I thought we all agreed this take sucked 4 years ago when NW made a whole ass contra video about how she hated enby and visibly trans people because of her internalized genderessentialism.

Now it's back, in cloaked rhetoric form!

It sucked then and it sucks now.

Cis women have been duped into infighting with our trans and GNC sisters. By policing each other’s gender expression, we’re doing men’s dirty work for them.

-bioessentialism and anti trans genderessentialism bullshit.
I said it again but it’s exactly why I have a problem with the use of “DSD” and using it to erase “intersex”
Decades of activism to separate out existences and identities to constant pathologisation and medicalisation for ending like-

One of my favourites as well. It's that weird time slot of mid-90s efforts in diversifying Hollywood and the end of the AIDS crisis. Also In & Out works as rom com, and its critique of genderessentialism is hilarious.

this isn’t a convo about the validity of masculine identities or like what antipatriarchal masculinity looks like and that was the tangent I was sorta digressing on 😅

genderessentialism is bad and unscientific.
I’m not arguing that 😅

Some of you fuckers need to learn that Trans Men are Men

Not Men with an astriek symbol or "oh you are a guy but not one of those guys we are taking about that way"

Weirdest fucking mix of trying to be progressive and genderessentialism

Racialized gender stereotypes harm Cis and Trans Black Women.

quoting a SWERF with the exact argument y'all use to claim trans men are worse than cis men just proves my point. You've turned bioessentialism into genderessentialism so you can enjoy the same cruel condescension that makes radfeminism so addicting to bitter, spiteful ppl.

Sorry for thr rant. I just hate this line of thinking. I know the people doing this aren't actively being malicious but still I can't help but get angry at it.

There was a guy I used to follow who kept going on about how gender norms and roles needed to be enforced to cater to his specific ideas of what it meant to be a man. Essentially gentrified bioessentialism. Social genderessentialism? And people seemed to agree with him?? Or he thought people did??

Jetzt bin ich mir aufgrund kryptisch kurzer Aussagen unsicher ob er Anti-Feminismus und Genderessentialism-mässig eingestellt ist oder genau das Gegenteil und das wäre für mihc schon relevant zu wissen :/
