I have to wonder... what kinds of entertainment do these people enjoy? TV shows and movies surely make them irrationally angry, most books are out aside from strange fantasy poo poo, I don't really watch anime so I can't comment on that. Is it just anime?

What I'm really asking is how these people even function in modern society. Are they those people you see sitting in the corner of the student center with Soul-Eater hoodies and fake fox tails and snot green hair?

also I'm glad I'm not the only human being who thinks benedict cumberbatch is ugly as sin

The television shows Supernatural, Sherlock and new Dr. Who. Anime flavor of the month. They probably like Nightmare Before Christmas but have never seen it; they liked The Labyrinth and have seen it too many times. Lol if you think they've read anything since Harry Potter ended, or more challenging than The Bell Jar.

I can get some of their squishy fascination with the Supernatural guys since they're All-American cornbread square-jawed brooding badboys with lots of emotional baggage. David Tennant and Martin Freeman are even mildly handsome and such loving quippy goofballs that teenage girls can't help it. But Bendendierch Cumebreabtch and Matt Smith are almost gruesome.

EDIT: Also wanted to point out that this is the demographic that enjoys Adventure Time and Regular Show totally sober and unironically, besides small children and KC Green.

DOUBLE EDIT: I don't want to think about the implied homoeroticism in Regular Show.

I know there was an outcry on tumblr because, you see, Khan is supposed to be Indian, while Bendycum is a posho Brit. Kind of makes sense, I guess, since trekkies are manchildren obsessed with continuity plus there's something to say about racism or whatever. This controversy, however, never got too much spin due to the fact that everyone loves Bendycum.

For all of these it's the implied homoeroticism. If you wrote in enough implied homoeroticism I bet you could make Wayne Knight and John Goodman into teen sex symbols.

It's tough, because although I dont care about Star Trek, I really do not like Benedict cumberbatch very much, so I'm fine if people want to be offended by him somehow

But Khan was originally portrayed by a guy from Fan-tasy Island, a latino, which should somehow nullify the debate, I guess?

http://miriamafloat.tumblr.com/post/100886380945/ill-tell-you-whos-cis

"A person who identifies with the gender they were assigned at birth."

I’m going to lay out a little groundwork first:

1) Gender is a hierarchy dividing the oppressive (males, i.e. men, boys) from the oppressed (females, i.e. women, girls),

2) An individual who embraces self-harm is either mentally ill and/or coping with unbearable circumstances by adapting to it,

3) An individual who is forced into a thing cannot identify with that thing as a rule, because they do not have the choice to refuse this identity.

This excludes all women from being cis, as women are given no choice concerning their position within an oppressive hierarchy.

The only individuals who can be cis are gender-compliant males. Since gender is a hierarchy, it is defined by action and behavior, not merely the symbols of dominance. A man in a dress may be gender non-conforming, but most are still gender compliant.

A male transsexual AKA transwoman may identify as a woman, they may wear a dress, they may not, they may take hormones, they may not, they may have an external penis, they may instead have an inverted penis. In considering the statistics of violence affecting women, these small behaviors of supposed gender non-conformity are all but irrelevant.

What is relevant are the behaviors which contribute directly to the subjugation of women. Threats, harassment, silencing and gaslighting the truth, sexual predation, assault, murder, rape culture, rape and rape and rape…these are the tools of the patriarchy in keeping the oppressed population - females, women, girls - from rising up.

In case you didn’t click on any of the links, I’ll just spoil the surprise - all of the perpetrators are male transsexuals. AKA transwomen. AKA men.

Gender-compliant men, who reinforce female subjugation by participating in violence against women, especially against those women who know the truth and dare to speak it.

Men who identify with the category of oppressor. Even if they claim to be oppressed in order to prevent criticism.

Transwomen are gender-compliant men.

Transwomen are cis.

"Trans women are gender-compliant, which is a term I just made up, because they do MAN things all the time like make threats (cis women never make threats) and rape people (I'm sure they do this all the time, right???) and therefore they're not trans because if you comply to a gender (by constantly raping people and never stopping) you CAN'T be trans. That's just silly. But cis women are trans, because they don't comply with anything, and also what is a 'word', really? I'm an intellectual!"

This is also why I now call myself a “hypocritical gender abolitionist.” I am a transitioning transsexual. After some deep and honest analysis of myself, it occurs that in all probability I will continue to transition and will pass/assimilate fairly successfully. In doing so, and as a male transsexual who is attracted to other males (and who has decided to eventually obtain penile inversion surgery once he can afford it) I recognize that to outward appearances, I will be a gender-conforming female. This is reifying the gender binary. This is antithetical to my stated desire of living in a world where gender does not exist, and my transition would be entirely unnecessary.

Yet, in that world, I probably would also not have sex dysphoria. I also would not experience autogynephilia. Both together are pretty lovely, and transition alleviates this.

Yeah I'm not really sure how it works that women are forced by patriarchal genetics to become women but men aren't forced, because I guess they will themselves into existence with pure MANpower, and this is somehow the viewpoint of someone who is NOT sexist

e: Also "gender literally only means privilege and that is it; therefore I guess black people are all women or something???"
