I really look forward to the days when people realize there is a fundamental difference between gender presentation and gender identity.

Plenty of people who experiment or play with gender presentation are perfectly comfortable and content in their existing gender identity, and the sooner certain corners of the LGBTQ+ community remember that and stop trying to push one into the other, the better for everyone.

and it wasn't even gender presentation play. The makeup was difficult to really understand (there were a lot more accusations of gayness than transness and even then I'd barely bat an eye if there were lots of bi guys in that scene) but the clothes and hair? It was very much a costume and really, spandex and hairspray was never seen as feminine regardless. In the 1970s and 80s femininity was still very defined by skirts and accessories, not red and gold spandex pants and torn tank tops.

there were a lot more accusations of gayness than transness

That's because back then, if you didn't know anyone queer then you probably thought being gay and being trans was the same thing. You might come out as gay and someone would go "so you want to be a man/woman?" And while this secret is about the glam rock era, I had this happen to me in the early 00s. I honestly had to unlearn some defensive transphobia from this about ten years ago.

TERF scum spotted. "certain corners of the LGBTQ+ community" shut the fuck up with the cheap cover, we all know what you actually mean.

If she breathes, she's a TERF.

Go back to Tumblr.

No. You are projecting. You are inventing an entire conversation in your head for moral superiority.

This is a chance to learn about history not just guess from a surface level image. This will be good for you.

Yes, what they actually mean is certain corner of the LGBT+ community who behave exactly like that. And that you are probably part of considering you feel the need to lash out. Denial is a strong drug, hun. Do better.

The great thing about convincing yourself that everyone with a contrary or more complicated view is a bigot is that it means you never have to think about your own views.

I keep reading this as "cheap trick cover" and wondering what new bands are following the styles of the past.

Ugh, this, as a fairly androgynous/slightly masc-leaning-in-terms-of-presentation cis woman. It was bad enough when I was a teenager and got called a dyke, now I get people trying to "educate" me on how I'm really NB.

You phrased that so beautifully! It was what I was thinking but I could t get it down as well.
