In the TERF worldview, gender is socially constructed, not biologically-reduced. This is different from the typical view of gender, in which maleness and manhood, or femaleness and womanhood, are always one and the same. TERFS genuinely acknowledge “variation” in gender and/or sex, which is part of why their ideology was considered “radical” during the mid-20th century. But, even as TERFs agree with a social constructionist outlook, the TERF insists that the experience of gender—in all its diversity and variation—will never not be an adaptation to an underlying “natural fact” known as sexual dimorphism (biology in “two forms”). It’s a circular logic: humans are “socialized,” according to TERFs into rigid categories of Man and Woman, so gender isn’t natural; and yet that “socialization” is because of the dualist composition of traits in human biology according to TERFs, so gender is natural. What they have is a conservative and uncritical view of gender, but rebranded to sound progressive and conscious. This is what makes their ideology insidious: because it has inaugurated an alliance between white liberal and white right-wing movements.

my role in the friend group is to say i love u whenever someone has to leave. even if its just to go print something

[bizzybee429]

Still, there is this terrible desire to be loved.

Still, there is this horror at being left behind.

My plan for the public transit system is to make bus drivers into a sort of holyman whose role is cherished in society. Then we give them access to all the ecstasy they want and they're expected to take it on the job.

im reading about cowboy phrases and sayings and like 95% of them are just solid life advice

[bizzybee429]

not my toddler gaslighting me by insisting she can make her own lunch, and then using weaponized incompetence + white woman tears to manipulate me into doing everything for her when she "changed her mind". i work full time as a SAHP and can NOT handle this mental workload, we as a society need to have an open and honest discussion about lunch's role in the fathers' mental health crisis.
