Inspired by my drawing I did in a notebook earlier this year in my animation class: (4/4/23)

A couple hundred years ago I played a poison pokemon only run of Sun/Moon. We won! Poison only team! I just opened up my rom of FireRed and saw I had just started another poison only run so I'm picking it back up again. Let's go!! Win every pokemon game with only poison!!
So like, is a trans woman who likes the smell of gasoline simply not a real trans woman now? Because only male-brained people like the smell of gasoline because Man Like Car Vroom Vroom Car Manly
The idea that gender is biological or linked to anything biological is bioessentialism. Aside from being intersexist, this idea is ALSO transphobic.
This is just "gender is what's in your pants" but with neurobiology most of you don't know jack shit about.
The brain is not sexually dimorphic to the point you could call ANY brain 'sexed', in any capacity. The structures within the brain that vary in size in relation to sex traits (insula, left amygdala, hippocampus, claustrum, pallidum, and a few others) are slight, and only loosely connected. These traits are sexually dimorphic only in a non-rigid way, such as height or facial proportions. Being tall is not seen as a strictly 'male' trait the way having a beard or testicles is. Being short is not seen as a strictly 'female' trait the same way having a uterus or breasts is.
We don't call tall cis women or short cis men intersex, why the hell would we call people with slightly uncommon neurological structures vaguely associated with sex intersex? Not to mention, we have literally no idea if these neurobiological variances are even what causes gender dysphoria.
By nature of these things being averages; There are cis people with these brain differences who are literally perfectly fine being cis and have no dysphoria. There are trans people without them with dysphoria so debilitating they don't go outside and prefer showering with the light off.
Further on dysphoria, I dislike the way it is all called "gender dysphoria", as if social dysphoria and physical dysphoria are the same thing. You can wish to change your sex traits REGARDLESS of your gender identity. Yes. Cis people can have dysphoria and can go on HRT and get surgeries because they have gender dysphoria, without ever changing their pronouns, going by a different name, or identifying as a different gender. Trans people can be comfortable with their bodies despite fully identifying as a different gender, getting a new name, pronouns, etc.
Aside from this, co-opting intersexuality and making it about perisex people because your dad has weird double standards regarding intersex & perisex trans people is absolutely unacceptable. Fighting intersexism with more intersexism just makes you (shocker), an intersexist.
Your parents said "Only intersex people can be trans", and instead of responding with "no, that's wrong, here's why-", you went "You're right! All trans people are intersex", how on earth does agreeing with your parents' bigotry help intersex or trans people?
the bitch that threw a fit about tying with a trans woman in college swimming is actually pathetic because they weren't even tied for first. they tied for fifth. imagine joining a hate movement over a fifth place trophy
i have not been able to stop thinking about the comments under iskall’s video comparing these two clips when i watched this episode LMAO
