Pass shmass
Yes see this is what you don’t understand – it’s nothing to do with “passing,” it’s just being.
Hurr hurr women don’t have books, women have pouty poofy lips the better to suck you with. Women don’t look like adult people who can think and talk, women look like Barbie dolls only stupider.
Hurr hurr, but that’s not the point at all – it’s the opposite of the point. Women don’t have to be hot, sexy, pointy, goldy, blondey, porney – women don’t have to be a menu item for men. That’s not what women are for and it’s not what defines us. We don’t need to pass.
“Ain’t I a woman”? – Sojourner Truth, who was that.
Depends, I suppose. If I was looking for someone to make a porno with or someone with whom I could have a conversation, I’m sure I know which passes for whom.
TIMs are good at trying to “look” like their idea of a woman, but they only ever show us the face. News flash – women are not just their face.
I’m not aware of any list of virtues that include superficial or shallow, but it looks as if there are those who count them as such.
Ah, see, the real woman does not have to pass because even in a poorly lit, poorly composed and un-enhanced picture, she is clearly seen as the woman she is. Now take the blond fellow out of the carefully composed and filtered still picture and he will not look like a woman at all because he is a man. Reality is a trip, man! BTW, his arsenal of posing tricks did not hide that huge male skull structure, just saying.
I’ve been asked before if I’m a “terf” because I’m mad that trans women are prettier than me.
Um, no.
I’m angry because you think that this is a petty cat fight about being pretty, when this is a serious matter about women’s rights. Ironically enough, trans women would find having a cat fight quite affirming. I don’t need affirming.
Honestly, it just about made me as angry as I was the times I’ve been told that I’m “cute when I’m angry”.
What’s with ‘think they pass’? Do women really give a moment’s consideration over whather they ‘pass’ as women? ‘Passing’ is something that concerns only those trying to be what they are not. Undercover police must pass as criminals amongst criminals: confidence tricksters must pass as whatever part they are playing to work a con. Women do not need to pass as women because they are women.
Well all I can say is that woman on the left has a good, strong, warm & intelligent face that suggests a genuine personality, whereas the TW on the right looks completely vapid, and almost certainly is.
I once met some very strange asshole man, and I decided, after the first interaction (which had nothing to do with misogyny), not to have any further interaction with him. A few months later, I overheard him say to someone: “My wife is so hot when she’s sick.” WTF?
Sorry, the Embalmed Republican Bride on the right does not speak ‘woman’ to this straight guy. I’m much more likely to sigh over the strong, handsome woman on the left. Or the metalworkers below. Good thing I’m too old to be sent to the puberty-blocking reeducation center.
Oh, passing as X is the same thing as being X now? I wonder what police will say about that when I impersonate them and start pulling drivers over.
Holms, I’ve heard bizarre stories of people doing that!
GW, the best example I’ve heard of that was a couple of years ago here in England. The fake police officer pulled a car over, only to find that his ‘victim’ was a traffic cop on duty in an unmarked police car. Whoops.
Passing is what one does when one is not a thing.
If one is passing, then one is not the thing.
If one is the thing, one is not passing.
Of fucking course people who are not women pass as women better than women. Women can’t pass as women.
Jesus. Tap dancing. Christ.
This sort of thing should not have to be spelled out.
Or maybe this is another of those many cases where my expectations are warped because most of the people I grew up around and have ever associated with have always been significantly smarter than the average bear.
I can’t see the woman on the left. I can’t see the picture. The twitter account owner has restricted access. I guess I am not on the list.
I’m not on the list either; the owner must have done the restricting later.
Found it!!!
