It is so strange to me that gender being a social construct remains a controversial take in society. It feels like we’re backsliding.
I learned this 17 years ago in sociology class at a public school. I then made a portrait series I titled Gender Spectrum and presented it at my small town county fair for 4H. I got a blue ribbon. None of this was weird or even remotely political, it was just me applying a bit of scientific knowledge from school to an art piece.
In my state teachers aren’t allowed to teach anything LGBT including gender being a social construct.
Pornhub is blocked too,
So is abortion,
So is HRT under 18,
Books are being taken off school shelves, and the only librarian in my district who voted ‘no’ to a ban gets her name publicly released in a sea of 'yes’es essentially doxxing her (love ya Ms perry)We are undoubtedly going backwards.
It’s wild to me that this comic is 8+ years old (I’m unclear on the exact origin) and one of the first times I saw the term “woke”.
Now it’s parroted by right-wing assholes whenever they don’t like something.
The word devolved so fast.
Ironic bow.
