Girlboy with a he/him pin on one sleeve and a she/her pin on the other. Two people sitting on either side of her aggressively correcting each other on his pronouns
I love this website because one time someone told my boyfriend to kill himself but used she/her pronouns and came back like two minutes later apologizing profusely for misgendering him but also reaffirming their original message that he should kill himself
I started a sideblog for a kind of cursed project that amuses me. Basically, it’s intentionally bad forced masculinization captions in the style of unintentionally bad forced feminization captions, with what I think are some very good choices of pop culture characters. Check it out if that sounds appealing to you.
im real life bisexual but anime gay. Totally indifferent towards anime girls
those things aren’t women. They’re actually so—okay I think they manage to be APPEALING rather than GENDERED? Related to this, loads of boys and young men are perfectly comfortable in a basically non-transgressive way (on VRChat) presenting themselves as anime girls, they’re bedecking themselves with “anime girl” the same way they would with fancy shoes or fancy motorcycles or fancy cars. Like, an anime girl is desirable without being or conferring gender, in a way that feminine ACCESSORIES are not. Anime girl avatar people with drip are always cishet boys or men, anime girl avatar people with actual feminine accessories boys are taught not to touch or hold are generally gay or trans. Like, a handbag has legit got more femme/female gender to it than a whole ass anime girl intrinsically has.
An important distinction is between two different ways of being a girl. The first is that of a true and proper girl. This girl has a real, true self. True girls believe in real magic. True girls don’t want the world to end. They know about science fiction and adventure and real things – like stars – that happen far away in the real world. They don’t believe in silly made-up things like fairies and spells. True girls don’t want to live in a world that’s all made up and pretend. True girls want to help people, and be friends with people, and try to do good in the world, and know the real facts about things.
There is another way of being a girl. That is the wrong way. It is like the way of the fairy. If you are the fairy, you don’t really have any self. You just live in the world of magic – the world of whimsy, of romance, and of fawning and softness. Sometimes, if you live in the world of the fairy for long, you will start to believe in fairy tales, too. When that happens, you will never be a proper girl.
