It’s everywhere in female centric spaces. The fan communities are especially intense on the gender bullshit, they have to indoctrinate us young and thoroughly, often with pornography, to basically get us to forget that biology is real.

Even in my craft communities like knitting and crochet there’s gender nonsense. On Reddit a few weeks ago I read a post that was talking about how hard it was to be a “nonbinary transgender man” in this heavily “women dominated” space. It was all I could do to not tell this person perhaps the reason they’re interested in a traditionally female craft and then having such a hard time dealing with the fact that other female people around them are being happily women was because they were female. Maybe that a nonsensical, false sense of self was more likely why they were feeling isolated rather than some imagined oppression.

But you know it’s illegal to be concerned or to have disagreements. Of course the person in my story gathered bountiful praise and validation. This stuff is transparent, not transgender.

such transparent misogyny being rewarded. so sick of TIFs doing that in women's spaces.
