The fascists love to demonize queer ppl for "making everything about sex" or "making their gender their whole personality" but every time I go to a queer event I am struck by how precisely they have this backwards. Cis society is profoundly sexualized, and literally every interaction is pre-coded with assumed gender. In a queer space, you purposefully never make assumptions about who someone is or what they're up to, so interactions are much *less* coded by gender and *less* intronsically sexual
@jonny True. They only notice it because it's different from their expectation, something they take for granted and "obvious" so it becomes a big deal for them.
Also, gender is a complex topic. Humans are complicated, which is what makes us fascinating to study. Fascism and libertarianism attract simple-minded people who want everything to be yes, no, 1, 0, black, white. No thinking required. Gray areas are to be avoided at all cost because they require thinking, making decisions, and taking responsibility. These are very uncomfortable things for about half the population.
