HOUSE OF THE DRAGON COUNTDOWN TO SEASON THREE EVENT ↳ DAY 3: SCENERY SCENERY + DRAGON(S) FOR SCALE 🐉

If you are going to be squeamish about these facts of public life then you should really be aware of how at odds that is with your “punk” “be gay do crime” aesthetics and how your fears are directly implicated in fascist policing of our bodies

we may have a little more wiggle room to label ourselves and our bodies now, but in many other ways we are right back where we started, with "amab" and "afab" swapped in for "man" and "woman." saying "women can have penises too!" is really not very progressive at all if you still think her penis makes her dangerous, if you still think it determines her personality and behavior and thoughts

and, like, yeah, ultimately there's room for arbitrarily much nuance in how people find it resonant and useful to label themselves, but binary labels are still ultimately in reference to the conventional normative gender binary and how one's own experiences are thus gendered. generalities about the people thus labeled can be meaningful and descriptive without invalidating their place in any given person's identity, and can be evaluated for how accurately they actually reflect reality. erasing all such generalities really does no more than degender the labels. equivocating gender with degendered labels really does no more than move the goalposts back and degender the concept of gender as itself a label for an unavoidably real sociocultural phenomenon. degendering the language of gender is putting a friendly coat of paint on "gender critical" attitudes which hardly even rise to the level of ideology because they are no more than the enshrinement of all of the default assumptions that worm their way in when you degender people.

We regret to inform you that the sunshine and friendship app is actually a children killing app.

If you could share this post so I can find more mutuals that would be amazing.

This episode was a dream to make and I am SO pleased that it exists and that we get to SHARE it with you.
