"women can wear pants now. they can dress masc and it's fine"
body hair is seen as disgusting and wrong and sick and "too masc" on a woman still. Did we just forget that? not wearing makeup as a woman can prevent you from getting hired. this is absolutely ridiculous
I didn't think that you'd have to calmly explain to other trans people that regular misogyny still exists and is a serious problem
theyre letting me crawl out of the grave tomorrow
period fiction fans learn the difference between "historically inaccurate" and "doesn't fit my stereotype of the era" challenge
no this isn't "clearly inaccurate" costuming, the story just isn't set in victorian england
not that your idea of victorian fashion would be accurate either
no this isn't "pushing modern values into a period piece", that dialogue was a direct reference to a quote spoken the exact year when the story takes place. yeah the quote used those words too
i promise you that people criticising racism was already a thing in the 60s
on the same note
no this isn't "accuracy", this is people in vaguely vintage outfits yelling extreme versions of modern bigotry at each other. no, really, some of this stuff hadn't even been invented yet, why are characters from centuries ago acting like modern era 50s-wannabe conservatives

You know I think we kinda lost the plot when we started to allow cis people to think that including trans men when they talk about how they hate men is some super mega trans ally thing. Because now we have a bunch of people just talking about how much the hate trans men in an ‘ally way’ and we don’t have any people actually helping trans men who are suffering and people who are learning about trans man history.
Like I could care less if people include trans men when they complain about men as a class, honestly I’m chill with that. But my problem is that’s the only inclusion people do. The only time yall think about including trans men is when talking about how yall hate us.
There’s so many cis women who say “yes I hate all men, that includes trans men” who just straight up refuse to use gender neutral language in there reproductive activism to include trans people.
So maybe instead of making that post talking about how you include trans men when talking about how you hate men that thousands of people have made before, you should do more to be allies to trans people. Go read trans theory. Donate to trans charities. Donate to the many trans people croundfunding to survive on here. Do something that actually helps and supports trans people.
also like I keep getting shit on my dash that’s like “ooh what if the twist is that Gemma consented to being kidnapped so therefor she abandoned Mark!!” from the same people who are just desperate to make Helena nothing but a victim even though she can be a victim and complicit in the actions of her company?
Like these same people act like Helena has no agency but also think that Cobel had tons of agency? The 8 year old stirring ether and being sent to Lumon boarding school and college and having her brain thoroughly indoctrinated whilst also being from poverty?
Idk it’s just fascinating to see a subgroup so desperate to make the 39 year old pretty billionaire businesswoman into a perpetual victim who deserves endless grace and a happily ever after are the same people saying that Gemma probably consented to her torture so she’s a bad wife and also Cobel made her choices and is probably still evil
