Gender capitalist

(Anonymous) 2016-01-21 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
"I consider myself a gender capitalist"

Rain Dove says they chooses which gender to present as depending on which offers the best perks for the situation; which will give them a better job that day, more free drinks, safer walk home etc.

Thoughts?

Take it to the gender thread.

Re: Gender capitalist

(Anonymous) 2016-01-21 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
put this in the gender thread, anon.

Re: Gender capitalist

(Anonymous) 2016-01-21 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Not anon, but that would be nice if people weren't trolling that thread with derailing shit.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-21 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Generals are for trolling and circlejerking.

Maybe it's because there's gender/rape/feminism wank every. single. fucking. day from really obvious trolls and people want to talk about something else other than gender?

Re: Gender capitalist

(Anonymous) 2016-01-21 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Or rape and feminism are really important to people and they want to have a space to talk about it. And since people get pissed about these discussions happening all over the place, perhaps we could let them have a general thread to talk about it where everyone else can ignore it if they don't want to see it? Perhaps that might be best for everyone? no, no, you're right, you don't want to see it so they're just trolls, lets dismiss them and troll / dismiss their attempts to keep things contained and as pleasant as possible for everyone. They should just shut up and go away because you think that only trolls are interested in these topics.

TLDR, you're being dismissive of what actual people want, Being on the other end of an internet doesn't make them not people worth just as much as you, no matter how easy you find it to dismiss them as trolls. And the people derailing that thread? They are trolls. Disruptive trolls at that, not just random shit-talkers.

They're clearly joking around, which is one of the foundations of this site, and I don't think it detracts from the idea of having a place to talk about gender

Like, you can reply to that thread still. It's not like there's a limit on number of replies.

Hang on, shes the non-binary girl from OitNB, right?

Re: Gender capitalist

(Anonymous) 2016-01-21 01:10 am (UTC)(link)

Rose came out as a lesbian at the age of 12. Because of her sexuality, she suffered verbal taunts and physical abuse from her schoolmates, which led to a suicide attempt. She was also sexually abused as a child by a relative, and has bipolar disorder with a propensity towards clinical depression.

Just another weirdo.

People have been doing this for race for a long, long time. Doing it for gender seems like a natural progression.

I question how this would actually work in any real life situation.

Like... how convincing is it? I would think in order to actually gain any benefit one's presentation would have to be pretty spot on (in the sense of traditional male and female roles), and I truly can't think of any situation where someone would be able to just flit back and forth between traditional male or female presentations without most people just labelling them a queer.

Which would therefore be pretty well ameliorating their benefits.

And like, practically how the hell does that work? Are we just supermanning it with a full change of clothes and a wig in a duffel bag plus a full makeup kit just in case that safe walk home or drinks at a bar require a different presentation?

This can't be real.

Could work as the premise of a tv show.

mte, especially with the example given of being safer walking home alone. I'm a short/skinny twink and no amount of me being male would keep me 100% safe walking home alone, let alone someone who can supposedly pass for male or female at any time.
