/lgbt/ - LGBT

Has anyone else noticed when some people call for the abolition of gender (which is a position I sympathise with even though it is ultra-leftist to expect society to do away with it right now) just seem to be asking for all femininity to be erased? Like when people, and I'm assuming its mostly men trans or cis, say that we need to stop having gender, they also say long hair and pretty clothes need to be banned, and everyone should just be strong and masculine. It feels not many people are expecting gender abolition to cause everyone to become feminine. Idk its interesting hearing about this. I'm reminded of the anime Simoune where the baddies are all transmasc industrialists (I did support them when I watched it because they were historically progressive industrialists). That's basically a vision of gender abolition actually being women abolition. When you talk to lots of people you will hear this. Just ask King Lear what he thinks.

"erm hrt should be prescribed through the proper channels"-girls when they realize that trans girls in the year 2240 BC didn't get a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria before drinking the horse piss

Queer culture is very casual and instinctive—"vibes-based", if you will—, which makes it near-impossible for those of us who are socially disabled to actually navigate its intricacies.
Every time I attend any sort of gay event, I basically just end up walking around and watching other people do things because I'm too stiff and weird to be a cool gay guy.
Despite the memes about queer people being autistic, all rhe other autists I meet IRL are all straight. And though they can be nice, I perceive the world through such a fundamentally homosexual lense that I can't possibly be close with them.
I don't know what to do. Forget a boyfriend, I just want gay friends.

i’ve been lurking /a/ and /lgbt/ for years and something kept popping up that no one wants to really admit. tons of guys who are deep into anime, especially the cute girl slice-of-life stuff, end up transitioning or calling themselves trans. not like one or two. i’m talking a full-on trend. they start posting with anime girl pfps, joke about being “eggs,” start asking about HRT, and boom. next thing you know they’re full-time she/her on estrogen. people just act like this is a normal pipeline and don’t stop to ask why it keeps happening

being a guy in our world is kind of trash for a lot of us. you’re expected to be emotionally dead, aggressive, dominant. no crying, no softness, no comfort unless it’s a joke or porn. masculinity is cold. and anime is the total opposite. it gives you girls who are warm, emotionally open, affectionate, kind. it hits you somewhere deep. i wrote it like this, “the femininity of anime girls is expressive, soft, emotionally intelligent and affectively warm. it is everything that masculinity is not” and that contrast feels like a lifeline if you’ve grown up feeling numb and isolated

characters like Rui from Gatchaman Crowds hit different. he’s a guy but dresses femme, looks better than any girl you know, and still commands respect in the story. not treated like a freak, just exists. i said, “Rui is gender-non-conforming and not punished for it” and that’s huge. when you’re used to being told to man up or shut up, seeing someone like Rui makes you think maybe there’s a way out. and slowly, you start to feel more like him than the angry gym bros you’re supposed to relate to. you start to post anime girls not just because they’re cute but because they feel like you

this is where it gets uncomfortable for people. autogynephilia. the idea that some dudes start getting turned on or emotionally hyped by imagining themselves as girls. and yeah, it’s real. i said, “I think anime girls function as a kind of metaphor for the concept of femininity itself, and the idea of femininity becomes eroticized through repetition” and that’s the key. the more you stare at these idealized girls, the more you start to want to be that. not just to look like them but to feel the way they feel. over time, your brain starts rewiring. “When you are constantly looking at anime girls and thinking about them and using them as your identity, you are literally conditioning yourself.” it’s not just fetish, it’s identity forming through exPost too long.

Given how Orban's ban of Pride ironically turned Pride back into a symbol of resistance and increased it's attendance, have any of you Hungarian and EU comrades participated in the march?

Is gender identity inherently subversive of leftist ideals?
Is it neoliberal in practice?

Any and all resources appreciated

Maybe misandrist gay anon has a point but I would extend his hatred to entire human species itself

Thought there would be some interest for a chasergen thread on here instead of 4chan.

<no u dont get it the kinksters were just outside of the frame

What kind of outfits are you thinking of making? I liked the skirt + dotted shirt fit Maelle can unlock in Expedition 33 so I'm thinking of recreating it. I know I look pretty good already in that kind of clothing since I've been going with black skirt + sky blue blouse recently. It's just about finding the clothes for cheap.

Apart from that I kind of need some help in doing a sufferagette themed fit. I was thinking we need to reclaim the sufferagette colours that are being taken over by TERFs. But IDK how I would pull it off. Purple skirt, white top and green scarf maybe? Or should I go with purple / green trousers?

The thing is I'm not good with complicated outfits, idk what all the technical terms for everything is. I think I could pull off victorian pilled clothing but idk.
