Transphobes: you can't just change your gender like that. Gender is all about biology

Also transphobes: this wallet is a woman, clearly

man I can only imagine how fucking psychedelic things would be nowadays if English had grammatical gender

Crackpot theory idea : the absence of grammatical gender is the reason the anglo empire is at the forefront of transphobia, because gendered nouns convey the idea that gender is a social construct

I feel like you’re overestimating the degree to which people recognize that language is a social construct.

If English had grammatical gender anglophone transphobes would claim the gender words have is unchangeable fact and if words can’t transition of course people can’t.

Bulgarian has grammatical gender and our chuds are still on that "gender is biological" bullshit. Never forget the cruelty is the point, there is nothing underneath fascist arguments but a yawning void where their humanity used to be.

Turns out the transphobia was the mental illness all along!
