The “platonic” wars: sherlock/house

Sherlock and House decide to let the internet settle the debate on whose got the more “professional” relationship.

House: Lets take a vote. Whose got the more professional relationship? Me and Wilson, or you and Watson?

Sherlock: A flawed system. Most people wouldn’t recognize subtle homoerotic tension if it hit them in the face.

House: So you admit there’s tension?

Sherlock: Not in my case. I’m talking about you. Have you seen how often Wilson looks at you during meetings?

House: Thats called worry, genius. You wouldn’t know about that because John’s too busy tolerating your nonsense.

this opening ceremony is basically a mix between Eurovision and Pride with a sprinkle of Olympics thrown in there

"men will respect your boundaries more when you're a trans man."

are we doing that thing where we base everyone's experience on our own small positive sample size of experiences while ignoring the statistic of SA victims among trans men again? yeah? we doing that?

insufferable tbh

I was asked why the moral panic around Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was so centred on trans people when there’s no evidence that she’s trans. I thought I’d share my thoughts publicly.

The reason is that, in many ways, transphobia isn’t about trans people, it’s about what trans people mean to ideologies of race and gender. The controversy about the Olympic boxers is linked to rising anxieties about the line between men and women becoming increasingly blurred in contemporary society. These anxieties are fuelled by right-wing movements who see rigid divisions between men and women as critical to maintaining white social, economic, and political control. Because trans people are seen as challenging the justification of gender norms and roles based on biology and reproduction, they’re targets of particularly intense hostility and violence. My colleague Blu Buchanan and I tracked that racial logic a bit more in depth in a truthout essay a few years ago. White supremacist ideologies are heavily invested in rigid gender norms and roles because they see them as necessary to white reproduction.

The moral panic about ‘gender ideology’ is about trans people, yes, but it’s also explicitly about cis men and women not conforming to gender ideals that see men and women as fundamentally different forms of life with different roles in a society organized around the nuclear family. Women have to act and look a certain way to be considered ‘really’ women, much in the way that gay men are deprecated as ‘not real men.’ This moral panic manifests in the disproportionate targeting of racialized women and especially Black women for not conforming to white ideals of femininity. This dynamic is only amplified in the context of elite sports given the pervasive association of athletic ability with masculinity, especially in contact and strength-based sports like boxing as opposed to, say, gymnastics.

absolutely no hate to the op but using dnp as the main example of rpf gone wrong is hilarious when shipping has only ever:

made them gayer

gotten them to buy a house together

gotten them to tour the world for the third time
