Now someone can tell me to stop arguing gender performativity with Republicans on the internet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Do you really need to be told that, Suela?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wheels in the sky keep on turnin'...

And I don't know any other lyrics than that. Driving me bonkers, it is.

::sigh:: I guess not. This guy seems to think that I think gender performativity is enforced by a cabal of old white guys, and since that's clearly insane, so am I. Also, he has to wear a tie to court! And women like to get dressed up! And women dress for other women! So there!

Bah. I hate leaving my nice safe confines.

Pfft. Tell it to the drag queens, buddy.

I have never bought that tie thing, because if men hated ties that much, they'd loosen them or take them off when they get their cars to drive home. Very few do. I have checked this rather obsessively.

What's the motivation for lying?

I think that's also laziness, though. And where to put it, etc.

S. used to come home, when he worked a suit-and-tie job, and practically strip in the living room.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My White House intern roommate would basically strip on his way home from work. But that was because he was hot. Also, hot. Good times.
