Have you perhaps considered the possibility that you’re on other people’s business and you’re not exactly entering the conversation from a caring position 💀

@idkijustthibk I *do not understand* how these guides get passed around with no reflection on how their advice boils down to “stop acting like a bitch and you’ll stop being treated like one.“ They’ve parroting the gender ideology of a high school football coach and see 0 problems with that??

@Passbash @idkijustthibk “Passing” is a safety tool that speaks to how the world IS, not how it SHOULD BE. Deconstructing gender is an activist stance. While they can exist alongside each other, they serve different purposes. One is short term, the other long term.

@pauseforthot @Passbash @idkijustthibk Yes queen feed the patriarchy

@Th3wrrd3n @Passbash @idkijustthibk Oh shut up and live in the real world. As a transsexual in a southern state, passing provides me a livelihood and safety amongst my community. It gives me time and space to work towards material goals for the trans people I exist alongside and will come after.

@pauseforthot @Passbash @idkijustthibk passing in of itself isnt a problem. and i never said other wise. On the other hand. encouraging patriarchal passing standards IS a problem. and YOU are indeed doing that.

@Th3wrrd3n @Passbash @idkijustthibk I am saying that passing is a tactic to increase people’s safety, and that passing is in fact understanding patriarchal gender coding and choosing to engage with it. I think you are misconstruing my very clear words.

@pauseforthot @Th3wrrd3n @idkijustthibk The “safety” of passing is dependent on the enforcement of “gender coding” onto those who do not “choose to engage with it” You pass by conforming and you conform by enforcing gender norms onto those who do not conform.

@pauseforthot @Passbash @idkijustthibk so are you.
