Re: Shit (Young, White, Class-privileged, City-based) “Radical Queers” Say to Each Other”

I think the the “I’m trans” joke could have been clearer, because if it’s about trendiness and not the self-obsession and avoidance that I want to think that it is about, that’s a lil fucked up. But I think mewmewfoucault is on point with what the joke is most likely referencing. And yo, let’s not pretend that trans men don’t have cultural capital in queer spaces. Holy god, the radical-chicness of rejecting femininity/women is FUCKED UP and BULLSHIT and EVERYWHERE.

yeah; and i think noting that it’s both femininity and women/womanhood that get rejected / joked about / hated on is important, b/c i’ve definitely seen femme-identified and faggy trans [and cis!] guys pull this same shit, too - it’s not just dudely muscled anarchybros

I'm hoping once I'm a big kid and I look down to the ground it'll seem further away.
