it may be the autistic tranny fag in me. but gender roles and the whole system of gender oppression is genuinely fascinating to me, partially because it is so complex. ive had some [in hindsight] fascinating looks into 'both sides' and how the rules and reinforcements work and differ, as well as what happens when the systems collide and people get caught in the middle.

#thebirdspeaks #this may be obvious from *gestures at Celia & Co* but like. i love thinking about it and taking it apart and seeing how it ticks #why is a tough lesbian more accepted by boys than girls? why can some girls 'beat' sexism and be treated as better than other boys?#how does the belief that girls are inherently weaker hold up when there are boys that are? how does that reinforce the whole thing further?#how does it give the illusion of a merit based system that you can ascend by getting 'stronger' even as a girl #and use it to divide those at the bottom of the ladder?#oh to not be allergic to acedemia and study gender full time #and this isnt even getting into how poverty & class affect gender
