Wow, that's a garbo article. Should have gone after the Lena Dunham hysterectomy thing if they wanted to offend people yet be on steady ground as far as sound medical advice/doctor advocacy. Shame, exploring the dark side of patient agency under capitalism is interesting in a bloodless lib way, but hardly original.

From her arguments *all* desire is "the parasite" and artificially imposed by ~neoliberalism~

this is exactly the main, major problem with a bunch of academic assholes using lacanian arguments is that they think the language is universally accessible, because it is not

"Desire", in psychoanalysis and general psychology, is something that you feel but you cannot truly know, nor is ever fulfilled: it is the closest thing one can learn about that shows that we are incomplete and imperfect beings. What is worse is that desires come from the discourse we all live under in: a lot of what we think we want have been implanted in ourselves through the words and actions of others, as well as what society itself considers proper or not.

To work with desire, in a psychotherapeutic context, is to find the space where you actually get to a point you can consider "wait a loving minute, what the gently caress do I actually want?" in relation to all the rest that you have been absorbing or has been imposed on you. And by realizing that you do not know what you want, the order of things you were "supposed" to do or be come crashing down. This, by itself, causes a very powerful thing: what was once impossible in your social reality, in your psyche, is now possible.

Through this process, desire becomes a powerful thing in the patient's favor, rather than a burden. In relation to trans people, how come the desire of transition, which is profoundly related to actualization and as such is very well within the purview of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to aid the patient to go towards, an imposed desire by society at large?

tl;dr - using lacanian words to do some reaction poo poo

I don't really have a dog in that fight and even I could tell that was a futile attempt at walking poo poo back. She doesn't say anything that even attempts to refute the core of the criticism from the the people roasting her.

shut the gently caress up dude. nobody but you gives a poo poo if liz is cancelled or not over posting and promoting a paywalled navelgazing transphobic thunkpiece. it's a garbage article top to bottom, because even if you're trying to glean the one pinprick of sensible critique it makes like how all healthcare under capitalism is warped by market logic, it's still making that point at the expense of trans people. and going "hey this article is excellent even if u disagree engage pls uwu" is just admitting ignorance and vapidity

dukkha is the metaphysical form of desire according to buddhism, yes, but tbqf psychology offers more immediate tools to work with that than enlightenment haha

i don't really care about looking calm and i have never claimed to be reasonable. bizarre post. nplusone is read by maybe 100 people on a good day. i don't see how getting angry at their garbage or some podcaster boosting it is useful beyond getting some cheap laughs. i mean i'm all for that but the histrionics of doc hawkins above is just weird. NPO has no influence and no real audience. and the people who did read the article *universally reject it*. nobody gives a poo poo about the rightist liberalism of nplusone, the NYT op ed page already has that market cornered. when i say "liz is uncancellable" it is a statement of fact, not an endorsement. there is literally no point engaging with any of it unless we're trying to get some yuks out of it. certainly there is nothing at an intellectual level in that article to process.

The full essay is linked on the True Anon reddit in a massive thread over there. Before even getting to the later points in that essay it sucks so bad, the author spends 700 words reminiscing about a conversation about a mole she had with her plastic surgeon father. Also to get petty, I googled her name to see if she had anything else to read and her rate your professor showed up and those kids hate her.

Before True Anon I first recognized Liz from seeing her avi constantly in the replies of Aimee, Anna K and all the other bright bulbs in that realm of the twitter lady left and while she's not as dumb as those two she seems like a horrible judge of character, kind of a suck up, and is def keeping some unpopular opinions of hers on the dl. What can you do? No hate for Liz really, but she did make a tweet like "drat my girls chat should be a movie :p" and for that alone (and stanning Disney parks) she deserves a little internet backlash for her hubris.
