If you do feminine stuff: "You're reinforcing patriarchal gender standards"
If you don't: "You're not even trying"
They just want a reason to criticize you that doesn’t involve being honest to either you or themselves.
There was a massive spike of this stuff on Reddit after the Nashville shooting and it never went back to normal.
Maybe the critic should try skirt go spinny and they'd understand the appeal. Everyone deserves to try skirt go spinny. It's so satisfying.
can confirm it is amazing
Enby here: It is indeed awesome.
Agreed. Smashing the patriarchy should not involve restrictions on skirt spinning.
Rather it should involve removing restrictions making it easier to access for people who might want it, or don't even know they might want it.
I agree, that's not the way to fix it. The way to fix it is to try Skirt go spinny, regardless of gender. Seriously they are awesome, especially in the hot summer, way better than shorts.
I agree everyone should try, though I personally find chafing an issue without bifurcated undergarments. (Which is why I own leggings, lol. Skirt spinny without chafing).
Excellent fucking meme. Im seeing more reactionaries use the "i dont respect trans people because they arent doing gendrt abolition" talking point

You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.

We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.
