Oh wow so me saying "no government documentation should ever include a gender marker for any reason" has been right all along. For exactly the reason I stated when people were giving me shit for not supporting x markers on documents.

incredibly unsurprisingly every answered ask has been about a trans woman abusing someone....where have i seen this before.......

"TMA/TME is bioessentalism!" Shouts the man who willingly misgenders himself to gain access to womens' spaces for his own benefit

"laws are largely targeting transgender women and girls. anyway, here's a trans man actively proving the point that he's not the target!"

At this point Ralsei could turn to directly face the player in Chapter 6 (who she knows to exist), stare directly into the camera, and say "I am transfeminine, I want to transition and be a girl and I want to be referred to with she/her pronouns from now on" and over half the Deltarune fanbase will just go "well maybe he's still figuring it out, I don't think we can reasonably assume he's transfem because I personally still read him as a [slur for transfems that originated as a porn category]"

it's very obvious to me that it comes from a desire to go, "oh, I'm nothing like a 4channer, all the horrible bad stuff happens somewhere else and has nothing to do with me". and then you scroll past posts talking about anti-Black racism because they made you feel uncomfortable.

"Nooooo, bro! You cant take away my emotional support misgendering of trans women! 'Dude' is totally gender neutral, dude! I promise, my guy! C'mon, man, just lemme call every single trans woman 'dude!' I promise it's gender neutral and not a very obvious way for me to misgender them with thinly veiled plausible deniability, brother!"

As a chronic gender neutral dude user, if a trans woman says it makes her uncomfortable dudette exists! Stop misgendering people cause you’re too lazy to

You shouldn't be waiting till a woman has to tell you "please don't call me that." Don't put her in the position of having to choose to either take that risk or keep silent and endure being misgendered to avoid being attacked. Just stop defaulting to calling everyone "dude." It costs you nothing. And you need to rewire your brain to stop regarding men/masculine as the default human being anyway.

Ok, sorry. I didn't think it was offensive, and by the way you responded to posts-shane-likes I assumed the issue was only using it in place of "dude" after being directly told not to use "dude." I wasn't trying to complain about having to change vocabulary so much as genuinely not knowing enough good alternatives, ESPECIALLY if dudette is off the table because yeah now that you pointed it out its pretty reductive. Do you have any better words I could use instead?

Forever baffled by the fact that Tim Burton is still thought of as a defender of oddness. He treats monsters as things to be gawked at, to be drawn and imagined, then put away in a safe little box. He doesn't love monsters, he loves freak shows.

"Tim Burton is a defender of oddness!" Tim Burton can't stand the idea of not treating fat people as carnival freak shows who are usually some flavor of cruel, disgusting, and/or just flat-out evil. He thinks he loves monsters so long as the monsters are coded as conventionally attractive skinny white people.

"But just look at his aesthe-" NO. Look at the ending of every fucking one of his movies. The odd protagonist has a return to normalcy. Every time. Every fucking time. Burton's a surbub boy and deserves his entire aesthetic being stolen by every mallgoth and new indie filmmaker that can steal a camera and write better.

a lot of bad trans politics on this website (and beyond) comes from non-women who sincerely believe that having been assigned female at birth inherently gives them a greater authority over womanhood, femaleness & feminism than trans women

just to be clear, if you think “non-binary people CAFAB understand & represent womanhood more than trans women” you believe the same thing as terfs.
