As a cis woman who is not feminine, this nonsense is infuriating and baffling. Non binary identity is a whole nother thing and no one is forcing anyone to adopt it. There's no three line whip. Let non binary people live and realise sexism is not why trans ppl exist. - ThreadSky

What a sickeningly judgemental and condescending article that is!

Freeman sad that the poor queers aren't just allowed to be themselves?

Hadley sure doesn't understand a lot.

Like a certain boy wizard author, so much of her writing has a thick seam of sneering, judgemental, small-minded, curtain-twitching cruelty running through it. NIMBYism as an all-encompassing ethos and aesthetic.

think this sort of thing falls apart on delivery too as if you had an AFAB and femme non-binary person then someone like Hadley would obviously go "err durr, you look like a woman, you're clearly a woman", absolutely no way for nb people to win in this context

louiestowell.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yeah, true, true.

youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com•49 days ago

sorry I realise we're just furiously agreeing with each other here lol

louiestowell.bsky.social•49 days ago

Quick lets find a minor point of disagreement

I can't help but feel she is carefully avoiding the Janelle Monae in this room.

louiestowell.bsky.social•49 days ago

She does not have the range

culturalgutter.bsky.social•49 days ago

Her range does seem to be herself and her prejudices.

If only Sam Smith, a queer person who wore an inflatable suit to the Grammy’s, knew who Leigh Bowery was. 🤨

janetanderson.bsky.social•49 days ago

Absolutely. I have absolutely no idea what she is on about. As a cis woman who presents as feminine, I don’t do this for any large reason beyond my own sense of self. It’s definitely not meant to oppress others.

louiestowell.bsky.social•49 days ago

I assumed you presented as femme because you were a secret agent of the fairies, here to steal babies but, noted, assume made an ass out of me ;)

janetanderson.bsky.social•49 days ago

Well, both could be true.

I've had people ask me "why can't you just be a tomboy or a woman who doesn't like feminine things?" Which is infuriating because A) that's what I called myself until my late 20's and it never quite fit, and B) I can't explain the difference inside myself well enough to appease these people.

louiestowell.bsky.social•49 days ago

Also sidebar the tomboy thing is a whole other rant. Short hair and tree climbing does not belong to boys!

louiestowell.bsky.social•49 days ago

B is key cos bad faith bastards don't WANT to understand. Sorry you get the sharp end of their pointy nonsense.

mxlibrarian.bsky.social•49 days ago

Most of them tend to back off when I ask them how they know they are women. The ones who don't are invariably TERFs and therefore not worth wasting any time on 🤷

It must be rather embarrassing for her to have an article published which exposes her shallow understanding and superficial (at best) research.
