as a cishet dude I also had the privilege to not worry about it that much. toxic masculinity can suck but if your family doesn’t get weird about it you can just live without your gender really occupying much of your brain. I learned what I learned way later in life because it became an issue politically.
But in my personal life irl and online I have the privilege to afford to not care if I’m misgendered. weird thinking about how easily I could’ve been a wreck if I felt I was in the wrong body though.
you might get comments and whatnot but people get bullied for all kinds of things anyway. this is why I’m ultimately a gender abolitionist I guess, people gendering everything (toys, activities, clothes) never made sense to me.
I think the whole concept is pointless ultimately, but of course as long as we live in a gendered society I believe in people’s right to be and express theirs however they like. trans rights are human rights.
Many trans people are gender abolitionists. The best way to abolish gender is to not adhere by the rules. All trans people break the rule that gender is decided at birth. Trans people fight for the freedom of choosing their own body, their own expression and their own sexuality. I my opinion that is the most gender abolitionist stance one could have.
