you all need to unpack your bioessentialism, but we also need a better theory of gender than "it's just dressup." I will pick my words carefully here, but the word "gender" itself refers to so many different phenomena that have been lumped together, and we need to un-lump them

a lot of people lately seem to be going heavy on the "performance" use of the word, ignoring (intentionally or otherwise) social classing, intrinsic gender, and subconscious sex. this seems to have led to a lot of "progressive" people treating trans women like men "amabs" who wear womanhood as a costume, and nobody understands why that's wrong because they also think gender is just a performance

see also "why can't you just be a femboy/feminine man/etc"

always remember that chell is canonically* a transgender woman

youre pissing me off

it is still genuinely so crazy to me that tumblr has special scorched earth instant kill moderation tools that are used almost exclusively against victims of harassment campaigns

in 2014 you could come on here and say “misogyny is bad and more ppl should consume media that includes women” and everyone would agree with you. nowadays you post something like “if you don’t care about women you might be a misogynist” and the reblogs are ppl saying “ummmmmm this take is actually problematic bc the only way i can escape misogyny is by pretending women don’t exist :/” we’re so cooked.

Like actually look at these animations. Whoever made these has to be VERY into this. Like, no normal person would add that little pull her stinger does that briefly lifts your body off the ground before it falls again.

You know how much I would lose my mind if I was at an aquarium and turned a corner to see a wild ass heron staring at a fish tank

I’m a trans woman and I’m biologically female
