Thinking about How I Beat Brainworms: Honestly seeing cis people get misgendered was kind of a humbling experience for me. Not as a “take em down a peg” thing, but it helped build toward the conclusion that “gender is a fuckin stupid construction”, like there are people who’re literally assigned female and still get mistaken for a guy. Conversely before my ex’s egg cracked people thought she was a girl sometimes. It is kinda nice to know cis people have to deal with this shit now and then, but it’s nicer to know that mistaking somebody’s gender just happens regardless of their gender sometimes…
Also I really do need that orbital cannon that fires copies of Gender Outlaw.
Unfortunately, without a decent framework to pair with such experiences, people can end up with just different brainworms (like TERF type stuff).
Everyone needs to read gender theory
Theory sounds like its for nerds. Maybe I’ll get around to it eventually.
I kinda regret reading that struggle sesh
It’s fine but yeah, seeing the brainworms writhing kinda hurts
You are right though, like literally a few years ago when I was working retail and I wasn’t thinking about gender all that much
and all I did differently was grow out my hair people would “”“mistake”“”(??) me for a woman all the time
Sometimes they would “”“correct”“”(??) themselves after they got a closer look at me and that was kinda funny lol
Had to cut it for nearly pointless reason but I am growing it out again now
I’ve never heard of this book but I will look it up
Edit:
Idk, I don’t want anyone to feel bad cuz of this, I know there are people who have it [“”]harder[“”] and idk why just changing my hair caused that to happen idk idk :(
I hate it
