☕️ gender. Is that too broad a topic? I'm debating my gender atm so I'm thinking about all of it 😂

☕ thots + onions

⌖ It’s a VERY broad topic. What do you want my thoughts on? What it is? That’s all METAPHYSICS! I’M just a RADIO HOST with a BLOG!

⌖ We can start with a single step in my direction, so to speak! It’s a social construct. And I’d like for you to think about what that implies, to you! As far as I’m concerned, it means that I’m not innately anything. To be simplistic, my gender is the social class I move through society as. It’s performative. (I’d take it a step further and say our existences are performative. You don’t find yourself, you create yourself & retain object permanence among your witnesses!)

⌖ I look inside myself and ask, “do I feel like a man or a woman?” and the answer is, “I feel like the ACTIVE DUMPSTER FIRE behind the WAFFLE HOUSE I drunkenly fistfought three people at last month!” And I LIVE & NAVIGATE SOCIETY as a woman because THAT’S what I have to DO to achieve the same level of DYSFUNCTION as the REST of you people!

⌖ (You might find it more productive to focus less on what gender you ARE ‘inside’, and focus more on HOW you want to navigate the world, and why!)

#// I wrote SO MUCH on so many different schools of thought and then went WAIT. hold up. one thing at a time. anyway.#'I look inside myself and ask do I feel like a man or a woman? and the answer is I feel like shit. i present & move through society as a #woman bc that's what i have to do to attain the same level of sadness & dyfunction as everyone else. and i identify as trash.'#is (paraphrased. i prolly messed something up) a quote from contrapts #who is a trans woman!!! both my alastors vibe with that. I feel like it encapsulates a LOT w/o having to hash out details of their psyche.#some of which is complicated for my brain celles to words.#anyway 2 all the ppl who are gonna be like PERFORMATIVE? THAT'S RUDE no!! judith butler is TRANS POSITIVE & nb!!#her work is hard to get thru so the link is to a video where she explains it in very highlevel accessible terms.#⌖ online #anyway al's view of 'the world is a stage' is... complex and leaves room for authenticity. and the concept of performance & performativity #as the use of social languages of expression (appearance. mannerisms. etc) to express oneself to others in a pre-existing system.#yeah that's borderline incomprehensible I'm out of words. anyway. just enjoy the art I guess.#if her proportions look wonky it's because I have the artistic skill of a potato. we know this. keep it movin #⌖ meem: thots + onions #⌖ gender
