there’s lots of fake ass duality. there’s tons of old swinging pendulums.
you were tailor made for this era!
tick. tock. tick. tock.

"Gender is a drag." While riding home in the Lyft last night (driven by a human being, not an autonomous vehicle BTW) we passed this signage at The Pleasure Chest on Santa Monica Blvd. It reminded me of RuPaul's famous quote: "We're all born naked. The rest is drag."

some queer people will never end up with a perfect label that describes them 100% and that's okay. sometimes you just go "i dunno i'm just queer" or "i'm a dyke who's a fag who's a drag queen" or "i'm just some guy" and that's okay. you don't always need a label or easy way to describe it if you can't. you can blaze your own trail

I expected nothing less from a single mom who works two jobs, who loves her kids and never stops, with gentle hands and a heart of a fighter

I hate hate HATE when radfems are like "drag is a misogynistic caricature of women!" so close ❤️ it's a silly caricature of femininity and how women are *expected* to act by society. large breasts, lots of pink, heavy makeup? that is not the definition of woman. that is exactly how the patriarchy expects women to act. if you think drag is a caricature of women, boy do I have something to tell you.

Pronouns are words used to refer to yourself and others. I, We, You, Your, He, She, They, You're, Theirs, His, It, Herself etc are ALL pronouns, it's very hard to speak English without using them. Singular They/Them has been used for centuries. The word "You" used to only be used for groups, see how language evolves.
Cis and Trans are Adjectives which are describing words. Cis is not a slur or a pronoun. Cis is a Latin prefix that means "On the same side of" whereas Trans means "On the other side of."
Puberty Blockers were first created in the 80s to stop children from starting puberty too early. Children can get their period as early as 7 years old and a child shouldn't have to go through that. The effects are completely reversible, all the child has to do is stop taking them whenever they're ready and they'll start their puberty again. You only have a problem with puberty blockers when Trans kids use them.
No doctor is performing gender affirming surgeries on under age children (except for intersex children and babies), there's so much that you have to do before even being approved for top or bottom surgery (or any kind of gender affirming surgery), it's also very expensive, none of this would ever be performed on a child.
Drag Queens reading stories to children or dancing for them isn't any different than hiring a professional to dress up for your child's birthday party or going to Disney World where everyone is dressed up and playing characters. There is absolutely nothing inappropriate about Drag Queen story time. Drag Queens wear far more clothing than literally any of us. If you're fine with taking your child to Hooters or to a sports game with cheerleaders but you have a problem with Drag Queens... You sexualize Queer people and say it's inappropriate for us to be around children yet you have no problem with over-sexualizing women if it's for your entertainment and you have no problem with your child seeing it.

If Drag Queens and Kings exist as hyper performances of gender, do Drag Jesters exist for people who Do Not Perform Gender Period. Like, can we show up to the gay club dressed as Mothman and Big Foot like is that a thing

Question: Dan, when are you starting your drag career? Sister Daniel is SO hot and you know it!
Dan: Look. Sister Daniel does awaken something in me that I could do a whole video essay about.
Phil: What was that?
Dan: Dan. Gender. Drag. And the confrontation of who your personality is as shaped by nature or nurture.
Phil: Oh!
Dan: To what extent is the personality of Dan, with the wearing black and the cynicism and the sarcasm and the boy hair, just me being afraid of being bullied at secondary school. Does Sister Daniel allow me to... is it just an act? Or is there something there? Who knows.
Phil: Might be a good video!
Dan: No.
