- Reposted by Slimer!Trans people having vested interests in our own welfare is even used as an excuse to exclude us from decision making such as the exclusion of trans oversight in the Cass Review "to prevent bias", making it clear that not harming us is seen as a crazy partisan position that needs controlling for.

Even many in major media know it. I cannot explain to you, as a bestselling Trump biographer, why so many in D.C. are hiding what all of us know.

- Reposted by Slimer!Both are concerned with extreme performance of femininity. The difference is, one set uses that performance to subvert gender norms. The other uses that performance to reify them. It's worth remembering that fascists absolutely recognize that gender is a performance. They just use it differently.
