A consultation: Athena

From time to time, I will work Athena on matters of strategy, and I thought it might be useful to obtain Her input on the topic of balanced positive.

Now, this is not automatic writing - there was more of a conversation which cannot be easily presented that way, so I refer to this as a consultation. 

And the results of that consultation were:

Balanced Positive means don’t create unnecessary problems when planning an action or set of actions - don’t, for example, use savagery or brutality (on any level - it is not only physical despots who do that) as that will come back on oneself in some way (possibly years later), don’t do personally abusive things like trying to break people or exert dominance (a particular flaw in police and other paramilitary organisations) as you then both lose the best of those you are breaking/dominating and creating only hate, not respect, and don’t allow harm to occur as a result of indifference or pickiness about personal responsibility.

From this, and some other recent posts, I can see a theme that I have not focused on to date as part of Balanced Positive: 

don’t create avoidable problems

In other words, be thorough, thoughtful, and as skilful as possible when planning or considering something - when an action, an inaction, or something else. 

Perhaps that can be better expressed as: 

first, do no harm

Blessed Be

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
