A central point, which Talia’s argument stresses in bold colors, is the VERTICALITY of gender, of male supremacy. Something typically elided by imagining it merely as a binary (rather than a hierarchy)
(Sorry I’m not done) A striking insight gleams out of this argument—that within the framework of mutual cultural unintelligibility, CISNESS goes unquestioned as an unspoken cross-cultural constant. Cisness as an institution, one not identified with as such but passionately defended.
Useful tips for organising ALT text. 📝
I think Blusky will be where I come to hang out and talk Bout books but Twitter will be where I go for my daily dose of drama.
If you’re a transhet woman (or a similar identity) and you had an experience anything like this—or you just thoughts about this—I’d love to talk to you about it! Wouldn’t mind some RTs on this actually, for visibility
Hey new users who are artists, photographers, cosplayers, etc— there’s a strong culture here of putting alt text on images, and a whole lot of people won’t repost something that doesn’t have it. If you want to improve your reach, that’s a key ingredient. And alt text can be searched!
You look great! 😌
