a lot of my disillusionment with the trans "community" comes down to the fact that too many of you take "gender is different from sex" and go "ah ok, so instead of saying women are fragile and men are strong, I should say afabs are fragile and amabs are strong. to be Inclusive"

then you just treat gender like a surface level aesthetic draped over what someone "actually" is. really is indistinguishable from terf rhetoric

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

in a feminist context, "gender" has historically referred to externally imposed categorization and the internalization and performance of said categories. in a paper I wrote on this subject, I called this sense of the word "extrinsic gender"

"intrinsic gender," on the other hand, is what I used to refer to the sense of the word "gender" that a lot of trans people are talking about when they discuss social gender dysphoria and euphoria. it's the internal sense of category that's resistant to external impositions

but then we also use the word "gender" to refer to subconscious sex, which is the term Julia Serano coins in Whipping Girl to name the phenomenon we're talking about when we talk about bodily dysphoria. it is the "gender" being "affirmed" by gender affirming healthcare like HRT and bottom surgery

so, "gender" is: a social classing system, a performance, and at least two internal phenomena as well. and I really don't know if it's doing us a service to conflate all of these things!

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"

arguing that sex and gender are different seperate characteristics is what got us "Why yes you're a woman, but you're also a male and this is for females only"

Sex as a biological binary is a social construct to fit biology into existing social beliefs of gender in an attempt to create a biological basis for sexism.

Grace having either zero privacy or complete privacy, no in between and no say in when he gets it vs Rocky having the option for privacy whenever he wants but not enough space to be able to truly make noise/“let loose” without accidentally drawing Grace’s attention. AND they both have PTSD. Living situation from hell

i know in my heart of hearts that during those four years they had at least one horrific unprocessed traumatic stress and overstimulation induced slamming doors and throwing any satisfyingly heavy blunt object that wasn't bolted down fight that led to grace being fully suited up and standing in the airlock genuinely prepared to go out and sulk on the hull of the ship before he realised What am i doing. and went back in to try to make amends + also circle back on some of the seriously concerning things they both said during that exchange.

So to you whats the difference between realistic and grounded in terms of rpgs and fictional worlds? Ive only ever hesrd them used as synonyms

grounded: serious thought is given to how the evil wizard's army is managing the logistics of feeding a dragon, even if that doesn't come up directly on the page

realistic: dragons cant fly because of the square cube law

ryan gosling visibly chewing gum in a number of phm scenes where he's almost certainly not supposed to have gum is my favourite thing to try and catch

at some point i'll rewatch and note the other more notable and inappropriate-for-the-scene moments but this one's been giffed a bunch so here, example. ryan gosling stop chewing gum for five seconds challenge (impossible)

hey, are we maybe chewing gum at the never seeing your friend again party.

hey. hey. are we chewing gum at a funeral?

#laughing at the things people notice #but he does this in the fall guy too. i think this is a goslingism not just a grace choice.#project hail mary #queue
