20 years ago this shit would have obviously been a headline in the onion. no part of this would have been remotely believable and this headline would have been inherently funny.

So like, is a trans woman who likes the smell of gasoline simply not a real trans woman now? Because only male-brained people like the smell of gasoline because Man Like Car Vroom Vroom Car Manly

The idea that gender is biological or linked to anything biological is bioessentialism. Aside from being intersexist, this idea is ALSO transphobic.

This is just "gender is what's in your pants" but with neurobiology most of you don't know jack shit about.

The brain is not sexually dimorphic to the point you could call ANY brain 'sexed', in any capacity. The structures within the brain that vary in size in relation to sex traits (insula, left amygdala, hippocampus, claustrum, pallidum, and a few others) are slight, and only loosely connected. These traits are sexually dimorphic only in a non-rigid way, such as height or facial proportions. Being tall is not seen as a strictly 'male' trait the way having a beard or testicles is. Being short is not seen as a strictly 'female' trait the same way having a uterus or breasts is.

We don't call tall cis women or short cis men intersex, why the hell would we call people with slightly uncommon neurological structures vaguely associated with sex intersex? Not to mention, we have literally no idea if these neurobiological variances are even what causes gender dysphoria.

By nature of these things being averages; There are cis people with these brain differences who are literally perfectly fine being cis and have no dysphoria. There are trans people without them with dysphoria so debilitating they don't go outside and prefer showering with the light off.

Further on dysphoria, I dislike the way it is all called "gender dysphoria", as if social dysphoria and physical dysphoria are the same thing. You can wish to change your sex traits REGARDLESS of your gender identity. Yes. Cis people can have dysphoria and can go on HRT and get surgeries because they have gender dysphoria, without ever changing their pronouns, going by a different name, or identifying as a different gender. Trans people can be comfortable with their bodies despite fully identifying as a different gender, getting a new name, pronouns, etc.

Gender is social. Not biological. The idea of "biological gender" is inherently transmedicalist.

Aside from this, co-opting intersexuality and making it about perisex people because your dad has weird double standards regarding intersex & perisex trans people is absolutely unacceptable. Fighting intersexism with more intersexism just makes you (shocker), an intersexist.

Your parents said "Only intersex people can be trans", and instead of responding with "no, that's wrong, here's why-", you went "You're right! All trans people are intersex", how on earth does agreeing with your parents' bigotry help intersex or trans people?

part of the reason i could never take being against intersex transfems who are "too female" seriously is just... people do this all the time? people insist that the multiply marginalised in their community aren't really "one of them" all the time, and i mean ALL THE TIME.

when it's intersex transfems they're not male enough or have easier transitions. when it's black transfems they're too manly and aggressive. when it's muslim transfems they're not really queer because all muslims are evil misogynists. when it's disabled transfems they're just not intelligent enough to make those decisions about their own bodies. when it's transfems from the global south they're homophobic savages and couldn't possibly know what a queer person is.

but conveniently it's the white, perisex, raised christian, abled, western trans people who NEVER have to prove that they deserve a place in the community. do you people think you're being subtle?

I’m not super fond of the way vampires turn pale no matter their skin tone so here’s a proposal:

Colder tones!!!

This was loosely based off livor mortis which is the bluish-purple discoloration of the skin of dead bodies. It’s a result of the gravitation of blood but fuck that vamps are purple now

i feel like a lot of discourse around identities could just be boiled down to “you could not pay me to care about this”
