I disagree that 'sex based clothing categories' are normal to distinguish differences in clothing sizes.

'Small, medium, large' are commonly used. Not 'man' and 'woman'.

I would agree that this mas mockery, rather than irony, if the shirt came in Male Fit and Female Fit. But it doesn't. It comes in Men and Women.

The GC view is that Men=Male and Women=Female. But the very people who insist that there are more than two genders consider that defining everyone according to the binary man/woman view is wrong. So non-binary female-bodied Sam, who likes a shirt that fits ver curves, and doesn't sag over ver shoulders in order to accommodate ver hips, is going to have to accept reality and order the women's fit.

Fancy sizing t-shirts by a social construct. How utterly transphobic of them. It must be horribly triggering having to buy clothing in a gender you don’t identify with. I shall be writing a strongly worded email asking why they don’t do a polydemisemimultiunifeminacnutroisgender T-shirt, and telling them it’s triggered my PTSD as a result. Honestly, it’s like us polydemisemimultiunifeminacnutroisgender people don’t even exist. I feel erased, the bigots.

Perhaps I should have put "lighthearted" in the heading? Tbh I just think the people who are selling this T-shirt have behaved idiotically. Why do male and female fits have to be specified when this isn't the usual way to categorise sizing? Why would you do that if you are part of a group who essentially argue that gender is more important than biology and that there are more than two genders?

Yes - of all items of clothing a t-shirt is pretty easy to sell in unisex sizes.

And if it’s about style, who is to say that one style is feminine and one masculine?

SolveigSleeps · 03/11/2018 12:07

TRAs claim that "man" and "woman" are gender identities, so how are they differentiating the sizing between two social constructs that are essentially just feelings? How dare they be so hypocritical as to enforce the gender binary - where is the non-binary option!? Angry

I think it just shows everyone wants a piece of the cash cow, irrespective of what they actually believe.

Yup, there are like 7billion 'genders'. Fuck all to do with sex though, which is male/man and female/woman.

Many trans people feel they are the object of a witch hunt.

As do many women, by TRAs.

Interesting that some seem to be willfully missing the point of this thread though.

So, as a GC feminist, I’m reporting for transphobia.

I feel so bad now for laughing :(

(not)
