I can’t keep having the same conversations about love languages, mbti, iq, bmi, “brain fully formed at 25” and shit over and over again…

these things exist on a spectrum from untrue to straightforwardly racist btw. so if we could retire them forever that’d be nice.

“Love Languages” are just common couples therapy techniques mangled and repackaged by an unqualified homophobe. Relationships generally need all 5 love languages to be fulfilled, which is to say, everybody needs to communicate with, spend time with, and do things for their partners, and that’s got nothing to do with any special way you communicate affection.

MBTI has been proven completely ineffective at predicting anyone’s success at a particular job, and half the people who take it twice will get different results. Reputable psychologists do not recognize it, and the company that owns the rights to it uses it to scam people. People don’t adhere to strict binaries in basically anything. Very few people are going to be exclusively introverted or extroverted. It’s just astrology repackaged as pseudoscience. Shockingly enough, you can’t boil the complexity of the human experience down to a dozen Types of Guy.

The concept of IQ is flawed from the start— “intelligence” is an abstract concept that encompasses many different skills, from social intelligence to emotional intelligence to the very narrow kind of problem solving intelligence IQ tests generally measure for. It cannot predict how fast you learn, how much you know, or how logical and well read you are. It mostly measures how good you are at solving puzzles. Coincidentally, it’s also a pretty good predictor of income and education level, take a guess why. Most people’s IQ will change throughout their lives, because it’s inconsistent bullshit we’ve only held onto this long because we’re still kinda hoping we can breed the ubermensch. IQ tests and the way they attempt to categorize people are explicitly eugenicist and racist.

BMI was developed by a man known as the grandfather of eugenics, who first of all was a mathematician, not a doctor, and second never intended the formula to be used to categorize individuals. It’s intended to give a rough estimate of obesity in populations, and it’s not even good at that. It hangs around because of fatphobia and insurance companies who want it as an excuse to charge fat people more.

The study which determined people’s prefrontal cortex was still developing at 25… stopped measuring at 25. Evidence suggests your brain probably never stops developing. Stop infantilizing grown adults. This is a branch off from the larger mess of misinformation surrounding fMRIs.

If you haven’t put together what all these things have in common yet, here’s the moral of the story: STOP TRYING TO CATEGORIZE PEOPLE. STOP TRYING TO PUT PEOPLE IN A GODDAMN BIOLOGICAL HIERARCHY. EUGENICS IS BAD, AND WILL ALWAYS BE BAD, NO MATTER WHO’S DOING IT.

im makin a zine abt drawing top surgery scars !

Would you help me out by answering some questions abt top surgery scars? This is definitely leaning more toward ppl who have had top surgery, but I’d love to hear from anyone and everyone about what they think, what they like, what they want to know.

HERES THE FORM. TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT!!!!

So many thoughtful responses!

Thank you everyone who has taken time to share their thoughts and experiences. I have smiled and laughed and learned so much from reading them! keep em coming :)

There were two questions in particular that i want to answer before the zine is finished! and they are this:

What is the best way to find reference photos of top surgery scars?

This is an excellent question! I know pre-op I was all over r/topsurgery you can also look at results posted on the websites of surgeons who perform top surgeries. i was lucky enough to be carved up by Dr. Mosser. I don’t know of any other places to find refs, but if YOU do, reader, please comment and i’ll edit my post to include. :)

Is double incision really the most popular surgery, or is it over-represented?

Double-incision is definitely the most common top surgery procedure, but in my survey alone i got a lot of people with inverted T and anchor scars reporting in! There are also “single incision” top surgery scars, like what I have, where it’s just a single line all the way across your chest. this is usually for fatter people and/or people with large breasts, and (like me!) the scar reaches all the way around to or a little past the armpits.
