catsi replied to your post “yknow sometimes youre like wow, yknow, we live in a society but i feel...”

i one hundred percent feel this

like why is every angle against becky about her being gnc. do they not have any other ammo? like

promos against ronda: she didnt work for her place here, shes a whiny baby when she doesnt get her way, shes green, she gets riled up so easy, shes a little weirdo promos against becky: SHES THE MAN CAN YOU BELIEVE IT

LIKE WRITE BETTER MATERIAL

ITS SO BLATANT LIKE NO ONE ON EARTH IS FALLING FOR THIS AS A HEEL TACTIC ITS JUST INSULTING A WOMAN PERFORMING FEMININITY WRONG WHICH IS SO TIIIIIIREEEEEED

and i LOVE becky and i love hearing her call herself the man and seeing her in leather jackets and braids and doing the smirky face and not performing for dudes but also, she is gnc in SUCH A RELATIVELY MINIMAL WAY...? IF THAT MAKES SENSE? she only BARELY challenges gender conformity because she stole the flair nickname, and to her credit she’s adapted and defended it ADMIRABLY and embraced being able to embody this for girls (this is another way to be a woman!) and it STILL means the world to see her, but also? as far as femininity goes, she does the MINIMUM to go “hey fuck this” and suddenly everyone’s dogpiling her and its SO transparent and SO disheartening!!!!! WHAT glass ceilings are we breaking if women only get to advance if they are The Best At Woman!!!!

gender conformity in wwe specifically is enforced SO heavily and seeing wrestlers like velveteen or the fashion police Nudge That Line without making it 100% a joke is treated so alienly, but women in wwe just DON’T have the space to be gnc almost ever, and now that becky is challenging it WITH JUST A TOE OVER THE LINE this is happening!!! the deepest insults anyone has for her aren’t rooted in how She Was Never Meant To Be Here because she’s already defended that she fought to come here from nothing, she owns that, but if there’s ANYTHING wwe hates more than poor people and brown people its The Queers 

its just like...........the audience EMBRACED becky becoming The Man so hard that her heel turn just slid back into face territory naturally, but just the NICKNAME The Man has gotten comments from lacey about going toe to toe with “a man”, its gotten rousey’s everything going on rooted in both transphobia AND lesbophobia to cover her bases, FUCK, its gotten dialogue in the story about becky’s “testosterone” levels to drive home that good good transphobia feeling, its gotten snark on twitter like, even to more. “innocuous” stuff like ricochet going along with a joke about how if becky can be the man he could be female competitor of the year (accompanied with THAT GOOD GOOD THICK TRANSMISOGYNY IN THE REPLIES TO THAT), like!!!! the SMALLEST bit going over the line of Good Femininity and its just free game and its so.......UNBELIEVABLY crushing to try and take in and deal with all at once
