if you work to stop gendering strangers, it becomes much easier to gender trans people right, cause you lose the sense of “facial hair = male” and “boobs = female” and stuff. when you see someone cute at walmart and think “dang he’s cute”, correct yourself to “dang they’re cute”, it’s a small thing but correcting yourself without feedback or backlash or anything does become habit and it increases the ease in which you can change pronouns for people who ask because you aren’t entrenched in gender binaries and stuff.

this is so important, once i had to stop myself from thinking “hes following me home from the train station”, that stalker could id as a woman! I had to delete the amber alert app from my phone too bc it says “male” or “man” instead of “amab” about kidnappers. I am really sick of news reports that never ask the gender ID of alleged rapists too! It’s so important to remember women rape sometimes w their penises. Don’t get me started about domestic violence shelters!!!! I’m just sort of rambling now, none of these things are connected, and theres no reason to talk about the assigned at birth sex of the people who do these mean things, I am sure theres no pattern to discuss really.

No, I’m fucking “gendering” everyone. I will not ignore sex-based oppression and male violence to make some Tumblr special snowflake shit heads feel better. I will not stop talking about sex and gender and how relevant it is.

So is everyone just ~pansexual~ now? Because we obviously can’t assume the gender of anyone we find attractive.
