That name sounds really familiar. Aren't they the ones who ran that trashcatalog blog a year or two back?

Nullagender definition: when someone identifies as genderless due to having the western/white gender binary enforced upon them.

But the gender binary is pretty universal, even outside of the West?

I don't even

I don't even

Technically, some cultures have "third genders," but from what I've read they're closer to enforced societal roles than personal identities. I don't think the people who get assigned those genders actually have much say in the matter, if any.

(Please note that I might well have my info wrong--I'm speaking from memory here and I might be misinformed anyway. If anyone knows better than me here, please do correct me.)

I do think (some) nonbinary gender identities are valid; like I've mentioned before, I know plenty of nonbinary people who experience real, legitimate dysphoria and don't feel even remotely comfortable being thought of as either male or female. Of course, as with everything, Tumblr goes overboard.

(TL;DR: Nonbinary identities can be valid, but the gender binary is far from a solely Western thing and a lot of cultures are far more rigid with gender stuff than ours. Also, Tumblr is full of fuckwits.)

And that dovetails nicely with something I've been thinking about, which is that for all Tumblr culture is quick to cry "OMFG ABLEISM!!!!!!!!!!!11" at anything and everything, a lot of the ridiculous made-up pronoun sets are actually really difficult for people with certain disabilities.

Like...speaking as an Actual IRL Autistic Shitlord here, I find it incredibly hard to keep up when someone changes their pronouns. Like, even if it's a valid change (i.e. "I just came out as FTM, and I'd like you to use masculine pronouns for me from now on" or what have you), it's a tricky thing for me to adjust to because I'm too spergy to cope with change all that well, but when someone picks an arbitrary new pronoun set every now and then for no discernable reason, it becomes damn near impossible. (Frankly, I'd assume it'd be tricky even for neurotypical people.) And that's not even delving into people with learning disabilities like dyslexia or non-native English speakers, who are gonna have a (rather understandably) difficult time parsing ridiculous pronouns. </rant>

And on a related note, my "deadself" follower is now using a different ridiculous name and "starself" pronouns:

They are all almost exclusively hangover roles originally held by eunuchs (though rarely now). They are not nearly as glamorous or exotic as is often made out and are far more tolerated than they are accepted.

there has never been a society in human history that had a gender concept that was any more removed from the binary than m/f/eunuch and these were all very much based on physical traits. Which makes sense: Testosterone and oestrogen do effect behaviour and how we think and before hormones were available the only way to alter someone's chemistry radically was castration. So if you wanted less aggressive and assertive men you cut off their balls. There was a good reason eunuchs were in admin roles from rome to china. Obviously some eunuchs did become successful generals but they were largely the exception. The naturally occuring cases of nb are far too small a percentage of the population to ever have had an impact on the societal or cultural norms or structures.

Thats not to say matriarchal rather than patriarchal societies didnt exist- they did but that's a whole different kettle of fish.

This isn't in any way meant as a political point just a historical point of interest.

EDIT: in terms of gender roles one could argue that many of these societies had 5- boys, girls, men, women, eunuchs but modern practice in ss is not to treat children and adults as having separate gender roles but rather just reduced versions of the adult role. I'm not sure I agree that this is correct but my degree isn't in gender studies so what do I know

I thought it was something like that, but I couldn't exactly remember. Interesting stuff for sure.

Shame Tumblr likes to twist everything to fit an agenda. (But then again, I'm kind of convinced that's human nature, at least to a certain degree.)

Why the fuck do tumblards think anyone believes them when they're pretending they're so triggered they're having some kind of fucking seizure that keeps them from even being able to type?

They just look drunk. Or fucked up on pain meds.

They think that if you type like you suffered a bout of spontaneous brain failure, that it translates instantly into sob speech. They're wrong of course, since everyone knows that sob speech is just the noise you make when you shriek into a tub of butter, lard, or any other tub full of fats and/or sweets.

"...Ah, come take a look at this, but be very still and quiet. If you look through the underbrush, you can see Tumblrista histrionicus deploying its special defense mechanism. Much like an opossum playing dead, this rare, delicate little creature puts on a fantastic little display, acting as though it has contracted a terrible brain disease so as to discourage predators from consuming its potentially infected flesh."

This is retarded, for a lot of reasons but mainly because I draw genderbends because I want to make cute designs and there is nothing that should offend trans people, if they get their genders bent they'll go from mtf to ftm they don't just cease to be transgender you double retard.

Feel you there, recently got called a transphobe for saying a particular fandom didn't run under cis norms. Because stating something doesn't make that assumption is now transphobic.

Did you guys know that Markiplier angered the tranny brigade because of a picture from 2014?
His crime? Posting a picture of himself with makeup.

That's it! This was enough to trigger tumblr trans. And boy were they butthurt (and still are).

See in tumblr trans land you can't make a joke by using makeup. You are only allowed to use it if you want to explore your jendah otherwise you are twanzmisogynmigujkhu.

Nooo Mark! I TRUSTED you! But then you used make up!1 Why??1

Never wear make up as a man! The tranny Gestapo will get you! I guess they also hate Batman because of the twanzmifodzhfdfg Joker.
Here is a SJW (trigger warning!11!!1) blog with more details about the whole drama. These people are batshit insane.

I'm too fucking drunk to give a proper response, but holy shit call the cops men using make up to intentionally make themselves look worse for a joke is now transmisogyny. What a bunch of dummies.

This one amuses me for so many reasons. 1: He has millions of subs. He would not give a shit about what some womanchild who sobs at everything will say about this. 2: He will not give a shit if you unsub him, since again, millions of subs. 3: The absolute sobbing rage at a guy who intentionally fucked up makeup for laughs. 4: You will still watch him and give him money.
