Really need people to understand that "identity" is literally just your thoughts. It's just what you think about something and an opinion of yourself. That's why saying "a woman is anyone who identifies as one" is a non definition because that means literally nothing. Like nothing at all. It has no tangible basis whatsoever and relies heavily on the idea that everyone subscribes to this idea of thinking or caring about gender or womanhood.

If a man ever mentions this to you, I would mention that male gay pornstars actually make a lot more money than female pornstars. The same is true for prostitution because gay male prostitutes are more rare than female ones. I'd imagine the same must be true for OnlyFans.

They (force themselves to) believe there's an element of attraction on the prostitute's side, which is their excuse as to why they wouldn't go have sex with other men for money. That she wouldn't do it unless she enjoyed it on some level. Now where have we heard that before?

Before you start patting Hunter Biden on the back for making twitter quips, let's remember that he is a john who spent hundreds of thousands of his ex-wife's money on raping prostituted women, while he was still married to her. Raping prostituted women is not a symptom of drug addiction, and isn't something that female addicts do. He made that choice himself.

TRAs will call you bioessentalist and then proceed to sincerely say that there’s a difference between male and female brains which impacts what gender stereotypes you prefer

[avobrav]

The dude at my job who says he's a woman said everyone in his family knew something was up because he liked Barbies and playing frilly dress up as a kid.

Then I've got a friend who's a woman who says she's a man, and she says her family knew something was up when as a kid she was more into wearing suits and had more fun playing pretend as male characters from action and comedy movies.

Not only are these two people being bioessentialist - they're letting MARKETERS determine the essentialist part. Men in boardrooms are deciding which of their products are for women vs men, and trans people treat those decisions as a bible for what women and men should be.

The last example on this post is a great illustration not just of a tree, but of the utter uselessness of the linguistic philosophical word games that Tumblr users like to play. You may recall the suggestion that defining "woman" or "female" is like trying to define "chair" and how that's impossible and useless because you can make the argument that a horse is a type of chair or whatever. Anybody who exists as a woman in the actual real universe knows that that's absurd, but it's often difficult to clearly demonstrate just how and why that is in terms such a pseudointellectual will accept. In this case, the OP was asking for a material description that would allow them to make a clear illustration of a dragon, and when they were provided this sort of philosophical response, they in turn responded humorously, sending up the reply by demonstrating how functionally useless it was for their stated purpose (describing a dragon to someone who has never seen a dragon). It would be nice if tumblr users could figure out that this applies similarly to describing types of human that share a broad spectrum of experiences and oppressions in common But Alas.

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.
