the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

just thinking about the “something special for someone special” item from tf2 which is a $100 virtual wedding ring that many people bought just because when you send it to someone it broadcasts a message to everyone currently playing tf2

thinking about how such an item would only work in tf2 and only because valve made the very good decision of having it broadcast a message to everyone currently playing tf2 and allowing renames of both the sender and recipient as well as the item so for $100 people broadcasted shit like

[ID: a gray message box from team fortress 2 that reads “Will Smith has accepted that his mom got scared. Now he’s “movin with his auntie n uncle in Bel-Air”! Congratulations!” /end ID]

thinking about how there will never truly be something like this in gaming ever again

why is the entire conversation about trans men's oppression about how trans men are treated when nobody knows we're trans men

i appreciate the attempts a lot of game devs are making with gender neutral character creation, and i appreciate that it's actually a very difficult task to implement that depending on the game's base code. but it's so funny to me when you hear an uproar because some game has "entirely removed the gender option from character creation!!!!!" so you go to check it out and its just like

Some gay men have also described being praised by people who know that they are gay fathers, as they react with astonishment over their capacity to take well care of a child without a woman in the household. Likewise, the participants in the present study described how they were recurrently praised, simply for taking care of their children. Such praise was given in situations where they had been read as fathers, i.e., presumably passing as cisgender men. One participant described a huge difference in how he was treated by people who presumed him to be a cisgender man, compared to when he was known to be a transgender man. As soon as people knew that he was transgender, and that he was the gestational parent, he was expected to be the main caregiver, and no one would praise him for his daily duties. Thus, caretaking engagements, which is often taken for granted when performed by women, seem to be similarly expected to be performed by transgender men who are gestational parents. The gender assigned at birth and/or the role as the gestational parent seem to trump the present gender identity when it comes to others’ expectations of a person’s parenting role.
