    it’s stupid and i wouldn’t have brought it up if zack wasn’t such a fucking dick, but that’s fucking rich coming from someone who’s so high on their own completely misguided biological essentialism, at the exclusion of any social reality, that they think an apt and plausible way to pass as a woman in public is to use a full head silicone mask

    alas, too much of a transphobe to know better

      Until I came across a comics table hawking TransCat, the “first” (self-aware scare quotes included) transgender superhero. I had to stop and look: just the catchphrase promised an exemplar of everything I’m fighting—not out of hatred, but out of a shared love that I think I have the more faithful interpretation of. I opened the cover of one of the displayed issues to peek inside. The art quality was … not good. “There’s so much I could say that doesn’t fit in this context,” I said to the table’s proprietor, whose appearance I will not describe.

      a vile thing to write at any time, but to do so within this post in particular is just incredible

      This is wild, there’s like multiple essays worth of text and subtext in there. It almost makes me sad for Zack and his severe brain worms
