The people who are most uptight about other people's bodies are the same people most likely to abuse children's and women's bodies.
I'm a cis woman who lives in a red area. I make a point of using the men's bathroom if it's a single stall when we go out. Just to fuck with the haters. Solidarity forever.
@rooster We were watching Sex Education last night and there was a scene where the new head teacher was trying to separate the students by gender, and one of the non-binary people asked which line they should be in.
Teacher: "The girls line."
NB: "But I'm not a girl."
Teacher: "But that class will have valuable information on female reproduction that you'll need to know."
NB: "Oh, so it's the penis line and the vagina line, then."
Teacher: ...
@CordiallyChloe I was so excited to finally see Robyn. (They're the actor who plays the other enby in that episode.) I've followed them in Instagram for a while and they're part of why I we even started watching the show. I was a bit disappointed at how small their role ended up being, though. 😢
Smart kid!! I hope the teacher handled it gracefully.
@FranceskaMann Oh, she did not. It was a clusterfuck. And that was the point.
When I was a kid a teacher said the only English word that had two ii's was skiing. I had just gotten back from a trip to Hawaii so I corrected her. She lost her mind. I was her least favorite kid after that. I can't even imagine a teachers reaction being corrected on gender issues. But I am rooting for that kid and I bet the other kids in the class are too.
@rooster I was just remembering the time my grandma told me one of her friends was in the bathroom and she saw someone come into the stall next to her and their shoes were facing the wrong way while they peed! She assumed it must have been one of those creepy transes!
To do this day, I’m like…what the fuck is wrong with that woman? Who is snooping under the wall at the stall next to them? And how is that not a hundred times creepier than a potential transfem choosing to pee standing up?
I did point out to my grandma that sometimes people go into the wrong restroom and it could have just been a confused guy, and she laughed and then told a story about a time when she went into the wrong bathroom without realizing it until a man came in.
@josh0 Contextless, this raised my eyebrows.
