gender whatever
when i see shit talking about like "girls are so good in X way" or "girls own Y topic" or "im gay for girls" or some shit, i never feel like im a part of "girls". it feels fake, like i'm just pretending, just putting on the airs and pronouns of something i'm not, claiming context i have no right to inherit
same when it's "enbies" instead, incidentally. and i don't want to be a boy. so i'm left with nothing. (no, not even "agender" feels right)
gender whatever
conversely, when someone talks about men in the abstract doing whatever kind of thing that's oppressive or appropriative or abusive, *that's* the label i respond to. i'm party to the abuses of men, my mind says; i'm guilty of the internalized prejudice that men have; is it any fucking wonder i don't ever feel valid
re: gender whatever
@typhlosion I grew up with Rampant, Poisonous misandry, and my Mom gave me a gender other than male and I still feel like an outsider.
I -Look- kinda like a cishet white male, but I know I'm not one of them the same way I'm not a Woman or a Girl.
You're only guilty of the things you've Done. I have to keep reminding myself of this. Your presentation, internal identity and how that plays in the outside world are your own. They can be whatever You've determined is the Truth.
