Thread: I'm seeing "women's bathroom" trending on South Korean Twitter right now. Looks like netizens are debating about whether or not trans women should be allowed to enter women's public restrooms.
Some of these tweets are advocate for trans women using these restrooms. Others are just homophobic. But I'm noticing some of the tweets against trans women entering these restrooms say that people may use this as a cover to plant #molka spy cams and make illegal porn.
Also, this conversation *looks like* it is being sparked because of a tweet from a popular trans Twitter user. I will leave out her name, but it looks like her account is set to private while other social media is disabled.

America, here's what happened with North Korea while you were asleep (thread):

1. Kim Jong Un apologized for the Sept. 22 lethal shooting of a South Korean govt. worker. He said it "shouldn't have happened" and he's "sorry to have disappointed." nknews.org/2020/09/kim-jo…
2. NKorea also gave their side of the story. A note said that North Korean soldiers burned the bloody object the victim was floating on — not the victim's body itself. They also say they fired ~10 rounds *after* the victim would not answer Qs/may have been reaching for something.
3. S. Korea released letters exchanged between Moon (Sept. 8) and Kim (Sept. 12). The letters are mostly flowery well-wishes, but Kim did say that "good things will be waiting" for the two Koreas in the future. Whatever that means.

Like any war, the Korean War — which started 70 years ago today — still lives on in people’s lives. My grandmother was traumatized by the loss of her sister & my grandfather, who came from the North, lost almost his entire family and suffered from classic PTSD. (Thread)
My mother grew up in a poor, postwar society with these traumatized parents & never got a college education. Obviously that had an affect on my generation, although I consider us very fortunate. You can read in between the lines, here.
My point: War is so horrible that it tends to somehow pass on generation after generation for decades to come. The Korean War was 70 years ago, but people who lived it are still alive. And the War— which technically isn’t over— will have an effect that will last many, many years.

It's getting hot here in Seoul. In Pyongyang, it's around 85 degrees today (29 celsius) and North Korean state media put out a photo of a kid eating some shaved ice. Mood. Image
Quoting the KCNA here: "The stalls serve shaved ice mixed with strawberry, tomato, red bean and blueberry juices, and ice cream and carbonated sweet water."
Okay, wait, does Kim Jong Un have a 'thing' for shaved ice? KCNA: Kim "stressed the need to hold a shaved ice show often in order to improve the quality of shaved ice." LOL

US friends: S. Korea had the 2nd largest #COVID19 outbreak in the world ~2 months ago. Today, they report 4 new cases, all imported from abroad. How did we get here? Govt prep, AFFORDABLE (often free) mass testing, social distancing, *invasive* tracking of infected folks.
Masks were publicly distributed, subsidized & rationed. Quarantined folks were sent elaborate govt care packages. The Korean CDC briefed the media every day. Innovative testing ideas (drive-thrus, testing phone booths) were deployed quickly. Results came back in <24 hours.
Hand sanitizer was in almost every subway station, restaurant & cafe. The govt sanitized infected spaces. Public health campaigns were everywhere. People knew getting #COVID19 wouldn’t mean a large financial loss. All of this & no widespread lockdowns or travel bans.

A testament to how trauma is nothing to make light of: Pseudo Cushing’s Disease. Basically, a person goes through something so horrible that their body changes how it releases hormones, & that person blows up like a balloon. Weight gain. Organ damage. Even stroke or heart attack.
My point: No matter how advanced medicine is, this *fairly new* condition shows how little we understand about life experience’s effect on the body. Know what you don’t know. & This should be a backdrop to everything: How we judge others, how we read the news, how we report info
Thinking about this as I ponder the low sentences for rape& violence worldwide. It’s not just that one horrible experience & the emotions that ensue, friends. It can cost people their health for life. It can rob people of their right to physically look & function how they want to
