it’s like the cis lgbp folk finally got around to listening to all the reasons we don’t like LGBT, only to recycle our words to justify ripping queer out of our mouths.
Saying “Gender is fake so how are people trans?” is like saying “Money is fake so how are people poor?” Like as much as we facetiously say gender is fake, “social construct” is not synonymous with “fake”
