"Sex and gender aren't the same thing" is an accurate statement. What's inaccurate is when people use that statement to infer that sex is an immutable biological fact.

Both gender and sex, while still being different things, are social constructs. And it is actually your sex that is the changeable one.

gender has been severely shrunken down into the domain of language, and I think it's been a serious mistake to prioritize language over all other facets of what gender is and can be

women can have penises and men can have vaginas, and it's great that we understand that, but we've done little in the way of challenging what these body parts mean, what types of people they're attached to, what those people's personalities are like, how dangerous or not dangerous they are, how they think and behave

we may have a little more wiggle room to label ourselves and our bodies now, but in many other ways we are right back where we started, with "amab" and "afab" swapped in for "man" and "woman." saying "women can have penises too!" is really not very progressive at all if you still think her penis makes her dangerous, if you still think it determines her personality and behavior and thoughts

[probskay]

It's a difficult and awful fucking fight, where we need language in order to combat negative ideas and describe our realities on our own terms, but the other side of the coin is people learning how to use the language we try to pioneer to describe our experiences as weapons against us. It's why AMAB and AFAB essentially became a new "man" and "woman," as liberals found a more acceptable way to say that people were trapped in their assigned sex at birth.

And when the language can't be twisted to support current power structures, it gets attacked and defanged instead. Hence why TME and TMA gets so intensely smeared as 'crafting a new binary' and 'taking agency away from people's ability to self-determine' (gee that sounds familiar, i can't fathom a group of people who's ability to self-determine is routinely and aggressively taken away from them).

Gender needs to be so much more than language, There's a qualia to it that every single person has and experiences that we just cannot describe. The vast majority of people who attempt to determine what our language means for us do not have these good intentions in mind, and their surface level exploration of the language that has been forced upon them, in turn, is used to continue to uphold their own power and how they benefit from it.

The language has the potential to challenge ideas, but for most they simply take the language in and use it to reinforce the things they already believe.

very endearing to me though that they still made the effort and had a pejorative for if you were one of the 15 people in japan who actually were xbox dickriders

bro you're literally a follower of the box. you're letting the box corrupt you. you're letting it dictate your lifestyle decisions and moral values. your kids are gonna talk about you like you were running the fucking waco compound in the name of the box.

[coyoteroadkill]

ive said this before but it was on my old blog so I'm saying it again

dehumanizing abusers is not effective at doing anything other than make people think they're ontologically incapable of violence

[ajunicetryagain]

it's also creating a class of people who you can abuse while telling yourself that you're Good and Moral and Not an Abuser.

[kyraneko]

if you dehumanize the caught abusers then the uncaught abusers will use their humanity as proof of innocence

if you dehumanize the hypothetical abusers you create incentives for false accusations as a means of dehumanization whenever dehumanization is desired for other reasons

all movies are for children because the moving image is inherently juvenile. to be entertained by it even moreso

[cadet-abysmal]

Random tumblr blog roleplays as a philosopher. Shocks the masses by using big words just to say they think theyre better than you because you watch movies. WHHAAAAT?

[cheaphalloweencostume]

thats right

[cheaphalloweencostume]

the biggest word in this post is “entertained”

there's this idea in my head, that I'm gonna blame on absorbing from Creative Livelihood kinds of attitudes across the internet, about how i need to "produce" the stuff i come up with by putting in disciplined consistent work effort constantly, all the time. and I fuckin resent that

like now that I put it into words I'm realizing that people do talk about this, there's definitely posts out there about how you don't need to share everything you make or whatever, but it's dawning on me how set into my head all the other bullshit is. art tutorials that are insisting that you Make Sure You Do This, guides on how to make sure your characters are interesting and appealing, like fuck's sake even just the insistence that people need to be drawing more pisses me off. I have a much better time writing things, but even then people are always talking about writing 10k words a day and I'm like?? why would I go out of my way to DO that. none of this shit sounds remotely enjoyable, and why in the everloving fuck would i be doing it if I wasn't enjoying myself.

i'm prying from myself the shackles of artistic expectation. I'm slapping together a dogshit manuscript of all the bullshit i'm chewing on in my brain and i'm not showing a soul unless i feel like they're gonna vibe with it as it is. It's time to stop producing art.
