Training boys to have no theory of mind for women is a core part of being socialized into patriarchy. Every time a little boy is told that girls are mysterious, another creep gets his wings
don't care how "evil" the trans woman is, if you report her to the police just understand your goal is to put her into a rape factory for as long as possible.
"starship troopers is Based because the idiot creators made it cool by accident" son or "jax digital circus needs to fucking pay for what she did to ribbit and kaufmo" daughter
was a sentence away from coming out to my friend last night while we were drunk and now my brain is just like “you should gaslight her about everything you said, deny being trans, and become emotionally unavailable forever”
this is a creator’s personal, vulnerable self-exploration piece. unfortunately it’s cartoony and colorful and quirky so it attracted a Media Content Fandom who kinda just wants a sandbox for their blorbos and cannot actually comprehend a story more complicated than bluey
it's crazy how if you're trans basically your entire life is decided by how early you get on hrt and yet there's almost zero urgency to do so outside of 4tran spaces
I think the desire to draw trans women with male features in some circles is sometimes driven by blatent transmisogyny, and in any case its effect is transmisogyny as well, but I think what’s more often behind the intent is this obsession with trying to be as “subversive” as popular.
It’s completely misguided of course, transitioning is the height of gender subversion and staying aligned to your agab is what society wants us to do, but they, sometimes correctly, see cis feminine gay men and cis butch lesbians as the most subversive cis people can get, but they incorrectly diagnose this, those things are subversive and gender non conforming because it is a deviation from agab, a gay man being feminine with a beard is not subversive because of the beard, it’s the femininity that is subversive the beard is what’s accepted.
They also view being clocked as being subversive so clocky features are what’s focused on, when being clocky is just a roll of the dice on social position and genetics. Their idea of defying gender norms is basically informed by drag race, not politics and not what power structures enforce and curtail.
And stuff like this is why I cannot stand all those tweets of "How dare Gooseworx make Jax sympathetic!!!!" Guess what chucklefucks, real life people can experience PTSD or trauma in a way that does make them lash out and hurt people....
Jax is a cautionary tale for a reason....
i'm a fake transgender i don't make music i don't pioneer cool alt fashion i'm not cool as fuck in general i don't code i don't 3d model my art sucks i'm not a scientist i'm not even that socially ostracised
never seen a more perfect metaphor for 'i realized im probably trans but im choosing not to deal with it right now and trying my hardest not to think about it'
Remembering a time in HS this essentially happened with a girlfriend bc she could tell I was struggling with my identity and sexuality and just like Jax I locked down and kinda just destroyed the relationship 💀
rewatching the finale and i can’t help but adore how well this scene encapsulates the conflicting disgust and then the guilt you feel after (not necessarily physically) pushing away an abusive parent that tries to show you affection without addressing how they have tormented you
