#dont conform

in order to abolish gender i think we need to accept that gender identity isn’t representative of patriarchal values and we should turn away from medicalization. we need to stop surgically altering our bodies and i think that for trans AND cis people..

cis people getting surgeries to affirm their dysmorphia or to fit beauty standards is ALSO bad and (obviously) contributes to patriarchy. but im supposed to believe surgery for dysphoria doesnt? no thanks. it is clear to me how the practice of surgery is rooted in misogyny. the victims of the practice are mostly afab or female identifying. the female body has been commodified.

You are a perfect example of what I just wrote.

Thinking for yourself is good, deciding on your own how to perceive that particular person is the healthy, mature way to form opinions.

‘You do you’ has become this shady response to people when they don’t approve, but it really is ‘YOUR opinion’. So go for it!

Obviously she has fans and those who are close personal friends find her to have some redeeming qualities, so if you want to like her, go for it.

Is that despite peer pressure from either side telling them not to, it’s two broken and lonely people autonomously choosing each other of their own free will instead of caving in to societal expectations.

Supposed to smile

And smile in times I was supposed

To cry.

I floated in places they told me

To drown

And I walked whenever they told me

To run.

I flew like a bird when they said we

Could not

And I swam like a fish while

They pushed me to stay away

From the ocean.

I loved the people they expected me

To hate

And I didn’t love the people they made

For me.

I wore ripped jeans when you told me they were

Unexpectable for me

And I learn to love dresses even

When you made fun of me for wearing those

Pretty clothes.

You taught me that I should love only sunshine

And I started to prefer the raging

Of rain.

You tried to make me everything you wanted and I only became

Everything you feared.
