if we qn notions of authenticity at play in a notion like (real woman) where does that leave a notion like living ur truth or the closet as living a lie like otoh we ask well what is a real woman and oto i wanna say a woman is what i rly am so we have this idea of living authentic lives but also this questioning of authenticity and ig i’m torn bet saying this is authenticity that isn’t or just saying there’s no such thing all is artifice like there’s such a thing as a real woman and it includes trans women but nopes trans men and yet i do wanna say what truth what reality but in sartre pour soi is nvr abt correspondence theoretic accounts of truth only inner coherence true to urself not to (the world) or to some consensus that’s only conformance which at this juncture also interesting that we have crowd based epistemology like an actual consensus account of truth is at play in things like wikipedia so that a much more xplicit than b4 conformance notion of reality is in play

gender precedes sex
gender precedes sex—if you’re lucky
gender is a narratological and not a metaphysical category as is number but ofc metaphysics is ultimately narratology in any case
gender like race sexuality number is a story we tell a narrative only ever like icelandic sagas more or less but nvr quite tru
what is truth certainly not st that can be expressed in language
all language carries on its belly a narratology
a language is a hearth for telling tales
so my sexedness is a qn of which stories are available to me and a function not only therefore of my facticity but also of my imagination

an analog modelling synth is a digital synth in analog drag post gender post human post metaphysics post language is it an authentic SOPHIE record vsco filters sksksks authenticity and irony queering the reductive and reactionary there’s nothing ironic about it authenticity is a fascist ideal that’s why all these tankies are transphobes like if your biggest concern with women’s prisons is making sure they’re full of (biological women) you’re no feminist

that the language imposes narratological constraints doesn’t make the narrative any less fictional
