#we're a threat to society's control of individuals through gendered norms being passed off as biological facts

[gender-euphowrya]

honestly i think the way transphobes are so attached to that "you'll never be a real ___" phrase is because the fact that sex/gender isn't some immovable unchanging fact that nothing could alter is a threat to sexism as a whole. which despite the claims of those who'd self-label as feminists, is exactly what transphobia is about upholding.

how can a society that says "men/males must be this way, women/females must be that way" have any credibility and keep functioning if it's possible to go from one side of it to another ?

the idea that cis women and cis men are almost separate species that can never resemble each other is the very foundation of sexism, so when we acknowledge that not only can the line between the two be crossed or blurred, and that there may not even be a line at all, it all crumbles down. not to mention acknowledging how billions of different human beings wouldn't realistically be classifiable in only 2 categories.

so witnessing us changing something that should, in their mind, always remain the same, and doing it so effectively that they sometimes can't tell us apart from them, that's making them seethe lmao
