rpanons | I thought it was a chocolate chip

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

I wish I could say this surprises me, but considering how often those people insist that crossdressing must mean you're transgender, it's not very surprising at all. Of course they'd conflate drag personas with someone's actual identity too.

How the fuck are they getting "erasure" from this, though? Maybe if it was someone other than Conchita going "oh yeah Wurst's cis," but it's not, ffs. If there's any erasure going on here, it's those people insisting that someone's chosen identity is actually something other than what that person says it is.

It's people assuming that by speaking about about her own identity (which they assumed was non-binary and not trans) Conchita was invalidating the identities of non-binary people who do consider themselves trans.

NGL, I always thought that trans referred to someone who was transitioning/had transitioned from their assigned gender to their identified gender.

See, I'm NB, and if you ask me that's still bullshit. They're the ones that were making assumptions about Conchita. It would've taken maybe a few minutes to find out that she's the drag persona of a cis guy called Tom Neuwirth who came up with the persona as a reaction and statement about discrimination, especially since this isn't even the first time he's gone on stage as Conchita.

Trans = identifies as something other than their assigned sex, experiences gender dysphoria because of that. That's about it. Most trans people want to transition, but it's not an option for everyone and being mid- or post-transition isn't a requirement for being trans.
