  1. CW: CW: transphobia, enbyphobia, gatekeeping, profanity

    Oh, for FUCK'S sake.

    Aren't TERFs enough? Did we really need to unlock the bonus level where trans people start doing gender-policing against other trans people?

    Apparently, yes.

    Because now I've encountered the "only people who transition properly are properly trans, and non-binary people are basically cis people who bought a suspiciously cheap ticket on the Trans Train" crowd.

    I -
    WHAT?

    My dears. My beloved little gatekeepers. Have you perhaps considered that the entire fucking problem is your desperate need to put everyone into neat little gender boxes?
    "You're not trans enough." "You didn't transition correctly." "You don't pass." "You're too feminine." "You're too masculine." "You're non-binary, so obviously you're just cis."
    Congratulations. You have reinvented traditional gender policing, but with pronouns and a progress flag stapled to it.

    Trans people, including enbies, do not owe you medical transition, social transition, passing, dysphoria performed to your satisfaction, or a sufficiently convincing audition for the role of Man™️ or Woman™️.

    And while we're here: cis people don't owe you traditional gender conformity either.

    The whole point is supposed to be that people get to be themselves.

    Honestly, anyone carrying around a little set of stereotype-shaped boxes and desperately trying to shove other human beings into them makes me nervous.

    PUT THE BOXES DOWN, KAREN. STEP AWAY FROM THE GENDER BINARY. NOBODY NEEDS TO GET HURT.

    Someone please send me to bed immediately before I bite somebody's ideology. You may have to use force...

    And by Wil Wheaton's sacred beard, if these people make me say "fucking" one more time, someone will have to wash my mouth out with industrial-grade soap and their trusty old pressure cleaner.

    I am tired. I am cranky. I am one stupid discourse thread away from becoming a woodland cryptid who only emerges from their cave to yell "LET PEOPLE EXIST" at the moon.

  2. Qu'est-ce que j'entends par parapluie ☂️ ?

    Cela désigne le fait que le terme "transgenre" est un terme générique englobant tous les autres genres dès lors que ce n'est pas cis.

    Tout simplement.

    Comme je l'ai dit il peut y avoir des désaccords et je suis d'accord pour en discuter/débattre dans le respect et en dehors de tout #gatekeeping (c'est simple, je mute voire bloque).

    Personnellement, je suis trans #xénogenre (je ferai un jour un post dessus pour expliquer ce que c'est et comment je le vis - même si les moteurs de recherche sont vos amis), #agenre, #bigenre et #genderfluid. 2/4

  3. Every time I see a toot from @shanselman I remember that time a person was extolling the virtues of using a specific editor - Scott very succinctly says use whatever you want and like to use, no wrong answers - then tells the person they have great hair and they should really enjoy that 😂😂
