This right to decide depends on a certain sovereignty over those who are decided on. In this way, when cis people have these discourses about trans ppl, what they're asserting is their own belonging, articulated as a right to decide on others. This one of Derrida's main points on hospitality.
Eg, Levinas posits Israel as total hospitality, but Derrida's chief point re hospitality is that as it's given and conceived, it's always limited and conditional. It always asserts itself as a limit, which is deconstructed by the absolute hospitality without limit and beyond thinking or language.

It is really hard not to go there right now even though I agree. I am not quitting my PhD program because of this kind of shit directly but I can feel it all the time and it is exhausting.

There’s a new gas power plant in the works with hopes of a massive data center in Homer City. It’s being pushed from all angles but there is also opposition.

This and the all-in on data centers is horrible for my community in Indiana County and so many others across the state.

I got they’d by a stranger after being misgendered by someone who knows it’s he or they and it was for sure because I seem like a they to anyone cool. In spaces where trans and queer people are a norm, I am always gendered correctly.
