Found these comments on a post where op was talking about being happy seeing two weird little girls (fuzzy cat ears, anime regalia, etc.) having found each other as friends and I want to talk about it.

It’s reminding me of a couple months ago when people were insisting Billie Eilish was trans because she was wearing baggier/masc clothing. Do people really not understand the harm in implying that a girl is not a girl because she’s a little weird/masc/gnc?? What’s going on here??

#because of a recent terf accusation I got I want to reiterate that this post has NOTHING TO DO with trans people having valid identities #if either of the kids end up trans then slay!#the point of this post was to demonstrate my disheartenmemt of a trend I’ve been seeing where girls who are somewhat weird/quirky/gnc are #receiving comments that imply that they are not girls because of their quirkiness/gnc #which perpetuates stereotypes that are harmful for trans women and cis women alike #feminism #feminist #libfem #radfem #libfems #radfems #discourse #intersectional feminism #liberal feminism #radical feminism #afab #male socialization #female socialization #billie eilish #respectful disagreements in convos if possible pls #also if they do end up being trans that’s cool and all but please let weird little girls be weird little girls without implying it detracts #from their girlhood
