oh wait this is a whole Thing p sure the reason i dont want to be perceived as sexual (except for comedic reasons) is bc "being sexual + female-presenting" + "male friendship" feel mutually exclusive

Replying to @goblinodds and @QiaochuYuan
might be a sexual thing actually, i really have no idea, seems hard to disentangle those two things actually (don't want to be perceived as female/don't want to be perceived as sexual outside of the context of a relationship)

I’ve been thinking about this *a lot* recently, nice to have it on the tl! i feel this way and hate it but it’s deep in there. what confuses me about this for me is I can’t figure out what the core fear is… losing male friendship? being attacked? just good ole sex shaming?

it probably helps that I was told v young that girls could be smart or attractive but not both and I was like “okay well I’m the smart type.” But also COME ON I’ve worked on so much shit since then are you seriously telling me that still drives my choices

Still grappling with internalising the idea that girls can be the normal kind of smart, not a special different kind of smart that is only for girls and doesn't really count twitter.com/captain_mrs/st
