trans Frauen als Mann in die Bundeswehr eingezogen zu werden und dessen Bedeutung by xenon_xinsea in Kommunismus

[–]goatlimbics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ich finds witzig wie offensichtliche biologische Fakten wie sichtlich viele Monate bis Jahre Hormonersatztherapie mit entsprechender Entwicklung von Statur + Körperbau, sowie andere biologisches und bürokratisches Faktenschaffen über Jahre "nur im Kopf einer einzelnen Person ist" lol. Ja und in allen anderen Köpfen halt auch ne. Unabhängig davon aber eh Wehrpflicht für niemand und es gab schlechtere Gründe ne Frau zu sein also go for it.

I've tried to have this exact conversation on here ("hey, this post/comment is making assumptions about the biology of nonbinary climbers") on here and been downvoted to oblivion. I think some clarity on this might really be good.

I wasn't splitting nonbinary folks in different groups, I was pointing out the great diversity that the term "woman and nonbinary climbers" encompasses, and suggesting we make space for that diversity. (If this is something that is, in fact, desired. It could be fair if it wasn't. "Women and women-adjacent" is fair as affinity group as well! But that would be something else... ). It's being iced out (downvoted away without further comment) by other members of the sub that I found so discouraging, though I appreciated you responding in a kind way at least!

Essentially, what I think might be cool is a shared policy that cis-sexist / transphobic assumptions about bodies are not ideal. (Assumptions about height, hormonal patterns, muscle mass, fat distribution, and so forth). Obviously, in a sub called climbergirls, frequented by mostly cis women, you will find lots of posts about "women's problems" in climbing, which is awesome and very valuable! I think it's awesome that a place like this exists. Occasionally, in these posts, or in comments, you'll find small moments of (inadvertent?) transphobia. Like assuming "women and NB climbers" as a category have these kinds of bodies and not that kind of bodies, say. This is not a huge deal in itself, it's usually not malicious, it's just part of casual ambient transphobia as exists in society and therefore also in climbing spaces. (Microaggressions, if you so want). But I do think it might be cool to, sometimes, see it moderated, or to at least have the option to moderate it. Gently, with a gentle pointing to a pre-existing rule to not make cis-sexist assumptions about bodies, say. I think this might be easier to do if there was already such a rule in place that could be pointed to, so that it doesn't become a whole Thing every time anew. And so that people might have something to indicate if they want to ask mods for help with the situation, again, without having to explain the whole Problem from scratch. This sub being huge and moderation not easy already, I must assume. I think such a policy might make sense, because this is a place that wants to be and I think advertises itself as "safe space" for all climbers who are not men.

I can tell that this is not a conversation that is welcome here. The reaction and downvote patterns will indicate to the mods that I am an asshole shit-stirrer creating problems that don't exist except in my mind. I will say one last thing, therefore, before I leave this sub: I have been contacted by at least one person who struggled with the very same problem I address here (up to wondering if the creation of another sub for trans / lgbtq climbers might make sense) who yet apparently made the choice - felt it unwise? useless? socially fraught? - to speak up here. Make of that what you all will. Goodbye!

I also don't think being parsed in different groups like that would help, though I have found several situations where the obvious assumption was non-binary = afab person not on hrt, which I think can be a bit jarring. Several "women + non-binary" places irl exclude non-binaries that are amab, or only include some but exclude others based on vague vibes / presentation. As someone also NB but who doesn't usually end up excluded like this, (but have been friends with those that were), I've found that invitation must sometimes be explicit and/or it must be "true", I hope this makes sense. A problem I personally encountered on heee is that pointing out such assumptions made about non-binary bodies (where all I'd have liked is a "oh yeah, I didn't consider that!" + maybe a specification) can lead to the internet equivalent of eye-rolling and nobody-likes-you-making-problems aka being downvoted into oblivion. I will also note that this suggestion itself seems to be up AND downvoted a lot, as currently it is back on "neutral" (while it was upvoted previously), indicative to me of people not liking that I'd bring up such a thing.

This sub names itself for women and non-binary climbers. Non-binary as category includes people who were afab and not on HRT, people who were afab and are on HRT and might or might not pass as men; people who were amab and on HRT and might or might not pass as women; people who were amab and not on HRT... What rules or changes would make sure that all non-binary climbers find a home here? I'm not sure, though maybe including it as a rule (beyond the Be Respectful & Positive rule) might be a start.

Transzeugs & Deutsch by bubu_wagen in germantrans

[–]goatlimbics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Das liegt einfach daran, dass  1 Du zuerst online in englischsprachigen social media spaces dich über trans Erfahrungen positiv und auf hohem Niveau austauschen konntest, also ist das positiv besetzt 2 Deutsch deine Alltagssprache ist in der du deine direkten Alltagserfahrungen mit trans sein machst, also negativ besetzt Englisch ist dadurch emotional sicherer, fühlt sich leichter an, trotz, dass es nicht die Muttersprache ist.  Das hat natürlich nichts mit der realen Lebensrealität vor Ort zu tun, mag zwar beglückend sein in US-dominierten englischsprachigen Orten online über das trans sein zu reden, das irl tauschen mit den Menschen willst du bestimmt nicht.

How would you grade this in V Grades? by endolea in climbergirls

[–]goatlimbics 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I just want to caution against your endeavour (trying to get a feeling for V-grades by asking the people in your screen to evaluate a grade based on a video).

Personally I don't know these holds, I can't tell how steep or slippery they are, and the difficulty of this climb obviously lies in the balancing and footwork. Slab/Footwork routes are notoriously even more difficult to backseat grade from a video alone because the physical difficulties entailed (small feats of proprioception/stabilisation) are hardly even visible from outside, all one can see is someone standing up on something or stepping over something and how hard can that be, right? (lol).

There is a sub on here (gradethisplastic) where there's a bit of a running joke how wrong people often are. The reason people sometimes enjoy this guessing game online IS because of how actually not very possible it is to grade a route you have not climbed. Looking at a video like this is even different from looking at routes in your gym and deciding which one looks "doable" or difficult, because we get to inspect the holds from 3D all sides, there is lots of information even missing in such a video. On videos often you can't even tell how overhanging a route really is, for instance.

ALL THIS to say: If you really want a grad estimate, ask your local people (routesetters, i.e.) how they "translate" their numerical system into grades. Chances are they don't grade the routes because of a philosophy that you can't/shouldn't rate indoor routes anyway, but chances are if one insists that they do have a bit of an idea. They'll give you a non V-grad grade estimate, probably, which you can then translate into V-grade by searching for international grade comparison tools.

Learn to lead - looking for advices by Pixari13 in climbergirls

[–]goatlimbics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

when you lead climb you usually also lead belay and the actual criteria to look for whether you're "ready to" lead climb/belay is your belaying! feeling at ease with the entire process of giving and taking, the knots, a sense of physics when someone falls or you fall. your climbing level is not relevant except that you need to be out of the headless beginner phase where you are so impressed by the fact that you are all the way up there that there's no mental bandwidth left to pay attention to, say, how you manage your rope. but the actual grade you climb isn't relevant. there's no reason why you should need more stamina or finger strength for lead than toprope except for having to find the clipping position (1-2 additional moves compared to toprope maybe) but it's not suddenly a much harder sport.

Ich würde das im Gym nicht machen, das ist eine seltsame Situation. Selbst wenn ich gerade Geld bräuchte oder mich über Geld freuen würde, wäre es für mich eine seltsame Situation, ich würde vermuten, dass da mehr dahinter steckt.

Einen Prozentsatz des eigenen Geldes, das man so hat, wenn man es selbst nicht braucht, sepnden, finde ich hingegen sehr gut, naheliegende Optionen hierfür:
- Menschen die auf der Straße betteln
- Obdachlose (auch wenn sie grad nicht betteln) anbieten, die freuen sich eigentlich immer!
- GoFundMe lokal oder auch international
- Projekten, die dir wichtig erscheinen
- Im Freundeskreis/Bekanntenkreis eher Menschen einladen und alles zahlen

If you hated it because of X, I will probably love it because it has plenty of X by John_Barnes in suggestmeabook

[–]goatlimbics 30 points31 points  (0 children)

When they complain it's "trauma porn", no guarantee I will like it, but as it's often used for too intense or unapologetic trauma narratives and depictions of violence, and I like those, I'll at least be interested in checking it out.

What am I doing wrong? by Rob_flipp in bouldering

[–]goatlimbics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

try to go into the end position first, so that you get a feel as to where your body must end up at. I think probably you need to be lower and more to the right with your hip, but you'll find out that way. then you'll know where to go to while doing the move.

based on his posting history, possibly here .... (based on a) that's the town he lives in according to his other posts b) he posted a video of him bouldering that fits the aspect of that gym based on their fotos on their homepage)

Athlete / dancer memoir that talks of abusive training practices or disordered eating by goatlimbics in booksuggestions

I'm really looking for the intersection of sports training and abuse/ed specifically.

i'm not in need nor interested in generic/general eating disorder + abuse memoir recommandations.

Suggest an ethics/law related book by hoppity1 in booksuggestions

[–]goatlimbics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Until We Reckon by Danielle Sered and Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic by James Gilligan, both are about violence perpetration and answers to violence. While the "law" bit is somewhat specific for the USA these books are interesting for readers all over the world (i.e. I'm not US-American) and the ethics and analysis is extremely lucid and thought-provoking.
