I have no idea how to formulate anything right now. I did read all of the article but there are a lot of things that bothered me and I have a lot of comments on my experiences. Mostly with my experiences with intersectionality and the over lap that occurs with gender/orientation.

There is some fuckbag on Tumblr who likes to tag their entries with the genderqueer tag and spends an inordinate amount of time writing entries which claim that 'science' says one cannot be genderqueer (never mind that science has in fact not proven this at all), and that people who claim to be so are just teenage Tumblr users who want to be special snowflakes.

I want to punch that idiot so fucking hard.

Geesus Christ. Gender is a construct. Science points towards that so there is no way to say you can't be 'genderqueer' when gender in itself is a human creation. What a dumbfuck.
