The Trans Issue No One Is Talking About

Transwomen should be able to ignore or play with cultural beauty standards just like cis women do.

My day in pictures: (1) waking up with tea and youth criminology, (2) some more criminology, (3) running with my dog, (4) checking out master programmes, (5) watching an episode of lie to me, (6) journaling with my best friend.

Goals:

1. Do science. 2. Advance the human race. 3. Make other people happy.

A note to incoming STEM major freshmen and high schoolers who are thinking of pursuing science:

you WILL take more than one STEM class. every single semester. so will every single other STEM major. no one will feel bad if you think you have a hard course load because you’re in more than one STEM class. it’s just not happening.

that being said - here is the god’s honest truth, coming from someone who’s overloaded in courses 4 out of 5 semesters (because they wouldn’t let me do so my first):

1) everything you think you can’t do, you can, and then some

2) everything you think is the hardest thing you’ve experienced, you will overcome, and then face even harder challenges, which you will also overcome

3) if you love what you’re doing - really, truly, love what you’re doing - you’ll be ecstatic that your entire schedule consists of just that. taking only STEM classes is awesome when that’s what you want to devote the rest of your life to

basically what I’m getting at with this is -

If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you’re right.

“I like to sit alone and think about the world. I wanted to be a philosophy major, but there is no philosophy class at our universities. The only class offered is ‘Religion and Philosophy.’ We aren’t exactly encouraged to decide things for ourselves. Any philosophy we have must be built on the existence of God. So I switched my major to physics. It still allows me to think about the world. And if someone wants me to say that a thing is true, they need to prove it with a formula.“ (Tehran, Iran)

It is by logic we prove. It is by intuition we discover.“

Henri Poincaré (via stardust-seedling)

Great physicists and their blackboards.
