Help with ids is appreciated

Also, sorry these flags kinda suck. I made (most of) these two years ago (Fakenonbinary was made last year), I also don’t feel like fixing them right now.

people keep saying this is a thing and i keep thinking “this is the biggest fucking strawman argument in the world”

like yeah, some dudes do this maybe but it’s fucking obvious to the rest of us what they’re doing

and meanwhile there are people who might be perceived a certain way and yet identify with “lesbian” all the same and we have to ask, what is the political effect of doing that?

what actual dynamics does that index?

because the claim here, and let’s be fucking honest about it, is that trans men identifying as lesbians is somehow “propping up” their maleness

when like, no, that’s not what lesbianism IS or means. if anything it undermines their claim to political maleness. which is a GOOD thing.

identifying with lesbianism DOES something. it’s “performative” to use the pomo jargon. people seem to want to make rules about who can and can’t do x y or z and my question is always,

what is the effect? what does it DO? what is the strategy? how does it work? if it’s reactionary and just appropriative like the claim is, then by all means oppose it. but the language is not totalizing. we live in an active and evolving social world. people can and will engage with that. 

there’s no such thing as a “male lesbian”, but the reason is not because “males” can’t identify with lesbian. it’s because “males” who seriously and politically and existentially identify as lesbians seriously undermine their claim to maleness. and they don’t do that lightly.
