edit:
im rehearsing my gender
Got me one of them no-perform genders through the union
Going to the gender picket to protest big woke until I get a raise
My parents paid my way through theater academie and i feel bad when I don’t put my degree to use.
Was going to make a joke about parents forcing gender roles on you, but that’s probably super relevant
My parents were actually pretty chill about me running around in skirts and eyeliner. I lucked out and got the “be polite to people, respect people’s differences, don’t fight unless you have to, and also here’s how to use a power drill 3,000 different ways” masculinity instead of strict adherence to normative gender roles.
Gender is a nightmare from which I am trying to awaken
Gender isn’t real, it can’t hurt you
My rack looks great in a dress
I’m trying not to! .
Judith Butler made me
My boymoding is purely performative, but it’s still a 50/50 whether I get Ma’am-ed at the supermarket. Beyond that, I’m still more of an understudy…
all the world’s a stage 🎭💃
i dont know enough smart people to stop playing Traumatizing Pretend
It’s fun to be a girl.
Decades of social conditioning has altered (read: harmed) my grey matter to a near permanent degree
It’s my favorite play and I want to be my favorite character, of course!
One day I’ll be the suave, confident twink sidekick to the buff himbo top main character that I’ll end up smooching at the end.
I preform masculinity solely because it it slightly less work
Follow up question, where are you performing gender? Community theater? Improv group? Comedy club?
