the present compulsion to sort basically any woman-directed punk band into riot grrrl strikes me as regressive for the same reasons gender segregation always is. it's pretty clearly being done by people who don't understand how absolutely integral women have always been to punk rock and it's becoming corrupt into a term that means "punk rock for girls"

if you tell a trans woman she is "enforcing passing culture" by wanting to pass and expressing it i honestly hope nothing good happens in your life ever after that

Crazy that once I'm passing and starting to feel good about myself, fake allies are trying to tell me that being bricked tf out is actually the best.

This is why I'll never shut up about the part of Whipping Girl where Serano says we gotta stop calling it "passing." It pretty directly accuses us of 'hiding' or 'fooling people into thinking we're women.' We aren't "passing as women," we are women, we're being correctly gendered as women. When people deride us for "passing", they're blatantly saying that they don't think we're women. Afterall, nobody says cis women "pass as women" when they're correctly gendered as women.

i let them hit because they were honest about their intentions and created a healthy, open line of communication between us that made me feel safe and secure enough to let them see me in one of my most vulnerable states

You have to be anti-war to care about climate change, and you have to hate the USA to be anti-war.
