Wait, that last panel ... what does it mean that "she" has a list of questions like that for the next 100 days? Is this some lazy harebrained idea to half ass his way through the next 100 days of comics? Because if the first two questions are this incoherent and terrible, what would day 100 look like? I hope that wasn't foreshadowing ...
Making up stupid pronouns is one thing. Making up biology is beyond ridiculous. I forget who commented this already, but they are absolutely right: transgenderism is the equivalent of flat earth theories. You have to purposely ignore actual science and make up your own convoluted and inconsistent BS to justify it. Assuming they were even able to understand the actual biology to begin with. I'm pretty sure Sophie is borderline retarded.
I see Sophie is just outright stealing jokes from funnier people now. "Our whole life is a phase, Linda", is ripped directly, word for word, from Bob's Burgers. It was even said to a character named Linda. Normally I'd say, whatever, who cares, it's a reference/homage. But... come on. It's Billy.
I want to know what society LaBelle lives in where being heterosexual is required by law and forced upon the population. Seriously I can't think of anything outside of full blown Sharia law that would even enforce that. If he means in families or small social groups then whatever I'll give him that. And then to say "humans are made to encompass a variety of sexes" is so painfully Goddamn wrong it makes my teeth hurt. Humans ( like damn near every other mammal on the planet) have 2 sexes. Yes XXY, YYX. XXX shit can happen with chromosomes, but they are extremely rare and generally come with a massive host of health disorders ( developmentally, physically, mentally) because that shit IS NOT supposed to happen. This is some of the most disingenuous, uneducated, self masturbatory, horse shit to come out of LaBelle in a while. For someone that shits on "8th grade Biology" LaBelle has absolutely no grasp of it.
Well hold on. Let’s look at the logic of this. If, say, a boy feels like they’re a girl, they should have all the words to say “I feel like a girl, not a boy.” If they’re only trooning out once they have the specific vocabulary that comes with being familiar with trans issues, I’d say that actually that’s pretty solid evidence that they’re copying what they see around them rather than expressing any inherent trans tendencies.
I just assumed with LaBelle's usual "I'm so oppressed by everyone and everything RREEEE!" schtick that he was referring to actual state sanctioned stuff with Nazi death squads enforcing the rules. You're right though, there are tons of societal assumptions and expectations in regards to gender and sexuality especially in the media and schools. My personal experiences with these things were few and far between so that's inexperience and a bit of ignorance on my part.
That book is going to be an absolute train wreck and might actually piss off so many people we start burning witches at the stake again.You freakin should be!
But yeah, it's cool! I can definitely see why you'd think that's what he meant, especially with it being Labelle and all. It's not a very familiar term for most people. But like so many shitty authors and especially shitty gender studies / intro soc types, Labelle assumes his entire audience is exactly like him and thus will understand any obscure term he feels like throwing out there, so he doesn't need to break it down or explain it to his audience at all. Which is a huge failure on his part as an author.
I can't wait to see what kind of weird gender studies textbook language makes it into that absolutely terrifying "sex ed for kiddies" book he's planning.
I'm honestly waiting for some random troon to go completely off the rails and try to physically transition without socially transitioning. If troons keep getting more cultlike, one day someone's gonna chop his dick off and insist that it actually makes him a trans man or some shit. If that actually happens, Labelle will of course openly support it while subtly hinting that choosing to not be a dainty teenage girl is the patriarchy's fault.
