#a friend of the same gender

[heyitsspaceace]

don't let their seemingly straight-passing tension fool you, they are still very gay and dysfunctional

Gender performance is my dad deciding to grow a mustache at age 50 and keeping it for as long as I’ve known him because “dads should have mustaches”

#A+ in gender performance Dr dad 👨🏻 #text #friends will know I have absolutely said this before #but I literally haven’t stopped thinking about it since my older cousin told me that he said this #same way I still think about how my sister realised he doesn’t like onions when we were 20 #bc he kept picking all the green onions off the tofu HE made and casting them aside #and even my mom didn’t know he didn’t eat onions #and he’s right…… If I ever become a dad I too shall grow a mustache…… #btw my cousin had his baby last year and guess what is on his face rn

As someone who is genderfae (microlabel under genderfluid), I have a lot of different experiences with gender.

I just wish someone told me sooner that it won't go like "today I'm a girl" "today I'm an enby" but more like ,,, "today I am a swamp witch" "today I am a feminine victorian vampire boy" "today I am a forest goblin collecting people's stares about my gender expression like shiny rocks on the ground" "today I'm an androgynous pirate lady"

Like,,, sure, are those real genders? I don't fucking now. If a cisgender person asked me what I identify as that day, would I answer like that? No, definitely not.

But to my genderqueer, trans and genderfluid friends; do you get me? I can't be alone with this, right?

#genderfluid #genderfae #gender expression #genderqueer #transgender #nonbinary #queer #questioning my gender yet again #gender crisis #gender #my gender soup has so many flavours you don't understand #i needed to explain to my friend that when i say i want to dress like the cutest victorian inspired goth vampire prince #it's not actually a male gender #like.. you would really think it is #but that is a very nonbiney gender somehow #don't ask me how #or maybe it does count as male? #but the femininest androgynous male you can think of #like cute pretty let me giggle like a little girl kinda feminine #i don't even know if half of these things make sense #“why don't you just say girl or enby” #because moon witch dark cottagecore female isn't the same #as go out in the sun and enjoy the breeze i command a ship androgynous pirate lady female #anyways

what I was talking abt earlier. we have fully looped back around and away from feminism, societally, whereas before it was very Feminism 101 to acknowledge that many parts of existing as a woman in a misogynistic society are painful and upsetting. not that being a woman is Inherently Negative in a bubble. but that living on this earth, in the conditions we're living in, is hostile to women. and that gender is a performance. that many of the Staples Of Femininity as accepted by society are things that you have to create and perform and mold artificially and aren't inherent, that COMPLAINING about day to day difficulties of existing as a woman is something that you're allowed to do. acknowledging these basic, again, feminism 101 things, that something tied to womanhood is more time consuming or more expensive or more dangerous Because Of The Problems. does not CREATE the problems. that when women complain about having to perform femininity, they are not, in fact, oppressing themselves. the call does not come from inside the fucking house. saying that you HAVE suffered does not fucking equate that you believe you SHOULD have suffered.

like I could talk about this for hours. how braindead and one-dimensional the Takes are getting. "being a woman is looking in the mirror and going fuck yeah i'm a woman" damn. I guess any negative experiences you have by living in a misogynistic world... are your fault if you are anything but positive? "you don't actually want liberation" we've fully gone back to telling feminists "you WANT to be oppressed" when anything negative about our society is pointed out. it's not real until I say it out loud, I guess, and then I'm actually the one who caused it. if anybody expresses any unhappiness with how they're treated or the status quo or the language and culture surrounding womanhood and femininity. they've created it, right that second. they invented it just now. it wasn't a problem before somebody complained, right? also trans women aren't braindead zombies who just follow the flow of whatever cis women around them say. I am pretty fucking sure they are very much aware of pain, and are MORE than aware of the swirling torrent of misogyny and standards of femininity than anybody else. actually. and I am pretty sure someone complaining on tumblr that being a woman means always putting on a performance is going to make someone change their mind about transitioning. also "performing femininity" as a necessity to being treated well as a woman is not fucking NEWS to your Local Trans Woman. I AM PRETTY SURE SHE GETS THE CONCEPT. using trans women as a scapegoat for this braindead perspective on gender politics is spineless, meritless, and pathetic.

#how I feel about my gender is not the same as how I feel about the living conditions of my gender #when I saw that post I screenshotted here I literally sat w my mouth open for a minute #sent it to my friends and was like am I fucking crazy. is this what we're doing now #Forced Positivity and that there is no war in ba sing se and actually #you're ruining children's lives if you complain about misogyny on twitter #I don't HAVE to tell little girls about the downsides because they are already being mistreated #before they have even heard the word 'misogyny' let alone know what it means #you do not have to be fucking happy all the time about the cards you're dealt. #you don't live in a bubble where it's just you and your mirror and your pretty dress and nothing bad has ever happened to you #unfortunately bitch. we will have negative experiences that are in fact. part of the package of being a woman #and IGNORING them doesn't make them not exist. actually they will continue to remain status quo unless acknowledged #sergle.txt #I see so much rhetoric that is JUST old-fashioned gender ideals being presented with liberal language on tiktok #that is just telling women that womanhood is just being a girllll and loving pretty things and being kind and gentleeeee and nurturing #and not working and just like being wholesome and being happy and being a light in ppl's lives and just LOVING LOVING LOVING being a woman #so if for even one second. you don't love it. you are actually failing at being a woman #if you complain about the standards for shaving or putting on makeup. which used to be Baby's First Feminism online #that's actually just you creating problems. you're not supposed to acknowledge it. you're supposed to shut up and smile into the mirror.

i think i might be legit happy for the first time in my life.

i got out. i actually got out.

#and i mean unabashedly #fully wholly no ifs no buts no compromises. I'm out i have friends REAL friends like irl we hit it off so well in just a few days #we're all here cause we all love the same things i can hop on a bus and go anywhere i want in the city (ANNUAL BUS PASS FOR 25€. HELLO???) #i live on my own I'm meeting my roommate tomorrow and ik she's a sweetheart my professors are trans friendly the prices on stuff are decent #I GET TO USE MY OWN NAME. #i get gendered correctly even with long hair this is the first time in my life where i recognize myself in the mirror #this still doesn't feel real. if i think about it too hard i start to tear up #i think the local mutual aid group might even have resources to get started on hrt

Revolutionary Girl Utena is extremely avant garde and metaphoric, but it's also very clear and obvious to people who have been through cycles of abuse, particularly in ending those relationships

For example, in ep. 11, Utena's convinced that she can make Anthy "just another girl", instead of the Rose Bride, and that she has to "protect her" from other duelists who see her as an object. But she does this without actually asking her if that is what she wants. And thus falls into the same trap as the rest.

There's a lot to be written about this, from its white saviourism to its toxic masculinity. But what it most reminds me of is a friend trying to get me out of an abusive situation and yet being extremely violent in doing so. it just drove me closer to my abuser. Like Utena, she thought she was doing the right thing, but she was denying my agency. i only broke off that relationship at my own pace.

And that is a constant problem when dealing with gender violence. Well-meaning friends and family members try to "help" and completely fail by also denying the victim's experiences and desires, just like the abuser does.

Anyways, I'm glad Utena was around when I was trying to heal from it and still is to remind me of what i went through.

#rgu #revolutionary girl utena #tw gender violence #akio also peeves me out so much bc its like my abuser #but abusers are all one and the same #a friend once joked and said: el abusador que se repite #(but thats an in-joke thing based in caribbean lit)

A lot of nice liberals are just like, fundamentally apolitical.

They see their “side” as like, a club that proves they’re Nice, but they treat politics like a sports game - the stakes are just so low to them and they really think they can just shake hands with their opponents afterwards. Be friends “outside of” the game. They’ll have friends they “agree to disagree” with on like, basic human rights, sometimes for groups they’re a part of! or that their friends or relatives are a part of!!

Because they just don’t think “politics” are That Serious. Sure, some of em will get real mad about Trump, but it’s mostly because he’s not playing by the rules. Crickets when someone on “their team” does the same evil shit--crickets at BEST because they’ll also give like mealy mouthed excuses for why “their” guy Had To Do That Though. For a lot of them, now that Trump’s gone, they don’t need to think about “politics” at all anymore.

In the rise of international fascism and with human rights being stripped away at a rapid rate in so many places I hope some people like this will get a fucking wake up call that this is deadly fucking serious.

People are dying because of the “politics” that you “agree to disagree on”, that you politely shake your head at and then go home and do literally nothing about, or even make worse because you can’t stop yourself from giving money to the bigots trying to strip away human rights, can’t stop yourself from making your social circles actively hostile to marginalized people by constantly inviting bigots around, can’t stop yourself from making excuse after excuse for the violence more vulnerable people are facing.

This is why people actually doing the work talk disparagingly about liberals. Too many of you are totally fine with things being as horrifyingly bad as they were ten years ago, and are getting used to how horrifyingly bad things are now at such a rapid rate you might as well not care about that either.

Too many of you lead self centered lives where you treat oppression as basically entertainment like celebrity gossip or sports instead of something you could impact, something with horrifying consequences for people you SHOULD care about.

Things are getting worse, and only mass movements, with actual actions and planned campaigns, can save us. And if you’re a Nice Liberal who wants to actually be nice, I hope you’ll consider giving up the idea that the current system is suddenly somehow going to start keeping fascism in check, and join movements to protect vulnerable people.

#thatdiabolicalfeminist #like no I'm sorry I'm not gonna smile and nod while you explain why you HAVE to be friends with people doing evil things #why you can't from your privileged position actually do ANYTHING apart from sending $20 to planned parenthood every once in awhile #and donating to democrat election campaigns #YOU CAN'T EVEN BOYCOTT CHIK FIL A AND YOUR BEST FRIEND IS IN A SAME GENDER RELATIONSHIP #YOU CAN'T EVEN BOYCOTT HAIRY POTTER AND YOUR OTHER BEST FRIEND IS JEWISH

I'm loving the whole Tommy thing going on in the Eddie Munson TikTok Saga right now, it's so funny! In the hashtags of first post of it where Robin said she can finally talk about it, it would be interesting to learn when Steve told her and how that came in to the conversation. (I love this series so much it brings me a lot of joy)

I think that the funniest way for Robin to find out is if Steve just casually drops it in conversation like it’s common knowledge.

They’re in his car – Robin is behind the wheel and Steve is white-knuckling the arm rests while she drives around an empty parking lot. The conversation flips between ‘oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, which petal is the break again?’ and ‘I’m just saying, Vickie’s sister is a babe and she was definitely flirting with you. Maybe you should ask her out.’

Steve’s just like, ‘hey, hey, hey, the pavement ends there, are you trying to drive into a ditch?!’ and ‘Vickie’s sister plays the oboe, Robin.’

“So?”

“So, Oboe players are bad kissers. Fact.”

“That’s just a proven fact? A fact that you know personally, huh? If Steve Harrington was making out with the woodwinds than I would have heard about it. Who do you even know that plays the oboe, Steve?”

“Tommy played the oboe.”

Robin slams on the breaks, “What?”

“Katie MacIntosh – she was a junior when I was a freshie – she played the oboe. Bad kisser,” He listed off. “This one girl from Bedford at an away game. Try parking now.”

“No, what? Wait. Wait, you – Tommy played the oboe? Tommy H?”

“Yeah, in like fifth grade,” Steve shrugged, “Pull in to this spot up here.”

“….Steve, it kind of sounds like you’re implying that you think Tommy H is a bad kisser because you know from experience that he is.”

“Yeah, I do.”

“How?!”

“Because I’ve kissed him,”  Steve said, trying to get her to pull into a parking spot. She manages to park in two spots and definitely hits the parking block. “Put the car in – don’t get out the vehicle before you put the car in park!”

Robin goes through a round of twenty questions like, was it a dare? A joke? On purpose? (“How do you kiss someone on accident, Robbie?”) and finally settles on, why???? Steve’s really casual about it like, that’s just what people do. People kiss their friends.

“No, they don’t,” Robin told him. “Steve, we’re best friends and we don’t make out in your bed.”

“Yeah, that’s because you’re a lesbian.”

This leads to Robin trying to ask if Steve likes guys without asking if Steve likes guys. They talk in circles of Steve insisting that this is just something that guys do. Bros being bros. It’s like how girls have pillow fights or whatever. Robin is flabbergasted and she can’t even talk about it with anybody because then she’d be outing Steve and he’s clearly not ready to come to terms with his sexuality yet.

He's driving her home later when she asks, “….Did you and Tommy H just kiss or uh, did you do more than that?”

“Like what?”

“I don’t know, hand stuff?”

“Robin!”

“…. So, uh… is Eddie your ‘bro?’”

#I love the thought of Steve and his friends not being cool until high school #Robin and Steve are just that SpongeBob scene with Patrick and the wallet #Robin: people of the same gender kissing is gay #Steve: right #Robin: boys kissing boys is gay #Steve: absolutely #Robin: You and Tommy making out is gay #Steve: no #steve harrington #robin buckley #eddie munson tiktok saga

my gender is like meat leaf i think. boy materials in the structure of girl. like im a girl made out of boy things but not in a transman way like i like being female im just. a girl-leaning boygirl. maybe??

#u dont understand ive been insisting to all of my friends for like 6 years that im NOT a trans man #i cannot be proven wrong at this point i'll lose it #and anyways im not actually a guy #im definitely a girl just like. a type of girl that scientists haven't discovered yet #and that sounds like a joke but im soooo fucking serious #im a fucking student geneticist dude #i think theres some autosomal gene (or probably multiple) that regulate gender in convoluted ways #probably linked and i think there's probably multiple types of fem and masc genders not to mention non fem OR masc genders #codominant? incomplete dominance? is it different on different scales? #its a completely possible and furthermore plausible concept like from my perspective it'd be really weird if gender genetics weren't a thing #i think theyve already lowkey been proven to be a thing cause of that paper comparing trans brains to cis brains #& finding a link where trans men had a certain section that was the same as cis men #and that same section in trans women was the same in cis women #its an OLD study too #anyways i want to research this one day but i also dont because i dont trust humanity with that information #but if i found proof that it exists maybe it could seriously back trans people with scientific evidence #not that they should fucking NEED it testimony should be fucking good enough #ive been bio obsessed since i was born and im a natural skeptic #but when i was 11 i asked a trans person i knew like 2 fucking questions and they answered me and i was like 'yeah this makes sense' #figured anything that didnt make sense was just something i didnt understand yet #and now that im older and in college level biology and genetics classes i know i was right #it would be really really weird if trans people didnt exist did you know that? all the kinds too like nb genderfluid agender genderq demi #i dont fucking care it makes SENSE #'nonbinary' was a good term to adopt because it really just fits perfectly #nothing in biology is ever ever ever truly binary especially not a neurological and psychological phenomenon #especially not in a species with a brain so overly complex and tangled up like HOMO SAPIENS?? #are you kidding?? the fact that we even have a concept of art and music let alone have talents and passions for them is proof alone dude #that shit doesn't help us survive its a modified version of pattern recognition and uncanny valley #combine that shit with the fact that intersex people exist?? like #nonbinary gender is literally the combination of intersexuality and human neurology

shoutout to the guy in my chem class who i’m in a little study group with who i guess took the time to look at my profile on discord and figured out my pronouns (i didn’t bother announcing them to the group because i didn’t want the hassle)

my guy has only gendered me correctly, both out loud when we’re talking in office hours and in text in the study group group chat.

#i know the bar is on the floor but it just feels nice #i’m used to my friends & online mutuals gendering me correctly #but truly nothing is as nice as someone you know but aren’t close with gendering you correctly #he was like “A’s in my study group and they were saying they did the same thing as me for this problem’ #in office hours today #and y’all. the way it felt so affirming to be so casually gendered correctly by someone i don’t know SUPER well in a public-ish setting #anyways there’s the gender euphoria of the day #gender euphoria #nonbinary #enby
