Clear Line Docs

These are notes on important things to help keep my thinking in a logical, clear line. Normally these notes will revolve around politics and ideas around how life should be lived. Expect my thoughts on Ego, Automation, Political Change, Gender and anything else I feel is important. The format generally follows a topic and then points relating to that topic I want to be able to confidently hold.

Transgenderism is good

Anyone anti-trans is likely also bigoted in other manners

James Finn via Medium - LGB is a hate group

Gender is a social construct

I can argue this on my own without external backup but something to send people if I don't have time or they arn't worth the effort. Prioritize in person explanation though.

Philosophy Tube - Gender

Transgenderism has been around since we've had the concept of gender roles

The Cass Review is not only bigoted but incredibly flawed

Points taken from TrashFutures "The Devon Report" episode and transactually's Cass Review Analysis

Issues with what it says

Extra details

Transgenderism has given me a unique worldview

Before my transition I lived for 5 years thinking about gender almost every day, I noticed it everywhere and came out of it with my own views I developed from my experiences. These include:

Transgender people are not inherently mentally unwell (Why is this something I have to argue????)

Climate change is a genuine issue and it needs large scale action from world governments immediately

We're seeing the effects of climate change right now

The Guardian - Large-scale and intense wildfires carrying smoke across northern hemisphere

The Guardian - Firefighters try to save Jasper as fast-moving wildfire hits Canadian resort town --- Mastodon thread of photos from same wild fires

We dont need oil to maintain our economy

UBI has benefits and is doable

What is UBI spent on?

OpenResearch - Key Findings: Spending (alternatively, this is also evidence that UBI is good for the economy as it shows money given is spent)

Capitalism needs altering, if not replacing

Capitalism isn't the default

Trade has existed for a very long time but generally until the industrial revolution in the 17-1800s a lot of people basically didn't use money for anything other than large acts. They'd use common land and their gardens to graze cows harvest wood for fires and grow food. Only during enclosure did people get forced out of this and made reliant on money and work.

A good book for this would be Jeanette Wintersons essay "A loom with a view". A whole book about the idea of capitalism being the default is Mark Fishers "Capitalist Realism"
