Feminine men doing well in traditional feminine beauty standards, then all of a sudden everyone wants to critique "the harm of beauty standards" when cis women still participate.

This community has potential to walk very thin lines with in regards to sexuality and gender. We've clashed indirectly through anons, targeted posting and mixed messaging in and out of DMs. (I will say this is not completely targeted, just serving as a PSA to those who hold certain beliefs)

As GNC people, we need healthier discussions on boundaries of identity. If uncareful, we'd stray too far from the queer activists who came before us.

It shouldn't be standard to call a trans woman a mollis and misgender her, as it is missing the point of Gender-Non-Conformity as a policital movement and education. Transness as a concept is uniquely looked down upon, abandoning all traces of your AGAB limits you in society. The same isn't said for GNC people, we are certainly privileged in that regard based off of being cisgender.

This is an account platforming experiences with Cuphobia.

I will post, reblog, answer, and comment on examples of Cuphobia when seen.

These experiences can be had anywhere. If not immediately clear, we will explain how something is Cuphobic.

This also serves as a safe space for GNC men to vent about Cuphobia.

You may send images, screenshots, videos or instances of Cuphobia. This Includes: expressed bigotry, microaggressions, misrepresentation, or exclusion of feminine men.

So what is Cuphobia?

Cuphobia is bigotry against feminine men and GNC men as a whole and their lived experiences. This includes but is not limited to:

The belief a man cannot be feminine. Targetting of feminine trans men. Stereotyping feminine men as androgynous, the belief of masculinity within all men. The homophobic belief you have to be gay to be feminine as a man. The belief feminine men face less oppression. Bilittlement of HetGNC men's oppression and experience. Derogatorily referring to a man as a ‘Twink’ A belief feminine men operate on the same gendered experience the same as masculine men. Erasure of male bisexual femininity. Fetishization and objectification of feminine men by any group.

Now, this tumblr side blog is for shedding light on the GB/Fourth Love C novel romance genre that I have found is quite popular in china and reading them along with everyone.

As a quick refresher let me explain what fourth love/GB is.

GB / Fouth Love is essentially another romance dynamic counterpart similar to Danmei/BL, Baihe/Yuri and BG/Het romance.

It is essentially adding a fourth relationship dynamic alongside the ones we already have. Hense the name fourth love. A genre with it's own conventions and tropes unique to it because of the nature of the relationship.

Fourth Love is different from BG in that even though it is a hetero relationship the gender roles and the sexual roles of the pair are completely flip.

It is not a purely sexual or kinky thing the couple is into, it is a part of there everyday lives. The female lead fits all the criteria for a typical male lead in a BG story and the male lead is the same fitting the criteria for his female counterpart in a BG story.

The Fourth love genre may not have as much attention on it as the other romance genre's but that does not mean there is little content.

How to find/read GB novels???

a) gender presentation is just as much a spectrum as gender identity

b) gender roles are social constructs, not immutable biological truths

c) "social construct" ≠ "unimportant." we are taxonomically a social species.

d) some ways of breaking a culture's gender norms are more stigmatized than others. this is worthy of note.
