Dedicated Gender

I wanna say from very bottom of my heart that I deeply truly rabidly despise Taylor Swift and the glamorous black hole of immorality, gracelessness and lack of integrity she represents. I truly hate that I have to witness her 2-chord mediocre stream of consciousness high school ballads win the highest accolades in music. I hate how there's not a single discourse - from sports to fucking queer theory - that's free of her. I hate her white feminism, how she's never stood for a single thing that didn't ensure her wealth. I hate how she's credited and praised for things marginalised artists did before her. I hate how she latches onto new artists so they serve HER fame, like remoras to a shark. I hate her phony humble beginnings narrative that people parrot without acknowledging she's a nepo baby. I hate what she did to olivia rodrigo and how no one talks about it. I hate the waste her concerts, lifestyle, and merch create and that a young girl died from heat illness at her concert because the swift team prioritises exclusivity and profit over safety. I hate how she and her fandom popularised the idea that critiquing a woman = misogyny. I hate how she's in her mid 30s and still writes songs like she's a teenager and that songs written by a woman in her 30s acting like a teenager are inescapable. I hate she deliberately re-releases songs and records so other artists can't chart. I hate how she regularly and openly associates with bigoted people but somehow is always given the benefit of the doubt. Most of all I hate how she does and continues to do all of this and so much more and her fans will always have a, "but!" always have an, "anyway!". she's openly and uncritically supporting a presidential candidate who's administration is enacting genocide, but because she made a joke with her cats, we're meant to be like, "yay!" I truly despise Taylor Swift and the black hole of neoliberal white feminist mediocrity she is in popular culture.

sex and gender are different in that gender is an elaborate series of superstitions that arises around the reproductive process in the context of class society, while sex is a form of pop science that arose to legitimise those superstitions

the cis guy who i think is doing gender in the funniest way is this guy on tiktok who does these insane makeup looks that turn him into different celebrities and when it’s a woman he poses shirtless and when it’s a man he puts on fake boobs and a dress

if you abandon gender hard enough you can unlock the secret state of nirvana where all clothes give you the thrill of crossdressing

thinking about anastasia trusova paintings again

Going insane at the amount of people complaining about “a woman being punched in the face”. She. She’s a boxer. They were doing boxing. The. Come on now let’s use our brains a little, sometimes women get hit in the women hitting each other sport

Yeah hi my gender identity is that winged lion that serves cunt in dungeon meshi

[ID: someone's pinned post that reads "white people figure out they're ugly and go by they them".]

It’s also like. Racist. To erase nonbinary poc.

I see a lot of ‘cis’ women say they wish they were androgynous in the way men were or they wish they were pretty in the way men were. This is your sign to go try to do that. You may find you enjoy being an androgynous woman. You may find you no longer identify as a woman. You may find you don’t like androgyny. You will not know until you try. Cut your hair if you’ve always wanted to but have been afraid to. Shop in the men’s section if you’ve been too nervous to. Wear clothing with an androgynous  silhouette. Experiment with binding, take baby steps with compression bras if you want. Wear unisex scents. Live life. Try things you want to try. A lot of cis women do not understand the joys of mens pants and mens deodorant. I think everyone should try both of those things.

Trans people don't own gender. We stole it the way Prometheus stole fire, so it would be available to everyone.

funny how predstrogen got full-nuked right as a lot of discussions about transmisogyny started getting widespread. trans women start talking about our hurt and it gets us removed from our spaces. goddamn incredible.

fuck me dude I try not to step DIRECTLY into like, active high-intensity convos on tumblr but this is getting egregious. Fuck this website, fuck staff, fuck Tumblr. Fuck alphabett or whatever the fuck piece of shit company owns this garbage fire website. Tumblr hates trans women. It doesn't even pretend not to, it just lies to your face while it beats us down.

Predstrogen was following the rules. And even if she wasn't, there's a thousand thousand porn bots breaking them worse. My girlfriend literally just showed me a bot post with tits out tagged "finn the human" with no community label. But the trans sex worker has to go. Sure. Queerest website on the internet my crusty asshole.

it does go without saying that the classic tactic used by bullies and bigots from preschool up to the senate is to just like. subtly harass and irritate and agitate their targets over and over again, in ways that are either unnoticed or uncared about or can just be denied straight up. and then when your targets get more and more frustrated and try more and more to get you to stop, when they finally reach a point where they do something just extreme enough, you get to point at them and act shocked like they just attacked you for no reason and bring the full force of your hatred down on them in "retaliation", fully "justified" in the eyes of those around you as just pushing back against someone who, clearly, was just randomly lashing out at you despite your innocence. does your mom know that you're gay? does she? does she? hey, are you bothered? are you bothered?
