Re: "Gender Queer"

Genderqueer or how to be ironically sexist by putting "boy things" here and "girl things" there.

I hate the genderqueer title. Because how dare someone tell me the things I like and do are "boy things." No, they're girls things. I am a girl and I do them. There shouldn't be a goddamn box, you sexist, narrow minded pig.

Oh I LOVE that. "Excuse you, pink things don't mean you are a girl. And playing with toy trucks doesn't make you a boy!"


"OMG. I was born a girl BUT I love sports and cutting my hair short. I must be genderqueer. :3. Now i have to come out to my parents!"

But...that's literally not how it works. That's not how genderqueer people use the term. And if you take this tack, while it's very very valid and important to acknowledge that Being a Girl can look like a lot of different things and involve a lot of things coded as masculine, it's troublingly like biological essentialism if you insist that this means EVERYONE has to either identify as the gender associated with their physical sex or else identify as trans. That's every bit as limiting as saying that All Girls Must Do Only Girl Things, etc.

This is why I despise the phrase "tomboy" too. I am a girl and the things I like to wear and do, do not make me a boy of any sort.

Because it drives a wedge between the sexes of male and female. It makes things gender specific when there shouldn't be.

Also, who gets to label what are boy things and what are girls things? Is there some all powerful judge passing a law saying things like, "From now on, trucks and cars shall be labeled masculine. Cooking and craftwork shall be labeled as feminine." Who are you tell me the things I do are wrong or out of place for my sex? That's sexist.

It's not about things.

What's the deal here? Between this and the bi thread, it's like someone dropped a big pile of stupid when it comes to LGBT today.
