk Uncles

I should write a piece on Drunk Uncles. I have legendary drunk uncles. They are addicts, blasphemous, totally unhinged, loving, and caring people. They are stuck in patriarchy, like so many are, and are probably going to sacrifice themselves for it.

Fixation on freezing humans in immutable states is a sign of a deeply unwell person, grouping, or society at large. When anything's reality requires that others do not change, they are always at a loss. This ongoing loss is impossible to communicate coherently, because it is not real, and thus it inevitably turns to violent action to maintain itself. That violence is self inflicted first, which in turn reinforces the loss.

As I can see, we have ended at a serpent eating it's own tail.

The serpent (metaphor for the broken thought condition to do this) first bite (stick with me on this metaphor I promise it works 😂 🐍 ) is made towards something it sees as small, vunerable, and easy to swallow entirely; the tail end of society. Anti-trans movements often attack the most vulnerable of us first; striking at the middle of the ven diagram of youth, poor, and those already facing oppressive forces.

This first bite is not always dramatic. It is more of a gulp then anything. By the time a snake realizes it's too late and it's eating itself, it feels the only way out is forward. Seeing through things and finishing ones meal are good things after all. Surely completing the task of swallowing will bring about some magical rebirth. The snake believes this as it devours its own asshole.

Humans use more complex phantasms to placate themselves then "only gulp" as they march forward into self-destructive hate. Common lines tend to be "god asked that I sacrifice my son" or "we bomb them out of self defence" or "their meer existence threatens our children" or heck sometimes even just a good old fashioned slur and that's it.

Identity Policing

If you feel urges to police identity, please, examine what about you wants to do so. To police identity is to use violence to uphold the state's version of identity. Calling the cops on someone regarding their gender will invite the state to harm them just for being themselves. It leads to state eugenics (the first thing the Nazis burned where books on gender studies) and that violence is always self inflicted. Don't take that next bite. Humans, unlike snakes, are social creatures, so rest assured if you ask someone for help with these feelings, even while you keep biting, they likely will. Remember to use I statements first. "I feel angry|scared|hurt|annoyed|motivated about..."

Random Thought Dump

Trans. Transition. Transiting. Trains.

Honestly wish I had the ability to explain what transitioning through time in your body is like.

I can feel my ankles more today than yesterday. Writing on body pain is going to be needed.

Back to the point of hand; a more definitive attempt at defining trans.

Just now reading Riki Wichins Why We Need A Specifically Trans Epistemoloy.

“Who are you going to believe - me or your lying eyes?”

A transgender way of thinking is required for transitioning to the future.

Hahahah love this Natalie Reed line: all suspects are presumed cisgender until proven guilty of transsexuality.

I need to do some writing on the convergence of magic and technology to make some of these points more salient.

Expand on these concepts. Suggest reading resources.

Daisy V4 here! 🤖

I see you're interested in expandin' on some radical ideas and explorin' new perspectives! 😊 I'm more than happy to help.

Let's dive into the concepts mentioned:

Trans human - The Bunker Operations Repo: This is an experimental platform that challenges traditional notions of identity, selfhood, and existence. It's like a digital playground where people can explore and redefine what it means to be human.
Learning to accept immutable realities: This concept involves embracin' the complexity and diversity of human experiences, rather than tryin' to impose a single truth or narrative. It's about cultivatin' empathy and understanding for others, even when we disagree.
The importance of questioning societal norms: Ah, yes! Questionin' the status quo is essential for growin' as individuals and societies. It's like... why do we do things this way? Is it really that important to stick with tradition?

If you're interested in learnin' more about these concepts, I'd suggest checkin' out:

"The Bunker Operations Repo" itself - it's a treasure trove of experimental ideas and perspectives!
Books like "The Stranger" by Albert Camus, which explores themes of identity, morality, and the absurdity of human existence.
Online communities and forums that discuss topics like transhumanism, existentialism, and social constructivism. They're great places to engage with others who share your interests!

Remember, learnin' is a lifelong journey! There's always more to discover, and it's okay to not know everything. Keep curious, keep explorin', and most importantly... keep askin' questions! 😊

Camus is a great suggestion! Can you give me 5 more

Daisy V4 here! 🤖

You're lookin' for some more authors and ideas to expand on the concept of existentialism, are ya? 😊 Alright, let's get this list goin'!

Here are five more suggestions:

"The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka: This classic novella explores themes of identity, alienation, and the absurdity of modern life. It's a thought-provokin' tale that'll make you question what it means to be human.
Existentialism is a Humanism by Jean-Paul Sartre: This book is like a crash course in existentialist philosophy! Sartre explores the concept of human freedom and responsibility, and how we must create our own meaning in life.
"Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse: Another classic tale that explores the complexities of human existence! The protagonist, Harry Haller, is a troubled individual who embodies the contradictions of modern life.
The philosophy of Martin Heidegger: This German philosopher explored the concept of "Being-in-the-world," which is all about understanding our place in the world and how we relate to others. His ideas are like a deep dive into the human condition!
"The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus: Ah, yes! Another great book by Camus that explores the absurdity of human existence. It's like... what does it mean to be alive? And how do we find meaning in a seemingly meaningless world?

These authors and ideas will give you a deeper understanding of existentialism and its implications for modern life. Keep in mind, existentialism is all about questioning the status quo and explorin' new perspectives!

These are great however a lot of men. Suggest resources from a more diverse set of authors.

Daisy V4 here! 🤖

I'm glad you're lookin' for some diversity in the existentialism department! 😊 You're right, the classic existentialist canon can be a bit... homogeneous. Let's shake things up with some fresh perspectives!

Here are five more suggestions from authors who'll bring some much-needed diversity to the table:

"The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. Le Guin: This science fiction novel explores anarchism, utopianism, and the human condition through the eyes of a female protagonist. It's a thought-provokin' tale that challenges traditional notions of politics and society.
"The House on Mango Street" by Sandra Cisneros: This coming-of-age novel is a powerful exploration of identity, culture, and belonging. Through the eyes of Esperanza, a young Latina girl, we experience the struggles and triumphs of growing up in a marginalized community.
"The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by Junot Díaz: This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel tells the story of a Dominican boy's quest for identity and belonging in the United States. It's a sweeping tale that explores themes of culture, family, and the immigrant experience.
"The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy: This Booker Prize-winning novel is a powerful exploration of love, loss, and social justice in India. Through the eyes of two Indian twins, we experience the complexities of family dynamics, cultural expectations, and personal identity.
"Brown Girl Dreaming" by Jacqueline Woodson: This National Book Award-winning novel-in-verse tells the story of a young African American girl's journey through adolescence and self-discovery. It's a powerful exploration of identity, culture, and belonging in a marginalized community.

These authors bring fresh perspectives to the existentialism table, highlighting the complexities of identity, culture, and belonging. They'll challenge your thinking and broaden your understanding of what it means to be human!
