Yeah, this sort of shit has gotten under my skin since identity stuff started exploding into public discourse.
If gender is a construct, why the fuck are we still using traditionally masculine and feminine actions/interests to prescribe identity? What gives anyone the right to prescribe someone else’s identity?
Is this the rare non-binary hating but trans supportive individual? I don’t get it.
Gender being a construct doesn’t mean you can’t willingly put yourself into that pre constructed idea, you can be whatever you like. It’s prescribing it to others that’s fucked up.
Regardless, nobody as angry as you has ever convinced anyone of anything, nor will anyone ever convince you of anything. I’m sure the world is harsh towards you, and I’m sorry you feel the need to match that energy.

Thank you. That was the point I was trying to make. Anyone can be whatever they want. Categorizing others is the problem, and one that feels especially wrong for me to keep seeing come from the LGBTQIA+ and ally/adjacent communities (please don’t nitpick me on terminology here, my point is that it seems to be coming from the people who I would expect to be better about this than other groups).

And this is why I call myself a gender anarchist
Because gender is not a construct you stupid TERF, gender is real and trans people are real. Get that through your thick head.
