Genderstraddlers 12 years, 3 months agoI feel like lots of girls who aren’t pulling off the more traditional feminine styles that society has assigned them might be happier dressing/presenting themselves more masculinely? I know this was the case for me. I was taught to have long hair and wear skirts and I absolutely despised it, so I was subsequently pretty awkward looking as an…[Read more]

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 3 months agosomeone left this comment on my YouTube page: “I’ll bet you are a big hulking bull dagger diesel dyke. a real monster! [classist rape joke redacted]!!!!!!!!”
I’m not entirely sure why. I mean, occasionally I get wasted and troll homophobes, which gets me trolled right back, but I am almost positive that I did nothing (other than exist) to…[Read more]

Ugh I am so sorry that happened to you! What an absolutely vile comment. Of course no amount of trolling homophobes would have justified that reaction even if you had done it but unfortunately I think a lot of the time our mere existence really is enough to set these kind of people off. The point you raise about the treatment of different kinds of…[Read more]

i agree with this. i generally try to take xyz-phobic comments, be it based on race/culture/class/gender/sexuality/etc., as an indicator of what they perceive as threatening (because otherwise life would just be a bowl of slightly moldy cherries rather than just cherries. mm, cherries). and well it is irritating in a way that there is this…[Read more]

I feel like I’m not going to appear nearly as eloquent or wordy as Lucy, but anyway:
Basically every day some asshat at my school yells at me, “You look like Justin Bieber!” Of course, I respond positively. I’ve had my pictures submitted to that tumblr. I just hate that they say this in a derogative manner.

It’s virtually never a good idea to compare whether one form of oppression is worse than another, especially because–newsalert–they’re often related. The same cultural mores and stereotypes underlie homophobia, transphobia, sexism, etc., and they can all lead to hatred.
One observation I’ve made is that gender policing in Western culture does…[Read more]

Heh I can totally second you on the whole being an awkward looking adolescent thing. If I never see another photograph of myself as an early teen it’ll be too soon xD Not that I’m always sure that I’m pulling off my newer ‘look’ any better but at least I don’t always -feel- as awkward and that helps. I think that if you feel more comfortable with…[Read more]
