i’m happy for eddie izzard but also remembering when ppl on tumblr used to call her transphobic for referring to herself as a “lesbian trapped in a man’s body” instead of maybe thinking for 2 seconds about the reasons why someone might describe herself in that way
the expectations the internet has bred re: sexuality and gender are so deeply harmful and i feel like i’ve only ever seen them intensify over the years (that everyone needs to have a discrete, historically congruent sense of identity that must be declared publically)
i also feel like paradoxically (or maybe not) as the ideas of gender nonconformity/nonbinary identity have gained mainstream relevance, the expectation of performing gender in a (politically) “correct” way has actually become more stringent?
imagine if i pitched and wrote essays instead of tweeting my good ideas for free. imagine that!
