hi i’ve kinda been off discourse but i just wanted to say this bc i’ve seen a lot of arguments about it

there’s a difference between having transgender pride and wanting to be trans

i (mostly) love the transgender community. i love the youth support groups i go to and the friends i’ve made bc of how i was born. i’m proud of the hardships i’ve faced because of dysphoria. i take pride in being transgender because that’s who i am.

BUT!!! i do not want to be trans. i would give up all the support groups and community to be cis. cis female or cis male i do not care. i would love to be comfortable in my own body. no transgender person wants to be trans. nobody wants to go through dysphoria

so enough with that “truscum just want trans ppl to hate themselves” bc its actual bull. i am proud of who i am, but that does not mean i chose it.

what if i told you that a lot of “Americanized” versions of foods were actually the product of immigrant experiences and are not “bastardized versions”

That’s actually fascinating, does anyone have any examples?

Chinese-American food is a really good example of this and this article provides a good intro to the history http://firstwefeast.com/eat/2015/03/illustrated-history-of-americanized-chinese-food

I took an entire class about Italian American immigrant cuisine and how it’s a product of their unique immigrant experience. The TL;DR is that many Italian immigrants came from the south (the poor) part of Italy, and were used to a mostly vegetable-based diet. However, when they came to the US they found foods that rich northern Italians were depicted as eating, such as sugar, coffee, wine, and meat, available for prices they could afford for the very first time. This is why Italian Americans were the first to combine meatballs with pasta, and why a lot of Italian American food is sugary and/or fattening. Italian American cuisine is a celebration of Italian immigrants’ newfound access to foods they hadn’t been able to access back home.

Stuff you Missed in History Class has a really good podcast overview of “Foreign Food” in the US.
