stories that are deconstructions of the traditional fairytale & in which a central conflict is the romanticization of the idea of a certain kind of princess being rescued by a certain kind of prince but the ‘princess’ character harbors a dark secret that makes her believe herself to be unlovable if known and consequent internal guilt of being a sham princess and the ‘prince’ character does not fulfill the traditional image of a prince in a widely societally perceived way that causes them to struggle with internal guilt of being a sham prince
Hello you need to see this drag performer talking about quantum physics, queer existence, and non-binary identities.
[Video Description: A drag queen — who is credited as Amrou Al-Kadhi / Glamrou, a drag performer, writer, and filmmaker — stands in front of a microphone and explains,
“Quantum physics is this incredible sect of of physics, which basically…
With like, Newtonian physics — I think of it as heteronormative physics — where its basically ‘What are the fixed universal principles that govern the world? If I do A, will B happen? What are the formulas that’ll tell us anywhere in the universe, “What will happen if I input this?”’
Quantum physics is equally a “real” sect of physics that basically looks at subatomic particles — so the very smallest things in our universe, not the macro things — and they contradict basically everything that Newtonian physics shows us. So, the most famous experiment is the Double Slit Experiment, where you fire an electron and it should go through the left or right hole. And then every now and then, it goes through both at the same time. And we don’t really know why. And sometimes, the same subatomic particle is in different locations at the same times.
And quantum physics shows that actually reality itself is basically a majority approximation of what’s happening sub-atomically. So when people spew the biological essentialism argument on me. Like, particles themselves are non-binary, and do things that contradict each other all the time, we just can’t see them all the time. And that gives me a lot of comfort, that if subatomic particles defy constructs all the time, why should we believe in fixed constructs of gender, or any kind of reality?” END DESCRIPTION]
“Newtonian physics is heteronormative” is not the take I expected to see on my dash today, but it is 100% inspirational.
i needed this
all aspects of life can be improved by drag and thats just a fact
Okay so I just got off the phone with them. I talked to a trans girl named Aurora & she was super helpful! She gave me a few doctors to talk to & encouraged me to seek therapy instead of just rushing to get my pills. She literally found a trans friendly therapist in my town & I would definitely recommend giving them a call!
GUYS COME SEE THIS!!!!!! I didn’t know about this, come look!!!!!!
it literally would not be right to ever not reblog this
For any trans followers I have. Stay safe and know you are loved
