Tonight after spending a bit of time on Ovarit, I logged off and attempted to distract myself from the gender wars. I logged into Facebook, first thing I see is yet ANOTHER lesbian acquaintance has ‘nonbinaried’ herself. Masculinised her name, changed her Prounouns on Facebook to ‘they / them’ and has uploaded the required photo of her with short hair and a button-down shirt as proof of her non-femaleness. The comments underneath the post are blowing up with mutual friends falling over themselves to praise her for her bravery. (Obviously don’t care at all about her presenting butch, just the regressive idea that this means she isn’t a woman). Then I log off Facebook, log onto a dating app I am using and am met with several profiles in a row that are lesbian women declaring their ‘nonbinary’ status. As I’m checking the app, get an email from a local gay book club about trans authors to honour lesbian visibility week.
It never ends. Sometimes I think maybe I’m just too finely attuned to stuff happening online, which doesn’t have much bearing on real life. But the thing is, online is real life. It affects real lives and influences culture and society. I have never felt more lonely as a lesbian and more cut off from real community as I do now. I just want to focus on women and celebrate same sex attraction. In this current climate it seems basically impossible
They cope by not recognising they are feeling dissonance, only discomfort; and projecting on to their enemies.
Logic? Consistency? Connection to reality? You're asking too much of these people.
Looool, this was funny.
They are men. They don't have to prove anything. They say the words, and it becomes truth. That's how you know they are men.
They don't have to, because they're fucking stupid. They don't think about the contradiction at all.
They insist that taking estrogen will make them female on a cellular level, and magically remove those billions of XY chromosomes in those billions of somatic cells. They've seen too many shows like The Incredible Hulk where people are shapeshifting after they get mad or drink some potion.
It's magical thinking and a fundamental refusal to understand that male and female are two separate developmental pathways, starting at the moment of conception, that cannot be reversed. Total dishonest thinking because they have no rational or scientific arguments in their favor. They want to enforce rigid gender roles by forced sex changes. That's homophobic. That's what they do in totalitarian Muslim countries.
Mammals cannot change sex and gender is bullshit.
