"but why can’t you just be a feminine man?"
"but why can’t you just be a tomboy?"
- the same people who tell us that transitioning is conforming to society
also interesting that they never tell cis people to change their presentation (or to transition lol) to go against gender stereotypes. no, only we aren’t allowed to be ourselves, only we must "send society a message". fascinating.
also trans GNC people exist but these people aren’t ready for that
Because gender is socially constructed, by definition, if someone identifies as a gender, they are performing that gender, whether they're cis or trans or whatever.

Whaaaat? Human beings willingly participating in useful collective social fictions? Next you’re gonna tell me that jobs are made up.

If it pisses people off then its probably a step towards a genderless society anyways.

And if you don't conform, you get even more hate. There is no way to win, so don't give an inch to their demands.
