And if there ever is gonna be healing
There has to be remembering
And then grieving
So that there then can be forgiving
There has to be knowledge and understanding

"If we actually started calling bullying what it is and address it as racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fat phobia and classism it would actually give children a better way to deal with the very same power dynamics they will face as adults, while also giving adults more responsibility to challenge the intolerance that is rooted within our society overall."

I’ll even b honest and say, if I would ever try writing a book, I would NOT be in any way shape or form writing an ethical critical book. I would NOT b using ethical or honorable publishers, I would ABsOLuTLY be writing books to create a franchise and become richer than jKR. If that would mean writing stories about teen age white boys, so be it.
But you better believe that all of mine would be taken care of and I would SO b following jkr’s example of giving away money.
if you’re gonna b a hustling bitch like me, own it. Stop using all the language of justice to decorate your hustle.

it’s okay to not know how to do a thing. you can ask for help or read instructions or watch a tutorial. things aren’t always intuitive. not everything is intuitive to everyone. it’s okay.

sometimes commentary on the male gaze is just catering to the male gaze. irony.
like, accusing women baring legs, cleavage or midriff of doing it for the male gaze, as if they couldnt do it coz they fuckin feel like it.
or looking at art or photos of women in poses that accentuate their curves and femininity and calling it for the male gaze, as if men are the only ones who like lookin at ass and titties and girls in cute or sexy stances. as if men are the only ones who could possibly be sexually attracted to women.
way to center every damn thing around males while claiming youre against it.

The content of the video is less of a problem for me than the meaning David and others ascribe to it. The idea of “drag Batman” is kinda neat, it’s a powerful image. The accompanying essay that’s like “Transgender People Exist I Will Now Be Their Ambassador Because It’s Not Like Any of Them Exist in Punk and Can Speak for Themselves,” is kinda not so neat.
And like, if your punk music video is doing critical cultural work, it doesn’t need a blowhard 750-word essay follow up. Also like, if you’re going to go ahead and write that essay in a thinly veiled attempt to pre-empt critique, maybe write it like the people you’re making Art about are actually going to read it.
I’m just not interested in someone else’s musings on my subjectivity?
Especially when that person and his body can exist and function in ways that mine never will be able to. Seriously dude, I’m the last person to argue that transgender people are the only ones with complicated genders, but the image of a cisgender man “binding” with an ace bandage made me feel physically ill.
It seems like Not Making Actual Trans People Feel Dysphoric and Alienated is way less the priority of this Combination VideoBell/EssayHut than Educating Cis People (won’t somebody please think of the cis people!) and then getting cool points aka social capital aka record sales aka tail in exchange.
Gender signifiers in themselves are not something that can be “appropriated.” They are literally a costume. I’m not mad David wore lipstick or a binder. But the identities and experiences that accompany living with “aberrant” gender embodiments is a whole other thing, and like, you can’t just temporarily adopt a different presentation (that I’m assuming was not seen by his job or family) and honestly think you get what this life is about.
If David wanted to do this video “in a way that was serious and informed by perspectives outside of [his] own,” maybe he could have brought the gaze up from his navel and into a conversation with some trans people. Speaking of, is anyone in the video not cis?
I’m just not interested in someone else’s musings on my subjectivity.

There’s a difference between enjoying something that’s problematic and excusing something that’s problematic because you enjoy it.
