GENDER EXPRESSION

RANT BELOW

Why the fuck I seeing this on my pinterest feed?

Yes we hate the gender binary when it is being FORCED onto us. The gender binary is ultimately just a form of expression that has been historically intertwined with a set of expectations for your specific sex organs.

So what if some peoples way of expression is more binary than others? Why do YOU get to dictate that? We don’t hate the gender binary because its an expression form, we hate it being forced onto us.

I thought everyone experiences gender differently and all types are valid?

The enemy is not your fellow queer people who happen to feel comfortable in their gender fluidity when it aligns with more binary forms of expression, the enemy is our oppressors trying to say that the gender binary is the ONLY form of expression acceptable.

And just one more thing bc this shit got me so fucked up.

The video says “fem presenting” LITERALLY MEANING FEMININE PRESENTING. They were not specifying if they were having a “girl” day or not. What if the “fem presenting” was their “boy” day? You wouldn’t know BECAUSE YOU ARENT THEM.

And what is apart of femininity (in the context of which queer people use the term to bring up cis ideology of gender)? make up, tight clothes, ect.

Clothes ≠ Gender

I thought we were past this? Also August_Skyz (person in picture) is someone who I actively follow, they have made videos expressing through their clothing and accessories the pure fluidity of their gender expression.

Stop making these harmful assumptions and passing them off into our community

These are the types of people who don’t know transgirl from transfem.

Also mocking people’s expressions of their gender fluidity is transphobia argue with a wall.

Seriously fuck y’all.

EDIT!! i found out the pinterest account that reposted this is a terf acc!! makes alot of sense for someone who has none!

understand that letting your fellow queer people find ways to express their complex feelings of their identities is not the downfall of the queer community.

exclusionism is.

fuck exclusionary culture, when I was discovering my identity I was so violently afraid to identify as a ""bad"" or ""contradictory"" queer label that I was miserable and suppressive of my true identity. After I stopped being afraid I was finally happy. Division is what the queerphobes want from us, don't succumb to it.

i think that some people in the queer community need to learn the difference between tolerance vs. acceptance/support.

a lot of the sentiment "in support" of weird queers is really just tolerant of them. idk how many times ive seen posts like "lesboys/multigender folks/people with neopronouns/whatever might be cringe, but they're better than exclusionists! let kids be cringe!" and like. you have to see that this isn't actually supportive. it's tolerant, sure, and that's better than outright exclusion but... ok.

I don't think any of those groups are cringe. i think they're wonderful and beautiful.

i think it's awesome that transmasc folks can hold on to the label of lesbian if they like. he/him lesbians have been around for a long time. historically, some lesbians have taken testosterone, used nonbinary and masculine pronouns, preferred masculine terms... that isn't gonna stop because some people decided it's specifically cringe when transmascs do it! im mostly sapphic, and I'm fucking proud to stand with my sapphic sisters, brothers, and siblings!

multigender and genderfluid people are awesome as fuck. therians are cool as fuck. i love boygirls and fagdykes and girlfags and girlboys and genderfuckery of all kinds. don't let people treat you like a kid for wanting an identity of that kind. fuck em, you're great.

neopronouns are cool as fuck too. i keep hearing people saying that everyone who uses them is a kid, and that's sinister shit. you hear it on both sides too. exclusionists say it derisively, and people who think they're being supportive say it to defend them... but it's really, genuinely cool. people want to act like being nonbinary is only one experience, and that we have gone from there being only two genders to there now being a third gender, which is called nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. but hey, fuck that sentiment in particular. gender is a spectrum, and it makes total fucking sense for people to want to create pronouns and terms to describe their own experiences! hell yeah!

you hear a lot of "well, these people are just kids, we should give them a space to learn," or "they're not doing anything wrong i guess," but these are not genuinely supportive statements! so how's this: I fucking love all of these people, and i hope our community gets more of them. I pray for a day when they outnumber the grim, humorless exclusionists who want to gatekeep acceptance by the thousands. fuck exclusionists, pride is for everyone.

(pre-emptive note: no this post isn't for MAPs or radqueers or anyone like that, obviously, grow up. hurting and preying on defenseless people/animals is obviously not a valid identity, don't even try to compare those things.)

been going through alot today, people are cruel monsters. queer people i love you. please stop this division in our community, either stand with your community or kneel under your oppressors.
