#trans people defy it with fluidity and hybridity

[butchmartyr]

dude twitter is dire as fuck with the way half the response to this is bizarre transmasc rage. like a trans woman will say "cisnormativity says you have to stay as you are and tries so hard to ingrain this in all of us through gender, but our existence spits in this assumption; the brainwashing doesnt work and you prove it since you're not a woman as they want, if at all! there is no absolute authority in gendered socialization!"

and trans men and mascs who will never work on their misogyny crawl out of the woodwork to desperately try and misinterpret this in any possible way so they can feel insulted. why the fuck do so many people cling to this idea that they're indistinguishable from cis women?? why do you WANT to act like theres some inescapably female core of yourself when youre nb or whatever else? what the fuck, man?

#she made a similar tweet about trans women that has not met this same fury. aside from people angry abt us dodging accountability. lol #throw the whole website away. #kvetching #genderposting #anyway this isn’t to say that there aren’t any ‘effects’ of people’s upbringing #just that the broader concept of ‘female’ or ‘male’ socialization doesn’t work at the system that made it wants it to #trans people defy it with fluidity and hybridity
