Pleaseee add the gnc4gnc label in

If you're referencing the definition, I have one post prepared if we do, another if we don't. I'm really concerned how the outcomes will pan out for hetgnc folk.

[viragoposting]

I kind of dislike the notion that gnc people need to be perfect in order to be advocated for. Abusive hetgnc people can exist, abusive butches, twinks and others can exist. It doesn't mean we don't experience opression.

This applies to all queer individuals. A better way to put it is to not redirect bigotry back to others and to recognize how social oppression can interact in different ways. GNC people aren't incorporated into the political framework despite tokenizational tactics used to divide solidarity.

This isn't the same as saying gnchet people can't be homophobic, they absolutely have the capacity...but it's also one of the cases where it's like, i mean, look at you, ya'know?

How did you get so smart?

Have you guys seen my typos??? Anyways it's a little bit of reading and a little bit of jotting down notes. Tumblr is kind of a shorthand form of my personal and academic works, since I don't revise as much and the length is variable.

[viragoposting]

No seriously, academics would get furious at the formating.

I haven't really been all that active because of school and course work but summers here and I hope I can be more active! I'm not all that good at having discussions when it comes to sexuality because i don't really think about mine much so it makes it hard to relate to others but I wanted to let you know that you really do take the words out of my mouth when I can't really explain certain aspects of being gnc and I thank you for that.

No problem! The point of this blog is to help you guys discover parts of yourself.

I think we sometimes undervalue the intellectual work you place in making sure gnc people have actual reasoning behind their existence.

Aww thanks! And don't forget about you! I see you trying as well.

How wide do you think the gap in differences between you and the community is?

The community is diversifying fairly fast, so it's kind of getting harder to say exactly. I will say that the greatest difference is the amount of emphasis some people place on things I say. Another is the political awareness, to identify with this label and advocate for gnc liberation, you're going to need to know a little bit of politics and gender (shouldn't be that hard in this climate unless you're one of those people who "don't believe in politics")

Uhhhh what else? Fandom participation, I think? Though I know it's tumblr, so it's a given.

Is RR still apart of the Virago identity?

It is as much as it serves an importance to hetgnc people, as always. I have a bunnch of things I want to talk about regarding it, so stay tuned!

Can we talk about the Virago desire to be taller than men? I absolutely think it's hot and I can't date anyone without it. I figured you'd be the one able to translate feelings into words.

This is because of sexism and a sprinkle of Gynarchophobia. By being taller than men, as a woman, your masculinity as it pertains to your strength cannot be challenged, that security is very attractive based in that dynamic. This is why it's common for RR or feminine virago to experience attraction this way exclusively. It's typical of society to diminish the comparable strength women have to men, this placement of a clear difference is very attractive for masculine (or dominant in some cases) women.

[viragoposting]

I miss having webcomic representation of masculine women honestly...

Well... There's always Tiger from Nerd and Jock! Look for yourself:
