De 1780 à 1870, "les débats sur le déboisement, l’érosion des sols, la qualité de l’air ou les pollutions industrielles montrent que l’environnement n’était ni neutre ni absent. Il faisait l’objet de conflits, de peurs, d’expertises, parfois même de lois. Ce n’est donc pas notre époque qui aurait soudain « découvert » la nature, mais bien un long processus de mise en tension entre exploitation et protection. Ce retour au passé permet ainsi de mieux comprendre le présent. Il oblige à voir comment nos sociétés se sont progressivement habituées à extraire, transformer, détruire, tout en développant en parallèle un attachement romantique à la nature. Ce double mouvement, fait de ponctions et d’émerveillements, traverse encore nos politiques écologiques, nos paysages et nos contradictions."

Qu’est-ce que l’histoire environnementale ?
France Culture · Qu’est-ce que l’histoire environnementale ?Et si l’histoire de France s’était écrite contre, la nature ? L’historien Jean-Baptiste Fressoz et d’autres chercheurs proposent une relecture du XXIe siècle au prisme d’une histoire environnementale, pour interroger autrement la notion de progrès, les formes de pouvoir et notre héritage écologique.

(#TransitionTimeline Part 3 of 3)

But nowadays? Even in my low points, I feel an intensity that was missing inside through my first 27 years of life (outside of getting emotional over music and film). An intensity that shows that I was never 'male' to begin with. I fully believe that on the night I first put on that black dress, the real me was instinctively urging me to put it on so that I finally realized myself.

I'm glad I did.

Anyways, here is a timelapse of some photos in chronological order throughout the transition. The first photo was taken the day before I started #HRT and the final photo was taken today.

(#TransitionTimeline Part 1 of 3)

2 years ago, my first pills of #estrogen and #spiro arrived in the mail after I ordered them from a pharmacy in Thailand (mom's only concern was thinking ordering from an international source would've opened up the risk of the pills being tainted with fentanyl). While I ordered the pills to silence doubts running in my brain (the #HRT consultation from Planned Parenthood was scheduled for October...and I wasn't willing to wait that long having doubts), the second the E went under my tongue, I felt an intense warmness (which in hindsight was placebo since E doesn't even start having mental effects until a couple weeks in) amidst a taste akin to that of cotton candy. Almost as if my body was telling me "Girl, you're trans. No need to doubt anymore." The further along I've gone, the more secure in myself that this was one of the best decisions I've ever made....and one I should've made sooner.

While the #gendereuphoria of putting on the dress at the start was what gave me my Danny DeVito-esque moment of silently saying "Oh my God, I get it", feeling and noticing my body slowly morph has been a wonder--softening of skin, boobs, shifting around of body fat, developing hips/thighs/ass, etc. I've also tried developing my own forms of fashion that comes in three flavors (sometimes intermixed with each other): 1). goth-chic, 2) Flamgirlant (aggressively feminine in a flamboyant manner), and 3) as slutty as acceptable in public spaces in a conservative state. Social transition has been the slowest for me thanks to me being supercharged to be bullheadish-ly me (perhaps emboldened by the continuing aftershocks of #gendereuphoria), but sometimes I make unconscious and subtle steps towards social transition....but not fast enough.

@Tooden SRS is not surgery? 😮🤷‍♀️🤯

I think we must be at cross-purposes here somehow. #SRS is the acronym for #SexReassignmentSurgery, though it has several [sometimes country-specific] similar names with associated acronyms [eg, #GAS #GenderAffirmationSurgery, #GRS #GenitalReconfigurationSurgery].

Around the period of my research into & then having of SRS in the early Oughties, there were some people using the entirely silly "definition" of #GRS as "Gender Reassignment Surgery" [silly & wrong coz the entire problem of #GenderDysphoria is that we need to fix our bodies to match our self-known gender identity, not the other way around. I truly hope that incorrect term has died out by now].

In any event, semantics aside, they all mean the same surgical procedure [in the overview, anyway, though there's variants of specific techniques].

I was/am so critical of the article coz "castration" is not simply misleading, but is specifically the sort of inflammatory pejorative used by despicable transphobes & transmisics in pursuit of their ignorant RWNJ christofascism.
