#only natural clothes are made of leaves and grasses
I love when baby gays are clearly still unlearning a lot of biases and like every couple of months try to find a progressive reason to explain why men wearing dresses makes them uncomfortable. Like obviously transmisogynistic caricatures are Bad but if it’s just a guy irl who wants to do drag or something that’s literally fine. This has been a thing longer than you’ve been alive
Also like I need you all to understand that historically the line between gnc & trans people has always been way less distinctly defined than you want it to be. And for a lot of people that’s kind of the point. Drag in particular is about radical self expression it’s about taking gender performance and turning it into a literal show and it rules
To the people in my notes talking about “it’s okay if gnc men make you uncomfortable as long as you don’t police anyone <3” no it’s not actually. You need to think about why that is and deconstruct it. Lol
Everytime I get into arguments with people about clothing and what men should and shouldn’t be allowed to wear (imo? Everything, conformity is sooooooo boring), i bring up the Greeks and them looking at Persian man in pants and calling him thulakos (literally a sack usually for meats… they called them slang for scrotum).
Then there’s the invention of heels… for noblemen.
People tend to not bring up gender topics sound me. I have too many examples that if I climb them, their little reasoning can’t survive the fall. Pants, shoes, leggings, stockings, makeup, jewelry…got historical receipts. The only consistent conformity is the ever changing nature and geeze does that make people mad too point out.
