Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

That gender is at least partially a social construct and even if you have XY chromosomes and you've been brought up as a woman you shouldn't be forced to live as a man in case you do a chromosomal test and it turns out you have XY chromosomes.
Imagine the opposite - you're an XX man with a penis and you've lived as a man your whole life and then you do a random chromosomal test and somebody tells you "you see I know you have a penis and I know you're fine being a man but your chromosomes says you're "female" so we have to chop off your dick and you have to grow titties so you can fit into the binaries we've established because it's too hard for others to believe you're a man"
