I really don't know how to explain to people that supporting gender liberation (liberation for trans people, liberation for gnc people, liberation from all oppressive gender roles) means you have to be able to see someone you think is cis "crossdressing" and be cool about it. You have to be able to see someone presenting in a way that doesn't make sense to you and not interrogate them about their identity. You have to be able to hear someone express a gender identity you don't understand and go "Huh! Neat," and go about your business. If you truly want gender liberation for all then you have to stop trying to exert control over other people's genders, period.
On April 30th while reporting on the Students Revolution at Columbia University, CNN anchor Kasie Hunt made reference to Hind Rajab as 'A Woman Who Was Killed in Gaza."
Hind Rajab was six years old.

The most annoying part of Sekiro fandom discourse is that like 40% of it consists of "Genichiro could've saved Ashina if he just-"
No. He couldn't have. That's the point. That's the entire theme of the game.
Ashina was always going to fall, and Genichiro's fatal flaw is that he's incapable of accepting that. He's not an idiot because he failed to retain control of Ashina, he's an idiot because his desperate obsession with retaining control of Ashina has blinded him to the fact that he's actively rendering the country uninhabitable. He's willing to subject commoners to fucked up experiments to create red eyed monsters as last ditch defenders. He wants the Dragons Heritage even though he knows what kind of damage the Dragon Rot will do. He literally set a fucking bulls horns on fire just to buy his armies a little bit of time when the Ministry invaded.
Genichiro was always doomed. He just refused to see it.
