#im not feminine at all

[rollercoasterwords]

i hate u female rage i hate u divine feminine i hate u female gaze i hate u feminine energy i hate u gender essentialism poorly repackaged as progressive or revolutionary or in any way subversive....

#drafted this post when i was annoyed a few weeks ago but now im annoyed again #infuriating 2 see all the ways people will go 'yeah there's just some essential female Essence that exists in a prediscursive state' #'femininity is its own ontological property <3 let's romanticize it <3 #like yeah wow let's reinforce the idea that Women Traits and Men Traits exist!! a win for feminism!!! #txt

Saw a post about working class butches in physical labour jobs and wanted to make my own, so: I love you butches who do childcare or early education. I love you butch nurses. I love you butch house cleaners and janitorial staff. I love you service industry butches. I love you butches who do sex work. I love you working class butches who do “feminine” jobs you are cool as hell

#butch #lgbtqia #lesbian #its me im butches doing stereotypically feminine work #when I was nannying full time I kind of thought of it as I was doing Nanny Gender #like especially bc I wore mostly dresses then for practicality reasons #which gave me The Dysphorias but yeah. my way of navigating that was to get a little fluid with it. #also even tho they don’t get perceived as such: all of these jobs are as physically demanding as many ‘physical’ jobs #like girly at least when I worked in a warehouse/delivery bay I got to sit down #look I could probably think of a better term than ‘physical labour’ but like. you know what I mean. #anyway. sometimes you have those I am uncomfortable when we are not about me moments #and then you remember that you can just go talk about your experience

can't stop thinking about cheerleaders in mcr again

the way they've been in so many of their music videos - I'm not okay, teenagers, blood - and photo shoots and represented things like the American dream and the 'popular' crowd and blind conformity and youth and a certain (male gaze-y) kind of femininity

the way you can turn on kerrang and be very likely to see a band of similar genre also using cheerleaders in their music videos but it being 70% up-skirt shots or love interests whereas mcr have never done that

the way mcr never made the cheerleaders or any female characters in their mv's a 'safe' or 'attractive' kind of weird but instead straight up weird allowing them to dance strangely and wear gas masks and be covered in blood and be rejected by getting poked in the eye or even completely ignored actively tarnishing the cheerleader persona

the way gerard way has now dressed up as one, siding with the cheerleaders after being separate from them for so long

as if the cheerleader is no longer just that but also the girl within the uniform, done being used as a symbol of the American dream and the 'popular' crowd and blind conformity and sexualised femininity unwillingly

the 'and so he gets to die a Saint but she will always be a whore' of it all

#am i making sense?? #idk i wrote this all in one go because im crazy about this rn like omg #im sure this has been said in some capacity before as well but i cant shut upppp #btw when i say male gaze-y femininity i dont mean mcr projected that onto them i mean they were aware of this existing and chose the #cheerleaders as a symbol based on that #mcr #my chemical romance #gerard way

I love soft feminine sweet girls that wear their makeup as pink as their childhood bedroom walls, I love goth girls with taxidermy collections and slept in makeup, I love girls that wear uggs and leggings everyday, I love tomboys with short hair and scraped knees, I love girls that love girls

i’m sorry as a woman im imagining what it was like for miranda to be completely shunted to the side by flint the moment they arrived in nassau, to go from being her husband and friend’s equal partner in their pursuits to some “fancy bit of puritan tail”. and of course flint says he doesn’t see her that way and of course she knows she’s not a fighter and can’t join him on the walrus but god, to be stuck in that goddamn house away from literally all the action. playing nurse to her new psuedo-husband when he comes home to her on death’s door. and for all flint’s insistence that “these men are dangerous, these men will kill you, you’re safer here while i go out and do all the dirty work”, well… in walks eleanor.

"girls support girls-" okay but are you normal about queer women? are you normal about BIWOC? are you normal about disabled women? are you normal about autistic women? are you normal about fat women? alternative women? unattractive women? are you normal about women who choose not to shave their legs and armpits and faces? are you normal about butches and tomboys and masculine women? are you normal about trans women? are you normal about trans men? are you normal about nonbinary folk and people who lie outside the gender binary or renounce gender all together? are you normal about women who absolutely despise and detest the latest trends? are you normal about weird women who unsettle you with their interests? are you normal about women who don't wear makeup, who will never wear makeup, who openly dislike makeup and the makeup industry?

#ive seen a LOT of (usually white cis het) women and girls on instagram say shit like girls support girls and then turn around and shit on #women who dont follow trends #i really hate it when a woman posts about how they dislike [insert trendy thing here] and all of a sudden shes a pick me who doesnt like #other girls #ESPECIALLY when it comes to things like makeip #*makeup #its really pissing me off #this and the rise of the 'im just a girl' 'girl math' 'girl dinner' 'girlhood is-' #SHUT UP!!!! #WOMEN HAVE MANY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES!!! #if i have to see one more 'normalize femininity' post again im going to LOSE IT #alas i need instagram because i contact people from my school on there #me posts #edit: something else ive seen is just how prevalent white feminism has become #white feminism and blatent radfem rhetoric has just started being spread EVERYWHERE #like holy shit we are regressing

Hello Ash.

I just finished She Who Became the Sun and I’m crying. Dying. Dead. Deceased. Thank you for jumpstarting the ripping out, stepping on, roasting, and eating of my heart that has just transpired.

Aside from the obvious Zhu and Ouyang, what’s your favorite character parallel in the first book?

HIII thank you THANK YOU im so happy the propaganda got you too <33 and HMM much to think about!! I will say that it's been a couple of years (I think?) since I read swbts so the details are fuzzy but one of my fave parallels are between Ouyang and Baoxiang, especially for how strong they become in hwdtw too. They are both seen as lesser and not conforming to the "male" mongol ideal, ouyang because he's a eunuch, wbx because he's not a warrior. They both go against their roles in a very explicit and performative way: ouyang by becoming a war machine and truly embodying the masculinity of a mongol warrior despite his inability to truly ever being considered one bc of his mutilation, wbx by refusing to become a warrior and acting super feminine (genuinely don't remember how much of it is genuine and how much is out of sheer spite but id say at some point the lines got blurred for him too. the guy has Problems.) Something something "femininity" being forced on someone vs being choosen and its Consequences. They hate each other. they're scheming together. they're scheming against each other. they loved Esen. they had to kill him. being gay is a curse. being gay is a game and i am winning. they fucked each other in a parallel reality. and most importantly they're twinks. this does not even begin to cover how insane their dynamic truly is.

#when in hwdtw u discover that a good 70% of wang's insanity was caused by the homophobic rage ouyang brought forth in him gkfdjkfjgkd #ANOTHER TASTY ONE IS MA AND ESEN!!! THE LOVERS THE HEART THE COMPASS THE OBJECT OF AFFECTION!! #Ma embodying the feminine ideal while Esen embodies the masculine one #they're both defined by their love and by wearing their heart on their sleeve #as a counterpart to Zhu who did Not know empathy before meeting Ma and fell in love with her for this very reason #and ouyang who is certified insane the only emotions he feels are a blood curdling scream and repressed homosexuality #I think of them as like. zhu and ouyang's external hearts. #ouyang had to kill his own to complete his destiny and it killed him too in the end #zhu succeeded bc in the Decisive Moment she listened to hers #oh also they're both thicc #welcome to my sick and twisted mind im not normal about them all in case it wasn't clear #the radiant emperor #ash replies

possibly a long-shot, but could anyone possibly point me in the direction of some resources on sewing that focus on either “mens” clothing, or more gender neutral stuff? it feels like all the beginner patterns and books i can find have skirts and dresses as their main focus, which i certainly won’t wear, and none of the women in my life tend to wear that sort of stuff either, and it feels like a waste to make a bunch of skirts for practice just for them to get chucked in the back of a wardrobe. any recommendations for online resources (youtube, blogs, etc) or physical books would be very welcome. thanks!

#me #tailoring #sewists #machine sewing #clothes making #fashion #lgbt #sewing #also i know clothing isnt gendered its all just fabric bla bla #but im transmasc and more traditionally feminine clothing just isnt my thing #even when i thought i was a cis woman i never wore skirts #transmasc #trans #transmasc fashion #nonbinary #nonbinary fashion

i think its really interesting how the ava fandom collectively decided paleo/primal is a woman or adjacent to such

#it just fascinates me because there is no reason we just all agreed on it #its not even like .. based in stereotype (IM GLAD !!) because they dont particularly fit any tropes commonly assigned to female charcaters #its crazy cus i felt it too. i subconsciously know where we got it from. but theres no discernible reason other than her vibes #my depiction of paleo is genderfluid don’t get me wrong! but they lean feminine in presentation and usually go towards fem terms and allat #fett rambles #ava
