your “trans sisters” view womanhood as a fun plaything and not an innate state of being

Yikes, dude.

Crossdressing and being trans are two separate things. Trans women, by definition, view their womanhood as an innate state of being. It’s kind of the whole deal. Like, you can’t feel that you were born in the wrong body if you don’t feel there’s something innate about who you are. You can be a trans woman without ever wearing womens clothes, just as I can be a cis woman while wearing suits and pants.

I, a cis woman, view womanhood (the gender construct in our society) as a fun plaything a lot of the time??? It’s the whole fun of performing femininity for a dance/event/just to dress up nicely???? There’s nothing innate about wearing dresses to being a woman. It’s part of what can actually be fun about gender??? If there are trans women who feel this way good for them????

revising your writing is just like "is this weird. is this a weird sentence. is this the weirdest most poorly-worded sentence ever written by anyone" and the sentence in question is "he walked across the room"

I feel like there’s a very clear difference in the way things are said by certain writers:

Average writers- “I want to see them suffer” = hate that bitch. Die. I wish you didn’t exist.

Whump- “I want to see them suffer” = I love them more than anything.

One very important note on the immense value of the Internet Archive that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

It crawls major newspapers like the New York Times multiple times per day.

For anything other than one of those scrolling updates breaking news pages, you can access it from the Archive usually within an hour or two of it being published. No paywall. You want international news? You got it. Opinion? That too. Recipes? It's all here. Page not yet archived? There's a button for that and now you got it.

There are various paywall-evading extensions and tricks out there, but they don't always work. This does.

Go forth and read the newspaper.

ao3 writers are either *90% of works are short oneshots* or *physically incapable of writing a oneshot, everything must be expanded upon*
