ok so now that finnster's come out as genderfluid and started taking hrt can we stop trying to force people to choose labels and define their identity. everyone's always talking about support for queer people with unconventional presentations and identities but when someone's not sure about what their gender identity actually is they get criticized for it. finn said in his video that part of the reason why he took so long with coming out was because he wasn't sure what label actually applied to him (and he still isn't even sure if genderfluid feels like the right label for him) and the debate surrounding it was making him uncomfortable. which kind of sucks tbh. idk i dont like how much identity policing ive seen around them it feels like people just aren't comfortable with 'weird' gender presentation

y’all are all “abolish gender stereotypes! do whatever you want!” but the second a guy wants to present femininely it’s either “he’s appropriating trans experiences!!” or “he’s an egg!!”
trans women: he's a cool guy, but it sucks how f1nnster gets a ton of money and support, and it's because he's still cis and thats easier for people to respect than trans womanhood.
TME queers: wow you have gender nonconformity? don't you know gender can be anything? we should destroy gender anyway. you're the real bigot, actually.
Schrodinger's Trap: Presenting as an attractive woman while identifying as a man is transphobic clout-chasing that contributes to violence against real trans people unless you come out as trans later, at which point it's a valid exploration of your gender identity.
although i dont believe that there werent also some transandrophobics under the outcry against finnster, there was good reasons why he was being critizised. have you seen all the times he used the t slur? he used to be pro trump if im not wrong. also his "efforts" are only attempts of burying his past and he doesnt really deserve a redemption arc since he still plays with that sissyfication kink thing, which simply fetishizes trans women. finnster has been outwardly hateful towards a group and then profits off of it. no im sorry he gotta go! im not even a trans woman but i would be pissed off too if someone bullied me and then started copying the things i get bullied for
ok well i AM trans and genderfluid and you dont fucking speak for me. we gotta get rid of this idea that just because someone was bigoted in the past they can't change as a person and move away from those beliefs because otherwise nobody's gonna actually want to change. this is such a pessimistic way to view people and call me naive but i want to believe that people can change and not be stuck in their ways
i know i sure as hell said some shit when i was first figuring out my identity because i was in a heavily transphobic environment. that kind of stuff happens, not everyone grows up in a place that's super supportive and a lot of the time you internalize it or end up parroting nasty shit. the difference is i wasn't going through that kind of thing as a highly public streamer where people could record and repost every single thing i said and spread it around for years
also i want you to ask yourself if this sissyfication kink thing is actually problematic or if he's just comfortable with his sexuality and posting thirst traps like a whole bunch of other content creators do. would this actually be a problem if he wasn't trans. be honest
everyone always says "let men be feminine" and "let people be gender nonconforming while still being confident in their gender identity" and all that shit until they dont conform to their gender despite still being cis. "let men wear skirts" until you harass them about being transfem. "let woman have short hair" until you swear theyre actually transmasc or a lesbian. please!! leave ppl alone???
