Genevieve

One of my blogs is named after "the daughter I never had." She was a refugee of sorts and she threw my life under a bus to try to save her own.

Genevieve was not her real name, though she told me she used it online for a time. Possibly only briefly and many years ago.

I haven't heard from her in a long time. I don't know for sure what became of her, though my feeling is she's probably no longer alive.

I am still alive and my life has yet to recover from those events, which is part of why I don't believe she is alive anymore.

My life looks wholly unfixable and it's clear in my mind my relationship to Genevieve is a primary root cause of that fact.

Genevieve was a MtF transgender youth who was horrifically abused as a child. I helped her escape her monied, connected abusers and then Genevieve burned me to try to protect herself. 

I don't think that's what she really wanted. 

My situation is complicated by the fact that Genevieve was good at hobnobbing with rich, connected people. As far as I know, she was never really in the public eye but she knew people who were.

She met Elon Musk in person and was likely friends with him for a time. I don't really follow stories about him but, having known Genevieve, I doubt he's as transphobic as people think. 

There's probably some other story behind his falling out with his trans child and perhaps for privacy reasons they are both content to agree with the "obvious" explanation that everyone is happy to eat up.

Given that I have a form of cystic fibrosis, used to belong to some CF lists and still blog about it, odds are good that Celine Dion has heard of me. Since she's never contacted me to inquire about my alternative health approach, she has very likely dismissed me out of hand.

I've probably been dragged or quietly given the cold shoulder socially by a lot of other influential people, some because they knew Genevieve and she lied about me, some for other reasons.

Not too long ago, I read some blurb about Sam Altman's sister saying roughly that he quietly used his connections to ruin her life. Most people seem to not believe her and that's a case where you at least know he really knows her and really could have done so.

I'm not fond of Sam Altman. I don't like the man. That's perhaps a story for another time, but I can well believe he's capable of such ugliness.

Odds are poor that my story will ever be believed. I can't prove I once knew a very bright but troubled youth you've never heard of and odds are poor anyone you have heard of will ever say "Yea, verily, I knew Genevieve and Doreen is not just making stuff up whole cloth."

Me and Languages

My mother's mother came from a low level German noble family. Mom was born and mostly raised in Danzig, a very cosmopolitan freistadt (independent city state), except for the years that the family spent in the country during World War II to try to safeguard everyone as best they could. When the war ended, she found herself in the newly created communist East Germany where she was required to take Russian in school, which is why I know a few words of Russian. She left East Germany to return her sister's baby to her , so she was a young illegal immigrant in West Germany when she met my father at a party. She spoke extremely proper High German. His American accent plus the fact that he mostly learned German from farmers, meant she couldn't understand a word he spoke and she asked someone what language he was speaking. My older sister was born in Germany. Her first language was actually German and she translated for my parents while she was a toddler. So I grew up in a bilingua...

L'Histoire

I'm basically a total fucking loser. I was one of the top three students of my graduating high school class, along with my Korean best friend who was number two and some guy who was number one. I had a raftload of impressive academic credentials for a high school student from the "backwater" state of Georgia, including State Alternate for the Governor's Honors program, a residential summer enrichment program for gifted students. That means in tenth grade, only two other people in the state of Georgia outperformed me (likely both were older than me) for applying to the program in a specific subject area and had one of them failed to be able to participate, I would have taken their place. I achieved that placement after somewhat flippantly choosing some subject or other (maybe journalism) as my area of interest because unlike most of the other gifted kids in my school, I didn't have some stand-out area of strength. I was someone doing well overall and it was essen...

POV

1953 – 2025 U.S. Relations With Iran Deeply unpopular among much of the population, the shah relies on U.S. support to remain in power until his overthrow in 1979. I turned fourteen in 1979. Navarre likely turned 31 and perhaps was finally released from prison. We didn't really speak much of it, so my understanding of those events and how that impacts his life is limited. My understanding is he spent three years in prison for his political activism and got married at age 28. I'm guessing he was newly married when he got locked up for reasons I was never told. Of his release, what I know is that he learned French in prison and was about to start studying German "when they let him out." I infer that he was expecting to remain in prison and his release was a surprise, so I'm guessing the 1979 revolution is likely the explanation for his seemingly sudden and unexpected release from prison. I saw two headlines today and didn't click into the articles. One said Isra...
