Not only that but it also has in many ways treated non-cishet communities in the Global South as less developed versions of non-cishet people in the Global North, US to be precise. In its effort to not apply a colonial universalism to queer and trans populations of the third world, it has inadvertently excluded them while positioning certain groups as &#34;authentic local subjects&#34; or as &#34;modernized or inauthentic&#34;<br/><br/>In the next chapters he will be exploring the underdevelopment of the Global South and the rise of China in the world order and it&#39;s impact on the queer trans communities in CHina (i think?) super excited! 2025-12-08T16:17:02+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspy3twejcpwpknfl47gptg80w7x3svt9075q0r67097tmxzrvacgszyq6g986q76j7tnkey7nmvg9vj5wu60nlc738fkx3auxfl9w2ccwh7w6k5l5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst8cw2tag8fnj6gxwf37z6psk9vt0ml2ts7mc9plrfn9q2aq4794szkxqak'>nevent1q…xqak</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>imposter syndrome khoop zoraat hit kartoey karanki my brain is hardcoded to compete in a ratrace ani jevha i hang out with people who are way more pochlele than me, i just get super anxious and depressed and feel worthless lol. 2025-11-19T09:44:51+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvy4kzcasqp2c39tf8wssh75aajx6j5zfw0v5z2caqdq53yp66czszyq6g986q76j7tnkey7nmvg9vj5wu60nlc738fkx3auxfl9w2ccwh7sr56p4 Am i getting radicalised against nuclear (slowly but steadily)? 2025-10-26T22:37:59+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9qgnj5udcdv56e75xv7wfq0gy7dwzmrferlk8scuermlvp6rceyqzyq6g986q76j7tnkey7nmvg9vj5wu60nlc738fkx3auxfl9w2ccwh72sddap Spotted in the toilet of Smålands Nation<br/> <img src="https://s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/mastinsaan/media_attachments/files/115/146/887/674/102/814/original/07e9f08870aa0df7.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-09-04T18:07:53+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstzvudkp6ev9n6qnzl6vg8xdzrmw88my938yp2yadrc35ql6ul4eqzyq6g986q76j7tnkey7nmvg9vj5wu60nlc738fkx3auxfl9w2ccwh7l8zpce In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsph9px7l6yqruqdx796gnxt8vwt099a22m0vd7hpdv9ljvct65jkgaf4qua'>nevent1q…4qua</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Will try this too.

Tbh I do not want to own a lot of books and CDs. It’s wasteful. I would much rather have access to a well-resourced and well stocked library and borrow things from it. I understand owning a few books/movies that will be re-read/watched again and again. Or albums that will be listened to in loop. But most times we don’t do that. <br/><br/>It is also better for the planet that we do not hoard so many things. 2025-07-29T07:13:00+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstdw9mzfyszxst6zq7u6q8pw4fjhgp0d89nwuxzkcfqvw85aeytdqzyq6g986q76j7tnkey7nmvg9vj5wu60nlc738fkx3auxfl9w2ccwh7sm4p6f my residence permit has reached delhi. thank fuck. 2025-07-11T06:15:04+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszsuyd6gzpxzpctqvdelsdxxl84hjlqkvnueer30tun9hssl8wm7szyq6g986q76j7tnkey7nmvg9vj5wu60nlc738fkx3auxfl9w2ccwh78spnwt me liking [@mehluv](<a href="https://mastinsaan.in/@mehluv">https://mastinsaan.in/@mehluv</a> ) &#39;s toots 🤓 not understanding half the tech stuff he says lol. 2024-10-03T07:59:32+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstdmn7yt7p336tx64fdr4etamplsxrj64aguf2yuxzpltk9s8vm8szyq6g986q76j7tnkey7nmvg9vj5wu60nlc738fkx3auxfl9w2ccwh73yjng7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs048q5tddep355g9t8ejvn8aqe4v53q957fd42y5dkkljydl7vfqcjz3s3s'>nevent1q…3s3s</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>actually there is a video by PhilTube... cis people also experience dysphoria because of our expectations of what an ideal cis body looks like.
