Honestly, these are similar feels to when I see trans girls so giddy over girly things. I love when others want to join the woman club, it’s pretty dang cool over here :3
I didn’t realise that cis people could experience gender euphoria until I saw trans women delighting in being a woman. Being in community with trans folk has done wonders for helping me to work through my internalised misogyny, and made me a much better feminist
For a more serious answer - I was referring to stereotypical things that are seen as worth less because women are primarily interested in them. My own internalized misogyny kept me away from the color pink for a long time as an example.
You have a salient point that nothing is really “girly” or “boy-y” and it should be seen that way more often.
Yeah yeah! I’d just like more people to realize that something is only “girly” or “boy-y” when someone says so, it’s arbitrary and not rooted in the nature of things (because things just do exist).
This is really sweet, gosh.

This comment made me smile, gosh I’m so happy for you to experience that!
It honestly is. Thanks so much for having us 💜
I wouldn’t have it any other way :)
What are even girly things, though?
Edit: Genuine question, although a bit rhetorical too, and in good faith; I’m just a bit of a gender abolitionist myself so…
Edit 2: Wtf lol, I typed "fightx when I tried to say “faith” lmaoo
Anything that a girl likes!
