Ich bin Linus by Linus Giese

Wie ich der Mann wurde, der ich schon immer war

Ein Satz, der wie eine Selbstverständlichkeit klingt – «Ich bin Linus» –, doch er teilt sein Leben in ein Davor und Danach. Auf beeindruckende Weise erzählt Linus Giese, warum er einunddreißig Jahre alt werden musste, um laut auszusprechen, dass er ein Mann und trans ist und warum sein Leben heute vielleicht nicht einfacher, aber sehr viel glücklicher ist.

«Wer verstehen will, welche verschlungenen Wege es manchmal sein können, auf denen sich die eigene Identität entdecken lässt, wer verstehen will, wie sich eine Person immer wieder neu finden kann, wer verstehen will, was es heißt, trans zu sein, dass das nicht nur im Singular, sondern im Plural existiert, dass es ein ganzes Spektrum gibt, wie sich als trans Person leben, denken und lieben lässt – all denen sei dieses Buch ans Herz gelegt.» (Carolin Emcke)

Eigentlich ahnt er es seit seinem sechsten Lebensjahr. Doch aus Sorge darüber, wie sein Umfeld reagieren könnte und weil ihm Begriffe wie trans, queer, nicht-binär fehlen, verschweigt Linus lange, wer er wirklich ist. Mit dem Satz «Ich bin Linus» beginnt im Sommer 2017 sein neues Leben, das endlich nicht mehr von Scham, sondern Befreiung geprägt ist. Offen erzählt Linus Giese von seiner zweiten Pubertät, euphorischen Gefühlen in der Herrenabteilung, beklemmenden Arztbesuchen, bürokratischen Hürden, Selbstzweifeln, Freundschaft und Solidarität, von der Macht der Sprache und digitaler Gewalt. Seit seinem Coming-Out engagiert sich Linus für die Rechte von trans Menschen. Vor allem im Netz, aber nicht nur dort, begegnet ihm seither immer wieder Hass. Doch Schweigen ist für ihn keine Option.

«Linus Giese erzählt seine Geschichte so offen, mutig und spannend, dass man das Buch kaum aus der Hand legen kann. Ich sage das nicht oft, aber: Hören Sie diesem Mann zu.» (Margarete Stokowski)

Der längste "Glitch" der Welt

4 Minuten verschwanden im Nirwana

Die Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn hatte am 12. März 2024 zu einer Veranstaltung unter dem Titel: „A Mentsh is Mentsh“ eingeladen. Die von Nicole Deitelhoff und Meron Mendel moderierte Veranstaltung hatte Omar Bartov, Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Carolin Emcke, Publizistin und Hito Steyerl, Filmemacherin und Autorin auf die Bühne gebeten.

In der Ankündigung zur Veranstaltung nach den Ereignissen des 7. Oktober hieß es zu ihrer Intention: „A mentsh is a mentsh ist der Titel dieser Gesprächsreihe mit Nicole Deitelhoff und Meron Mendel über den Umgang mit Antisemitismus, Rassismus und Post-Kolonialismus. Terror und Krieg in Nahost belasten das gesellschaftliche Klima – auch in Deutschland und Europa. Antisemitische Vorfälle häufen sich – selbst in künstlerischen und wissenschaftlichen Kontexten. Wie soll man damit umgehen? Wie soll man Konflikten und Sensibilitäten, realen und imaginierten Verletzungen, Unschärfen und Widersprüchen begegnen? Wie können wir halbwegs integer miteinander reden und zusammenwirken? Von Mensch zu Mensch? ..." Die Diskussion wurde live aufgezeichnet und auch anschließend ins Internet gestellt. Der international anerkannte Professor für Holocaust und Genozid Studien, Omar Bartov, machte danach aber mit folgenden Worten eine Anmerkung:

„It has been pointed out to be that some of my words in this conversation around min 38, apparently referring to potencial genozid in Gaza was edited out. I checked and that is indeed the case. This is very troubling and will hopefully corrected.“

Auf deutsch:

„Man hat mich darauf hingewiesen, dass einige meiner Worte in diesem Gespräch um die Minute 38, die sich offenbar auf den potenziellen Genozid in Gaza beziehen, herausgeschnitten wurden. Ich habe das überprüft, und das ist tatsächlich der Fall. Das ist sehr beunruhigend und wird hoffentlich korrigiert.“

Daraufhin twitterten die Verantwortlichen der Bundeskunsthalle auf X:

„In der Tat ein ärgerlicher Glitch. Es handelt sich keineswegs um Zensur, sondern um einen Aussetzer des Livestreams. Wir werden die Aufzeichnung ohne diese technische Panne so schnell wie möglich hochladen.“

Dies ist inzwischen geschehen und das Gespräch (mit unsichtbarem Glitch bei Minute 38) ist mit 1:31h ( https://youtu.be/HU5QB06LqPs ) und vollständig 1:35h lang (https://www.youtube.com /watch?v=ZeQqoiR2TfU ) auf Youtube anzuschauen.

Mit einem "Glitch" bezeichnet man beim Videoschnitt in der Regel Fehler, die in Videos oder beim Zusammenfügen von Aufnahmen entstehen, wenn die Daten zwischen zwei Keyframes (innerhalb einer Sekunde) unvollständig oder fehlerhaft sind. Im Bild entsteht dabei ein Mosaikmuster und der Ton wird verzerrt. Ein Glitch über 4 Minuten oder 4 mal 60 Keyframes wäre ein Weltrekord.

Lassen wir die technischen Begründungen/Ausreden beiseite, so bleibt, dass ausgerechnet die 4 Minuten im ersten Video fehlen, in denen Omar Bartov als international angesehener Experte für Völkermorde genau darüber spricht.

Leider kommen ähnliche "Übertragungsfehler" fast täglich in unseren Medien vor, wenn man über den potenziellen Genozid durch Israel sprechen müsste. Das krasseste Beispiel war die (mangelhafte) Berichterstattung über die Klage Südafrikas vor dem Internationalen Gerichtshof, wo uns die ausführlichen Begründungen Südafrikas meist vorenthalten wurden. Über die vielen absichtlichen "Glitches" im Material des israelischen Militär im Zusammenhang mit den über 100 Ermordeten im Kontext einer UN-Hilfslieferung steht noch mehr im verlinkten Artikel ...

Episode Reviews - Star Trek: Voyager Season 5 (1 of 7)

Apologies to my readers for taking a while to get to this latest round of episodes.  Been having writer’s block across all my projects of late, but I’m past it now.

Episode 1: Night

Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):

En route towards the Alpha Quadrant, Voyager is forced to travel through a sector of space devoid of any stellar phenomena (stars, planets, nebulae, etc).  This vast sector of space is dubbed “the void” by the Voyager crew, and will take two years to cross, but only two months into the travel has set the crew on edge. Left with nothing to do in the empty darkness, Captain Janeway has taken the time to reflect on their situation, feeling intense guilt for her choices that left the crew stranded in the Delta Quadrant.

 One day, all power to the ship is knocked out, caused by an external field. They discover several alien intruders aboard Voyager and are able to capture one (the aliens are not identified on screen, but are referred to in the script as Night Aliens). They manage to restore power, discovering themselves surrounded by three smaller ships, but soon these are chased away by a larger ship of different design. Its pilot introduces himself to the Voyager crew as Emck, a member of a species called the Malon. After learning of Voyager's plight, he offers to lead the ship to a vortex that can lead them to the other side of The Void, in exchange for the Night Alien. Janeway refuses until she learns more.

 The Night Alien in Sickbay is dying of theta radiation but after learning that Voyager has no hostile intentions, apologizes for his species' actions. They are a people that are trying to fight the Malon, as the Malon dump toxic theta radiation into the vortex, harming their species. The Night Alien is transported off Voyager by its fellow people before it dies. Janeway then tells Emck that she knows what's really going on and attempts to arrange a deal with him, to provide him with Federation technology to recycle the theta radiation into useful energy and matter in exchange for passage to the vortex, but Emck refuses, as this technology would ruin his livelihood as a waste hauler.

 Janeway learned of the vortex's location from the Night Alien and she attempts to order the crew to send Voyager through the vortex while she stays behind in a shuttlecraft to destroy it, ending the Malon's use of The Void as a dumping ground. The crew refuses, willing to risk another two years in the void rather than risk losing the captain. Together, they come up with a second plan, to launch torpedoes shortly after entering the vortex, then flying at speed to stay ahead of the ensuing shockwave as the vortex is destroyed. As Voyager approaches the vortex, they are attacked by the Malon, but soon the smaller Night Alien ships reappear and distract the Malon long enough for Voyager to enter and destroy the vortex. Damage caused by the Malon forces Voyager to use ride the shockwave instead of out-pacing it, and the journey leaves them but a short distance from the edge of The Void.  Minutes later, the Voyager crew is elated to see stars and other stellar phenomena once again.

Review:

With no cliff-hanger to resolve at its opening, Voyager gets to do something a bit different to start out its fifth season, and to me that’s a breath of fresh air.  Sometimes serialised TV can get a bit too hung up on inter-season cliff-hangers, which is invariably detrimental to any show not lucky enough to keep being renewed.  I still remember how another show from around the late 90’s/early 2000’s, Mutant X, was spoiled by ending its third season on a cliff-hanger and not getting to resolve it because no fourth season was commissioned.  For me, cliff-hangers only work if there can be absolute certainty of a new season before the idea is conceived, much less written, cast, shot, edited and broadcast. Even then, they’re not my preferred option.

 The episode is a strong opening despite the lack of stars going past the ship; we get some development on Janeway as we explore her feelings about her fateful decision of four years earlier.  Granted, it falls a little flat because that choice was forced on the character by the show’s very premise, and as such there was no genuine choice, but it’s still interesting to see.  That aside, we also get some issue exploration via the Malon, who pollute because they don’t want to be put out of business, which is very emblematic of how the world is on our real-life, present-day Earth.  How many problem could we solve if business fat-cats didn’t want to lose their excessive riches?  Throw in plenty of the action Voyager always strives for and the rare idea that you can get reaches of space devoid of anything interesting, and all in all, we get a fairly top quality episode.  Overall, I give it 9 out of 10.

Episode 2: Drone

Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):

A small team from Voyager, including Seven of Nine and the Doctor, are performing a survey of a proto-nebula via shuttlecraft. When the nebula becomes unstable, the team is transported to the ship, but a malfunction briefly merges their patterns together. The Doctor finds his mobile emitter is failing, and he is returned to sickbay while Lt. B'Elanna Torres takes the emitter to the science lab for repair. The crew is unaware that the emitter has been infected by some of Seven's Borg nanoprobes from the malfunctioning transporter, and it begins assimilating the equipment in the science lab.

 The crew soon detects a large power draw from the lab, and discover that the nanoprobes have constructed a Borg maturation chamber, rapidly growing a Borg drone whose DNA is based on a random crewmember. They determine that the components of the drone are based on the advanced 29th-century technology of the emitter; should the Borg of this century gain that technology, the entire galaxy is doomed. Captain Janeway decides to allow the drone to mature, hoping to make it understand humanity's individualism once it is born.

 The drone soon leaves the maturation chamber, and though it immediately attempts to seek out the Borg collective, Seven attempts to convince him that he is an individual. Several of the crew help the drone to integrate, purposely omitting information about the Borg collective, and soon the drone appears adapted to being an individual, requesting to be named "One".

 Through the action of his nanoprobes, One involuntarily sends a signal to the Borg collective, and a Borg ship closes in on Voyager. Seven gives One a crash course on the Borg collective, and though One is fascinated by it, Seven asserts that she considers the Voyager crew her collective. One helps the crew enhance their shields and weapons, but the battle is still a losing one. One transports to the Borg ship and overrides the controls, sending the ship into the proto-nebula where it is destroyed.

 The crew detects a life sign, and find One is still alive but in critical condition. He is rushed to sickbay, but refuses treatment, explaining that now that the Borg know of him, they will pursue Voyager endlessly to assimilate him. He assures the emotional Seven that she will adapt once he passes away.

Review:

With this episode, we get the first of another slew of Seven of Nine episodes.  According to a summary I read of this season on the Trek Wiki site Memory Alpha, there came to be some increased rumblings among the cast for the show over-using Janeway and Seven while under-using other characters.  As we go through this season, we’ll see if that holds true. For now, though, let’s consider the episode itself.  Trek wiki also suggests this episode is akin to TNG’s episode The Offspring.  While I can see one parallel in that Seven, an autism-like character, gets a child of like-mind for a short time who is tragically short-lived, I personally feel the third season episode Real Life, in which the Doctor created a family as Data created Lal, and in turn loses his daughter, is the closer to the TNG episode in question.

 That being said, I’m glad this episode came along because it gives Seven a chance to experience a bit more emotion again.  By this point, the writers have stopped trying to reign Seven in as much on that side, which is good because ex-Borg aren’t androids.  They’re from humanity and other emotive species, so we should have been getting emotion without the writer recoil from the get-go with Seven.  This is even more true when you consider the scenes in The Gift where Seven reacts to her separation from the collective.  Sadly, though, this episode does have a bit of a flaw.

 Specifically, the Borged-up science lab creates the uber-advanced drone by taking DNA from a crew member and cloning him with Borg tech mixed in.  Why, then, is the crew member in question played by one actor and the drone by another actor, and the two aren’t even remotely related?  Cloning produces a genetically identical copy of the DNA donor, so Borg tech aside, it should be the same person and thus the same actor. Instead, two actors.  As I see it, only two explanations are likely; the first is that the Borg tech is more internal on this drone and that forces major changes in appearance.  The second is that for whatever reason, there was mixed DNA sampled; perhaps the hapless officer had once had a blood transfusion and so the Borg tech got two DNA samples for the price of one.

 However, none of this is offered on-screen, which is weird.  I mean a whole ship full of scientists and explorers, all with varying levels of knowledge about cloning, and not one of them is going to ask why a clone of person x doesn’t resemble person x?  A huge oversight, and this flaw is further compounded by making the Doctor’s mobile emitter part of the drone’s brain.  The moment you hear that, you know the drone is going to bite the dust; no way are they side-lining a main cast character again just to keep a guest character around.  That takes away a lot of suspense, and on balance, I think this episode only ends up racking up 8 out of 10.

Episode 3: Extreme Risk

Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):

A probe launched by Voyager is spotted by a Malon freighter. To prevent the Malon capturing the probe, Captain Janeway sends the probe into the atmosphere of a gas giant planet; the Malon freighter chases the probe into the giant and is crushed by its atmospheric pressure. Because of the value of the resources it has collected, the Voyager crew attempts to come up with solutions to recover the probe. Lt. Tom Paris presents the designs for a specialized shuttlecraft, the Delta Flyer, that he has been designing over the past few months that would be able to withstand the gas giant's atmosphere. The rest of the crew help to finalise the schematics. Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres submits designs for the hull and propulsion systems, but seems uninterested in the project, and distant from Paris despite their ongoing romantic relationship. Even talking with Morale Officer Neelix and enjoying her favorite comfort food, banana pancakes, does not cheer her up.

 Efforts to build the Delta Flyer are boosted as it now becomes a race to recover the probe: the Malons want the probe as recompense for the loss of their freighter. As it nears completion, a structural flaw is discovered. Torres offers to test it via the holodeck, but purposely turns off the safety controls. The simulation shakes the virtual Delta Flyer and Torres is injured and knocked out from the test. While she is recovering, The Doctor diagnoses Torres with clinical depression, having discovered evidence of past injuries that have gone unreported and been poorly healed. Captain Janeway discovers that Torres has been using the holodeck without safety protocols several times of late, and takes her off duty.

 Torres' friend, First Officer Chakotay, attempts to learn more from her, taking her to the holodeck to revisit one of her programs that simulates the deaths of several of their Maquis friends, which Torres ran for a short time after learning of the Maquis being wiped out in the Alpha Quadrant. Torres explains that since she learned of this, she has been unable to feel anything, and appears unable to cope with the trauma short of putting herself in near-suicidal danger. Chakotay promises that he and the crew will help her.

 The Delta Flyer is finally completed, and Torres volunteers to join its crew, insisting that she be there to monitor the hull stability. The craft, along with its Malon counterpart, race to the probe, but the Delta Flyer arrives first and retrieves the probe. However, on their way out of the atmosphere, the craft develops a hull rupture. Torres is able to create a makeshift forcefield to contain the rupture long enough for the craft to return safely to Voyager. She is commended for her actions, and celebrates with a plate of banana pancakes, finding herself experiencing positive emotions for the first time in some time.

Review:

On the one-hand, this episode gives some good character development on B’Elanna, and some very good issue exploration around elements of self-harm, depression, grief, etc.  It’s not great, though, and two things hold it back.  The first is the episode’s introduction of the new super-shuttle the Delta Flyer and the series’ action mandate.  Both eat into episode time that, in a less action-oriented show, would have gone into really exploring what B’Elanna is doing more. In many ways, we could have done with B’Elanna’s mental health issues having the whole episode and not just whatever bits weren’t spent on Tom Paris’ “hot rod” shuttle project.

 Second, there’s the time frame.  According to the explanation this show gives, B’Elanna’s been in this state of emotional shut-down and physical self-harm since she learned of the Maquis massacre in mid-season 4 (specifically, she gets the news in episode 15 of that season).  By my count, there’s 13 episodes between that point and this one, and in between the two, we’ve seen quite a bit of B’Elanna one way or another, and during that time, she has been fairly emotive.  In the episode right before this one, B’Elanna is clearly emoting as she expresses frustration at having to download information into Borg data nodes for another new Borg among the crew.

 Given this, I find it very hard to believe B’Elanna has been going through this for months.  If that was so, surely past episodes would have shown signs of this, but they don’t.  Apparently, writer-turned-producer Brannan Braga thought that not seeing B’Elanna all the time meant we’d all just buy it.  Sorry, Braga, but I for one am not sold.  This episode needed a ramp-up to work, and none was supplied.  You’d have done better to build into it later in the season, getting the earlier episodes done with this in mind, or just having the trauma be more recent and different.  This is a classic example of the Trek insistence on episodic story-telling back-firing. This story was never going to work in a dip-in-and-out-when-you-like show.  It needed a show that took continuity seriously, Voyager didn’t, end of story.  As a result, what could have easily been a top-scoring episode is just getting 7 out of 10.

Episode 4: In The Flesh

Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):

On stardate 52136.4, Voyager encounters a space station that contains a near-complete recreation of Starfleet Headquarters on Earth. Commander Chakotay and Lt. Cmdr. Tuvok have investigated the recreation, finding that those inside appear to be Starfleet personnel, cadets, and others, such as the groundskeeper Boothby. Chakotay also meets an officer, Commander Valerie Archer, and arranges to meet her later for a date. Caught in an area they should not be in by a cadet, Chakotay and Tuvok stun him and transport him back to Voyager. When they attempt to question the cadet and take a DNA sample, he commits suicide. The Doctor discovers the "cadet" is really a genetically-altered member of Species 8472, a highly dangerous race the crew had previously encountered. Captain Janeway orders Seven of Nine to begin preparing warheads using her Borg nanoprobes, but also looks for a diplomatic solution, sending Chakotay back to the simulation to learn more.

 Chakotay keeps a date he earlier arranged with Valerie, during which she speaks candidly about the simulation, with which Chakotay attempts to play along. Valerie secretly takes a sample of his DNA and discovers that Chakotay is human. She alerts her superiors, and soon Chakotay is captured. Boothby, appearing as the highest-ranking member of Species 8472 present at the simulation, interrogates Chakotay, believing that Starfleet is preparing to invade fluidic space and attack their species. The Voyager crew arrives at the simulation to attempt to rescue Chakotay, creating a tense stalemate. Janeway and Boothby agree to enter negotiations to settle the matter peacefully.

 During these talks, the Voyager crew learn that this station is but one of several similar training grounds for Species 8472, and question if the species themselves are planning to invade Earth, while the aliens steadfastly refuse to believe that Starfleet is not preparing to attack them. Janeway, seeing the stalemate, orders her crew to stand down, which gains the trust of Valerie and Boothby. They reveal the stations are not a staging area, but only a reconnaissance mission to prepare themselves for an eventual invasion by Starfleet. Agreeing that a truce is possible, the Voyager crew trades information on the Borg nanoprobes for Species 8472's information on genetic modifications. The two sides complete their discussions, and soon Voyager resumes its journey home with less fear of the threat from Species 8472.

Review:

This is Voyager’s answer to TNG’s I, Borg episode in the worst possible way.  You take the admittedly costly but otherwise uber-menacing Species 8472, and instead of keeping them as a major threat, you neuter them by having them dress up like humans.  The whole thing ends up as a kind of farce on the myth about Soviet-made fake American towns being used to train up agents to infiltrate western society.  Throw in the fact the episode is meant to be Chakotay-centric but includes a lot of Janeway and Seven, and it’s also lending credence to the season being thought of as very over-centric on those two characters. For me, this episode only rates a 5 out of 10.

Jemand, der spricht und anderen in die Augen schaut. Und doch ist es, als sei er umgeben von verzerrenden Spiegeln, in denen, die ihm begegnen, lediglich sich selbst oder seine Umgebung sehen. Alles andere, nur nicht ihn. Wie lässt sich das erklären? Weshalb können ihn weiße Menschen nicht sehen?

Ihre Sehkraft ist nicht geschwächt, es ist nichts, was sich physiologisch begründen ließe, sondern eine innere Haltung der Betrachter, die ihn ausblendet und verschwinden lässt.

In seinem jüngsten Buch "Das Unbehagen in der Gesellschaft" verfolgt der französische Soziologe Alain Ehrenberg die Frage, wie in der postindustriellen Gesellschaft nicht etwa die Triebunterdrückung, sondern gerade die Autonomie, der Zwang ein Ich zu sein, zur Quelle des Leids werden kann. Ehrenberg untersucht, wie der selbstverständlich gewordene Diskurs über die Eigenverantwortung und die Selbstbestimmung des Individuum keineswegs nur neue Freiheiten eröffnet, sondern auch neues Leid verursacht und neue Pathologien hervorbringt.
