#enbies in stem

[stemgirlchic]

we are stem

to the little girl first discovering a love of science on a school trip to the planetarium

to the little boy who dreams of diving into the depths of the ocean and discovering the world at our shores

to the burnt out high schooler wishing their science classes felt more like the theorizing video essays they watch until 1am

to the premed student losing her mind over a lab report

to the grad student standing tall at his first conference

to the programmer fearing she won't be taken seriously in heels

to the biologist afraid to introduce his PI to his husband for fear of being thought of differently

to the doctor whose patients ask to touch her hair and mispronounce her name

to the chemist wheeling up to his lab station

to the artist who is an engineer who is an artist who is an engineer

to the thinkers, dreamers, worriers, gamers, watchers, theorizers, believers

all genders, all races, all religious, all nationalities, all sexualities, all personalities

stem is incomplete without us

i don’t know what it says about me as a person that a motivating factor in me wanting to pursue a PhD is that “Dr.” is a gender neutral honorific that people just accept without question

#is the silly science shitposting welcome? #look it’s not the main motivating factor #the main motivating factors are enjoying science as a field and wanting to be permanently involved in it #and wanting to do research and wanting to be an academic #and also just science is cool guys!!! #but also my non-binary self would love a gn honrofic because i hate ’mx.’ (sry not sry) #and dr sounds cool and it would be cool #and there’s something about being a queer enby person in stem that feels so cool #science #non binary #phd #enby

So today I presented some of the results from my research in my university's congress (y'all can see I was REALLY nervous lmao but it served as a training for the defense of my final thesis)

#me #my face #gay #queer #enby #lgbt #lgbts in stem #as we brazilians like to say 'TAVA TREMENDO IGUAL VARA VERDE' which roughly translates to 'i was shaking like a young tree stick' #but everything went well and i knew the answers for the questions they asked me in the end!

Me 3 years ago: yeah I'm a woman in STEM breaking stereotypes!

Me now: yeah I'm a man in the humanities breaking stereotypes!

me out loud: yeah im a radical queer descriptivist. words and labels are just tools we use to understand ourselves, man, holding them as "rules" is against the ethos of queerness.

me in my brain: i am literally the only transfem enby in the history of ever who doesn't id as a trans woman or feel comfortable with she/her, it's just a phase for every single other one, nobody understands me and I am going to Die

#this fuckin insecurity augh #one fucking jackass on twitter like four years ago said 'yeah amab enbies only exist until they can pass as girls' #and that fucking lodged itself in my brain stem in a way ive not completely been able to undo in my moments of baser emotions #every time a they/them i know changes to they/she or whatever there's a dumbass imp in my brain that starts screaming BETRAYAL #it's an asshole and i try to beat it with a shoe whenever it shows up but it's never quite gone #god im a jackass sometimes:/ #ok gonna delete this later prolly

I've been trying to think of the words to explain how even though I'm nonbinary, I still identify as "a woman in STEM" without implying the feminization of nonbinary people. And this woman's video explains it perfectly.

This story. This story is why even though I'm genderfluid nonbinary, I consider myself a "woman in STEM". Even though "woman" is not a word I identify with and causes dysphoria and major ick most days.

Because regardless of my gender identity, pronouns, and even outward appearance. I'm still identified and treated as a "woman" with all of the sexism and misogyny that it entails. And for the STEM. That's HARD. Being so in love with science and technology and every step of the way guys are putting you down.

The infantilization when you are just trying to enjoy a topic and career that you're so in love with is the worst. They'll literally rip you away from the work you love because they don't think that you can do it on your own.

My gender as a nonbinary is valid. But my experiences of sexism and misogyny as a "woman in STEM" is also valid. And my identity in this field is directly related to the sexism that I had to overcome to get where I am today. (The very sexism that my mother as a fellow woman in STEM taught me to overcome)

I FINISHED THE PROJECT

If anyone knows a real person named Atom please tell me. I love the idea of someone introducing themself and people think their name is Adam but its not because its Atom.

#that would be such a strong name for a trans man #also great for non-binary people because it goes with the typical noun name meme #a trans woman in stem would be unstoppable with that name #cis people with that name would be cool too dont get me wrong #atom #science #stem #transgender #enby #non binary #names #chosen name

I go to college in a red state. I am nonbinary (AFAB since it’s relevant to the story), but use she/her pronouns.

My engineering department decided to use he/him for me today after I won an award. I would not have minded if they used they/them. I don’t mind if regular people use he/him for me (they never do).

What I do mind is an engineering department deciding to erase the ONLY woman (adjacent) in STEM award winner. Every other person was a cis man.

I almost want to email them claiming to be a cis woman and ask them why they decided I’m a guy. Is it because I’m a stem award winner?

#since it’s a red state I’m not going to bring up being enby because it’ll just become a pronouns issue #transphobes I literally made it easy for you to NOT misgender me #little did I know it would be the sexists who misgender me! #non binary #trans #women in stem #engineering

i think i will make ema skye transmasc he/they, because i'm also a brunette transmasc definitely neurodivergent kid/adult who is rude to klavier born in the unfortunate year of 2001

#how could you tell i started apollo justice #klavier is my second favorite weirdgirl so far #also im sorry to rob everyone of a woman in stem but no fuck you theyre an enby in stem now #if ema was transmasc i would actually kin fr

I really love how you infuse folk songs into your art! It’s always cool to learn things about different cultures and if we get to see some gay squids then that’s a perfect bonus <3

Thank you! But I haven't drawn an art with desi folk songs yet. I'm working on it, tho, with the blue and yellow sapphalopods.

Drawing fanarts of these particular sapphalopods is the most fun I had in the past fifteen years because I can share some of my cultures. I wanted to express them SO badly, but I hadn't found the right encouragement until Frye came along.

If Frye weren't a sea creature of color and or desi-inspired, I wouldn't be drawing splatoon fanart this often. Once in a while, pearlina fanart, maybe occasionally the cousins (NO INCEST), despite my love of this Nintendo IP from day one.

Ngl, deep cut is also a blessing in disguise to someone who enjoys folk music a whole lot. That is the reason why I love listening to Bottom Feeders the most. Folk metal when??? Gimme gimme. Metal when??? Gimme Diss-Pair gimme.

Anyway, Frye is the complete package of what I yearn for in the media I consume as a queer/gay desi who loves this IP—a representation.

#anon #ask #splatoon #it's been 84 years #So long without a representation #Or else I would have continued drawing my webcomic Habibi's Antics #Marina is another good representation. I love her personality as well. Not a stereotype. #It is so rare seeing a soft black nerdy mechanical engineer who is gay af and reads and draws nothing but yuri manga on a big platform #I need to draw her soon #My STEM women and enbies where you at??? 👏👏👏

It science time! On a SATURDAY!

Also, a lab selfie :D

I'm picking up extra weekend hours at work (for the foreseeable future) and honestly I'm sort of excited to go in the weekends... I like doing the science but I hate dealing with a busy lab full of people. Working in the empty labs should be lovely.
